Abstract: This study investigates the influence of Airbnb on property prices in Corsica. Leveraging machine learning techniques, we obtain more robust results than those achieved with conventional methods and uncover heterogeneous effects of Airbnb on property values. Our analysis reveals that a 1% increase in Airbnb listings leads to an average 0.21% rise in house prices. Interestingly, this effect is more pronounced in economically less developed regions, such as inland municipalities and remote seaside resorts, compared to traditionally popular tourist destinations and urban areas.
