Index Etfs -- Not Created Equal, Steven D. Dolvin
All Chapters
You might expect that all "Large Cap" ETFs are the same, as they would likely track the S&P500 index. However, in an effort to reduce costs, many ETF providers (such as Vanguard) are replacing the standard index with others that charge lower licensing fees. This allows the providers to either reduce the expenses they charge or increase operating margins. As providers make this switch, it could also impact the underlying holdings to the extent that differences occur across the indexes. See article here, Wall Street Journal.

The Economics Of Health And Vitamin Consumption, Christiane Schroeter, Sven Anders, Andrea Carlson
The Economics Of Health And Vitamin Consumption, Christiane Schroeter, Sven Anders, Andrea Carlson
Agribusiness
We estimate the impact of vitamin supplement intake, lifestyle, health indicators, food culture, and demographics on diet quality outcomes as measured by the Healthy Eating Index–2005 (HEI). Our data consists of U.S. adults who participated in the 2003–2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Alternative instrumental variable estimators explicitly address issues of endogeneity and complex sample design. Our empirical analysis demonstrates that diet quality is strongly interrelated with food culture. We suggest that vitamin consumption serves as another marker for healthy eating. This finding emphasizes the need to employ economic modeling when developing public policy to reduce obesity.

The Probability Distribution Of The Sum Of Several Dice: Slot Applications, Ashok K. Singh, Rohan J. Dalpatadu, Anthony F. Lucas
The Probability Distribution Of The Sum Of Several Dice: Slot Applications, Ashok K. Singh, Rohan J. Dalpatadu, Anthony F. Lucas
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
The probability distribution of the sum of two fair dice is used to calculate the house advantage of various bets in craps, and is readily available in probability and statistics books and gaming literature. The probability distribution of the sum of A: dice (for k >= 3) is derived in this paper using the method of moment generating function. A recursion formula for deriving the probability distribution of the sum of k dice (for k >= 3) from the probability distribution of the stun of k-1 dice is also given. There are no gaming books or journal articles that demonstrate …

Recent Research Trends In The Gaming Industry: A Content Analysis Of Research Literature On Casino Profits, Toni Repetti
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
This content analysis reviews empirical studies of gaming regulatory changes and casino operations changes published between 1995 and 2011. Studies concerned with changes that effect casino volume, revenue, or profit are included with a table summarizing all findings in each category. Suggested modification to existing research has also been suggested in some cases. The author provides proposed hypotheses for future research and the implications the past and future research has to academia and industry.

Estimating The Indirect Effect Of Sports Books On Other In-House Gaming Volumes, Brett L.L. Abarbanel, Anthony F. Lucas, Ashok K. Singh
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Using data from a repeater market hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, the relationship between sports book and slot machine revenues is examined. Daily sports book write and daily slot handle are compared over a 250 day period. Though many industry leaders theorize that sports book gamblers also wager in slot banks, the results of this Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) analysis fail to demonstrate a statistically significant relationship between sports book write and slot coin-in at the 0.05 alpha cutoff. This study advances literature currently available by establishing the lack of such a relationship and disputing the generally accepted assumption …
“Don’T Blow A Bunch Of Cash On Vegas:” An Event Study Analysis Of President Obama’S Public Statements On Las Vegas, Paul Gift, Michael J. Gift
“Don’T Blow A Bunch Of Cash On Vegas:” An Event Study Analysis Of President Obama’S Public Statements On Las Vegas, Paul Gift, Michael J. Gift
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
In February of 2009 and 2010, President Obama made what some in the media and gaming industries construed as negative public statements regarding trips to Las Vegas. Some claimed these statements could easily be interpreted as a suggestion that companies and individuals avoid casino areas, thus doing additional harm to their surrounding economies during already tough times. In this paper, we use event study methodology to examine stock market reactions of U.S. casino-related businesses to the president’s statements. We find that President Obama’s statements were followed by significant negative abnormal returns in the segment of companies targeted more towards conventions, …
Frontline Employees’ Informal Learning And Customer Relationship Skills In Macao Casinos: An Empirical Study, Carlos S. Lam
Frontline Employees’ Informal Learning And Customer Relationship Skills In Macao Casinos: An Empirical Study, Carlos S. Lam
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
This study uses qualitative methods to better understand how the informal learning of frontline employees influenced their customer relationship skills in dealing with patrons at gaming tables, in the hope of achieving positive customer experiences in a competitive environment in Macao. As casino operators need to get their employees to work after limited formal training, they might find that their emphasis on formal training might be insufficient to provide patrons with customized service in Macao. In this context, the concept of informal learning, which is determined and directed by learners themselves to further improve what they have learned from their …
The Effect Of Online Gaming On Commercial Casino Revenue, Kahlil S. Philander
The Effect Of Online Gaming On Commercial Casino Revenue, Kahlil S. Philander
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
This study estimates the effect of the online gaming industry on the commercial casino gaming industry. The findings from this study suggest that during the pre-UIGEA period, online gaming was a moderate substitute good for brick and mortar gaming in the U.S. During this early period in the online gaming market, which was characterized by loose regulation and relatively easy access, online gaming revenue is estimated to have cannibalized commercial casino revenue at a rate of 27 to 30 cents on the dollar. A discussion of this finding’s relevance to the current gaming market and the related policy considerations is …
What Is Intellectual Capital?, Mikael Ahlgren
What Is Intellectual Capital?, Mikael Ahlgren
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
The transformation of Las Vegas from the domestic center of gaming to the future global command center of the gaming industry is an ambitious undertaking. The city of Houston, Texas successfully underwent a similar evolution in the 1980s. Now recognized as a global hub of the energy industry, Houston's stakeholders often credit intellectual capital as a primary driver of their success. This article provides an introduction to intellectual capital theory and offers Las Vegas and its stakeholders some guidance for future examinations of the city's intellectual resources.

Las Vegas And Houston: Global Command Centers In The Sun Belt, Bo J. Bernhard, Mikael Ahlgren
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Apart from their notoriously hot summers, Las Vegas, Nevada and Houston, Texas appear to have little in common. Upon further scrutiny, however, the two cities have followed strikingly parallel trajectories. As a hub of commercial gaming today, Las Vegas faces challenges comparable to the obstacles Houston encountered in the 1970s and 1980s as a hub of oil and energy. The story of Houston since this downtime reflects a stunning transformation into a modern-day international city, and one that both parallels and portends a new Las Vegas. In this article, we argue that Houston provides a viable model for Las Vegas …

There are many routes to world city status. Most places get there by being financial, trade, or manufacturing hubs, or as is the case with the biggest and most connected world cities, a concentration of all three. Las Vegas took a different path. It achieved world city status via one key sector—gaming.

The Boomerang Effect: Asia's Casino Industry Growth Can "Fly Back" To Benefit Las Vegas, Jonathan Galaviz
The Boomerang Effect: Asia's Casino Industry Growth Can "Fly Back" To Benefit Las Vegas, Jonathan Galaviz
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Boomerangs are an interesting invention. These remarkable devices can be thrown into the sky, for long distances, and then they do something amazing: they fly back to the thrower. Metaphorically speaking, the Las Vegas-based casino resort industry has thrown its "boomerang" to places like Singapore, Macau, and many other casino markets throughout the world over the last decade, with great success. Of course, many question whether this "boomerang" will indeed fly back to the thrower in the form of economic benefits. In this paper, I will lay out some key strategic concepts that argue that Las Vegas is indeed benefitting …

The Evf Model: A Novel Framework For Understanding Gambling And, By Extension, Poker, Arthur S. Reber
The Evf Model: A Novel Framework For Understanding Gambling And, By Extension, Poker, Arthur S. Reber
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
There are several senses in which the term gambling is used. All have liabilities, problems that have muddied the waters in scientific research, generated conflicting legal decisions, compromised debates over ethical and moral issues, and have led to uneven legislation. Here, a novel framework for the term is offered, based on two continuous variables: a) the Expected Value (EV) of any arbitrary game and, b) the inherent Flexibility (F) of that game. This EVF model produces a classification system for all the enterprises that can or have been called gambling. It is one that allows for more measured decisions to …
Pennsylvania Casinos’ Cannibalization Of Regional Gambling Revenues, Simon Condliffe
Pennsylvania Casinos’ Cannibalization Of Regional Gambling Revenues, Simon Condliffe
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Gambling opportunities are expanding rapidly in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic area. Fifteen gambling venues have opened since 1996. The introduction of these venues has the potential to shift the balance of gambling activity away from New Jersey, which had enjoyed a monopoly position in the area for decades. Delaware and, more recently, Pennsylvania have entered the marketplace, raising the question of whether aggregate gambling activity has increased in the area, and whether all states have benefited. Contrary to previous research, a multivariate analysis reveals that aggregate gambling revenue among the three states has not increased with the introduction of Pennsylvania gambling …
Clustering High Dimensional Sparse Casino Player Tracking Datasets, Ross Iaci, Ashok K. Singh
Clustering High Dimensional Sparse Casino Player Tracking Datasets, Ross Iaci, Ashok K. Singh
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
In this article, we propose an iterative procedure for clustering sparse high dimensional transaction datasets, specifically two casino player tracking datasets. a common problem in clustering sparse datasets with very large dimensions is that in addition to classical techniques of clustering being unable to provide useful results, latent variable methods used for clustering often do not lead to sufficient data reduction to yield useful and informative results either. initially, we propose a straightforward resorting of the full dataset and then define an information based sparsity index to subset the sorted data. this new dimension reduced dataset is less sparse, and …

The Market For Online Poker, Ingo Fiedler, Ann-Christin Wilcke
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
The recent events of the “Black Friday” – the biggest online poker networks in the USA were shut down – demonstrated the necessity to make decisions about the regulation of online poker. But although online poker is a gold mine of data, until now nobody knows where the players and their money come from. It seems that the knowledge about the online poker market has not been able to keep up with the speed of its evolution in the past years. This paper is the first to shed light on this matter. We use data of 4,591,298 poker identities from …
Stress Related Issues Due To Too Much Technology: Effects On Working Professionals, Katherine Walz
Stress Related Issues Due To Too Much Technology: Effects On Working Professionals, Katherine Walz
MBA Student Scholarship
The purpose of this exploratory study was to determine stress related issues on working professionals within a retail organization and Information Communication Technology (ICT). This type of stress is known as “technostress.” Employees within four job levels; entry, middle, management and upper management were surveyed to learn what types of Information Communication Technologies they use in the workplace and what kinds of stress they experience because of these technologies (Brod, 1984; Ayyagari, Grover, and Purvis, 2011). Previous studies have shown that information communication technologies may be related to stress, but the specific kinds of stress related issues have not been …
