• TITLE: A Dynamic Model of Gambling Addiction with Social Costs: Theory and Policy Solutions

  AUTHORS: Nazaria Solferino, Leonardo Becchetti, Maria Elisabetta Tessitore

  KEYWORDS: Addiction, Gambling, Social Costs

  JOURNAL NAME: Modern Economy, Vol.9 No.12, December 13, 2018

  ABSTRACT: We investigate the effects of gambling addiction in a dynamic model in which wellbeing crucially depends on the accumulation of relational goods which is weakened by the consumption of gambling. We outline conditions under which gambling may become addictive leading to a suboptimal equilibrium from a social point of view. We examine the relative effectiveness of different policy solutions (tax on gambling, gambling restrictions) in bridging the distance between the equilibrium without intervention and social optimum.
