摘要

共享物品的所有权,如汽车或钻机,由一个人在其生命周期的一小部分时间内使用,可以减轻对环境的影响。但消费者准备好放弃对未充分利用的商品的个人产权了吗?我们提出了一个简单的模型来研究有利于消费者联合而不是单独购买私人商品的条件。通过探索模型参数空间,包括异质消费者的特征和偏好、私人商品的特征和偏好以及提供相同服务的公共服务的特征和偏好,我们确定了共享所有权的出现。它主要发生在利基条件下:在需求高于平均水平的低收入消费者中,特别是当共享商品相对较小且可在小联盟中购买时,协调挑战较低。共享所有权减少了一个经济体中商品的净数量和与生产有关的环境影响,即使在消费者不关心可持续性的情况下也是如此。降低共享购买相对价格的政策加速了向更可持续的共享消费的过渡。然而,我们没有发现共享所有权在减少获取商品的不平等方面有任何影响。

Coalitions for sustainable consumption: Understanding the emergence of shared ownership in an Agent-Based Model
Sharing ownership of goods, like cars or drills, used by a single owner for a small fraction of their life-time, can mitigate environmental impacts. But are consumers ready to give up individual property rights on underutilised goods? We propose a simple model to study conditions favouring consumers purchasing a private good in coalition rather than individually. By exploring the model parameter space, encompassing characteristics and preferences of heterogeneous consumers, those of the private good and of a public service that offers the same service of the good, we identify the emergence of shared ownership. It predominantly occurs under niche conditions: among lower-income consumers with above-average demand, especially when the shared good is relatively small and purchasable in small coalitions — which have lower coordination challenges. Shared ownership reduces the net number of goods in an economy and production-related environmental impact, even in the absence of consumers’ sustainability concerns. Policies reducing the relative price of the shared purchase accelerate the transition to a more sustainable shared consumption. However, we do not find any impact of shared ownership in reducing inequality in accessing goods.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization is devoted to theoretical and empirical research concerning economic decision, organization and behavior and to economic change in all its aspects. Its specific purposes are to foster an improved understanding of how human cognitive, computational and informational characteristics influence the working of economic organizations and market economies and how an economy structural features lead to various types of micro and macro behavior, to changing patterns of development and to institutional evolution. Research with these purposes that explore the interrelations of economics with other disciplines such as biology, psychology, law, anthropology, sociology and mathematics is particularly welcome.
