About this listen

With the World Cup finishing this weekend, Professor Calvin Jones and Dr Matt Lyons discuss the economic and social impacts of mega-events. What do countries gain from hosting events like the World Cup?


This podcast was inspired by the Birmingham Economic Review for 2022.


The annual Birmingham Economic Review is produced by City-REDI at the University of Birmingham and the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce. It is an in-depth exploration of the economy of England’s second city and a high-quality resource for informing research, policy and investment decisions. View and download the Birmingham Economic Review.
