Gambling has been outlawed in Singapore since 1965. However, Singapore
government approved a domestic casino in February and April 2010, which
were Resorts World Sentosa and Marina Bay Sands. The purpose of this policy
is to increase the number of tourists and to assist local economic growth
through casino. This study estimated the induced production of the Singapore
casino industry to unearth that the policy achieves its own purpose. 2011
Singapore National Income Accounts, 2007 Singapore Input-Output Table, 2005
Korea Regional Input-Output Tables and KEO-RAS methodology were used to
estimate the 2011 Singapore Input-Output Table(13×13), which has an
intermediate sector of casino industry. The results of the empirical analysis for
forward effect and backward effect of the Singapore casino industry are 1.03564
and 0.94148 respectively. Those are not a high level of achievement, and the
casino industry in Singapore has little relation with other industries. In addition,
the empirical analysis results produce 1.369 times of final demand as an
induced production of the Singapore casino industry. Induced multiplier is
proportional to economic scale. And the small number of an intermediate sector
in Input-Output tables makes an induced production in Input-Output analysis
decrease. Considering the GDP scale of Singapore, an induced multiplier of
1.3619 of casino industry is not small at all. In this respect, the policy of the
Singapore government for casino industry has achieved its purpose.
