Abstract

Platform curation plays a key role in the sharing economy, and suggests challenging perspectives and opportunities in policy-making. This paper focuses on the curation by sharing platforms, and explains its incentives and social welfare effects, using a simple micro-economic theory, and taking into consideration some features observed in the sharing economy. And future policy and research agenda are summarized.
