Airbnb and the rent gap: Paper published in Environment and Planning A

We’re happy to announce that our paper, “Airbnb and the rent gap: Gentrification through the sharing economy” has now been published in Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space. The paper argues that short-term rentals have facilitated a form of gentrification that does not require redevelopment, by introducing a major new revenue flow into urban land markets. We use spatial analysis to precisely measure the impacts of Airbnb on NYC’s land and housing markets, and discuss the implications.
