“…Prior literature on online car-hailing mainly focuses on comparing it to traditional taxis (Donald and Anderson, 2014;Rayle et al, 2016); exploring its regulations (Witt, Suzor and Wikström, 2016;Zha, Yin and Yang, 2016) and governance (Li, Taeihagh and Jong, 2018); and understanding consumer behaviors from a user perspective (e.g., the unified route choice model (Xu et al, 2017) and the behavioral choice model (Dias et al, 2017)).…”

“…In addition to focusing on technological aspects, a number of studies refer to the peer-to-peer type of transaction/networking in the sharing economy (e.g., [17,32]); leading to the term 'peer economy' [33,34]. Although the striking growth and popularity of the sharing economy came to the fore due to its enabling individuals to perform economic activities in their peer networks and to make 'purposeful' social bonds, peers are not the only actors in sharing systems; business-to-peer (B2P), peer-to-business (P2B), and business-to-business (B2B) models can also feature.…”

Human society is increasingly influencing the planet and its environmental systems. The existing environmental problems indicate that current production and consumption patterns are not sustainable. Despite the remarkable opportunities brought about by Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to improve the resource efficiency of production and consumption processes, it seems that the overall trend is still not heading towards sustainability. By promoting the utilization of available and underused resources, the ICT-enabled sharing economy has transformed, and even in some cases disrupted, the prevailing patterns of production and consumption, raising questions about opportunities and risks of shared consumption modes for sustainability. The present article attempts to conceptualize the sustainability implications of today’s sharing economy. We begin with presenting a definition for the digital sharing economy that embraces the common features of its various forms. Based on our proposed definition, we discuss the theoretical and practical implications of the digital sharing economy as a use case of ICT. The analysis is deepened by applying the life-cycle/enabling/structural impacts model of ICT effects to this use case. As a result, we show the various positive and negative potentials of digital sharing for sustainability at different system levels. While it is too early to project well-founded scenarios to describe the sustainability status of digital sharing, the implications discussed in our work may help outlining future research and policies in this area.

“…Thus, risk governance in sharing economy requires the intervention from governments to make up the defects of self-regulation by making public regulations and policies [23]. Consequently, governments need to explore, study and re-make policies and regulations that are suitable for the shared transport instead of using current regulations for traditional taxi industries [17,19] Based on existing research, the policy designed for coping with the risks of shared transport should focus on the following aspects: first, the rating system of platforms should be censored to ensure the fairness, transparency and accuracy as well as reduce systematic errors, enhance creditability and promote the degree of trust [47]; second, regulators need to balance between protecting relevant traditional industries and supporting sharing economy to obtain institutional legitimacy [23]; third, clear clauses and safety standards should be set targeting firms of sharing economy in order to protect customers [19,48,49].…”

Online car-hailing services (such as DiDi and Uber) are one of the typical sharing economy forms of transportation service in the digital era. Related public policies are expected to reduce the risk of online car-hailing and ensure the social sustainable development. However, the empirical evidence regarding the effect of relevant policy implementations is still scarce. This study takes an online car-hailing service in China as a research object to understand and evaluate the effect of implementing related policies. The risk related to an online car-hailing service is classified into three dimensions in this study, namely, institutional, economic and safety perspectives. The empirical results indicate that public policies have significant impacts on reducing conflicts and risk of shared transportation in China, especially the institutional risk. Furthermore, the effects of different policy factors differ for different risk types. Several insights of developing policies and regulations related to sustainable shared transportation in the digitalization era are also provided. The interaction between government authorities, private firms and citizens should be attached to great importance in policy design, which will consequently enhance the sustainable development in the transportation sector under sharing economy.
