Paper: Pooled, Not Scrambled! Harmonizing Digital Mobility Platforms

Abstract: Building on the theory of platform economics, this article proposes a typology of business models specific to digital mobility platforms. For each type of model, it identifies the value proposition as well as the main socio-economic benefits they create. Clearly defining the value proposition is crucial, as it directly determines the forms of public intervention suited to these models. Furthermore, this research examines how these business models disrupt traditional regulation, historically focused on managing supply-side economies of scale. The article also explores the limitations of these models, highlighting the risks of market failures associated with strategies aimed at maximizing network effects.
