abstract = {PurposeThis paper aims to clarify the complex path of negative externalities in the sharing economy and proposes corresponding policy recommendations.Design/methodology/approachThis paper aims to establish an analytical framework for the negative externalities of the sharing economy and to extract the main factors that produce negative externalities, and then, through qualitative comparative analysis method find out how these factors interact to form a negative externality.FindingsNegative externalities in the sharing economy come from the joint effect of the sharing degree of the product or service and constraint mechanism, and the current main modes of the shared economy increase the possibility of negative externalities.Originality/valueThe paper proposes a complex path resulting from negative externalities in the shared economy.}
