    Nuestro estudio consiste en realizar una comparativa de 3.084 hoteles de diferentes ciudades de dos países (España y Francia) e identificar cuáles son los factores determinantes que más influyen en la fijación del precio del hotel de cada país analizando sus semejanzas y diferencias.

    Empleamos modelos hedónicos de precios basados en estimación por mínimos cuadrados (MCO) y en estimación por regresión cuantílica.

    Los resultados obtenidos tanto por MCO como por regresión cuantílica confirman que la categoría de hotel es una señal de calidad más fuerte en Francia que en España mientras que el eWOM tiene más influencia en el precio de habitación en España que en Francia. En ambos países el efecto de la concentración hotelera es positivo sin evidencia de diferencias significativas en ambos países.

    Our study consists of comparing 3,084 hotels in different cities of two countries (Spain and France) and identifying which are determinate factors that most influence in fixing price hotel of each country, analyzing their similarities and differences. We use hedonic pricing models based on least squares estimation (OLS) and quantile regression estimation. The results obtained by both OLS and quantile regression confirm that hotel category is a stronger quality signal in France than in Spain while eWOM has more influence on the room price in Spain than in France. In both countries, the effect of hotel concentration is positive without evidence of significant differences in both countries.
