共享经济研究动态与述评

Trends and Review of Research on Sharing Economy

共享经济是当前热点话题,涉及众多领域,但相关研究还处于起步阶段,并未有定论。通过对文献的系统梳理,阐述了共享经济的理论发展、主流定义、分类方式及影响效应。共享经济具有的主要特征包括基于互联网的信息互联、资源的使用权优于所有权、闲置资源的高效利用;主要驱动力是经济不景气与环境不绿色、技术大发展与成本大缩减、消费意识改变、信任机制建立。现有文献处于整体解析阶段,应该更多地细化分析和实证论证,加快对共享经济的社会影响研究。

Sharing economy is a hot topic in current society, involving many fields. But the related research is still in its infancy without a unified conclusion. Through a systematic review of the literature, the theoretical development, mainstream definitions, classification and impact effects of sharing economy are summarized in this paper. The main characteristics of sharing economy include Internet-based information interconnection, the right to use resources being superior to ownership, and the efficient use of idle resources. The main driving forces are the economic recession and environmental unfriendliness, the technological development and cost reduction, the change of consumers’ consciousness, and the establishment of trust mechanism. As the existing literature basically focuses on the overall analysis, more detailed analysis and empirical demonstration should be carried out to accelerate the research on the social impact of sharing economy.
