This paper aims to establish a comprehensive and easily operationalizable conceptual framework for explorations of the collaborative economy (CE). While the phenomenon has attracted increasing attention among businesses, customers, politicians/regulators, and researchers, a widely accepted conceptualization still does not exist. In the present study the CE accommodates for-profit and/or not-for-profit exchange of products that are: a) temporarily provided to others (i.e. shared) by their owners when the assets are under-utilized; b) shared occasionally i.e. up to a certain extent; c) shared by amateurs/ non-professionals when having a professional license is mandatory; and d) shared via on-line platforms. If all the requirements are (simultaneously) fulfilled, shared products embrace both goods and services and sharing providers embrace both individuals (e.g., P2P) and organizations (e.g., B2P). The proposed framework is discussed in the context of the CE key "surrounding" concepts – the on-demand economy, gig economy, second-hand & circular economy, and rental economy.

Information Treatment

A web-based contingent behavior analysis was developed to quantify the effect of both negative and positive information treatments and post harvest processes on demand for oysters. Results from a panel model indicate that consumers of raw and cooked oysters behave differently after news of an oyster-related human mortality. While cooked oyster consumers take precautionary measures against risk, raw oyster consumers exhibit optimistic bias and increase their consumption level. Further, by varying the source of a counter-information treatment, we find that source credibility impacts behavior. Oyster consumers, and in particular, raw oyster consumers, are most responsive to information provided by a not-for-profit, nongovernmental organization. Finally, post harvest processing of oysters has no impact on demand.

Institutional and government markets constitute not-for-profit market with the main objective of general welfare of people. Such markets are characterized by low budgets and captive patrons. Companies serving institutional markets establish and maintain separate departments to meet the specific requirements. Governments are the major and bulk buyers of goods and services in all countries. Government organizations, appointed by governments, have specified procedures which suppliers should follow. Suppliers experience a number of issues while dealing with government organizations. Suppliers require following formal procedures. The procedures may be time-consuming and suppliers may face bureaucracy. Governments adopt digital measures and adopt online buying to streamline the processes, to shorten the time required, and to overcome a number of hurdles. Companies dealing with institutional and government markets should be aware about all these aspects to succeed in the long run and also contribute to the growth of institutional and government markets.

Significance Measures of AIC per capita at purchasing power parities (PPS) show goods and services consumed by households and individuals, an indication of their material welfare. Some of the EU-11 were by this measure on a par with southern Europe, but five have AIC levels well below the EU average. Impacts Governments will continue to measure their success both by GDP growth but also by reducing poverty and inequality. AIC measures have significant potential as a tool for fine-tuning regional and cohesion policies. More detailed data could clarify which parts of government and not-for-profit spending affect households most. Current geographical hierarchies within the EU may be shifting.

Library is an information resource centre that provides intangible services. Library is also known as a not-for-profit-organization that provides places for reading. Libraries in Indonesia have not been professionally administered. But now library institutions at all levels, including those at the academic institutions, begin to revamp, continue the scientific tradition, develop the nation's civilization to save and store book collection in various subjects and languages with the help if information and communication technologies (ICT). The study explores the potentials that can be collaborated between library services and its information strength and the networked application such go-jek. The author identified the correlation between go-jek application model and academic library services. The study showed there was mutual need for both sides that could be collaborated.

Development Ngos

Nongovernmental organizations are one group of players who are active in the efforts of international development and increasing the welfare of poor people in poor countries. Nongovernmental organizations are largely staffed by altruistic employees and volunteers working towards ideological, rather than financial, ends. Their founders are often intense, creative individuals who sometimes come up with a new product to deliver or a better way to deliver existing goods and services. They are funded by donors, many of them poor or anonymous. Yet these attributes should not be unfamiliar to economists. Development NGOs, like domestic nonprofits, can be understood in the framework of not-for-profit contracting. It is easy to conjure up a glowing vision of how the efforts of NGOs could focus on problem solving without getting bogged down in corruption or bureaucracy. But the strengths of the NGO model have some corresponding weaknesses—in agenda setting, decision making, and resource allocation. We highlight three factors in explaining the increased presence of NGOs in the last few decades: a trend towards more outsourcing of government services; new ventures by would-be not-for-profit “entrepreneurs”; and the increasing professionalization of existing NGOs.

Water-related energy accounts for around one-quarter of California's energy use. Most of the influence is within cities. This project aimed to identify research and policy needs associated with managing energy related to urban water. A workshop was convened with diverse representation from water and energy sectors in federal (US), state (California) and municipal governments, research and regulatory agencies, universities, utilities, not-for profit and private sectors. The workshop established a vision of future cities, including elements of success, research needs and barriers. A subsequent on-line survey was used to estimate the potential, effort and ‘potential-to-effort’ ratio of each suggested element. First suggested steps in the roadmap include: development of educational programmes, combined standards, guidelines, funding and planning for water and energy efficiency, improved understanding and management of factors motivating consumers, and improved methods to quantify and track targets of ‘water-related energy and related greenhouse gas emissions’. The ‘roadmap’ could help streamline future effort and sequencing action. The authors note and reflect on the importance of representation at such a workshop, and an effort is made to understand sources of variability in viewpoints. The semi-quantitative method used could have relevance to wider resource management issues and complex problem resolution.

The objective of the article is to analyze the number of employees aggregated in the mass media and content sector in Russia for the period from 2010 to 2019. Mass media and content sector is one of the sectors which is developed very dynamically at the present time. Since rural people do not possess high-skill professional skills and competencies at the present time, the IT sector is excluded from the analysis. With the help of prior research of competencies and skills of rural people we also made the forecast of the most appropriate sector to produce services on- line. Then thanks to prior research about goods and services on demand in Russian e-commerce, we elaborated the list of services which rural people can produce and sell remotely with the help of Internet. This primary list recap services which almost anu individual can produce. But to be capitalized they need to be branded and advertised appropriately.
