Daniel Kent Neil Johnson (born c. 1969) is a Canadian-American microeconomist and entrepreneur.
[1] Johnson's Olympic Medals Model uses five variables: country's per-capita income, population, political structure, climate, and host-nation advantage.
[4] Since 2000, Johnson's model has become increasingly more accurate at predicting the number of gold medals a country will win, while becoming marginally less accurate at predicting the total number of medals.
[5] Johnson's other work is in microeconomic analysis, with emphasis on business development.
He has worked in the areas of commodity analysis, technology growth, and innovation, among others.
