Query: Price Cycles in Ridesharing Platforms   In ridesharing platforms such as Uber and Lyft, it is observed that drivers
sometimes collaboratively go offline when the price is low, and then return
after the price has risen due to the perceived lack of supply. This collective
strategy leads to cyclic fluctuations in prices and available drivers,
resulting in poor reliability and social welfare. We study a continuous time,
non-atomic model and prove that such online/offline strategies may form a Nash
equilibrium among drivers, but lead to a lower total driver payoff if the
market is sufficiently dense. Further, we show how to set price floors that
effectively mitigate the emergence and impact of price cycles.
