Sharing economy a ekonomia społeczna i ekonomia behawioralna

Abstract

The aim of the work is to demonstrate that sharing economy is a trend referring to social and behavioral economy, and test methods used in it are: the critical analysis of literature, historical method and comparative method. Based on the presented analysis the author concludes that sharing economy is a trend (direction, model etc.) in economy functioning on a commercial basis, associated with shared ownership of the object. Although it is not incorporated in the definition of "pure" social economy and its classification, yet it is combined with social economy through the principles of functioning of market mechanisms, distribution (i.e. the principle of reception and transmission of orders) and reciprocity. In case of behavioral economy, the theories, which can be referred to sharing economy are: the limited rationality of economic selection (bounded rationality) by Herbert Alexander Simon (1955), the behavioral theory of the life cycle by Hersh Shefrin and Richard Thaler (1988) and the concept of many cognitive processes involved in thinking processes (so-called theory of perspective or rebound effect) by Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman (1979).
