With Evgueni Vinogradov, Nordlandsforskning, Bjørnar Karlsen Kivedal and Birgit Leick published an article in Tourism Management that investigates the link between housing-market regulation and the growth of Airbnb, based upon Norwegian Airbnb listings and agent-based modelling.
- The article suggest that Airbnb's current growth will be associated with a series of instabilities with sudden crises and subsequent quick recoveries, putting stress on local rental markets.
- Moderate taxation may contribute to a more even distribution of Airbnb listings in Norway, notably across the urban space, and prevent bottlenecks in the local housing and tourist markets.
- The article is related to the project Digital Entrepreneurship in the Nordic Sharing Economy that members from the research group Business Development and Governance conducted between 2018 and 2019.
