This document analyzes Airbnb listing data from Seattle in 2016 to understand factors that influence price. It hypothesizes that price rises with more Gen X/Y residents and more reviews per listing. Analysis shows price decreases with more Gen Z/baby boomer residents and increases with fewer reviews, disproving the hypotheses. Next steps include considering neighborhood differences and recent demographic data.

How did Airbnb mix digital with a historical event to promote its positioning...Martin Basdevant
Analysis of the strategy and performances of the last Airbnb's digital activation "Wall and Chain", launched on November 7th, 3 days before the 25th anniversary, of the Fall of the Berlin Wall.
Delight 2015 | Airbnb Environments: Belonging in the Open PlanDelight Summit
This presentation was given by Aaron Taylor Harvey and Rachael Harvey of the Airbnb Environments Team at Delight 2015 on Oct. 5, 2015.
Imagine a call center with no cubicles, no traditional desks, and no phones. What if, instead, you could design an office defined by freedom and comfort that is also an effective and functional place to work every day. That’s exactly what Aaron and Rachael Harvey did for Airbnb’s award-winning Portland Call Center—and what they’re doing for other Airbnb offices around the world. Agents in the Portland call center have a work environment that’s a lot like a great Airbnb travel listing, bringing the experience of traveler and agent closer together—and making it easier to provide those travelers with a great customer experience. In this core conversation, Aaron and Rachael will share the philosophy and design process they use to redefine work environments in much the same way that Airbnb redefined travel.

the hotel industry is under going another disruption: the "collaboration economy" and its poster child Airbnb give rise to a variety of apartment rentals, offered to consumers for more affordable prices. Hotels respond to this trend by sharpening their strategy and their differentiation compared to the new competition.
Over the last few years, Airbnb’s frontend architecture has evolved to keep pace with the rapid advancement happening the JavaScript world. Starting as a humble Rails 2 + Prototype.js app in 2008, the frontend stack powering airbnb.com has gone through a few revisions, including a push towards single-page app architecture with Backbone.js and Handlebars.js, an adventure into isomorphic JavaScript with Rendr (our library for using Node.js to server-render Backbone SPAs), and most recently, a move toward React.js and a re-envisioning of our build pipeline to take advantage of CommonJS, ES6, and a Node.js-based transform system. Spike Brehm, software engineer on the @AirbnbNerds team, will walk through how we approached and executed on these changes. Plus, get excited to see a preview of our new approach to isomorphic JavaScript, allowing us to server-render React components from our Rails app.
Spike Brehm is a software engineer at Airbnb who specializes in building rich web experiences. As a JavaScript nerd, he has spent the last few years shipping web apps and prototyping Airbnb’s front-end stack, experimenting with “isomorphic JavaScript” — apps that have the flexibility to run on both the client and sever using the same codebase.

ECONOMICS 201: Introduction to Microeconomics
NUMBER ONE {60 points}. Using the production possibilities frontiers for WOMEN and
MEN provided below, explain which group has a comparative advantage over which type of
goods. Is it rational for WOMEN to trade with MEN? Explain. What will keep each group
from trying to overcharge the other for their specialized product? What are some of the barriers
to trade which might keep the two groups apart even if there are mutually beneficial gains from
exchange possible?
Child Care (CC) Income Earning (IE)
WOMEN 100 400
MEN 80 240
NUMBER TWO {60 points}. Suppose there is market for airfares to Caribbean Beach Vacation
Destinations (CBVDs). Consider the following list of factors which might influence the market
for CBVDs:
A. the public becomes more workoriented
and less leisureoriented
B. the income of the public decreases
C. the prices of hotel rooms in the Caribbean beach vacation regions increases slightly
D. the prices of airfares to Colorado ski vacation destinations increases
E. the sales tax imposed on the purchase of airfares increases substantially
F. the cost of jet fuel increases
G. the wages of travel agents decrease
Use the Supply and Demand Model to provide an answer for each of the four complex cases
described below. What happens in the market for Caribbean Beach Vacation Destinations if:
I. A and F occur at the same time
II. B and G occur at the same time
III. C and E occur at the same time
IV. C and D and F occur at the same time
NUMBER THREE {605 points}. The behavioral model of neoclassical microeconomics asserts
that human beings are “selfinterestedand rational.” Yet, we have emphasized the importance of
a human being’s social nature, and especially the importance of acquiring morals and ethics,
essentially from our social settings. When you ask people about what is important to them, most
people mention “family” somewhere near the top of their priorities; rarely is a person so candid
as to admit that they place themselves first.
Is it important to be committed primarily to yourself or to your family? What if someone in
your family breaks the law, or commits a fundamentally immoral act? According to
microeconomics, how does a person decide where to give their loyalty when the interests of one
social group, like the family, are in conflict with the interests of another social group, like the
person’s nation or religion? In summary, what is the economic role of ethics and morals for both
the individual person and the society?
NUMBER FOUR {60 points}. Consider the data on housing prices provided below. Use the
Supply and Demand model to describe some possible components of these changes in housing
prices.

Wireless and wired telecom providers use geocoding, consumer data, and location analytics for subscriber acquisition. How well it works depends on hyper-accurate geocoding and a rich set of data attributes augmenting a correct residential or business address.
4. What variables influence price?
Hypothesis:
For Demographics: If there are more gen x / gen y present in a region, then
the price for listings will rise.
For Reviews: If there are more reviews for a listing, then the price for a
listing will rise.
11. Analysis of price by demographic
Hypothesis: Incorrect
Evidence : Weak
R-Squared : explains 53.21% of the variation of outcomes around the mean.
Price of
Airbnb
listings
Presence of Gen
X and Gen Y
Decreased Price
Presence of Gen z,
baby boomers, and
silent increased price
15. Analysis on price by reviews slide
Hypothesis: Incorrect
Rather the price of the listing could potentially be a contributing factor
to determine the amount of reviews a listing receives.
Evidence: Fairly Strong
R-Squared: Explains very little of the Variation of outcome around mean
16. Next Steps
For Demographics:
- Overgeneralization of areas that individually would otherwise be significantly
different.
- Recent demographics data
For reviews:
-Consider outliers that may skew data for reviews
-Account for age of listings and the amount of reviews
21. 1. Capitol Hill %14.85
Total Listings: 3818
Listings per
Neighborhood Group
2. Downtown %13.38
3. Central %9.66
4. Queen anne %7.73
5. Ballard %6.02
22. HOW DOES THIS KNOWLEDGE BENEFIT
AIRBNB
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Airbnb already well established amongst millennials, because the
company is built on the idea of designing for trust, maybe reach/attract
a larger demographic.
