Abstract

The paper discusses the so-called sharing economy from an industrial
structure perspective. The illustrative cases examined are Airbnb and Uber.
The research question raised is concerned with the extent to which
transaction cost theory can be used to explain the changing industrial
structures in the application areas that the Internet-based platforms are
addressing and how other theoretical frameworks can be helpful in understanding
these developments. The paper concludes by proposing a theoretical
framework for analyzing the structural implications of the sharing
economy based on theories on multi-sided platforms, transaction costs,
and substitution and complementation.
