The Rise of the Sharing Economy
Team #1 Deenadhayalan.P
abstract• In this study Airbnb, a sharing economy pioneer offering short-term
accommodation. • Combining data from Airbnb and the Texas hotel industry, estimate
the impact of Airbnb’s entry into the Texas market on hotel room revenue, and study the market response of hotels
• To identify Airbnb’s causal impact on hotel room revenue, we use a difference-in-differences empirical strategy that exploits the significant spatiotemporal variation in the patterns of Airbnb adoption across city-level markets
• this work provides empirical evidence that the sharing economy is making inroads by successfully competing with, and acquiring market share from, incumbent firms.
