Efficient P2P Knowledge Sharing: Performances and Incentives
Abstract
In this paper, we address the performance issue of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) knowledge sharing community based on two indices: the knowledge variety and the knowledge transfer. For each performance index, we examine Nash equilibrium and social equilibrium of knowledge contribution. While under-provision of knowledge contribution is a common phenomenon, the equilibrium results drawn from each criterion are significantly dissimilar. Results reveal the condition for the social optimality to sustain. Thus, in order to enhance performance of knowledge sharing, incentive mechanisms are presented to realizing an efficient knowledge sharing community.
