Research On Natural Gas Pricing Model Based On Multi-agent Dynamic Game

With the rapid development of China’s economy,the natural gas industry has developed rapidly,and the price of natural gas is an important lever to promote the development of upstream and downstream natural gas industries.The price of natural gas is related to the national economy and the people’s livelihood.It is related to the development of the natural gas market.Our research on natural gas prices has very important practical significance.How to reform and improve China’s natural gas pricing mechanism and rationalize the price of natural gas is the core and key to the healthy and orderly development of China’s natural gas industry.Based on the marketization of natural gas pricing,this paper fully considers the supply and demand conditions of the natural gas market,the main bodies of supply and demand and their influences on the formation mechanism of natural gas prices,we construct a game pricing model that determines the price of natural gas from market supply and demand,and it can provide relevant theoretical basis for realizing market-oriented pricing of natural gas in China.First,we study and analyze China’s natural gas pricing model and the current status of China’s natural gas pricing as well as existing problems.Then,based on the direction of market-oriented reform of natural gas pricing,we construct a game pricing model composed of supply and demand entities in the natural gas market from the perspective of supply and demand.Next,we build the Starkberg game model where manufacturers dominate,gas companies dominate,and consumers dominate.By analyzing and comparing the equilibrium prices and benefits obtained from different game models,it can be known that when consumers are in a dominant position,they can obtain the lowest natural gas sales prices,which is conducive to stimulate the demand for natural gas,which is conducive to promoting the development of the downstream user market and is conducive to the development of the natural gas industry.Finally,suggestions were made to further improve the natural gas pricing mechanism in China.The research of this paper has better science and practicability,provides relevant theoretical basis for the realization of market-based pricing of natural gas pricing,and also provides reference for subsequent research in this field.
