How do short‐term rental regulations affect market outcomes? Evidence from San Francisco's Airbnb registration requirement
Abstract
We study the effects of San Francisco's Airbnb registration requirement on market outcomes. The policy reduced Airbnb availability by 20%–27%, nights booked by 22%–31%, and increased booking prices by 3.3% relative to listings in untreated surrounding cities. Relatively commercial listings experience larger availability and booking decreases than casual listings, and similar increases in booking prices. The fraction of available listings designated as commercial fell by 2 p.p. (15%) in the most Airbnb‐dense neighborhoods. Overall, the policy reduced nights booked by 27,182/month and hosts' revenue by $5 million/month. Long‐term housing prices also fell following enactment, suggesting an improvement in housing affordability.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
