The current allocation system for parking spots based on the rule of capture coupled with low parking fees creates a tragedy of the commons scenario. The misallocation of parking has consequences for commerce, for access to public spaces, and for pollution and congestion. Municipalities have not widely adopted the solution that economists propose to solve this scarcity problem: increase the price. Politics aside, the reluctance of municipalities to do so may be explained by the unique nature of public property as reflected in well-rooted legal and societal constraints. This unique nature helps explain, for example, municipalities’ ban on software applications (apps) allowing occupants of curbside parking to “sell” their spots to would-be occupants in Boston or San Francisco. While the ban may be justified, the unique nature of public property is not incompatible with some well-designed, efficiency-oriented policies, as this Article will put forward.

  • Holding a Square Peg and Choosing Between Two Round Holes: the Challenge Workers’ Compensation Law Faces with Uber and the Sharing Economy
    HOLDING A SQUARE PEG AND CHOOSING BETWEEN TWO ROUND HOLES: THE CHALLENGE WORKERS’ COMPENSATION LAW FACES WITH UBER AND THE SHARING ECONOMY “As should now be clear, the jury in this case will be handed a square peg and asked to choose between two round holes.” – District Judge Vince Chhabria, describing the difficulty a jury will face in discerning whether drivers for the service Lyft are employees or independent contractors.1 I. INTRODUCTION What happens when a worker is neither an employee nor an independent contractor? This question has long plagued even the country’s highest court,2 and is now exacerbated by the burgeoning sharing economy.3 The sharing economy includes companies such as Uber, Lyft, Instacart, TaskRabbit, Postmates, and Caviar, all of which pair workers (which they classify as independent contractors) and pair them with consumers anxious to take advantage of their affordable and convenient services.4 In the event these individuals get hurt on the job, the 1 Cotter v. Lyft, Inc., 60 F. Supp. 3d 1067, 1081 (N.D. Cal. 2015). 2 See NLRB v. Hearst Publications, Inc., 322 U.S. 111 (1944) (grappling with the question of whether a union of newsboys were employees or independent contractors under the National Labor Relations Act). 3 The “sharing economy” is also referred to as the “peer-to-peer marketplace” and “online gig economy” and this essay will use these terms interchangeably. Automobile transportation applications (apps) like Uber and Lyft are often referred to as “driver-on-demand” services. Both Uber and Lyft are essentially taxi services, but the drivers are private individuals using their own vehicles who are paired with customers via a smartphone app.

For many, the hope of attaining a good job with an adequate social ’s M safety net is giving way to the reality of piece-rate work in part-time, hours-long and be-your-own-boss short- In the on-demand economy, online and app- based companies connect workers with short-term jobs that involve driving, cleaning, term “gigs.” delivering food, doing odd jobs or performing tasks online, often for very little money, with no job security and no labor protections at all. The on-demand sector is a tiny part of the economy overall, but it has grown ten-fold in the last three years.i With more people engaging Uber is the biggest and most influential of the on-demand businesses, capitalized at in work for on-demand $62.5 billion. Initially, it set the standard for the industry by labeling its drivers companies such as Uber essentially claiming that each of its some 160,000 drivers (driving), Care.com (child is in business for himself or herself pushing many of the costs of doing business onto “independent contractors”— care and home care), their shoulders and depriving them of baseline labor protections such as workers — TaskRabbit (home services) compensation, Social Security contributions, minimum wage and anti-discrimination ’ and Postmates (delivery), protections.

  • LAW & ETHICS in the BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT 9E
    LAW & ETHICS IN THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT 9e Instructor Manual CHAPTER 2 THE NEW ECONOMY: REVISIONING WORK MAIN CONCEPTS The Gig Economy Employees and Independent Contractors Labor Standards and Workers Rights Changing Business Models and Market Disruption Consumer Protections in the New Economy This chapter provides opportunities to introduce a wide array of important business law conception and controversies. Both torts and contracts can be discussed through the cases and essays in the chapter. Business’s potential liability for the action and inactions of their employees is another topic covered by this chapter. The rights of workers, particularly in the current economic climate, is another important issue raised in this chapter. Consider introducing the gig economy by asking students if they have ever been paid on a per-job basis. If the students do not volunteer it, ask if any of them have every babysat or done yard work for a neighbor in exchange for payment. These common experiences are a good starting point for the gig economy. Consider using this hypothetical: Hannah and Roger Johnson hired a babysitter named Anna through a website, babysittermatch.com. The site allows the potential sitters to post their bios, references and photos on the site, but only after the site confirms their qualifications and calls their references. Parents can search the site for sitters in their area for a small fee. Unfortunately, while Anna was babysitting the Johnson’s three-year-old daughter, Cecelia, an accident occurred. Anna left a pair of sharp scissors on the floor and, while Anna was in another room, Cecelia picked up the scissors and cut herself in the leg with them.

  • Marketing in the Sharing Economy Article Reuse Guidelines: Sagepub.Com/Journals-Permissions DOI: 10.1177/0022242919861929 Journals.Sagepub.Com/Home/Jmx Giana M
    Article Journal of Marketing 2019, Vol. 83(5) 5-27 ª American Marketing Association 2019 Marketing in the Sharing Economy Article reuse guidelines: sagepub.com/journals-permissions DOI: 10.1177/0022242919861929 journals.sagepub.com/home/jmx Giana M. Eckhardt, Mark B. Houston, Baojun Jiang, Cait Lamberton, Aric Rindfleisch, and Georgios Zervas Abstract The last decade has seen the emergence of the sharing economy as well as the rise of a diverse array of research on this topic both inside and outside the marketing discipline. However, the sharing economy’s implications for marketing thought and practice remain unclear. This article defines the sharing economy as a technologically enabled socioeconomic system with five key characteristics (i.e., temporary access, transfer of economic value, platform mediation, expanded consumer role, and crowd- sourced supply). It also examines the sharing economy’s impact on marketing’s traditional beliefs and practices in terms of how it challenges three key foundations of marketing: institutions (e.g., consumers, firms and channels, regulators), processes (e.g., innovation, branding, customer experience, value appropriation), and value creation (e.g., value for consumers, value for firms, value for society) and offers future research directions designed to push the boundaries of marketing thought. The article concludes with a set of forward-looking guideposts that highlight the implications of the sharing economy’s paradoxes, matura- tion, and technological development for marketing research. Collectively, this article aims to help marketing scholars not only keep pace with the sharing economy but also shape its future direction. Keywords access-based consumption, competition, consumer behavior, digital platform, marketing and society, marketing strategy, prosu- mer, regulation, sharing economy At its core, marketing enables exchange between buyers and growing trend from the lens of our traditional market economy.
