The spatial and quality dimensions of Airbnb markets

Augusto Voltes-Dortala et al.

Summary: Airbnb has expanded to numerous tourist destinations worldwide, with individual hosts having pricing power and making competition assessment crucial. A case study in Bristol, United Kingdom, reveals that quality moderates the spatial decay in price effects of competition in local Airbnb markets, with competition having a negative impact on prices within certain radii that decrease with product differentiation.
