Abstract

In order to study the pricing strategy selection of regional ports in the increasingly fierce competitive environment, the Bertrand model was used to establish a single simultaneous game and sequential game model to deeply analyze the intrinsic mechanism of pricing strategies for regional ports. In addition, considering that the single game is not enough to explain the choice of pricing strategy of regional ports in long-term game, the pricing mechanism of regional ports in infinite repeated game was studied, and the results of the model were verified by examples. It is shown that there is a certain degree of tacit collusion pricing of regional ports in the competitive environment, and this tacit collusion pricing strategy will gradually stabilize with the increase of games number. The results have reference significance for authorities in the port resources integration to strengthen antitrust regulation.
