Analysis of the determinants of spending on gambling in Slovakia
Brodanský, Martin ; Chytil, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Babin, Jan (referee)
Which macroeconomic variables influence aggregate spending on gambling in Slovakia? I use data from 2001 to 2013. The basic hypothesis is that aggregate spending on gambling is positively correlated with growth of the GDP of the country. I provide an overview of the existing literature on the topic in the theoretical part of the thesis. Based on this, I choose other variables that might influence the amount of spending on gambling. The practical part of the thesis introduces two models with identical explaining variables. The first model uses net spending on gambling provided by the Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic as an endogenous variable. The hypothesis of the growing gambling expenses twined with growing GDP was successfully confirmed. Moreover, gambling spending grow with falling unemployment and falling income inequality. The second model uses gambling spending provided by the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic as an exogenous variable. All variables used in this model are, however, insignificant due to low quality of the data.
