Abstract: The special issue on Sharing Economy Enabled Digital Platforms for Development focuses on an investigation of an emerging form of collaborative consumption, known as sharing economy. This special issue aims to address several issues regarding important and novel research questions, analytical approaches, and to understand how the sharing economy brings about economic, social, and environmental development. After articulating the motivations that led us to launch this special issue call, we first outline the sharing economy ecosystem and its impact on sustainable development. Secondly, we propose a framework on the sharing economy development to connect all aspects of sharing economy ecosystem. Finally, we summarize the eight papers in this collection. These eight papers mainly focus on the sharing economy issues in developing regions. The accepted papers investigate the factors influencing SEDPs for development, factors influencing individuals’ intention to engage in the sharing economy, and the related trust, privacy, and regulatory issues.
