Abstract

This chapter presents the results of a qualitative study on the sharing economy themes such as: peer-to-peer accommodation, transportation, item-sharing and crowdfunding. The study is based on in-depth interviews conducted with 63 participants from two of Romania’s four largest university cities. The results depict country’s specifics and indicate the main reasons which motivate or impede Romanians’ participation as consumers and providers in each of the four areas. Finding a considerable level of reluctance to item-sharing, positive attitudes towards crowdfunding and an increased demand in accommodation and transportation domains (coupled with scarce internal offers), the chapter indicates the most promising domains of the sharing economy development in Romania, and highlights contextual factors related to the post-communist specificity. Offering valuable insights for researchers and entrepreneurs, this section has the merit of introducing the first report regarding the perspectives on the sharing economy development in Romania, and it is, to date, one of the few academic works offering on-topic insights from Eastern-Europe.
