The improvement of drug quality requires not only the supervision of government, but also the participation of new media. Therefore, this paper considers the impact of government regulation and new media reports on pharmaceutical enterprises, constructs a evolutionary game model, and analyzes the evolution trajectory of pharmaceutical enterprises' choice of drug quality improvement strategy and drug cost reduction strategy. We obtain the conditions for the two strategies to achieve evolutionary stability under the dominance of external factors and the dominance of expected returns. To verify the theoretical results, we conduct a numerical simulation by the software . The results show that, first of all, when the government penalty is high, the drug quality improvement strategy tends to become an evolutionary stable solution, increasing the penalty amount will help promote the improvement of drug quality. What's more, when the government penalty is low and the new media influence is low, the drug cost reduction strategy is easier to dominate. The higher the new media influence, the higher the probability that pharmaceutical enterprises choose the drug quality improvement strategy. Thirdly, when the number of pharmaceutical enterprises is lower than a threshold, the drug quality improvement strategy is easier to dominate. Finally, the drug quality improvement strategy is dominant when the quality cost factor is low and the government penalty is high, the drug cost reduction strategy is dominant when the quality cost factor is high and the government penalty is low. Above all, this paper provides countermeasures and suggestions for the drug quality improvement of pharmaceutical enterprises in practice.
提高药品质量不仅需要政府的监管,还需要新媒体的参与。因此,本文考虑了政府监管和新媒体报道对制药企业的影响,构建了一个演化博弈模型,分析了制药企业选择药品质量改进策略和药品成本降低策略的演化轨迹。我们得到了在外部因素主导和预期收益主导下两种策略达到演化稳定的条件。为了验证理论结果,我们使用软件进行了数值模拟。结果表明,首先,当政府罚款较高时,药品质量改进策略倾向于成为演化稳定解,增加罚款金额将有助于促进药品质量的提高。其次,当政府罚款较低且新媒体影响力较低时,药品成本降低策略更容易占据主导地位。新媒体影响力越高,制药企业选择药品质量改进策略的概率就越高。第三,当制药企业数量低于阈值时,药品质量改进策略更容易占据主导地位。最后,当质量成本因素较低且政府罚款较高时,药品质量改进策略占主导地位,当质量成本因素较高且政府罚款较低时,药品成本降低策略占主导地位。总之,本文为制药企业在实践中提高药品质量提供了对策和建议。
