The Sharing Economy in Norway: Emerging Trends and Debates

Halvorsen, Trond and Lutz, Christoph and Barstad, Johan (2021): The Sharing Economy in Norway: Emerging Trends and Debates. Published in:

Abstract

2019 was a year when the sharing economy and collaborative consumption was starting to make a significant impact on Norwegian society and way of life. With international hospitality and mobility services leading the way, several home-grown digital platforms also saw noticeable growth in users and income. New legislation was put in place to support an orderly transition to an economy that makes better use of idle resources. While the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 has dealt a major temporary setback to this development, this chapter documents how the Norwegian economy was experiencing rapid change that may soon return.
