Property Rights of Sharing Economy

Abstract

The first eight chapters of the book grasp the core of the sharing economy from the theoretical perspectives, connotation, essence, and philosophy. That is, it improves the efficiency of resource use, reduces the cost of resource use, and achieves an efficient allocation of resources within the entire society. However, under the traditional private ownership system, the ownership of resources often fails to achieve the rational use of resources within the whole society. This involves the issue of the property rights nature of resources under the sharing economy environment. In fact, the sharing economy development process is also a process of a property rights revolution. This chapter starts from the ownership property of the sharing economy and discusses how to achieve the transition from the traditional privatization system to the public system under the sharing economy.
