People increasingly share thei r home\, car\, clothing or tools on Internet platforms such as Airbnb\, Re layrides\, BlaBlaCar and Peerby. Though sharing practices are certainly no t new\, the phenomenon is showing an explosive growth concomitant with the advent of Internet platforms (Botsman and Rogers 2010). Sharing potentiall y has a lot to offer to society: it promotes the efficient utilization of physical assets\, it reduces their environmental impact and facilitates ne w social contacts. Along with its rapid growth\, however\, the sharing eco nomy has also come under fire. This criticism focuses in particular on unf air competition between platforms and regular companies\, overrated enviro nmental gains\, the tendency towards monopoly and the erosion of workers&# 8217\; rights (Schor 2014). In sum\, sharing practices yield promises and problems\, which only recently have become subject of scientific research. Clearly\, there is a urgent need for a thorough and nuanced understanding of the sharing economy. This special issue will tackle the many sides of t he sharing economy\, looking at economic\, social and environmental effect s and discussing possible policies and regulations.\n\nTo define the scope of the special issue\, we include studies on all four platforms as disting uished by Frenken et al. (2015)\, including sharing-economy platforms in a strict sense where consumers grant each other temporary access to their un der-utilised goods (such as Airbnb or Relayrides)\, 2nd hands platforms wh ere consumers sell or give away their goods to other consumers (such as E- bay an freecycling groups)\, on-demand service platforms where consumers d eliver personal services to each other (such as UberPop or Taskrabbit)\, a nd finally business-to-consumer “\;product-service”\; models wh ere companies rent out their goods to consumers rather than selling them ( such as Avis). We welcome contributions using any methodology and from all disciplines\, including economics\, sociology\, political science\, geogra phy\, history\, anthropology\, geography\, management studies\, innovation studies\, and science & technology studies.\nAmong the questions are:\n\n1 . What theoretical perspectives help to explain the nature and growth of t he sharing economy? \n2. What are the economic\, social and environmental impacts of the sharing economy? \n3. What are the business models in the s haring economy and why do some succeed and others do not? \n4. What are th e governance modes of platforms and why do some succeed and other do not? \n5. How do sharing platforms disrupt existing industries? \n6. How can pe er-to-peer sharing in consumption be applied in a business-to-business con text? \n7. Why is sharing more popular in some industries and in some loca lities rather than in others? \n8. What are the institutional responses ac ross industries and across localities? \n9. What are motivations and chara cteristics of sharing economy participants? \n10. What do sharing practice s mean for the new product design? \n11. Is there a new role for consumers in the sharing economy? \n12. What is the relationship between the sharing economy and sustainability transitions? \n13. Are we observing fundamental ly new ways of innovation in the sharing economy (open innovation\, grassr oots innovation\, institutional entrepreneurship)? \n14. Does the sharing economy prepare the way for new forms of capitalism\, or rather for "hyper -capitalism"? \n15. How does sharing affect inequality in society?\n \n\nS ubmissions\nAll those who attended the 1st International Workshop on the S haring Economy in Utrecht (June 2015) or who will attend the 2nd edition i n Paris (January 2016) are invited to submit their paper\, as well as any other scholar who wishes to contribute.
