 Our paper investigates how prices are determined on peer-to-peer markets  We analyze whether experience and reputation in sharing economy platforms have the same impact as in traditional markets  We provide the first empirical analysis of the world's leading intercity carsharing platform, BlaBlaCar  We show that more-experienced drivers on BlaBlaCar set lower prices and sell more seats than less-experienced drivers.  We find evidence of discrimination against drivers of a minority group (Arabic drivers) that sell less seats on Blablacar.

The emergence of the sharing economy has had a tremendous impact on the tourism industry; however, few quality management mechanisms exist for shared tourism services. Based on unique data of 52,248 transactions collected from BlaBlaCar, the world’s leading ridesharing platform, this study examines the independent and combined effects of quality cues on travelers’ demand for peer-to-peer ridesharing services. The findings suggest that intrinsic cues (product reputation and seller reputation) and extrinsic cues (relative price and offer duration) are decisive in increasing demand, and their combined effects can be positive or negative. In addition, analyses of the heterogeneous effects of intrinsic and extrinsic cues across seller segments clarify how consumers evaluate product quality using information from multiple cues. These findings contribute to the literature on tourism and marketing by providing new insights into the design of competitive product offers in the sharing economy.

Pour les PME, investir dans un progiciel de gestion intégré - ERP - correspond à un investissement informatique majeur, assimilable à une décision stratégique. L’article teste l’influence des priorités stratégiques des PME sur leur choix d’utiliser ou non un système ERP. Une investigation auprès de 1977 PME montre que la recherche de réactivité est le seul positionnement stratégique augmentant la probabilité d’adopter un ERP. Les stratégies d’affaires centrées sur les caractéristiques des produits n’ont, elles, pas d’influence.
