Algorithmic Pricing and Market Conduct: Evidence from Airbnb Smart Pricing
2026Uses a sharp regression discontinuity around Airbnb's September 2023 platform-wide rollout of redesigned pricing tools across eight major U.S. cities. Price-level point estimates are positive in all eight cities (0.5–1.9 percent), but inference with only eight city clusters cannot rule out zero, bounding the effect between −0.5 and +1.9 percent. Heterogeneity tracks local regulatory stringency.
