Abstract: Recent innovations in technology have made possible the creation of a new market called, collaborative consumption. The collaborative consumption market is based on a mode of consumption that differs from the traditional way that people consume products in two significant ways: it engenders personal relationships between individuals who share a product; and it is environmentally sustainable. Through it’s mechanism of transforming goods into services and redistributing used goods to a network of new users, collaborative consumption affectively minimizes the production of new goods, thereby minimizing the environmental impact of large-scale consumption. This paper analyzes this new market from the perspective of New Institutional Economics, specifically utilizing theories of Transaction Cost, Social Capital, and Dilemma of Collective Action.
