Abstract

Europe has experienced an uneven recovery in housing prices, with the emergence of real estate investment activity undermining the affordability of both rental and sales prices in major European city centres. However, another underlying factor, namely short-term tourist rentals, has proven particularly controversial, in the case of Spain, causing tension between municipal governments and anti-trust authorities.
