Bread or games?: A social cost-benefit analysis of the World Cup bid of the Netherlands and the winning Russian bid
(Brot oder Spiele? Eine soziale Kosten-Nutzen-Analyse der WM-Bewerbung der Niederlande und der siegreichen russischen Bewerbung)
Many countries compete fiercely for the right to host mega-events like the World Cup. Proponents of hosting mega-events claim that yields economic gains. Many available studies focus on partial effects of hosting or concern ex post analyses. The authors utilize the existing literature to perform a detailed cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of the Netherlands bidding jointly with Belgium for the 2018 World Cup. The authors show that national pride and pleasure come at a price and financial gains are unlikely. Based on this CBA, the authors predict that the costs of the 2018 World Cup in Russia will also exceed the financial benefits.
