At the beginning of the journey, I could not imagine when and how it would end. However, while I am writing the acknowledgments, I also realize how time flies for the past four years and a few months. It has been an enriching expe- rience both in terms of building research and analytical skills and in terms of the connections with amazing people, without whom the thesis could not be accomplished. I would first like to thank my supervisor, Professor Eric Brousseau. Thank you for believing in the potential of the thesis topic that I spontaneously proposed. Thank you for being always supportive while leaving me the autonomy to follow my interests and to have the courage to fight against difficulties. Thank you for creating a great research team and for all the resources that you provide with the Governance and Regulation Chair and the Governance Analytics project. I would also like to thank the jury members, Professor Guadalupe, Professor Gagnepain, Pro- fessor Jourdan, Professor Perez and Professor Souche-Le Corvec, for your time to read and to comment on my work.

  • Online Platforms for Exchanging and Sharing Goods
    CASE STUDY ONLINE PLATFORMS FOR EXCHANGING AND SHARING GOODS by Anders Fremstad 2/2/2015 A project of EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Americans own huge and underutilized stocks of consumer goods, including furniture, appliances, tools, toys, vehicles, and lodging. Websites like Craigslist, Couchsurfing, and NeighborGoods have lowered the transaction costs associated with acquiring secondhand goods and sharing underused goods, which may help us take advantage of this excess capacity. Indeed, advocates of the so-called sharing economy argue that technology can facilitate peer-to-peer transactions that enable us to save money, build community, and reduce environmental burdens. This case study evaluates the economic, social, and environmental effects of three online platforms. Craigslist provides an online market for local secondhand goods such as vehicles, furniture, appliances, and electronics. Couchsurfing matches travelers with hosts around the world who welcome guests into their homes. NeighborGoods helps people borrow and lend household goods free of charge. Together these case studies provide an overview of the role of online platforms as future economy initiatives. The economic benefits to these three platforms are significant, and likely to grow over time. Americans posted hundreds of millions of secondhand goods for sale on Craigslist in 2014, increasing access to affordable used goods. Couchsurfing has helped provide its members with millions of nights of free lodging, substantially reducing the cost of travel. While NeighborGoods has not achieved the scale of Craigslist or Couchsurfing, online platforms for sharing household goods could save Americans significant sums of money, especially if they can facilitate widespread ride-sharing and car-sharing. Online platforms may particularly improve the livelihoods of poor Americans.

  • The Top 7 International Ride-Sharing Apps
    Locations Resource Artciles Beyond Uber: The Top 7 International Ride-Sharing Apps Need a Lyft? In an Uber rush? Chances are good that if you’re residing in the United States, both these questions have taken on double meanings in recent years. From the most urbanized to isolated societies, applications such as Lyft and Uber have brought a new form of transportation, known as ridesharing, to the masses. As part of the greater sharing economy, or through the uberisation effect, these applications take advantage of our telecommunication networks and smart devices to make our lives easier. In short, they do this by ultimately removing the larger companies from the equation and facilitating mutually benecial peer-to-peer interactions. Ride-sharing is a great example for this, as anyone who has used an associated application can attest. When using Uber, for instance, a customer must only broadcast their need for a ride to a specic destination, and any registered nearby driver may accept. Uber, of course, takes its cut from the fares, but otherwise, the transaction is solely between the consenting driver and customer. For many in the world, Uber has become more than a household name for ride-sharing applications, becoming more akin to the industry as a whole, rather than a specic brand. This is in the same regard as to how Kleenex has superseded tissue paper, despite other brands available on the market. That said, there are actually several competitors to Uber outside of the United States. If you’re traveling abroad, having some knowledge of them, as well as their existence, might save you when you need it most, particularly if your destination is not supported by the company you’re familiar with.

  • Carpooling for Long-Distance Transport in Italy: First Insights on Users, Usage and Geography
    XVIII RIUNIONE SCIENTIFICA DELLA SOCIETÀ ITALIANA DI ECONOMIA DEI TRASPORTI E DELLA LOGISTICA, GENOVA, 4-5 LUGLIO 2016. Carpooling for long-distance transport in Italy: first insights on users, usage and geography Alberto Bertolin1, Paolo Beria1∗, Gabriele Filippini2 1Dipartimento di Architettura e Studi Urbani, Politecnico di Milano, Via Bonardi 3, 20133 Milano, Italia 2Studio META, Via Magenta 15, 20090 Monza, Italia Extended abstract Innovative mobility practices (carsharing, carpooling, electric mobility, etc.) show an increasing penetration in European markets. Although still marginal in terms of total mobility, these new modes are becoming important niches in specific contexts. At the same time, they provide useful information in terms of mobility practices. The paper analyse a sample of data collected from the well-known carpooling web-platform BlaBlaCar, in Italy. The aim of the work is twofold. On the one side we want to analyse and better understand the dynamics of diffusion of the carpooling at the national scale. Secondly, we want to verify if and how, in perspective, such data could be used to obtain information on the least known segment of mobility, namely the occasional long-distance mobility. Data has been collected from the BlaBlaCar online portal during July 2015, recording all publicly accessible trips from a sample of five Italian cities: Milano, Roma, Napoli, Ancona e Vicenza. In total, the observations include 10.838 trips, offered by 6.557 drivers. The information collected include date and time of the trip, itinerary of the trip, price, sex and age of the driver. All trips collected has been cleaned, localised in a GIS-database and passed to an Access database to be elaborated.

  • The Sharing Economy: Disrupting the Business and Legal Landscape
    THE SHARING ECONOMY: DISRUPTING THE BUSINESS AND LEGAL LANDSCAPE Panel 402 NAPABA Annual Conference Saturday, November 5, 2016 9:15 a.m. 1. Program Description Tech companies are revolutionizing the economy by creating marketplaces that connect individuals who “share” their services with consumers who want those services. This “sharing economy” is changing the way Americans rent housing (Airbnb), commute (Lyft, Uber), and contract for personal services (Thumbtack, Taskrabbit). For every billion-dollar unicorn, there are hundreds more startups hoping to become the “next big thing,” and APAs play a prominent role in this tech boom. As sharing economy companies disrupt traditional businesses, however, they face increasing regulatory and litigation challenges. Should on-demand workers be classified as independent contractors or employees? Should older regulations (e.g., rental laws, taxi ordinances) be applied to new technologies? What consumer and privacy protections can users expect with individuals offering their own services? Join us for a lively panel discussion with in-house counsel and law firm attorneys from the tech sector. 2. Panelists Albert Giang Shareholder, Caldwell Leslie & Proctor, PC Albert Giang is a Shareholder at the litigation boutique Caldwell Leslie & Proctor. His practice focuses on technology companies and startups, from advising clients on cutting-edge regulatory issues to defending them in class actions and complex commercial disputes. He is the rare litigator with in-house counsel experience: he has served two secondments with the in-house legal department at Lyft, the groundbreaking peer-to-peer ridesharing company, where he advised on a broad range of regulatory, compliance, and litigation issues. Albert also specializes in appellate litigation, having represented clients in numerous cases in the United States Supreme Court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and California appellate courts.
