Insuring the Sharing Economy

Overview

The label “sharing economy” generally refers to markets in which individuals rent assets and obtain services directly from one another, coordinated through mobile and Web-based technology. Just as eBay allows individuals to act as retail merchants, sharing websites such as Uber and Airbnb enable individuals to act as taxi drivers and hotel operators or provide other services. This course focuses on the insurable exposures, deficiencies in standard insurance policies, and endorsements available to properly address these exposures.
