  1. Short-Term Rental Platforms Contrasted Effects on Neighborhoods: The Case of French Riviera Urban Destinations By Sophie Pommet; Sylvie Rochhia; Dominique Torre

    Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the conditions in which the expansion of short-term rental platforms affects rents with a focus on the main destinations of French Riviera. Following a literature review, a simplified model capturing the characteristics of the French Riviera destinations predicts in the short run a positive effect on rents when there is a high pressure from short-term rentals. We validate these predictions using data from AirDNA which pertains to short-term rentals offered on the Airbnb platform, along with data on long-term rentals in the cities of Nice and Cannes.
