Sharing with neighbours: Insights from local practices of the sharing economy

Consumer intentions to use collaborative economy platforms: A meta‐analysis

“…CEPs are of increasing theoretical and practical relevance (Armstrong Soule & Hanson, 2022; Sun et al, 2022), and therefore researchers have devoted a lot of attention to studying the motivations and barriers to CEP usage intentions and, to a lesser extent, to the willingness to pay (WTP) a premium price for CEP services (e.g. Akin et al, 2021; Chung et al, 2022; Ertz et al, 2021; Hamari et al, 2016). The multiple studies conducted independently provided valuable theoretical insights into the factors driving CEP usage and WTP.…”

“…Although the risk may be well managed and attenuated through improved reputation mechanisms, the peer‐to‐peer and informal nature of many CEP schemes leaves room for ‘lemons problems’ (Thierer et al, 2015). Some digital collaborative platforms have mitigated risk by providing users with command controls and surveillance (Bardhi & Eckhardt, 2012; Lamberton & Rose, 2012), scripting other users as neighbours (Akin et al, 2021) or using systems of legitimacy to spur confidence (Sutherland & Jarrahi, 2018), but many other CEP (e.g. online resales) remain entirely based on trust and subject to abuse.…”

“…Consequently, trust remains an important construct with a highly significant impact on intentions, thus one of the key success factors of CEP, as identified early on by Botsman and Rogers (2010) and later by Akin et al (2021). In sum, while perceived risk dampens intentions, the effect of trust is maintained on intentions, as initially suggested by the literature (Hamari et al, 2016; Lamberton & Rose, 2012; Oyedele & Simpson, 2018).…”

“…Consequently, a substantial body of empirical research has been accumulated on intentions to engage in CEP (e.g. Akin et al, 2021; Chung et al, 2022; Ertz et al, 2021; Hamari et al, 2016). Research findings to date, however, are rather fragmented and inconclusive.…”

A netnography approach on the daily local-guided shopping tour experiences of travellers: An unexplored facet of the sharing economy

“…For example, Gazzola et al (2019) noted that sharing economy users participate in these platforms for sustainable development (environmental), socialising (social), knowledge (social), and economic incentives (economic). Another recent study (Akin et al, 2021) revealed that users involve in sharing economy platforms for the social, environmental, economic, and practical benefits. When considering the benefits of such platforms, people intensely participate in sharing activities.…”
