  • Industry Structure, Segmentation and Competition in the U.S. Hotel Industry
    Industry Structure, Segmentation and Competition in the U.S. Hotel Industry R. Andrew Butters¹ Thomas N. Hubbard², November 12, 2019 -- DRAFT This paper provides evidence on the relationship between quality competition and industry structure in the U.S. hotel industry during the past half century. We document that starting in the early 1980s, quality competition came more in the form of costs that vary with hotel size, and less in the form of costs that remain fixed with hotel size, particularly for business travelers. We then show that, consistent with Sutton (1991), industry structure has evolved differently since then in areas that are business travel versus personal travel destinations. Demand increases have been associated with more, but smaller, hotels in business travel destinations. In contrast, the growth in the number of hotels is much smaller, and the growth in average hotel size is much greater, in personal travel destinations. We provide evidence that this change reflects the emergence of two new classes of hotels – limited service and all suites hotels – that did not exist before the early 1980s. These entrants – many of which had high quality rooms but which had limited out-of-room amenities – had a narrower competitive impact on other hotels than the entrants of the 1960s and 1970s, which competed more on out-of-the-room amenities, did, and this led the industry structure to evolve differently. Our results illustrate how increases in concentration can be interrupted or reversed by changes in how firms compete on quality. 1Kelley School of Business, Indiana University 2Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University and NBER We thank Severin Borenstein for sharing his software programs in relation to the 1995 American Travel Survey, Jamie Bae for excellent research assistance, and Mike Mazzeo, Lee Pillsbury and Jerry Wind for useful conversations.
