Abstract:

In order to improve the competitive advantage and performance of the vehicles and cargos matching platform, the article analyzes the characteristic of service providers of vehicles and cargos matching platform. By dividing it into professional and non-professional service providers, a game model of the vehicles and cargos matching platform is constructed. The result show that, if platforms' two sides are single-homing, the vehicles and cargos matching platform would charges the same fee for two kinds of suppliers, but if platforms' one side is multi-homing, the vehicles and cargos matching platform tend to charge high access price for non-specialist suppliers and lower access price for professional suppliers. Moreover, a strategy of accessing to suppliers firstly would be more beneficial to the oligopoly vehicles and cargos matching platform.

Key words: sharing economy, vehicles and cargos matching platform, Hotelling model, pricing strategy
