Lights, Camera, Economics: Independent film in the UK
Lights, Camera, Economics is a short documentary on the growing economic challenges faced by independent filmmakers wrapped in a love letter to the world of UK independent film. Based on research by Alma Economics, commissioned by the British Film Institute (BFI).
Short-term lets in England
On February 19th 2024, the government announced new rules for Airbnb-style short-term lets.
The move is a response to concerns that the rapid growth of short-term lets in recent years is impacting the availability and affordability of homes, particularly in more popular destinations. There are also concerns about compliance with health and safety regulations.
In this context, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport had issued a call for evidence on short-term and holiday rentals. Alma Economics was asked to analyse the over 3,000 responses received. This video provides a breakdown of our findings that informed the newly announced policies
Gambling and mental health
Alma Economics was commissioned by the British charity GambleAware to analyse results from three waves (2020-2022) of the Annual Great Britain Treatment and Support Survey run by YouGov.
Using this rich survey data we explored the relationship between Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) scores and various important metrics of mental health.
Our results included the finding that certain mental health issues, including intermittent explosive disorder and ADHD, are significantly more common among those experiencing gambling harms compared to the general population.
