Towards more reliable gambling cost estimates, a population-based study with register-linkage
Methods commonly used in gambling cost studies yield higher estimates of gambling costs when arbitrary causality adjustment methods are used. Bayes theorem allows leveraging data on temporal patterns of gambling problems to estimate the plausible proportion where gambling is the precipitating factor for the experienced harm, rather than the other way around. Additionally, costs could be presented as Int$ per adult using the PPP exchange rate to f…
The implementation of mandatory identification in land-based electronic gambling machines
Behavioural status and demographic characteristics of target groups influence the implementation and effects of interventions to reduce and prevent harm. We examine the implementation of a statutory identification regime and associated monetary limit-setting in the context of electronic gambling machine gambling in Finland. Mandatory identification of players is a prerequisite for various policy measures aimed at preventing and reducing gambling …
Gambling during economic downturns
Background: Gambling expenditure is influenced by a range of individual-level and societal factors. Changes in these may also impact gambling consumption. Yet, little research has investigated how macroeconomic changes, such as changes in disposable income and economic downturns, translate to gambling consumption. Some forms of gambling may be impacted by economic downturns, but no comparative evidence is available. Methods: The current study use…
Availability restrictions and mandatory precommitment in land-based gambling
The study provides empirical support for the effectiveness of public health-oriented policies in reducing the total consumption of gambling. Availability restrictions and mandatory precommitment are therefore likely to also reduce the burden of harms of gambling to individuals and societies
Compulsory School Achievement and Future Gambling Expenditure
Even after controlling for other crucial background characteristics, early life success, in the form of compulsory school outcomes, seems to correlate with gambling expenditures later in youth. This suggests that the gambling behaviour can be linked to the cognitive ability of an individual. Our findings also imply that gambling could be more heavily concentrated on individuals that are already more socially disadvantaged. However, it is worth no…
