After more than 40 years of development, Computable General Equilibrium has been proved to be a very powerful tool to analyze the impact of big sports events on host country/city. In this paper, 2008 Beijing Olympic Games will be used as the target case to study the impact on the economy. A Supply model and a demand model will be established according to CGE theory to describe the case. This paper is not focused on the detail but the whole picture of Beijing's economy by analyzing the industrial structure changes under the influences of hosting the Olympic. Beijing's industrial structure development will also be analyzed in this paper.}, language = {en} }
