In economics, spillover effects are economic events in one context that occur because of something else in a seemingly unrelated context. Spillover Effect, as the name states "the effect which spills over". In the United States, each state is dependent on the others economy in some of the way, in such situations a slight change in the economy or state of “A" may lead to change into the economy of “B". In measuring the statewide impacts of Indian gaming, these spillover effects have been captured for this study.
