Einleitung
The authors estimate a random effects Tobit model to predict the number of medals garnered by a country in 14 individual Olympic sports and find that GDP is significant for 12 of these sports, especially in sailing, equestrian, swimming, fencing and cycling events, suggesting an advantage for large developed countries. They propose that sport subsidy policy should focus on development of facilities that can be shared. They also flnd that hosting an event gives the home country an advantage in competition. (geändert)
