| Abstract: |
This paper aims to analyze the conditions in which the expansion of short-term
rental platforms affects rents with a focus on the main destinations of French
Riviera. Following a literature review, a simplified model capturing the
characteristics of the French Riviera destinations predicts in the short run a
positive effect on rents when there is a high pressure from short-term
rentals. We validate these predictions using data from AirDNA which pertains
to short-term rentals offered on the Airbnb platform, along with data on
long-term rentals in the cities of Nice and Cannes. |
