    Los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano en Río 2016 fueron el evento deportivo mayor y más importante en 2016. El rendimiento de los atletas en los Juegos Olímpicos siempre es de gran interés y sirven como base para análisis. Muchos países han iniciado programas de mayor financiamiento del deporte para aumentar el rendimiento de atletas. Un ejemplo particular puede ser Gran Bretaña y su enorme programa de financiación deportiva. En este artículo se realiza un análisis econométrico del impacto cuantitativo y cualitativo del Producto Interno Bruto (PIB) sobre el rendimiento deportivo, relacionado con el nivel de corrupción y otros factores sociales y demográficos. Nuestros resultados muestran que el mejor modelo explicativo del ranking de medallas en los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano en Río 2016 incluye PIB cualitativo, corrupción y Población Económicamente Activa. Mostrando con ello, que el rendimiento olímpico, no solo es explicado por la teoría clásica de población-PIB, sino que existen otros factores sociales y demográficos que hacen más completa la relación.AbstractSummer Olympic Games in Rio 2016 were the biggest and the most important sport event in 2016. Athletes’ performance at Olympics is always of a high interest and serve as a basis for analyses. Many countries have started programs of higher sport funding to increase the athletes’ performance. A particular example can be Great Britain and its enormous program of sport funding. In this article, we make an econometric analysis of quantitative and qualitative impact of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on sport performance, with regard to corruption and other social and demographic factors. Our results show that the best explanatory model of the medal ranking in the Summer Olympic Games in Rio 2016 includes qualitative GDP, corruption and Economic Active Population. Therefore, Olympic performance is not only explained by the basic population-GDP theory, but there are other social and demographic factors that make the relation complete.
