Pourquoi les Jeux de Sotchi seront plus coûteux que prévu

By:	Wladimir Andreff (CES - Centre d'économie de la Sorbonne - CNRS : UMR8174 - Université Paris I - Panthéon-Sorbonne)
Abstract:	La comparaison des coûts ex ante (annoncés) et des coûts ex post (réalisés) sur l'échantillon de tous les Jeux Olympiques vérifie l'existence d'une 'winner's curse' (malédiction du gagnant de l'enchère) qui explique le dépassement systématique des coûts. Sotchi 2014 n'y échappera pas.
Keywords:	dépassement des coûts; malédiction du gagnant de l'enchère; économie du sport
