Abstract
â¢We provide a definition of the sharing economy.â¢We discuss the economic, environmental and social impacts of the sharing economy.â¢We discuss the current regulatory principles that governments apply.â¢We go into possible alternatives to the current commercial sharing platforms.
We develop a conceptual framework that allows us to define the sharing economy and its close cousins and we understand its sudden rise from an economic-historic perspective. We then assess the sharing economy platforms in terms of the economic, social and environmental impacts. We end with reflections on current regulations and future alternatives, and suggest a number of future research questions.
