Since I did a [post](http://tomslee.net/2013/10/notes-on-airbnbs-new-york-business.html) about Airbnb's business in New York, Airbnb has published [its own study](http://blog.airbnb.com/airbnbs-economic-impact-nyc-community/) and so there has been some follow-up interest in my numbers, [here](http://techpresident.com/news/24513/analysis-examines-how-much-illegal-money-airbnb-makes-new-york), [here](http://nextcity.org/sharedcity/entry/the-numbers-airbnb-hasnt-released), and [here](http://www.cnbc.com/id/101176262).The data and the conclusions cannot be conclusive because they are a sample (though a big one) of limited publicly-available information. I’m happy to be corrected, but Airbnb would have to release some real numbers to do so, instead of silly 300 word “studies”.
I don’t have new data, and I think there is enough detail in the original post to understand the sources and the limits of the analysis, but here is a PDF presentation that tries to make the conclusions a bit more clear. Here is a version formatted for download and printing.
