Abstract
This PhD dissertation examines the societal implications of newly emerged, two-sided ridesourcing platforms that connect travellers with self-employed drivers. It uses an agent-based approach to model the dynamic interaction between ridesourcing supply and demand, exploring how market outcomes are influenced by travel demand, labour market conditions, and platform strategies. The findings inform policymakers on how to enhance the welfare effects of these markets for travellers, drivers, and the broader public.
