“…It is worth noting that both definitions of "access-based consumption" and "collaborative consumption" include business-to-consumer services, such as Spotify or Zipcar (Böcker and Meelen 2016). Hamari et al (2015) focus on the technological developments that have facilitated user-generated content and collaboration. According to the authors, opensource software, online collaboration, file sharing and peer-to-peer financing are all examples of the sharing economy, while collaborative consumption is a sub-category of this technological phenomenon.…”

“…According to the authors, opensource software, online collaboration, file sharing and peer-to-peer financing are all examples of the sharing economy, while collaborative consumption is a sub-category of this technological phenomenon. Their definition of collaborative consumption is as follows: the "peerto-peer-based activity of obtaining, giving, or sharing the access to goods and services, coordinated through community-based online services" (Hamari et al 2015). Therefore, the authors view collaborative consumption or the sharing economy as umbrella concepts for the sharing of goods and services via online platforms.…”

Abstract:The aim of this analysis is to examine the characteristics of the Airbnb network, to verify the share of Airbnb offers that belong to the sharing economy and to identify the differences between the spatial distribution of the Airbnb network and the traditional hotel industry. The article is based on a unique dataset of web-scraped data on Airbnb listings in Warsaw (Poland), combined with district-level official statistics on the hotel industry. The analysis shows that only approximately 11% of offers belong to the sharing economy ("individuals granting each other temporary access to their under-utilised assets"), while at least one third of offers are provided by professional firms. The Airbnb network shows a strong centre-periphery pattern, with 75% of offers located within a range of 4.3 kilometres from the centre. The spatial concentration of Airbnb offers is strongly driven by their distance from metro lines, while it is weakly related to the amount of living space. On the district-level, the spatial distribution of Airbnb listings is correlated with that of the hotel industry, although Airbnb contributes to a more even spread of tourism in the city. The major contribution of this analysis is its presentation of the size and characteristics of the platform, which is essential for data-driven policy making.

“…Posiblemente dos de las definiciones que mejor caracterizan este nuevo fenómeno son las dadas por Hamari, Sjöklint & Ukkonen (2015) y por Botsman y Rogers (2010). La primera se refiere a la economía colaborativa como una actividad de igual a igual (peer-topeer) basada en obtener, dar o compartir el acceso a los bienes y servicios, coordinados a través de servicios online comunitarios.…”

Propiciada pelas novas tecnologias e internet e acrescida pela crise surge a Economia Colaborativa, um movimento que permite a indivíduos utilizar e trocar serviços ou bens objetivando uma compensação acordada entre as partes. O objetivo deste estudo é mostrar o estado atual da investigação científica sobre Economia Colaborativa. A metodologia utilizada é uma análise bibliométrica de carácter descritivo e exploratório dos artigos publicados em revistas indexadas a base de dados Scopus (Elsevier). Mediante uma procura avançada de termos foram identificados e analizados 165 documentos. Os resultados obtidos demonstram o crescente interesse da comunidade científica, principalmente nos países anglo-saxões (Estados Unidos e Reino Unido) pelo tema nos últimos cinco anos, motivado por seu rápido crescimento e seus efeitos sobre diversos aspectos do modelo de vida atual. Encontrou-se um maior número de publicações nas áreas de ciências sociais, informática e empresa, administração e contabilidade.
