I’m posting the comment below. It first appeared here: http://urbanizm.net/4890627/der-verband-fur-institutionelle-immobilieninvestoren-und-die-faktenbasierte-wohnungspolitik/ Der […]

I’ve been involved in a research project on Airbnb in Vienna in the last months. Together with my colleagues Roman Seidl and Leonhard Plank (both TU Wien), we have analyzed the listings of the online platform in the city. The particular focus has been on the number and types of listings, the geographical distribution, as well as revenues generated by the hosts. An important part was also to estimate the impact of Airbnb on the local housing market.
