The sharing economy can increase overall load on the environment through higher consumption.
“However, these assumptions have been challenged as the sharing economy can increase overall load on the environment through higher consumption, such as added flights due to lower cost accommodation and more traffic due to convenient and lower cost ride sharing (e.g.Font Vivanco et al., 2015;Frenken and Schor, 2017).”
From Platforms in the peer-to-peer sharing economy (2019) · cites this paper as Font Vivanco et al., 2015
Section 3.6 (page not available) reports that European car-sharing schemes increased greenhouse-gas emissions because lower transport costs freed income that was spent on more environmentally intensive consumption. This supports the general rebound-effect claim, but the paper does not establish the sentence’s examples of added flights from cheaper accommodation or increased traffic from ride sharing.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
