Abstract
Proliferation of tourist rentals presents two opposite mechanisms. On the one hand, it reverses the impact on the increase in price of long-term rentals and home purchases. On the other, in the areas where they are located there is an increase in problems with noise, deterioration and insecurity, causing a reduction in prices. A study carried out by researchers from the Department of Applied Economics, focused on the Airbnb platform between 2007 and 2017, assesses the final effect of vacation rentals on the housing market. The results suggest that this type of activity causes an increase in rent and purchase prices in the areas of the city where these accommodations are installed.
