A Theoretical Comparison of the Economic Impact of Large and Small Events (2015, neutral): “Much of the economic impact research to date has focused on mega-event impact such as the Olympic Games or the FIFA World Cup (e.g., Baade & Matheson, 2004; Matheson, 2006a; 2009; Maennig & Zimbalist, 2012; Porter & Fletcher, 2008; Preuss, 2004; 2007; Tien, Lo, & Lin, 2011).”
The Economic Impact of Visitors at Major Multi-sport Events (2005, neutral): “Premise 3 is most likely to be given in reality due to the fact that there seem not to be too many ‘‘Time switchers’’ (see Table 2) while the number of ‘‘Avoiders’’ appear to be rather high (Preuss 2004a, pp. 53 /54).”
Are We Willing to Pay Enough to `Back the Bid'?: Valuing the Intangible Impacts of London's Bid to Host the 2012 Summer Olympic Games (2008, background): “For a survey of Olympic impact studies, see Preuss (2004).”
The Mega-Event Syndrome: Why So Much Goes Wrong in Mega-Event Planning and What to Do About It (2015, background): “Some scholars, too, have claimed that mega-events are catalysts for urban development and “accelerate [a city’s] infrastructural development by up to 10 years” (Preuss, 2004, p. 232).”
Major Sport Events and Long-Term Tourism Impacts (2007, neutral): “Beijing, Athens, Sydney, Atlanta, Barcelona, Seoul, Montreal, and Munich, as well as many Olympic Winter Games Cities such as Albertville, Lillehammer, Nagano, Salt Lake City, and Turin, all spent a substantial amount of money on infrastructure measures for preparation of the Olympic Games (Preuss, ”
The Economic Impact of Major Sports Events: A Review of Ten Events in the UK (2006, methodology): “The economic importance of the summer Olympic Games Despite the huge sums of money invested in hosting the summer Olympics, there has never been an economic impact study of the type described in this paper to assess the economic benefits of hosting the event.”
The impact of mega-sport events on tourist arrivals (2011, background): “Measuring only the economic returns to host the Summer Olympic Games, Preuss (2004; 2007) and Baade and Matheson (2003) show that the gains are ambiguous [see also Kasimati (2003)].”
Crisis events in tourism: subjects of crisis in tourism (2010, background): “For example, the hosting of the 2004 Athens Summer Olympic Games in Greece at a cost ranging between 9 and 12 million euros was undertaken by incurring substantial public debt with the 2004 budget deficit of over 6% (Ikonomopoulos, 2005; Preuss, 2004).”
Attracting Major Sporting Events: The Role of Local Residents (2006, background): “Email: preuss@uni-mainz.de ISSN 1618-4742 Print/ISSN 1746-031X Online # 2006 European Association for Sport Management DOI: 10.1080/16184740601154524 rantz, 1998; Baade & Matheson, 2002, 2004; Preuss, 2004b; Késenne, 2005).”
