Instituições e economia compartilhada: pontos de interseção

Abstract

This paper aims to identify points of intersection between the theoretical contributions of selected institutional authors and the recent discussions on the sharing economy. This analytical effort is justified by the significant increase in the supply of shared products and services, which raises questions about the factors responsible for the success of these activities. As a methodology, we followed a qualitative approach with bibliographic research. The main conclusion is that the principles governing the management of common resources, presented by Elinor Ostrom, associated with theoretical formulations on social networks, by Mark Granovetter, can be applied to evaluate the performance of some activities included in this sharing economy logic. The points of intersection refer to factors such as trust and reputation, which are explored in the dynamics of social networks, nowadays, virtual.
