为了研究耐用品的点对点租赁市场是否会改善福利，我们开发了一个新的动态模型，在这个模型中，具有不同利用率的用户也可以在二级市场进行交易。我们使用美国汽车行业数据和Getaround（一个大型点对点汽车租赁市场）的交易级数据来校准我们的模型。反事实分析表明，随着市场准入的增长，资产所有权发生了重大转变。二手商品价格下降，替代率上升，而消费者剩余的增幅在0.8%到6.6%之间。对于收入低于中位数的消费者来说，消费结构的变化和盈余的增加要明显得多。
To investigate whether peer-to-peer rental markets for durable goods are welfare-improving, we develop a new dynamic model of such markets in which users with heterogeneous utilization rates may also trade in secondary markets. We calibrate our model with US automobile industry data and transaction-level data from Getaround, a large peer-to-peer car rental marketplace. Counterfactual analyses illustrate significant shifts away from asset ownership as marketplace access grows. Used-good prices fall and replacement rates rise, while gains in consumer surplus range from 0.8% to 6.6%. The changes in consumption mix and the surplus increases are significantly more pronounced for below-median income consumers.
