Study on the Dynamic Evolution of Transverse Collusive Bidding Behavior and Regulation Countermeasures Under the “Machine-Managed Bidding” System by Zongyuan Zhang, Jincan Liu, Zhitian Zhang, Bin Chen

“…Results indicate that: (1) The MMB model significantly mitigates vertical collusive bidding behavior but lacks measures for governing transverse collusive bidding; (2) The game model has five evolutionarily stable strategies, with the one where the collusion initiator adopting the “non-collude” strategy, the free bidder adopting the “bid” strategy, and the regulator adopting the “negative regulate” strategy being the optimal evolutionary stable strategy; (3) Decreasing the costs associated with preparing bid documents, enhancing supervision costs, increasing the technical complexity of collusive bidding, and expanding the total number of construction enterprises with high-credit and low-credit ratings can expedite the evolution of the three participants toward the optimal evolutionarily stable strategy. …”
