Comprehensive Analysis of the Sharing Economy:
Benefits, Challenges, and Market Participant Roles
Abstract
This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the sharing economy, emphasizing its defining characteristics, theoretical foundations, and evolving business models. It explores the roles and motivations of key market participants, including platform operators, service providers, and consumers, while examining the interplay between economic, social, and environmental benefits and challenges.
1 Introduction
The sharing economy has emerged as a transformative phenomenon, characterized by the temporary access to goods and services rather than outright ownership. This model is primarily enabled by digital platforms that mediate exchanges between resource owners and users, facilitating the efficient utilization of underused assets (Curtis & Mont, 2020, p. 4). Digitalization has played a crucial role in shaping the conditions for collaborative consumption. Algorithms embedded within these platforms not only streamline the process of matching resources but also contribute to risk reduction and trust-building among participants (Nadolny et al., 2023, p. 2). A defining feature of the sharing economy is its reliance on indirect network effects. The value experienced by one group of participants increases as more users join from the opposite side of the market (Belk, 2014, p. 1597). Trust mechanisms are central to the functioning of peer-to-peer platforms. Reputation systems, user reviews, and identity verification serve as substitutes for the institutional trust traditionally provided by established firms (Sundararajan, 2016, p. 23). The accumulation of verified reviews enables strangers to transact with a degree of confidence previously unavailable in informal markets. Despite its rapid expansion, the sharing economy remains contested terrain. Critics argue that platform operators externalize risks onto individual providers while capturing disproportionate value (Schor et al., 2016, p. 27). These dynamics raise fundamental questions about labour classification, regulatory jurisdiction, and the long-term sustainability of platform-dependent livelihoods.
2 Theoretical Foundations
Several theoretical frameworks have been applied to explain the growth and structure of sharing economy platforms. Transaction cost theory suggests that digital intermediaries reduce the costs associated with search, negotiation, and enforcement, making previously infeasible peer-to-peer exchanges economically viable (Frenken & Schor, 2017, p. 5). Platform economics further illuminates the multi-sided nature of these markets. Platforms derive their competitive advantage from the ability to coordinate distinct user groups - typically providers and consumers - whose participation is mutually reinforcing (Teubner, 2014, p. 40). This structure creates significant barriers to entry once critical mass is achieved on both sides. Resource-based perspectives highlight the role of underutilised assets as the primary supply-side driver. By monetising idle capacity - whether residential space, personal vehicles, or professional skills - individuals can generate supplementary income while simultaneously reducing allocative inefficiency at the aggregate level (Zervas et al., 2017, p. 688).

The Sharing Economy: Benefits and Drawbacks
Abstract
The sharing economy has reshaped how individuals access goods and services, replacing ownership with temporary, platform-mediated use. This thesis explores the rise of collaborative consumption, examining its economic, social, and environmental impact while weighing the trade-offs…
Introduction
Driven by digital platforms such as Airbnb, Uber, and BlaBlaCar, the sharing economy has emerged as a defining model of modern consumption. By matching idle resources with demand, it promises efficiency gains, lower costs, and broader access - yet it also raises concerns around regulation and labor rights.
Benefits
Among the primary benefits are increased asset utilization, reduced consumption, lower transaction costs, and expanded market access for small providers.
