Abstract
In this paper, we study the price determinants of Airbnb rentals, for the case of New York City, by developing a new dataset, which combines attributes of the property and of the related service, with other information available as open data. This dataset is employed within a spatial quantile semiparametric regression model, able to handle the intrinsic heterogeneity of house prices. The results confirm that property and service attributes play a significant role in determining rental prices, while some variables exert a different impact on prices in magnitude and sign, depending on the quantile considered.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
