摘要

本文旨在从经济和环境的角度探讨哪些因素会影响企业选择订阅一个旨在支持产业共生（IS）关系创建的在线平台，以及该平台的有效性。分析的平台通过追求经济目标来寻找最佳的共生伙伴，并提出公平分担IS的额外成本，使订阅者能够以订阅费为代价避免搜索和谈判成本。开发了一个基于代理的模型，其中公司的订阅选择取决于交易成本的潜在节省、未来预期和过去的经验。主要结果表明：(1)通过增强对平台广泛使用的信任，可以以适度的费用吸引用户；(2)信任保证了对垃圾需求和供给波动的对冲；(3)用户数量对系统经济绩效的影响大于对系统环境绩效的影响。

What drives the success of online platforms for industrial symbiosis? An agent-based model

This paper aims to investigate which factors affect companies’ choice of subscription to an online platform designed to support the creation of industrial symbiosis (IS) relationships, and the effectiveness of such platform from the economic and environmental perspectives. The analyzed platform finds optimal symbiotic partners by pursuing an economic objective and proposes the fair sharing of the additional costs of IS, enabling subscribers to avoid search and negotiation costs at the expense of a subscription fee. An agent-based model is developed where the companies’ choice of subscription is dependent on potential savings in transaction costs, future expectations, and past experience. The main results highlight that (1) it is possible to attract subscribers with moderate fees by enhancing trust in the platform’s usage widespread; (2) trust ensures hedging from waste demand and supply fluctuations; (3) the number of subscribers has a greater impact on the economic rather than on the environmental performance of the system.

期刊介绍： Ecological Economics is concerned with extending and integrating the understanding of the interfaces and interplay between "nature''s household" (ecosystems) and "humanity''s household" (the economy). Ecological economics is an interdisciplinary field defined by a set of concrete problems or challenges related to governing economic activity in a way that promotes human well-being, sustainability, and justice. The journal thus emphasizes critical work that draws on and integrates elements of ecological science, economics, and the analysis of values, behaviors, cultural practices, institutional structures, and societal dynamics. The journal is transdisciplinary in spirit and methodologically open, drawing on the insights offered by a variety of intellectual traditions, and appealing to a diverse readership. Specific research areas covered include: valuation of natural resources, sustainable agriculture and development, ecologically integrated technology, integrated ecologic-economic modelling at scales from local to regional to global, implications of thermodynamics for economics and ecology, renewable resource management and conservation, critical assessments of the basic assumptions underlying current economic and ecological paradigms and the implications of alternative assumptions, economic and ecological consequences of genetically engineered organisms, and gene pool inventory and management, alternative principles for valuing natural wealth, integrating natural resources and environmental services into national income and wealth accounts, methods of implementing efficient environmental policies, case studies of economic-ecologic conflict or harmony, etc. New issues in this area are rapidly emerging and will find a ready forum in Ecological Economics.
