| dc.description.abstract | Countries whose cities host the Summer Olympic Games increase significantly their success during the
competition. We study whether such effect is lasting or not. We compute the effect of hosting on the total
number of medals in the subsequent games. To confront the issue that the selection of the host city is
endogenous, we use a natural counterfactual: countries whose cities also bid for the Olympics but were
not selected by the International Olympic Committee. In all cases, we find that Olympic success on medals
fades away immediately after hosting. | |
