Abstract: To meet the massive and emergent logistics demand, learning from Europe and the USA, a cooperation mechanism can form a gathered and scaled logistics park network. Based on the current practice in China, the logistics Cloud platform makes the cooperation from a horizontal perspective possible. A tripartite evolutionary game model consisting of one logistics Cloud platform and two digital logistics parks is proposed. The platform has strategy {compensating, no compensating}, and the parks have strategy {sharing, no sharing}. The revenue function of each party is constructed, applying dynamic replication function based on stag hunt game; all equilibrium points are found. With Jacobi matrix, two asymptotically stable strategies are formed. The study shows that the three game players either choose sharing/compensating or no sharing/no compensating strategy. The strategy is affected by the sharing/compensating probability, the compensation and opportunity cost, and the order loss. The managerial insights are also discussed.
