Abstract

Objective of the study: This research aims to present the characteristics of articles that analyze Airbnb published in the main international scientific journals and national scientific journals that belong to the field of tourism and the field of administration between 2008 and 2018.

Methodology / approach: This study is based on a bibliometric study, employing a systematic review followed by a bibliometric analysis performed through a co-citations study based on an exploratory factor analysis.

Originality / Relevance: To date, no systematic review of Airbnb has been identified that presents the characteristics of productions pointing to similarities and differences between the international production published in the main scientific journals and the national scientific production, nor a bibliometric analysis that indicates the theoretical constitution that supports the Airbnb investigations.

Main results: The articles in the sample are concentrated in specific journals, presenting an exponential growth over the years, being mostly not based on theory, using quantitative approach, using as main statistical techniques regressions and SEM, focusing on economic effects and employing as main unit of research secondary data. The author with the most publications is Daniel Guttentag. Quotations from the sample are based on three factors, namely (1) 'Pricing and Economic Impact', (2) 'Theoretical Support' and (3) 'State of the Art and Future Studies'.

Theoretical / Methodological Contributions: This article aggregates to the literature on the subject by advancing the findings made by Humes and Freire (2018) and Dann, Teubner and Weinhardt (2019) by conducting a bibliometric study.
