Abstract

The driving effect of post-Olympic venues and ice-snow tourism on the local economy is a critical issue in policy analysis and theoretical research. Building on the existing literature, this paper employs the Difference-in-Differences (DID) method to examine the economic stimulus effect of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics on host cities. Empirical results indicate significant post-event increases in GDP and per capita income in the host cities. This study provides insights for governments considering Olympic bids and strategies for sustainable development of the ice-snow economy.
