Resumen

A lo largo de la última década, el crecimiento de las plataformas de intercambio entre iguales, descritas como economía colaborativa, representó un de los fenónenos económicos y socio-culturales más importantes. Los defensores de la economía colaborativa resaltan su potencial para convertirse en la panacea de los grandes problemas mundiales, mientras que las perspectivas críticas apuntan a investigaciones que contradicen estas ideas. El rápido crecimiento de este tipo de actividad ha puesto a la administración pública bajo la presión de tener que desarrollar medidas de regulación adecuadas. Sin embargo, el desarrollo de regulación en este sentido adolece gravemente de la falta de datos y de técnicas adecuadas para medir el impacto. Los intentos por medir este impacto están por lo general concentrads en producir indicadores económicos, a expensas de la medición del impacto social y medioambiental. Esta investigación trata de contribuir a esta cuestión desde una perspectiva holística que estudia el triple impacto (económico, social y medioambiental) de este objeto de estudio. Recurriendo a un estudio Delphi esta investigación ha desarrollado 47 indicadores de impacto en estas tres aéreas de medición.
