Накратко на български

Краткосрочните наеми чрез платформи като Airbnb променят пазара на жилища в Лисабон и Барселона, като привличат големи инвестиции. Разбирането на този процес помага за създаването на по-справедливи правила за регулиране на сектора.

Short-term rentals and housing financialisation. Evidence and policy innovation

The economic, social and spatial impacts generated by digital platforms offering short-term rentals such as Airbnb have triggered increasingly polarised social and political debates across Europe. Existing research suggests evidence that short-term rentals advertised on Airbnb and other portals have become professionalised and that both individual and corporate investors have started to channel substantial surplus capital into this relatively novel market segment with high yields. However, there is a lack of empirical and conceptual studies examining the Airbnb-led restructuring of residential real estate investment. Based on two in-depth studies exploring the links between short-term rentals and housing financialisation in the cities of Lisbon and Barcelona, the POLIS project fills this gap and provides comparative insights about the Airbnb-led restructuring of local housing markets. Drawing on the principles of evidence-based policy making, the research also advance policy innovation for regulating this emerging sector. To achieve these aims, POLIS was organised around three research objectives (ROs). It explored the links between the professionalisation of short-term rentals (RO1) and housing financialisation (RO2) and, in doing so, provided innovative understandings of the Airbnb-led restructuring of local housing markets. The project used empirical data gathered as the foundation for policy recommendations (RO3). The project's improved understanding of how the professionalization in the provision of short-term rentals channels investment into the housing market formed the basis for providing socially just recommendations for inclusive policy approaches towards short-term rentals.

Цел на проекта

The success of digital platforms such as Airbnb and the subsequent proliferation of short-term rentals in cities have caused many challenges for local authorities, especially regarding the regulation and mitigation of their social impacts. Current attempts to regulate short-term rentals assume that Airbnb and similar providers are part of the so-called ‘sharing economy’ in which hosts would occasionally share their homes with visitors. However, there is increased evidence that short-term rentals have become professionalised, and that individual and corporate investors have started to channel substantial investment into this market. In this regard, POLIS explores the links between short-term rentals and housing financialisation and, in doing so, will provide innovative understandings of the Airbnb-led restructuring of local housing markets. POLIS draws on the principles of evidence-based policy making with the aim of advancing policy innovation for the regulation of this emerging economic sector. In particular, POLIS will address three research objectives: it will (i) examine the professionalisation of the short-term rental market; (ii) investigate to what extent Airbnb channels financial investment into the housing market; (iii) elaborate alternative policy proposals for positive change. POLIS is a gender-sensitive project and has an intrinsic gender dimension in all phases of the research. The project will explore the cases of two European cities: Lisbon and Leipzig. It will provide comparative insights into a topic that has proved to be of significant political, economic and spatial relevance. Research objectives will be addressed using a mixed-method design that collects and analyses data from a variety of sources, especially in-depth interviews and critical policy analysis. With short-term rentals on the agendas of local authorities in different contexts, the POLIS project will produce high quality transferable outcomes for other EU cities and beyond.
