Notes

Credibility and Independence of the World Anti-Doping Agency

A Barro-Gordon-Type Approach to Antidoping Policy

Nicolas Eber

LARGE, Université Robert Schuman, Strasbourg, France

This article argues that the antidoping policy faces a credibility problem very similar to that identified for the conduct of the monetary policy. Using a theoretical framework à la Barro-Gordon in which athletes form rational expectations about authorities’ effort against doping, the author shows that strong antidoping policies are not credible unless conducted by a completely independent World Anti-Doping Agency, provided that its president has either a very strong aversion to doping or a wage contract that incites him or her to implement the announced level of effort.
