动态定价方案越来越多地被应用于各个行业,以保持自组织的供需平衡。然而,在整个复杂的动力系统中,存在着可能损害其功能的非预期的集体状态。在这里,我们揭示了动态定价是如何导致而不是防止供需失衡的。结合博弈论和对按需打车服务动态定价数据的时间序列分析,我们解释了这一明显的矛盾。我们导出了一个相图,说明了动态定价如何以及在何种条件下激励打车司机的集体行动,从而导致异常的供应短缺。通过对全球137个地点的打车服务价格时间序列的不同时间尺度进行分解,我们发现了反映这些异常供应短缺的价格动态的特征模式。我们的结果通过揭示动态定价方案在何种条件下促进异常供应短缺,为动态定价的监管提供了系统的见解,特别是在公共可访问的移动系统中。

英文摘要:
Dynamic pricing schemes are increasingly employed across industries to maintain a self-organized balance of demand and supply. However, throughout complex dynamical systems, unintended collective states exist that may compromise their function. Here we reveal how dynamic pricing may induce demand-supply imbalances instead of preventing them. Combining game theory and time series analysis of dynamic pricing data from on-demand ride-hailing services, we explain this apparent contradiction. We derive a phase diagram demonstrating how and under which conditions dynamic pricing incentivizes collective action of ride-hailing drivers to induce anomalous supply shortages. By disentangling different timescales in price time series of ride-hailing services at 137 locations across the globe, we identify characteristic patterns in the price dynamics reflecting these anomalous supply shortages. Our results provide systemic insights for the regulation of dynamic pricing, in particular in publicly accessible mobility systems, by unraveling under which conditions dynamic pricing schemes promote anomalous supply shortages.
