UnfAirbnb! The Effect of Short-Term Letting on Electoral Behaviour
Over the last few years, short-term lets or home sharing have radically changed the dynamics of mass tourism and triggered disruptive consequences for civic, social and economic life. While lucrative for some, it has also impacted the character of different urban areas, creating significant changes to the local economy and often triggering citizens’ discontent. While previous works have focused on the economic and urban effects of short-term lett…
The effect of Covid-19 on the peer-to-peer rental market
Based on fine-grained data on short-term accommodations for the city of Barcelona, we review the uneven impact of the pandemic on the short-term market, differentiating the supply by type of accommodation: single room versus entire flat/house, and type of host: professionalized versus non-professionalized. Using a fixed effects approach at property level, we estimate an average decrease in prices of 11.3% in entire flat/house and 4.7% in single r…
The importance of administrative data in the evaluation of the incidence of social housing allowance programmes
The aim of this work is to assess the rental assistance programme that was implemented by the Catalan regional government in the 2010s using administrative data provided by the Catalonia Housing Agency to analyse whether it achieved its aims to enhance the design of similar programmes. Linear probability models to explain the probability of receiving the grant were estimated and some significant variables were identified: age; rent price; experti…
How on Earth Did Spanish Banking Sell the Housing Stock
The accumulation of properties by Spanish banks during the crisis of the first decade of the 21st century has definitely changed the housing market. An optimal house price valuation is useful to determine the bank’s actual financial situation. Furthermore, properties valued according to the market can be sold in a shorter span of time and at a better price. Using a sample of 24,781 properties and a simulation exercise, we aim to identify the deci…
A comparison of banks and real estate intermediaries as house sellers
The foreclosure crisis associated with the banking crisis transformed banks in the hardest-hit countries into real estate brokers. The main novelty of this paper is to study banks as sellers of their own foreclosed properties and compare banks’ sales outcomes with those of traditional agents in the real estate market. We compare the list price, selling price, time on market and price discount of traditional real estate companies (TRECs) and bank-…
Can information regarding previous sales stabilize the house price index? Evidence from a field experiment in Spain
Tourism indicators and airports' technical efficiency
Does Juan Carlos or Nelson Obtain a Larger Price Cut in the Spanish Housing Market
Using a unique dataset and a nonparametric decomposition, we determine whether immigrants with native names, immigrants with foreign names, and natives have different outcomes in Spain’s housing market. Results suggest that immigrants with native names achieve greater discounts relative to immigrants with non-Spanish names. As a robustness check, we prove that this is not due to the country of birth. We observe that most of the difference in pric…
The determinants of foreclosures: Evidence from the Spanish case
Which Are the Real Determinants of Tenure? A Comparative Analysis of Different Models of the Tenure Choice of a House
Tenure choice is closely bound to other vital individual decisions of great importance not only for the individual but also for the country in which he or she resides. The present paper includes a comparison of the different approaches that have been used in the economic literature in the analysis of the individual’s housing tenure choice. According to their dependent variable, the different models can be divided into: those whose dependent varia…
Length of Stay for Triathlon Participants in the Challenge Maresme-Barcelona: A Survival Approach
As in the past, local authorities continue to hold sporting events in their territory as a promotion and positioning of their brand's international destination. The economic impact of sport events depends not only on the number of participants but also, and among other things, on the length of stay at destination. The aim of this study is to analyze the factors determining the length of stay of participants at the venue for the event, Internation…
Local Public Expenditures and Housing Prices
This paper estimates a hedonic price model which makes it possible to determine how the price of a unit varies with the set of attributes it possesses, in the Spanish housing market. Concretely, and by means of capitalisation, hedonic price models can be used as an instrument to capture how local public expenditures influence housing prices and, by extension, how homeowners can indirectly receive benefit from local public investment. Using indivi…
Price and Income Elasticities of Demand for Housing Characteristics in the City of Barcelona
Garcia J. and Raya J. M. Price and income elasticities of demand for housing characteristics in the city of Barcelona, Regional Studies. This paper estimates price and income elasticities of demand for housing characteristics using the information of properties appraised in the city of Barcelona (1998–2001). It employs a two-stage approach, estimating hedonic price equations for different districts in order to estimate subsequently the correspond…
