Abstract
We investigate the impact of Airbnb on incumbent hotels' revenue in Taiwan. Combining listing information scraped from Airbnb website with a panel of hotel revenues, we propose a novel set of instrumental variables to identify the casual impact. Relative to OLS estimate, IV-2SLS estimates indicate larger negative effects from Airbnb. Furthermore, smaller and lower quality hotels are heavily affected by Airbnb listings.
