Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to incorporate an emerging successful business model, i.e., sharing economy, into energy markets, thus digging out the potential merits and applications in multi-energy sectors. With the core idea “access over ownership”, sharing economy enables the collaborative consumption of idle resources through advanced information and communications technology. One critical challenge is to identify different market participants’ occupation while accordingly designing pricing mechanisms. This book begins with an overview about the recent development of sharing economy in energy fields, and summarizes two energy market-related issues that sharing economy can hopefully address. One is how to quantify a marginal generator’s contribution and thereby elicit truthful bidding under information asymmetry condition. The other is how to distinguish renewable and distributed energy resources’ contribution and thus incentivize efficient aggregation considering increasing scale and uncertainty. Then sharing economy mechanisms are proposed and designed from a game theory perspective. On this basis, the following chapters thoroughly investigate the specific problems in spot markets, multi-area markets, renewable energy aggregation and energy systems integration. Additionally, the benefits brought by sharing economy are evaluated in terms of regional market bidding and transmission expansion deferral. Finally, the information and communications technologies related to sharing economy are modeled and analyzed. Hopefully, this book can greatly benefit the readers who are interested in energy economics and engineering.

Download or read book Perspectives on the Sharing Economy written by Indre Maurer and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharing instead of owning is one of the major trends in modern (business) life. By changing how people consume, the rise of the sharing economy has the potential to redefine the role of owners, consumers and producers, change their mode of transaction, create innovative business models, disrupt existing industries, and challenge political and regulative institutions. In addition to these practical implications, the sharing economy phenomenon represents a novel playground for theoretical advancement, attracting a multitude of research and researchers from different disciplines. While this can potentially open up new avenues for practice and theory to stimulate each other, they do not seem to go hand-in-hand at the moment. This volume brings together research from a wide variety of theoretical backgrounds and disciplines to encourage academic discourse on the sharing economy phenomenon. It comprises contributions that are grounded in different theoretical perspectives, including business history, economics, strategic management, organization studies, information systems, political science, legal studies, linguistics, and semantics. While all contributions focus on the sharing economy phenomenon, they examine the subject from different disciplinary angles. Together, they provide a coherent and comprehensive overview of research on the sharing economy.

It takes an in-depth look at controversial labour policies, such as using labour as self-employed contractors or using regulatory grey areas to expand in markets. It is highly multidisciplinary, establishing links between economics, finance, marketing and consumer behaviour. This contribution on the sharing economy will enable researchers and graduate and doctoral students to expand and improve their understanding of this topic and identify new research problems in all of these areas. The book will also appeal to policy makers, regional and local government decision makers, and those interested in labour markets transformation.
Download or read book Reengineering the Sharing Economy written by Babak Heydari and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current sharing economy suffers from system-wide deficiencies even as it produces distinctive benefits and advantages for some participants. The first generation of sharing markets has left us to question: Will there be any workers in the sharing economy? Can we know enough about these technologies to regulate them? Is there any way to avoid the monopolization of assets, information, and wealth? Using convergent, transdisciplinary perspectives, this volume examines the challenge of reengineering a sharing economy that is more equitable, democratic, sustainable, and just. The volume enhances the reader's capacity for integrating applicable findings and theories in business, law and social science into ethical engineering design and practice. At the same time, the book helps explain how technological innovations in the sharing economy create value for different stakeholders and how they impact society at large. Reengineering the Sharing Economy is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Download or read book Sharing Negawatts written by Heather Payne and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the sharing economy has mostly focused on tangible assets or facilitating labor transactions, the potential to incorporate sharing--in the form of changes to behavior that create societal good--requires a different construct for electricity: one focused on an intangible asset, specifically data. With data access and sharing, it becomes possible not only to value negawatts--the decision not to use electricity at a given time--but to provide an incentive for load reduction, load shifting, and peak shaving, all three of which provide societal benefits by aiding reliability, decreasing capital requirements, and preventing greenhouse gas emissions.While sharing data can itself have value and create a market that enables behavior change, the energy sharing economy around demand response is two-fold: the data are shared, which enables the market to value behavior changes, and, when that market indicates sufficient value, the demand response action is shared. By not using energy at that point in time--by removing electric load--sharing occurs, leading to system-wide and overall societal benefits.However, none of this will occur without clear ownership of--and, therefore, the ability to monetize--electricity usage data. This article will discuss the sharing economy and how those concepts could be applied to electricity, survey how different states have approached the ownership of electricity data, classify and explore the ownership of electricity usage data through the lens of traditional property law concepts, and discuss how those various solutions affect the ability to value demand response behaviors. It will then discuss what changes are necessary to facilitate the energy sharing economy.
Download or read book The Sharing Economy in Europe written by Vida Česnuitytė and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-21 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book considers the development of the sharing and collaborative economy with a European focus, mapping across economic sectors, and country-specific case studies. It looks at the roles the sharing economy plays in sharing and redistribution of goods and services across the population in order to maximise their functionality, monetary exchange, and other aspects important to societies. It also looks at the place of the sharing economy among various policies and how the contexts of public policies, legislation, digital platforms, and other infrastructure interrelate with the development and function of the sharing economy. The book will help in understanding the future (sharing) economy models as well as to contribute in solving questions of better access to resources and sustainable innovation in the context of degrowth and growing inequalities within and between societies. It will also provide a useful source for solutions to the big challenges of our times such as climate change, the loss of biodiversity, and recently the coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19). This book will be of interest to academics and students in economics and business, organisational studies, sociology, media and communication and computer science.

Where relevant, it examines adjacent literatures from P2P electricity markets, electric vehicles, smart homes and smart cities, and related ‘internet of energy’ developments. Finally, it provides insights into mitigating the likely social consequences of our integrated low-carbon energy future. Evaluates the connections between the concept of sustainability and the social impacts of the smart grids Analyzes emerging trends in smart grids connected with trends towards the sharing economy Investigates environmental degradation awareness and environmental stewardship goals associated with smart grids Explores how to mitigate social challenges with effective smart grid power market design Integrates energy stewardship and social acceptance literatures into the discussion of the smart grid
Download or read book The Future Is Shared written by Olubayo Adekanmbi and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-26 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future is Shared is a research-based book that challenges the traditional economics of scarcity through its theory of connected abundance. The book evidences how shared ownership through crowd-capitalism can drive entrepreneurship and socio-economic development. It also redefines consumer connectedness, and highlights how the infinitesimal power of connected capacity can shift the market advantage.The practical successes of the likes of Uber, AirBnB, and the multitude of other similar shared economy businesses whose values are growing faster than the traditional mainstream businesses are profiled in this context. The book also considers how incumbent companies are responding to the obvious risk that the shared economy presents to their future survival. The book contributes to knowledge and theory about how the sharing economy will redefine business practices, while also introducing new concepts such as "connected abundance", "miniaturisation of need", "mutualisation of assets", "disownership generation", "infinitesimal power of the crowd", "mass abundance theorem", "integrated 3M/3S/3P model of a shared future", and many others.
Download or read book The Sharing Economy Its Pitfalls and Promises written by Michael C. Munger and published by Do Sustainability. This book was released on 2021-08-12 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transactions have always taken place. For hundreds of years that ‘place’ was a market or, more recently, a shopping mall. But in the past two decades these physical locations have increasingly been replaced by their virtual counterparts – online platforms. Here, author Michael C. Munger demonstrates how these platforms act as matchmakers or middlemen, a role traders have adopted since the very first exchanges thousands of years ago. The difference today is that the matchmakers often play no direct part in buying or selling anything – they just help buyers and sellers find each other. Their major contribution has been to reduce the costs of organising and completing purchases, rentals or exchanges. The Sharing Economy: Its Pitfalls and Promises contends that the key role of online platforms is to create reductions in transaction costs and it highlights the importance of three ‘Ts’ - triangulation, transfer and trust – in bringing down those costs.

Download or read book Energy written by Paul Ballonoff and published by Cato Institute. This book was released on 1997-11-01 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Government regulates the energy industry far more intensely than it does other sectors of the economy. Economist Paul Ballonoff argues that the case for special regulation of energy is based on myths that serve only to fatten special-interest groups at the expense of energy consumers. This book dismantles the arguments for energy regulation, accuses energy regulation of causing—not remedying—the various diseases it attempts to cure, and makes the case for fully returning control of the energy sector of the economy to market forces. The best energy policy is no policy at all.
