“…With regard to the sharing economy, scholars have conducted a number of studies on its definition (Anderson & Huffman, 2017;Felson & Spaeth, 1978) and motivating factors (Belk, 2014;Leismann et al, 2013), while the research on its operation and development focused on sharing economy's most developed sectors (such as sharing transportation and sharing housing), and examined their development state (Katzev, 2003;Tussyadiah & Pesonen, 2016) and operation mechanism (Tussyadiah & Park, 2018). In terms of pricing strategy, current research primarily chooses the area with two-sided market characteristics and creates a model analyzing around two core market features, including price non-neutrality (Rochet & Tirole, 2006) and cross-group externalities (Armstrong, 2006).…”

Turning to the theoretical methods of two‐sided markets, we analyze the operation mode selection of the sharing economy. Considering the interactions of the operating enterprise, resource suppliers (basic service providers), value‐added service providers, and consumers, we show that the selection of one‐sided mode, two‐sided mode, or multi‐sided mode depends on enterprise service quality, pricing power and cross‐group externalities of sharing economy service, utility evaluation and access cost of the value‐added service. Further, we give a theoretical explanation of the operation mode evolution in China's online car‐hailing market and put forward two specific multi‐sided platform development paths.

In the following paper, the author elaborates on the challenges that today’s competition law has to face with regard to the more and more common use of algorithmic technics by the entrepreneurs, particularly in the field of pricing process. After providing a brief definition of the most fundamental terms, a structural analysis is performed of anticompetitive practices that are facilitated by algorithms. Instances investigated by the author have been assigned into three groups, distinguished according to relations between the entities taking part in a particular practice. The described models are of various complexity and pose different threats to the state of competition. The author made an attempt to draw the line between the cases which fall under the scope of currently enforceable competition law provisions and those to which competition agencies do not apply appropriate tools. In the next part of the paper, the author presents a case study of the so called lex Uber – an Act of the Polish Parliament intended to regulate the passenger transport market in Poland in the light of the rise of modern transportation services, e.g. provided by Uber or Bolt. In the author’s opinion, the enacted provisions may result in inconsistencies with competition law. In the last part of the paper the author suggests possible legal solutions that should safeguard competition on the markets where using algorithmic solutions is still more and more common.
