Sharing
What's yours is mine: against sharing economy (2017)
H.1 The sharing economy
there are at least 2 visions in the sharing economy:
the disruptive globe-straddling ambition of companies with billions of dollars to spend, challenging democratically made laws around the world, acquiring competitors in search of scale, and (in Uber's case) researching new technologies to render its workforce obsolete.
the communitarian and cooperative vision focused on small-scale personal exchanges
"The buzz around the Sharing Economy began a few years ago but it really started to enter the mainstream in 2013 and 2014." (p.1)
Sharing economy is no longer a realistic description
H.2 The sharing economy landscape
"The Sharing Economy landscape is defined not only by what it includes, but by what kind of sharing organizations are missing." (p.14)
"There are many organizations that seem to fit into the Sharing Economy mandate, taken literally, but that have no link to Peers, whether they be equipment rental shops, secondhand stores, boat rentals, or even the big car-rental companies."
"If Sharing Economy companies define the name, then it is clear that the Internet is a central part of their self-identification."
"The normal way in which communities provide shared goods is through government, from municipal swimming pools and soccer fields to public transit to librarries and much more, but there are no government groups in the list."
H.3 A place to stay with Airbnb
Airbnb's price point is at the same time its strenght and its weakness: stories about people getting out of debts by renting out their space, but also stories about landlords setting their people out of their property to make more money through Airbnb, about tenants renting their own rooms at steep prices.
playing with regulations
The concept is not the problem, the scale at which it happens is.
Refusing to take repsonsability
H.4 On the move with Uber
Zipcar
"Zipcar uses a strict style of governance to maintain compliance with the rules of car sharing to make sure cars aren't brought back late the gas tank is filled, etc. Consumers like and even want more of this surveillance, as they feel it is the only way the system can work effectively, since they don't trust each other to obey the rules without zipcar's heavy handed enforcement." (p.46-47)
The "15-car figure" (p.47)
Lyft
Is your company still environmentally better at going from A to B if people are making large trips to make money?
BlaBlaCar gives a fare less than the cost of driving from A to B: drivers share costs and do not make an income.
Uber
Drivers need to reach certain requirements, but not as much as taxi drivers.
"Law professor Paul Stephen Dempsey spelled out reasons for those regulations in a 1996 paper and focuses on two main motivations: level of service (limiting the number of taxis and regulating fares) and standards of service (universal acces, safety standards, and insurance requirements)" (p.54)
People are working too much to reach the same salary
2014: protests over low income in Seattle, San Francisco, L.A., N.Y., London
Both taxi and Uber drivers can be bad boys, but "the difference between the two is that there is a mechanism for people or communities to demand better of taxi companies and to hold them accountable." (p.62)
Universal access: taxis have to cover all areas of the city and they have to be ready to transport anybody without discrimination.
H.5 Neighbours helping neighbours
Taskrabbit, Lyft & Ebay: from auctions to fixed prices
When updating the concept of your platform, make sure your users are behind the change. Freedom is an appealing aspect, so don't take too much control.
H.6 Strangers trusting strangers
critique on reputation systems
"... most regulations exist to screen those things that customers cannot see for themselves." (p. 90)
"Most tourists cannot assess whether their accomodations are properly protected in case of fire,
restaurant customers will not know whether the kitchen handles food properly,
taxi passengers will not know whether the brakes of their car are in good condition, and most will never find out."
"Reputation systems are also the wrong tool to deal with extreme failures of trust."
Only a small part of trust problems are tackled through reputation systems, such as...
friendliness
cleanliness
punctuality
trustworthiness
"Thinking economically, it must be a signal that is easy for a trusworthy person to display but too costly for an untrustworthy person to display." (p. 91)
mechanisms for solving the problem of trust (some better than others)
Group membership
Regulations (like food safety)
Professional qualifications (e.g. university degree)
Certificates and ratings
Establishing a reputation
The person giving the review is not taken accountable for it
Racism, sexism or other exclusions
No weights to reviews
"If you can buy and sell testimonies, those testimonies lose their ability to discriminate between trustworthiness and opportunism."
Ratings
Ratings are based on earlier information about the service
Ratings are no indication for quality
Ratings are high out of fear for an own low rating and / or out of courtesy
In personal transactions / exchanges, it is perceived impolite to speak badly about the other "in public", which is not the case with impersonal exchanges (like watching a movie)
"Dissatisfied eBay customers give, not a bad rating, but no rating at all." (p. 101)
H.7 A short history of openness
openness disrupts existing markets and creates new, complementary markets.
H.8 Open wide
Tying money to social exchanges impacts the exchange itself
"In a famous study called
The Gift of Relationship
, Richard Titmuss compared the American and British systems of blood donation and concluded that the introduction of monetary incentives in the US had lowered the frequency of donations, because " aloowing a market in blood changes the social understanding of blood donation from 'a gift of life' to a mere cash equivalent."" (p. 140)
"There is a reason that profiting from emergencies is called "price gouging" and it is because the broader situation demands a community-driven response that the monetary incentives of supply and demand only undermine, regardless of its impact on the number of Uber vehicles it gets on the road." (p. 141)
The value of commons is created and managed by a community, but owned by a single entity
Three contradictions between commons and commerce
Alienation: tying money to commons can change the community, particularly for scaling up activities, a clash between the owners and the contributors of the commons.
Erosion: the more a comon is used, the more of its original value erodes (e.g. Barcelona being transformed to allow more tourists, losing its distinctive character)
Distortion: investors are changing the idea of "good for everyone" into "good for a few", breaking with the original promise of the platform
H.9 What's yours is mine
"Where it will go wrong is if one of these companies succeeds in taking it global, guided by venture capitalists with previous experience, building a big business in the social dining sector by taking a fee for each meal and by encouraging hosts to see it as a money-making opportunity." (p. 164)
Are e-scooters polluters? The environmental impacts of shared dockless electric scooters (2019)
Abstract: environmental burdens associated with charging the e-scooter are small relative to materials and manufacturing burdens of the e-scooters and the impacts associated with transporting the scooters to overnight charging stations.
Intro: Dockless shared e-scooters are touted as a solution to the last-mile problem, a means to reduce traffic congestion, and an environmentally preferable mode of transportation [1, 2].
Methods: Use phase: Shared e-scooters may have much shorter lifetimes, however, due to mistreatment or scooters may last longer under lower usage scenarios. Recent reports have suggested that many scooters may be damaged by e-scooter users or citizens, and recent reports suggest that e-scooters may have far shorter lifetimes[30].
Results: In our survey of e-scooter riders, 7% of users reported that they would not have taken the trip otherwise, 49% would have biked or walked, 34% would have used a personal automobile or ride-share service, and 11% would have taken a public bus (table S 7).
Results: These results show that dockless e-scooters consistently result in higher life cycle global warming impacts relative to the use of a bus with high ridership, an electric bicycle, or a bicycle per passenger-mile traveled
Discussion: Taken as a whole, these results suggest that, while e-scooters may be an effective solution to urban congestion and last-mile problem, they do not necessarily reduce environmental impacts from the transportation system.
Results: reduce environmental burdens

"... de deeleconomie is niet nieuw, maar door het internet is het model nu ook op grote schaal toepasbaar."
"Het kopen/verkopen van goederen valt strict gezien niet onder de sharing economy, maar wordt collaborative consumption genoemd..."
aandacht voor deeleconomie door
economische crisis
mensen hechten steeds meer waarde aan toegang dan aan bezit
gunstiger voor samenleving om slimmer gebruik te maken van hetgeen we al hebben
"Door de diversiteit en intensiteit van netwerken zijn zij veel beter dan klassieke organisaties/instituten in staat om in te spelen op verandering en individuele behoeften."
"Over het algemeen zijn de gebruikers van de platformen hoog opgeleid en tussen de 20 en 39 jaar oud."

"Collaborative lifestyles: Non-product assets such as space, skills and money are exchanged and traded in new ways"
"Product service systems: Pay to access the benefit of a product versus needing to own it outright"
"P2P economy: person-to-person marketplaces that facilitate the sharing and direct trade of assets built on peer trust."

The cost of non-Europe in the sharing economy | The European parliamentary research service
(january 2016)
Drivers
Technology
facilitating individual access to the many services
linking supplier and user
paperless financial transactions possible
the development of social networks creates new needs and demands and encourage the development of relationships
Evolving economic behaviours
The 2008 crisis had many people search ways to save money and make supplementary income
the realisation of the stockpile of underutilised assets
each individual can provide their own services (and choose at which price they offer them)
users become suppliers
Social & societal factors
the densification of the population creates an environment for communities and facilitates local services, while in the meantime creating new needs specific to the organisation/environment they're in (e.g.common city gardens for people in an apartment)
environmental concerns as a result of economizing on assets or just the want for a greener economy
Issues
economic dimension
Joseph Stiglitz questions the innovations of the recent years (2015): "For now, Facebook, Airbnb, the collaborative economy does not generate productivity gains as powerful as those of the industrial revolution, and we do not know how to measure what they inject in gross domestic product."
lower productivity means often lower productive people compared to traditional companies, creating an unskilled workforce.
are assets overvaluated, considering the low amount compared to traditional businesses?
Is the sharing economy substituting from the existing economy?
companies will have to rethink and reorganise their business towards a new audience: consumer communities
unfair competition due to the absence of taxes or insurances
social dimension
no status of employee and thus not their benefits (social insurance, sick pension, guaranteed loan)
theoretically, platform users are free to combine with another platform, but in practice, this is not possible, making them 'disguised' employees
disruption of the proper functioning of the social protection (although a different social taxation system could overcome this problem)
environmental dimension
rebound effect: money saved within the sharing economy might be used later to consume something they didn't have the money for before.
the popularity of sharing platforms might give the impression that there is no need for further investment in sustainability (e.g. if carpooling becomes highly popular, governments might decide to limit their investments in public transport)
Priority issues directly relevant for the sharing economy
defining digital platforms
improving regulations applied to sharing economy platforms
mitigating of social exclusion (think also about Rachel Botsman's 'the currency of the new economy is trust')
the potential market power of sharing economy platforms (prevent them from becoming monopolies)
apply labour market regulation to sharing platforms (is the sharing person an employee or not?)
other initiatives
data protection
plan forward for the potential growth (e.g. providing adequate infrastructure)

Shared-Use Vehicle Systems: A Framework for Classifying Carsharing, Station Cars, and Combined Approaches (2002)
Abstract: Shared-use vehicles offer the convenience of the private automobile and more flexibility than public transportation alone. These systems are attractive since they offer the
potential
to:
Reduce a user's transportation costs
Decrease the need for parking spaces in a community
Improve overall air quality
Facilitate access and encourage use of other transportation modes, such as rail transit
3 carsharing models
neighborhood carsharing
"Carsharing efforts emerged primarily from individuals who wanted the mobility benefits of automobiles but could not justify the cost of vehicle ownership, parking, and other associated expenses."
"Members typically reserve shared-use vehicles in advance. At the time of the rental, the user gains access to the vehicle, carries out her trip, and returns the vehicle back to the same lot she originally accessed it from."
fee based on use
"Lots are located so carsharing users can conveniently acces vehicles for tripmaking."
station cars
"The earliest and predominant station car model consists of a fleet of vehicles deployed at passenger rail stations in metropolitan areas that are used by rail commuters primarily on the home- and work-end of a trip."
multi-nodal shared-use vehicles
"... trips are more likely to be one-way..."
"Because there are many more one-way trips in a multi-nodal scenario, the number of shared-use vehicles at each station can quickly become disproportionally distributed among the nodes."
Key elements of classification system

De deeleconomie, een opportuniteit voor de allerarmsten? Een verkennende studie. | Koning Boudewijnstichting
(14/12/16)
"Uit gesprekken met een kansarm publiek blijkt [...] alvast dat een hele reeks mogelijkheden van de deeleconomie voor deze mensen behoorlijk ontoegankelijk zijn, te beginnen met alles wat via een betalend businessmodel werkt. De deelpraktijken die gebaseerd zijn op digitale toegankelijkheid stellen de digitale kloof aan de orde. En initiatieven die een beroep doen op het delen van competenties roepen bij deze mensen vragen naar hun vaardigheden op: een kansarm publiek voelt zich 'niet klaar' voor dit soort uitwisseling van diensten.
"Actoren in de sociale sector [...] beoordelen de mogelijkheden van de deeleconomie verschillend en zitten met vragen over het model: als je de deeleconomie verbindt met de sociale actie, vormt ze dan een bedreiging voor ons toch al breekbare sociaal model? Leidt de komst van nieuwe actoren uit de deeleconomie tot concurrentievervalsing met de sector van de sociale economie? Of is het tegendeel het geval en is de deeleconomie juist een zegen om het hoofd te bieden aan de vermindering van de subsidies, om de middelen, de structuren en de partnerschappen te diversifiëren en te delen? Zet het economische model dat gebaseerd is op overheidssubsidies een rem op de ontwikkeling van deelpraktijken bij actoren in de sociale sector?"
