Abstract

The rise of the sharing economy is affecting many aspects such as consumption pattern of goods and services, existing business fields and labor markets. The business has an influence on competition and public policies in the field and related industries as well. In particular, a platform's network management, called as platform curation, is emphasized as a private regulation or self-regulation. It plays a key role in the sharing business, and suggests new and challenging perspectives, opportunities and policy issues. This paper focuses on curation, and suggests its major implications for research and public policy.
