The sharing economy recently has been regarded as a viable alternative to many traditional markets. The unprecedented rate of growth entails some close examination to the extent of network effect, compared to other websites and platforms. However, a rigorous study on the network effect among home-sharing market has not emerged; hence my work provides evidence to support the idea that network effect is one of the major forces that drive the expansion of home-sharing market, as opposed to any traditional form of advertising. The results of regressions indicate that the cross-market network effect works in both ways yet the increase in the number of listings.
