However, data can be easily copied, disseminated, or resold, leading to disorderly development in the data trading market, and raising the issue of data governance. Data trading involves various participants, while existing research lacks an understanding of participant interactions and strategy adoption, as well as determination of optimal strategies for the participants. To address these gaps and provide insights for the governance of data trading platforms, this paper proposes an evolutionary game model for the governance of data trading involving three parties: data suppliers, demanders, and trading platforms. Our findings reveal that data trading platforms choosing to govern, data suppliers choosing to innovate positively, and data demanders choosing not to resell can be achieved under certain conditions. We also find that an increase in the price of data trading or the number of transactions can weaken the effectiveness of platform governance and make data trading more difficult to govern. Additionally, the incentives for data innovation provided by the trading platform can significantly promote data suppliers to innovate data positively. However, when these incentives are too high, the platform may weaken its level of governance or even move towards non-governance. Increasing penalties for data resale weakens data demanders\u2019 motivation to resell data, and a higher probability of data resale being reported lowers their motivation to do so. By examining the role of different participants in data trading, the model proposes ways to improve the efficiency and robustness of the data market while better protecting the interests of data traders.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems11070363","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,18]],"date-time":"2023-07-18T01:35:16Z","timestamp":1689644116000},"page":"363","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Evolutionary Game Analysis of Data Resale Governance in Data Trading"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3065-4438","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yong","family":"Sun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Administration, Guangzhou University, Guangzhou 510006, China"},{"name":"Institute of Rural Revitalization, Guangzhou University, Guangzhou 510006, China"}]},{"given":"Yafeng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Policy and Management, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"School of Intellectual Property, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}]},{"given":"Jinxiao","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Policy and Management, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"School of Intellectual Property, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}]},{"given":"Sihui","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Economics and Management, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou 510642, China"},{"name":"Research Institute of Rural Development of Guangdong Province, Guangzhou 510642, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"5831331","article-title":"Legal Modeling Approach of Big Data Transaction Management in the Perspective of Digital Economy","volume":"2022","author":"Wang","year":"2022","journal-title":"Math.
