Maybe the advertising moved to other areas (entertainment programmes etc). More on this to come.

[Rob Pryce 🇺🇦 @robpryce]

Why not?

Maybe those non-banned periods are already saturated with gambling adverts so additional adverts would be poor marginal returns (though the data shows they're not currently full of gambling adverts)

[Rob Pryce 🇺🇦 @robpryce]

Maybe advertising outside of the actual match period isn't as important because advertising is more about instant cues, getting people to bet when they see the advert. We have some work in the pipeline on this using the world cup.

[Rob Pryce 🇺🇦 @robpryce]

I expected the gambling companies to abide by the ban, which they did (it was an industry-led policy).

I also expected companies to move at least some of their adverts from banned periods to not-banned period (more than 5 minutes before kick-off). They didn't really do this.

[Rob Pryce 🇺🇦 @robpryce]

I really like this paper led by PhD student @McgraneEllen. The whistle-to-whistle ban effectively banned TV adverts during live football matches, plus 5 minutes before. We compared TV advertising around games before the ban with games after.

Ps. Gutted they cite our (@VoodooEcon ) paper but not my quantile price elasticities paper!

Enjoyed this commentary and original paper.

As an economist working with Public Health academics, there's a lot to relate to regarding boundaries.

I imagine @JHolmesSheff might enjoy.

Noticed this today too and I find it irrationally annoying. That and the capitalisation of "Typing..."

[Tom Peck @tompeck]

Really angered more than I should be by WhatsApp’s sudden capitalisation of the word Online.

desperately trying to get my hands on a copy of:

Anyone got a copy saved somewhere? It doesn't seem to be available online any more.

What a load of rubbish. The duty reforms for wine bring it into the same tax structure as beer, cider and spirits. It now taxes the alcohol contained in the product.
