چکیده انگلیسی


- We test whether the host advantage in the Summer Olympic Games is lasting or not.
- We employ dynamic panel estimation methods controlling for past performance.
- The problem of endogeneity in the host election is confronted by the use of runner up countries.
- We show that the host effect fades away immediately after hosting.

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.
