Evolutionary game analysis of factoring financing with bankruptcy risk based on smart contracts
Digitalization has promoted the transformation of supply chain finance,in which smart contract technology has shown unique advantages in the field of factoring financing.This paper studies the financing chain system composed of sup-pliers,sellers,and banks.Through evolutionary game analysis,it is found that the increased bankruptcy risk of suppliers will cause them to be more inclined to factoring financing,and then affect the strategies of other entities.The setting of bank fac-toring deposits affects the stability of the system.A moderate deposit stimulates sellers to repay normally,while an excessive-ly high deposit can lead to instability in the system.The optimal strategy can be achieved only when the additional benefits of deferred repayment by sellers are low.Therefore,it is necessary for smart contracts to set reasonable late fees and deposits to stimulate timely repayment and the adoption of factoring,and to maintain the long-term stability of the financing chain.The research shows that smart contract technology reduces the risk of supplier bankruptcy,increases bank profits and sell-ers'credibility,and achieves a win-win results.
