“…Using the PVAR model allows us to treat both Airbnb and traditional accommodation as endogenous variables. Furthermore, using a vector autoregression (VAR) specification eliminates the endogeneity problem as well as the problem of omitted variable bias, that is, the need to include more proxy variables (cf., for instance, Guerello, 2014). By using time- and county-fixed effects, we are able to control for factors which are equal across counties over time, such as national economic factors.…”
The relationship between Airbnb-based and traditional accommodation is mainly documented for key tourist destinations with a large tourism sector, while there is almost no evidence on this for other destinations. This article focuses on regional variations in the relationship between Airbnb-based and traditional accommodation across primary and secondary tourist destinations in Norway. Through an exploratory cluster analysis and a panel vector autoregressive (PVAR) model with forecast error decomposition of shocks (unobserved effects), it finds evidence of spillovers from Airbnb-based accommodation to traditional accommodation in secondary destinations. The demand for traditional accommodation is positively affected by Airbnb demand in the long run. Interestingly, a smaller effect is found with the supply-side of regional tourism markets in the Norwegian secondary tourist destinations. The growth of Airbnb may, thus, spur growth in the general tourism sector in such less frequented destinations.

“…Similar conclusions were reached by Bonfim and Soares (2018), who show that, in general, loans granted during periods of very low and stable interest rates show higher default rates once interest rates start to rise. A different view is presented by Guerello (2014), who employs data from a panel of euro area countries and finds that monetary policy does not have an effect on bank credit risk.…”
Section: Earlier Studies On the Bank Lending And Risk-taking Channelsmentioning
This paper tests the conjecture that easy money policies of central banks, that is setting low rates for long, are responsible for the excess risk-taking behavior that led to the global financial crisis. If the conjecture holds then policy rate shocks should have persistent effects on bank behavior either through the bank lending or the risk-taking channel. Using data for the period prior to the global financial crisis, and a shock persistence methodology, we find that the policy rate has only limited idiosyncratic effects on bank lending growth and no effect on credit risk.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
