Abstract
The sharing economy (SE) is a contentious topic not only because of its sustainability implications, but also because of its contested conceptual boundaries. Peer-to-peer (P2P) resale platforms, while having conceptual proximity with the consensus understanding of the SE, are often considered not a part of the SE. Drawing from the theory of property rights (Haase and Kleinaltenkamp, 2011), we posit that P2P resale platforms constitute good sharing in the SE, supplementing service sharing which was the predominant area of research in the SE. The current research paper, therefore, sets out to explore the state-of-the-art of the literature on P2P resale platforms and highlight opportunities for future research. A systematic literature review was conducted. Our findings show that while research on good sharing is scarce, the area offers a fertile ground for SE scholars to experiment with innovative ideas, exploratory methods, rich contextual studies, and novel theory development. We present a framework for understanding good sharing in the SE, and discuss how the research paper will be developed further.
