Abstract
Following New York City’s recent regulations requiring hosts of short-term accommodations to obtain licenses, most hosts either exited the market or switched to monthly rentals. This raises the question of the implicit value of a short-term rental license—a topic that has not received much attention in the literature. To address this gap, we estimated several fixed-effect negative-binomial regressions using data on New York’s extant Airbnb listings from February 2023 to March 2024. We found that short-term licensed listings earn, on average, between 5.2 and 7.2 thousand dollars more per year than unlicensed ones.
期刊介绍:
Tourism Economics, published quarterly, covers the business aspects of tourism in the wider context. It takes account of constraints on development, such as social and community interests and the sustainable use of tourism and recreation resources, and inputs into the production process. The definition of tourism used includes tourist trips taken for all purposes, embracing both stay and day visitors. Articles address the components of the tourism product (accommodation; restaurants; merchandizing; attractions; transport; entertainment; tourist activities); and the economic organization of tourism at micro and macro levels (market structure; role of public/private sectors; community interests; strategic planning; marketing; finance; economic development).
