Do new gambling products displace old? Evidence from a postcode analysis.
Résumé
In this paper we examine the extent to which new gambling products displace traditional products. In particular, we test whether the introduction of Fixed Odds Betting Terminals (FOBTs) affected the number of traditional gambling machines in Great Britain. We use data from geographical districts based on postcodes within Great Britain between the periods of 2001 and 2006. Using a propensity score matching approach, we find little evidence that FOBTs caused any reduction in the number of machines in venues other than licensed betting offices.
