基于我国农产品市场实行自愿性认证的政策背景,将消费者有限理性纳入分析范畴,通过构建低质量厂商和高质量厂商的双寡头市场博弈模型,剖析有限理性消费者的存在对自愿性认证机制有效性的影响。研究结果表明:市场上有限理性消费者比例的变化将会导致厂商选择不同的认证行为,并进一步形成不同的市场均衡;有限理性消费者的存在是导致自愿性认证机制失效的重要因素,当有限理性消费者比例过高时,自愿性认证无法有效发挥改进市场效率的作用。最后,通过数值分析验证了模型推导的结果。
<<The policy of voluntary certifications is implemented in Chinese agricultural market. We take the type of boundedly rational consumers into consideration and analyze how the proportion of boundedly rational consumers influences the effectiveness of the voluntary certification mechanisms with a duopoly game model between high-quality and low-quality firms. Results show that the change of the boundedly rational consumers proportion will lead to different certification behaviors and different market equilibrium. The existence of boundedly rational consumers is an important factor of the failure of voluntary certification mechanism. When the proportion is very high,the voluntary certification will not play an effective role in improving market efficiency.
