Abstract: | The discussion paper analyzes the fundamentals, definitions, conceptual frameworks and the empirical evidence of shared economy and collaborative consumption. In addition, and through a sample for 14,050 citizens of the 28 countries of the European Union in 2016, the profiles of users (1,792) and providers (496) of collaborative platforms are characterized, as well as their predictors are investigated. This empirical research obtains two main results. In the first place, it is confirmed that the motivations for the use of collaborative platforms are economic and useful (price and convenience), while the motivations for the provision are ideological (non-monetary exchanges). Second, we identify a whole set of socio-demographic factors that also predict collaborative consumption. The younger people; mens; Who live in households with more relatives; With more years of training; In professional contexts of entrepreneurship, managerial responsibilities or high qualification; Living in large cities or metropolitan areas; And who are citizens of continental European countries, are the most likely to use collaborative platforms. Finally, the paper discusses the main conceptual implications (shared exchange theory) and empirical (causes and effects) of shared economy and collaborative consumption. |
