“…As the positive correlation in the second model shows, the amount of money spent on the game rises significantly with increasing income. This finding is also supported by other studies (Kitchen andPowells, 1991, p. 1847f.…”

“…Studies in Canada show that Canadian lotteries are consistently less regressive than US lotteries (cf. Livernois, 1987;Vaillancourt and Grignon, 1988;Kitchen and Powells, 1991). The findings for various games of chance differ as well.…”

“…Some studies analyse only macrolevel aggregate data and study the relationship between turnover per capita and the income levels of certain geographical areas (Clotfelter, 1979;Vasche, 1985;Mikesell, 1989;Jackson, 1994;Hansen, 1995). Other studies examine the tax incidence of lotteries by means of microlevel data, mostly by employing representative population survey data or data from surveys of lottery winners (Spiro, 1974;Brinner and Clotfelter, 1975;Suits, 1977a;Livernois, 1987;McConkey and Warren, 1987;Borg and Mason, 1988;Vaillancourt and Grignon, 1988;Clotfelter and Cook, 1991;Kitchen and Powells, 1991). Further studies combine micro-and macrolevel data, for example, Clotfelter and Cook (1987), Koza (1982), or Heavey (1978).…”

“…A positive coefficient is hypothesized when gambling expenditure is regressed against persons living alone and lone parents with children. The next four variables correspond to the gender of the household reference person and their age [see, for instance, Harry Kitchen and Scott Powells (1991) and Penelope Pugh and Paul Webley (2000)]. The reference category are male and persons aged twenty-nine years or younger, respectively.…”

Gambling participation in Australia: findings from the national Household Expenditure Survey

et al. 2007

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Regression modeling is used to predict gambling patterns in Australia on the basis of the unit record files underlying the Australian Bureau of Statistics' Household Expenditure Survey of 6,892 households. The four largest categories of gambling expenditure are examined, namely: lottery tickets, lotto-type games and instant lottery (scratch cards), TAB (pari-mutuel wagering) and related on course betting, and poker (slot) machines and ticket machines. Determining factors analyzed include the source and level of household income, family composition and structure, welfare status, gender, age, ethnicity and geographic location. Apart from the determinants of expenditure varying widely across the different types of gambling activity, the results generally indicate that the source of household income is more important than the level of income and that household composition and regional location are likewise significant in determining gambling expenditure.

“…In a study focusing on factors associated with household lottery expenditure across Canada, Kitchen and Powells (1991) showed that lottery expenditure increases as income increases; that lottery expenditure is significantly lower for households with female household heads; and that lottery expenditure declines as the head of household's educational level increases. Using a survey of household expenditure, Sawkins and Dickie (2002) investigated participation in and expenditure on the UK national lottery.…”

This paper presents a study of household gambling consumption in Thailand in 2011. We investigate the nonlinear relationships between this behavior and household alcohol expenditure, household gambling expenditure, and demographic factors. We use Treenet to analyze datasets drawn from a socio-economic survey of 42,083 Thai households conducted in 2011. The results show that the five most significant variables in order of importance for predicting the likelihood of household gambling consumption are household income, household region, work status of the household head, religion of the household head, and age of the household head. In summary, the Treenet results suggest that the likelihood of gambling consumption was higher for households with an income of more than 25,000 Bahts per year, a location in the North, a Buddhist head of household, a head with active work status, a head between 35 and 55 years old, with household expenditure spent on alcohol consumed at home of more than 500 Bahts, with household expenditure spent on tobacco of more than 100 Bahts, and a head of household with less education.
