由于赌博机会的扩散和政府对赌博机会的支持,问题赌博在美国日益受到关注。问题赌博带来的经济成本和身心健康问题使得研究如何减少问题赌博成为必要。我们的研究考察了金融知识是否可以成为减少美国赌博频率的一种手段。我们使用来自日本大阪大学偏好参数研究的数据,并应用工具变量probit回归模型。结果表明,一般来说,金融素养与赌博频率没有关系,但在电子赌博机(egm)可用的州,这种关系是显著的。结果表明,赌徒是非理性的,无法评估赌博的风险以及最大化预期收益的可能性。当赌博容易获得时,赌徒从赌博中获得的心理收益大于负预期效用。因此,关于赌博决策的合理性,除非获得egm的方便性受到控制。我们的研究结果进一步表明,男性、老年人、家庭收入较高的人以及容易接触赌博的人更有可能成为频繁的赌徒。
Problem gambling is becoming a growing concern in the United States because of the proliferation of, and state support for, gambling opportunities. The economic cost along with the physical and mental health problems associated with problem gambling make it necessary to study how problem gambling can be reduced. Our study examines whether financial literacy could be a means to reducing gambling frequency in the United States. We use data from the Preference Parameter Study of Osaka University, Japan, and apply instrumental variable probit regression models. The results show that, generally, financial literacy does not have a relationship with gambling frequency, but the relationship is significant in the states where electronic gambling machines (EGMs) are available. The results imply that gamblers are irrational and fail to assess the risks of gambling as well as the probabilities that maximize expected payoffs. It appears that gamblers’ psychological gain from gambling outweighs the negative expected utility when there is easy access to gambling. Thus, rationality with regard to gambling decisions does not work unless the easy access to EGMs is controlled. Our results further show that males, older people, people with higher household income, and people who have easy access to gambling are likely to be frequent gamblers.
