平台能否弥合共享经济中的治理鸿沟，如果可以，如何弥合？通过一个深入的定性案例研究，我们分析了共享经济中的一个部门--众筹通过元组织的行为产生新的监管和自我监管的过程。我们专注于法国主要的部门元组织--法国金融促进参与组织(FPF-众筹法国)。我们表明，这个多利益相关者的元组织不仅通过集体的法律、伦理和功利性工作弥合了治理差距，而且还领先于并塑造了新的市场。我们提出了一种混合治理方法，结合了(A)软的多机构监管，(B)通过“部分元组织”过程的自我监管，以及(C)民间社会的直接参与。我们通过强调平台的局部元组织的特征以及确定成功的联合监管和该行业的自我监管的条件来扩展文献。
Can platforms close the governance gap in the sharing economy, and if so, how? Through an in-depth qualitative case study, we analyze the process by which new regulation and self-regulation emerge in one sector of the sharing economy, crowdfunding, through the actions of a meta-organization. We focus on the principal French sectoral meta-organization, Financement Participatif France (FPF-Crowdfunding France). We show that this multi-stakeholder meta-organization not only closed the governance gap through collective legal, ethical, and utilitarian work but also preceded and shaped the new market. We present a hybrid governance approach combining (a) soft multi-agency regulation, (b) self-regulation through a process of "partial meta-organizing", and (c) direct civil society participation. We expand the literature by highlighting features of platforms' partial meta-organizing and by identifying conditions for successful joint regulation and self-regulation of the sector.
