Zahraniční investice, korporativní vlastnictví a rozvoj: dohání firmy v nově vznikajících trzích světový standard?
Sabirianova Peter, K. ; Švejnar, Jan ; Terrell, K.
We examine the extent of convergence in the Czech Republic and Russia, economies that represent alternative models of implementing the Washington Consensus. We also test hypothesis positing that only firms near the efficiency frontier benefit from these policies and catch up.
Může ropa pohánět motor ekonomického rozvoje?
Noguera, Jose ; Pecchenino, R. A.
We ask if a resource cartel can achieve the joint goals of development and resource market stability.
Kdy se platí v „ženských“ povoláních více?
Jurajda, Štěpán ; Harmgart, H.
In this paper, we use a 1995 sample of social-security wage records of full-time German workers to show that in East Germany predominantly "female" occupations pay more to both men and women and that there is no relationship between occupation-specific concentration of women and wages in West Germany.

Rozvoj průmyslového sektoru v České republice: velké podniky a perspektiva SME
Lízal, Lubomír
This paper briefly describes the historical development of Czech enterprises sector from the establishment of Czechoslovakia over the war period and communism while focusing on the changes during the reform (transition) process. It deals both with the medium and large size companies as well as the entrepreneurial sector as well. A special interest is paid to the legal framework and its effect on conducting business. Lastly, it also gives a brief overview of the bankruptcy procedures; this section is a natural complement to the main part that, in essence, describes establishment, entry and changes of new firms or former state-owned enterprises.
Jak reorganizovat trh práce: politická ekonomie současných českých a slovenských reforem
Jurajda, Štěpán ; Mathernová, K.
The Czech and Slovak Republics - until 1993 two parts of former Czechoslovakia - offer a unique reform comparison. Even though Slovakia faced higher unemployment since early transition and it was subject to greater reform failures, the two countries experienced similar macroeconomic paths over the first decade of transition. However, since the currency crises of 1997(8), their depth of reforms has been very different, with Slovakia making major strides to improve the labor market. We suggest two explanations, one based on fiscal pressures, the other stemming from political developments.
Nepravděpodobná mise III: měření neformálního sektoru v transformačních ekonomikách použitím makroekonomických metod
Hanousek, Jan ; Palda, F.
An easy and popular method for measuring the size of the underground economy is to use macro-data such as money demand or electricity demand to infer what the legitimate economy needs, an then to attribute the remaining consumption to the underground economy. Such inferences rely on the stability of parameters of the money demand and electricity demand equations, or at the very least on knowledge of how these parameters are changing. We argue that the pace of change of these parameters (such as velocity) is too variable in transition economies for the above methods of estimating the size of the underground economy to be applicable.
Vyhýbání se ztrátě jako princip výběru: důkaz z jednoduchých stag-hunt her
Rydval, O. ; Ortmann, Andreas
We investigate experimentally the conjecture by Cachon and Camerer (1996) that loss avoidance solves the tension that arises in stag-hunt games for which payoff dominance and risk dominance make conflicting predictions.
Česká segregace na základě pohlaví a mzdové rozdíly za antidiskriminační legislativy
Jurajda, Štěpán
Using 2002 matched employer-employee data we provide evidence on the size and structure of the Czech gender wage gap after the 2000 introduction of western-type anti-discrimination policies. Despite the new legislation, within-firm sex segregation continues to account for about one third of the gender wage gap while its unexplained portion remains just under two thirds.
