摘要

近年来,点对点共享日益流行。许多数字平台允许个人兼职使用他人的物品。这些平台明确提到它们的绿色证书,因为这种共享举措的环境效益往往被认为是理所当然的。然而,最近的实证文献却显示了相反的证据。我们提出了一个理论框架来分析点对点共享对经济和环境的影响。我们提出了一个风格化的模型,在这个模型中,垄断者提供一种适合在共享平台上出租的产品。有趣的是,我们发现这种平台的存在通常对垄断者有利,尤其是在长期内,因为垄断者可以最优化地预测其决策对共享市场的影响。但这种情况对消费者却毫无益处,尤其是对那些租用而非购买商品的消费者而言。此外,共享平台的存在会提高使用率,(在某些可能的条件下)提高生产水平,缩短产品寿命。这三个方面的综合作用导致共享对环境的影响更加严重,这为上述实证研究提供了理论依据。

Strategic pricing, lifespan choices and environmental implications of peer-to-peer sharing

Peer-to-peer sharing has become increasingly popular in recent years. Many digital platforms exist that allow individuals to use others’ belongings part-time. These platforms explicitly mention their green credentials, as the environmental benefits of such sharing initiatives are often taken for granted. However, there is a recent empirical literature showing evidence of the contrary. We propose a theoretical framework to analyze the economic and environmental implications of peer-to-peer sharing. We present a stylized model where a monopolist supplies a product that is suitable for rent on a sharing platform. Interestingly, we find that the existence of such a platform is typically beneficial for the monopolist, especially in the long run, when she can optimally anticipate the effects of her decisions on the sharing market. Such a scenario may not be beneficial for consumers, especially for those who rent the good rather than buy it. Moreover, the existence of the sharing platform induces higher use and (under some likely conditions) larger production levels and shorter product lifespans. The combination of these three aspects contributes to a worse environmental impact with sharing, which provides a theoretical rationale for the aforementioned empirical studies.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Environmental Economics and Management publishes theoretical and empirical papers devoted to specific natural resources and environmental issues. For consideration, papers should (1) contain a substantial element embodying the linkage between economic systems and environmental and natural resources systems or (2) be of substantial importance in understanding the management and/or social control of the economy in its relations with the natural environment. Although the general orientation of the journal is toward economics, interdisciplinary papers by researchers in other fields of interest to resource and environmental economists will be welcomed.
