内容简介：

The sharing economy, enabled by digital platforms which connectproviders and consumers for peer-to-peer exchanges, has experienced rapidgrowth in recent years. Although researchers have attempted to explore thesocietal or business impact of the sharing economy market, little is knownabout how individual providers operate their business. In this study, we areinterested in the relationship between experience and sales performance ofproviders. Leveraging a rich and proprietary dataset from a large sharingeconomy platform which facilitates the exchanges of home-cooked meals in China,and employing multiple identification strategies and estimation methods, wefind that a provider’s sales order first increases with her experience but thendecreases instead. However, her sales revenue keeps increasing with experience.Our further investigation shows that this is because experienced providers areseeking higher order value via order selection, which allows them to earn morerevenue by selling less. Lastly, we also find that an experienced provider willadopt strategies of improving product quality, offering more promotion,increasing product variety, and differentiating products from competitors.Through these strategies, a provider could attract more orders and then choosethose with higher value. Our study serves as the first attempt to empiricallyunderstand providers’ market behavior in the sharing economy, and offersimportant practical implications.
