By François Meunier on ParisTech Review
Derrière les multiples affaires Uber qui défraient la chronique dans nombre de pays, on assiste à l'émergence d’une économie collaborative qui fascine, et parfois inquiète, d'autant plus que ses contours sont encore flous. Du point de vue de l'économiste, elle se laisse décrire comme une extension du domaine du marché. Des échanges qui relevaient jusqu'ici de l'économie informelle passent dans le domaine de l'économie formelle. Bonne nouvelle ? Oui. Mais cette transition rapide et incomplète pose de multiples problèmes.
L'émergence d’une économie collaborative se laisse décrire comme une extension du domaine du marché. Celle-ci a ses revers, désormais bien identifiés. La concurrence est plus forte, mais est-ce une concurrence loyale ? Et les places de marché qui organisent cette concurrence ne se retrouvent-elles pas en situation de monopole ?
Behind the proliferation of Uber stories hitting the headlines in many countries, the emergence of a sharing economy fascinates, and sometimes worries us, especially because of its blurry boundaries. From the perspective of an economist, it can be described as a market expansion. Exchanges that previously fell within the scope of informal economy are now an integral part of formal economy. It that good news? Yes it is. But this rapid and incomplete transition also raises many problems.
From the perspective of an economist, the sharing economy can be described as a market expansion.

And don't the marketplaces that organize this competition find themselves in a situation of monopoly?
