    The dissertation mainly focuses on the spatial imbalance of resources observed in the sharing economy. It consists of two main chapters, with the first chapter focusing on designing policies to solve this imbalance and the second chapter focusing on evaluating the performance of easy-to-implement policies on solving this imbalance of resources. In the third chapter, we discuss possible extensions and other applications for the methodology we provided. In the first chapter, we consider the problem of managing resources in shared micro-mobility systems (bike-sharing and scooter-sharing). An important task in managing such systems is periodic repositioning/recharging/sourcing units to avoid stockouts or excess inventory at nodes with unbalanced flows. We consider a discrete-time model: each period begins with an initial inventory at each node in the network, and then customers (demand) materialize at the nodes. Each customer picks up a unit at the origin node and drops it off at a randomly sampled destination node with an origin-specific probability distribution. We model the above network inventory management problem as an infinite horizon discrete-time discounted Markov Decision Process and prove the asymptotic optimality of a novel mean-field approximation to the original MDP as the number of stations becomes large. To compute an approximately optimal policy for the mean-field dynamics, we provide an algorithm with a running time that is logarithmic in the desired optimality gap. Lastly, we compare the performance of our mean-field-based policy to state-of-the-art heuristics via numerical experiments, including experiments using Austin scooter-sharing data.The second chapter considers the joint optimization of rebalancing/sourcing inventory on a graph. We focus on the lost-sales setting with customer-induced relocations. Through a coupling analysis, we provide worst-case performance bounds, with tight instances, for policies commonly used in practice. We provide further insights into the performance of these policies and discuss cost regimes where they are effective.

    Creating the right incentives for a áexible workforce lies at the heart of the gig economy. For most companies, a key question is how to best connect a limited number of independent workers in their platforms with service-seeking consumers through the right pricing and matching mechanisms. We focus on ride-hailing where drivers have signiÖcant discretion over where and when to work across di§erent locations. Building a spatial model, we study how a platform can create incentives for independent drivers via prices and commissions, and how such policies a§ect driversísearch behavior across a network of locations. Contrary to common perception, we Önd that the áexibility of the commissions, and not the áexibility of prices, plays a dominant role in resolving local demand and supply mismatch. This is because location based price hikes at the bottlenecks negatively distort the local demand and generally do a poor job in incentivizing drivers towards such locations. Adjusting the commissions, on the other hand, does not interfere with the local demand; creates better incentives for the drivers, and therefore is more suitable to mitigate the e§ects of bottlenecks. Simulations based on actual ride patterns from New York City and Los Angeles conÖrm our insights.

    This article investigates the effect of short-term rental platforms on the housing market, using the explosive growth of Airbnb experienced in Berlin as a case study. To identify a causal effect, I exploit the structure of Airbnb in Berlin and combine a hedonic housing model with a Triple Difference-in-Difference approach. The analysis of six hundred thousand apartments shows that rapid growth of professional Airbnb listings has lead to a three percent increase in asking rents in city districts with high Airbnb concentration.

    For the past decade, the sharing economy has not only grown but also expanded to cover a wide variety of different activities across the globe. Despite a lot of research, there is still no agreement on how to define and measure the sharing economy, and no consensus on whether the sharing economy is a part of or an alternative to a regular capitalist economy. This paper contributes by presenting a framework for classification of firms and services in three dimensions (decentralized supply, ad hoc matchmaking and microtransactions), thus effectively creating a definition of the sharing economy. Using clickstream data collected in 2016-2017, we show that the sharing economy consists of many services, but the distribution is highly skewed: Six percent of the services account for 90 percent of the traffic. Using cross-country regressions for 114 countries, we show that while the most important determinant of sharing economy usage is internet access, usage is significantly higher in countries with fewer regulation of capital, labor, and business. We conclude that the sharing enables new types of entrepreneurial efforts within the digitized capitalist economy.
