07.01.2024 - New publication (with Anouk Schippers): Sharing with Minimal Regulation? Evidence from Neighborhood Book Exchange. European Economic Review
We present unique quantitative data on the book exchange that happens via little free libraries, a low-profile but surprisingly popular and wide-spread way for readers to share and exchange books. We answer the question how much use is made of these bookcases by tracking the number and quality of books that people bring in and take out, where we use both second-hand price and reader ratings as indicators of a book’s value/quality. We find active exchange and surprisingly little free riding: users return 9 book for every 10 books they take out. Strong social norms and preferences for cooperation among owners and users can explain the observed high and stable level of reciprocal exchange.

Grant for Seamless Mobility (29.09.2020): SNN and the province Fryslân have awarded funding to the project Seamless Mobility directed by TanQyou Nederland B.V. From FEB, researchers Gert-Jan Romensen, Adriaan Soetevent and Tammo Bijmolt are part of the project team. Seamless Mobility aims to increase the efficiency and environmental friendliness of travel by establishing a platform that allows users to easily switch between transport modes. The researchers from FEB will examine which role information, financial and non-financial motives play in (changing) people’s mobility choices.
