    MEGA-SPORTING EVENTS IN DEVELOPING NATIONS: PLAYING THE WAY TO PROSPERITY? Victor A. Matheson and Robert A. Baade Department of Economics Department of Economics and Business Williams College Lake Forest College Fernald House, 34 Sawyer Library Dr. 555 N. Sheridan Rd.

Do not cite or quote without the permission of the authors. ABSTRACT Supporters of mega-sporting events such as the World Cup and Olympics claim that these events attract hoards of wealthy visitors and lead to lasting economic benefits for the host regions. For this reason, cities and countries compete vigorously for the right to stage these spectacles. Recently, developing countries have become increasingly vocal in demanding that they get the right to share in the economic benefits of these international games. China, for example, has been awarded the 2008 Summer Olympics, and an African nation seems destined to host the 2010 World Cup. The specialized infrastructure and operating expenses required to host these events, however, can be extremely costly, and it is not at all clear that either the long or short-term benefits of the games are anywhere nearly large enough to cover these costs. This paper reviews other researchers’ as well as our own previous work on mega-sporting events such as the Super Bowl and World Series as well as international events like the World Cup and Olympics.

It recalls sliding sports and France with its colours as well as the olympic spirit with the flame inspired by the Savoie cross and the olympic rings. So as to integrate the olympic emblem (text, rings), a deep graphic study was made. The official logo of the 1992 Winter Olympics Games consists of three inseparable elements : - a symbol, "the flame", - a typography "Albertville 92", - the olympic rings which according to the IOC olympic charter, "represent the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes of the whole world on the occasion of the Olympic Games in a spirit of loyal competition and friendship, ideal praised by the Baron de Coubertin".

  • Economics and Olympics: an Efficiency Analysis
    Institute for Empirical Research in Economics University of Zurich Working Paper Series ISSN 1424-0459 Working Paper No. 313 Economics and Olympics: An Efficiency Analysis Alexander Rathke and Ulrich Woitek January 2007 Economics and Olympics: An Efficiency Analysis ∗ Alexander Rathke† and Ulrich Woitek‡ Institute for Empirical Research in Economics, University of Z¨urich January 2007 Abstract Applying stochastic frontier analysis, we estimate the importance of sports in society as technical efficiency of countries in the production of Olympic success since the 1950s. Our measures of success are medal shares and a broader concept including Olympic diplomas. Following Bernard and Busse (2004), population and GDP are used as inputs. While the impact of GDP is always positive, we show that the sign of the population effect depends on wealth and population size of a country. The results show that the spread of importance is very wide over time, across countries, gender, and sports. These differences can be seen as caused by differences in financial support, training methods, organization, or culture. Using the method proposed by Battese and Coelli (1995), we confirm the result well documented in the literature that planned economies and host countries are more successful than others in terms of Olympic suc- cess (e.g. Bernard and Busse, 2004). The method allows to shed light on important aspects of recent sport history, such as the consequences of the breakdown of the former Soviet Union. Keywords: Olympic Games, Efficiency Analysis, Stochastic Frontier JEL: J8, O47 ∗We are grateful to Helmut Dietl, Wolfgang K¨ohler, Jim Malley, Rainer Winkelmann, con- ference participants at the EWEPA VIII, Brussels 2005, and seminar participants at the HUI Seminar 2006 for helpful comments and suggestions.
