Abstract
Today, the sharing economy is a widely discussed topic where people ask themselves what it is, how it works, and what it brings to the society. It occurs in many social spheres; this research paper focuses on the sharing economy in the field of transport. The sharing economy is a phenomenon of the 21st century; the fact that it is a very current topic is also evidenced by the amount of related research published in the databases. This paper aims to apply the BlandAltman model, commonly used in medicine, to the sharing economy. Its aim is to point out the functionality and possibilities of using non-traditional approaches in various areas of study. The introduction describes the sharing economy and the latest publications dealing with it in the field of transport, with a focus on Uber. The methodology section describes the Bland-Altman model and the authors who discuss it. In the results section, we offer the results of the application of the Bland-Altman model on the data obtained from 110 Uber rides in Prague. In addition to this method, regression analysis was also applied. The discussion and conclusion section summarizes the results and mentions essential publications in the field.

This research paper aims to apply the Bland-Altman model, commonly used in medicine, to the sharing economy
The sharing economy is a phenomenon of the 21st century, its current prominence evidenced by the amount of related literature published in the databases, e.g., by Geißinger et al (2020) who see the sharing economy as a discontinuous innovation that creates increased abundance throughout society
The existing literature on sharing economics has dealt mainly with Uber and Airbnb. (Diamond, 2020) Because little is known about the areas where the sharing economy is growing beyond transport and accommodation, they have focused on identifying the economic sectors in which it is expected to achieve central importance
Summary
This research paper aims to apply the Bland-Altman model, commonly used in medicine, to the sharing economy. Its aim is to point out the functionality and possibilities of using nontraditional approaches in various areas of study. The concept of the sharing economy was here long before it has taken the form we know today. People borrowed property, rented homes, or offered their knowledge to others before the 21st boom of sharing economy. We perceive the sharing economy today primarily as determined by the technologies that facilitate individual transactions between its users. The internet and smartphones, along with peer-to-peer transactions, have enabled the emergence of online platforms.
