To kick off the morning I have found an interesting article that predicts the outcome of the Winter Olympics on the basis of Economics alone. The article is short - please take a moment to read it (http://freakonomics.com/2014/02/11/predicting-the-winter-olympics-with-economics/) and then respond to the following questions:
- What is the theory of the article in regards to the success of different countries at the Olympic games?
- Do you agree or disagree with this theory and WHY?
- Do you think that this can be applied to other aspects of society, even in ours?
Thanks for your response - we will get started with presentations (2nd to last day) very shortly. If you want to read a quick follow-up to the article (same topic) check out this other interesting article: http://www.businessinsider.com/economics-sochi-olympics-2014-2
