• The economic impact of local sport events: significant, limited or otherwise? A case study of four swimming events (2006, methodology): “Gratton et al. (2000) use the word ‘major’ to signify the importance of sporting outcomes rather than the economic importance.”
• Mega-events as a Response to Poverty Reduction: The 2010 FIFA World Cup and its Urban Development Implications (2008, background): “A host of scholars conclude that while there are some positive economic and legacy impacts (Lee and Taylor 2005; Ritchie 2000), the urban economic impact is variable, intangible and ambiguous at best (Andranovich et al. 2001; Gratton et al. 2000, 2001, 2006).”
