New research uses economic modeling to optimize Airbnb's marketplace dynamics

This paper explores how to understand and optimize two-sided marketplaces, using Airbnb as a primary example. It combines economic modeling and causal inference to analyze guest booking behavior based on host-set prices and other factors. The research aims to improve Airbnb's tools for hosts to set competitive prices and personalize the guest experience for better matching. AI

IMPACT This research could inform the development of more sophisticated AI-driven pricing and recommendation systems for marketplaces.
