Ekonomové a minimální mzda
Jirásek, Tomáš ; Šťastný, Daniel (advisor) ; Koubek, Ivo (referee)
The minimum wage is a tool of public policy which despite being in favor of politics tends to be in displeasure of economists. Recent consensus study shows (Alston, 1992; Fuller, 2003) that consensus on minimum wage among economists has a tendency for weakening. The goal of my thesis was to map the consensus of economists on minimum wage in the course of the 20th century and to help to answer the question how the view of economists has changed on this topic and which events were of greatest influence. As a way of measuring the consensus I chose the studying of academic articles because it is the direct output of academic community. My study shows that from the 1930s we can see a constant strengthening of ideas that a minimum wage has a negative effect on economy.
How many and what can economists offer to public policy?
Jirásek, Tomáš ; Šťastný, Daniel (advisor) ; Maleček, Petr (referee)
The subject of this paper is the analysis of the hypothesis raised by some economists that economics has resigned on its original direction on public policy. In my paper I am going to give reasons for their opinions and then I am going to prove this trend in the economic science in an appropriate way. I am going to make a survey of economic periodicals such as American Economic Review, Journal of Political Economy and Journal of Labor Economics.
