Abstract
We study the causal effects of urban amenities on nightly prices in short-term rental platforms such as Airbnb. Prices are determined both by property characteristics and by their spatial location, which introduces complex local and neighborhood-level variations. We analyze Airbnb listings in Broward County, Florida, using a two-stage semiparametric framework with explicit spatial tuning. A generalized additive model captures nonlinear effects of property attributes and broad geographic trends, while a low-rank Moran eigenvector basis filters residual fine-scale spatial dependence. This approach provides a data-driven framework to assess the spatially heterogeneous influence of amenities and neighborhood features, and offers interpretable insights into pricing strategies in densely distributed urban rental markets.
