Amanda Belarmino (Hospitality), along with co-authors Yoon Koh and Min Gyung Kim, wrote an article, "Good Fences Make Good Revenue: An Examination of Revenue Management Practices at Peer-to-Peer Accommodations," that recently appeared in Tourism Economics.
This study aims to shed light on the current state of revenue management adoption on Airbnb. Utilizing a total of 307,955 Airbnb property’s daily data for 32 months, this study found that there are significant differences in revenue management practices by host characteristics (multi-unit hosts vs. single-unit hosts: superhosts vs. non-superhosts) for three revenue management tactics, dynamic pricing, minimum night’s stay, and restricted cancellation, and the hosts' practices change as their experience accumulates.
