Abstract
The Alberta Gaming Research Institute commissioned this literature review of the
economics of gambling and government and industry gambling policy and practice. The review
is designed to accomplish the following objectives:
1. To identify scholarly articles in academic journals, texts, and conference proceedings
pertaining to (a) the economics of gambling, and (b) public and private sector gambling
policy and practice.
2. To compile an electronic database to store the citations and, where available, the annotations
of the identified references.
3. To provide a summary report that discusses the identified literature and highlights the
contributions of Albertans to this field of endeavor.
4. To begin the process of generating interest and building capacity to conduct gambling-related
research within the Alberta Gaming Research Institute.
To complement this review of the scholarly literature, Dr. Peter Bowal and his University
of Calgary colleague’s conducted a separate review and analysis of legal and government
documents in the gambling policy domain. The results of the Bowal review are contained in a
separate report.
