When matching riders with self-interested drivers in a spatial network, ride-hailing platforms face two challenges: (i) there are spatial demand imbalances that require some repositioning of drivers to serve the total rider demand, and (ii) the self-interested drivers strategically decide whether to join the network, and if so, whether to wait for the next rider or reposition when not serving riders. We study the effects of supply-side financial incentives on drivers’ decentralized repositioning decisions and the resulting repositioning equilibrium and evaluate their effectiveness in achieving the equilibrium under centralized repositioning.
