Politická ekonomie 2016, 64(7):769-788 | DOI: 10.18267/j.polek.1096  

In this article we analyze the continuous inflation dynamics using a four-equation model. When constructing the model, the traditional Kaldorian two-equation model is extended by adding two other equations. One of them describes an adaptive inflation expectations and the other continuous dynamics of the money market. In this setting, the instability velocity of money circulation is assumed due to the effects of expected inflation on money circulation velocity. Then the parameters of the model are estimated using the real Czech economic data. As it is a non-linear model in its parameters, a non-linear estimation technique is used for this purpose. Further,...

Optimum spotřebitele a model ekonomické interpretace v mikroekonomii

Consumer Optimum and Model of Economic Interpretation in Microeconomics

Tomáš Langer

Politická ekonomie 2016, 64(7):789-803 | DOI: 10.18267/j.polek.1095  

Consumer choice theory uses continuous utility function, representing the consumer preference relation, as a traditional matter of course. However, there are alternative ways of defining consumer's optimum and proving its existence even without introducing such function. Contrasting both approaches raises question about aspects and limitations of economic interpretation of the mathematical form used in the theory. This article investigates economic interpretation in microeconomics as a relation of mathematical model and economic concepts and, using the example of consumer choice theory, formulates a model of economic interpretation based on the properties...

Banks which underwent the privatization process in the Czech Republic, i.e. Česká Spořitelna, a.s., Československá Obchodní Banka, a.s., Investiční a Poštovní Banka, a.s., Komerční Banka, a.s., Živnostenská Banka, a.s., have been very widely discussed by both professional and lay public from several perspectives. Namely, what the actual economic condition of these banks was on the date of completion of the privatization, as well as the transfer of graded loans, or rather low-performing assets, which the state took over and reimbursed to the banks through consolidation institutions (hereinafter CI), and all this obviously in relation to the purchase...

Key Issues in Investment Funds in Terms of Tax Burden

Tereza Krček

Politická ekonomie 2016, 64(7):833-850 | DOI: 10.18267/j.polek.1097  

The paper shows the fundamental problems in the area of investment funds in terms of tax burden with special regard to closed-end real estate funds. Based on the characteristics of administrative costs, the study shows that closed-end real estate funds do not behave as investment funds. The study proves that closed-end real estate funds behave more like businesses that are hiding behind investment funds. This conclusion is confirmed on the basis of extensive research, by collecting data from annual reports of independent auditors of all types of funds. More than 51 percent of closed-end real estate funds indicate very high administrative costs and...

Martina Mysíková, Jiří Večerník

Politická ekonomie 2016, 64(7):851-866 | DOI: 10.18267/j.polek.1093  

The article deals with life and job satisfaction of the Czech working-age population. First it highlights concepts of happiness and satisfaction within the emerging multidimensional approaches to individual and societal well-being. Then, it resumes the data sources of those measures, with specific attention to the Module on Subjective Well-being of the survey EU-SILC. Using this data, basic characteristics and determinants of life satisfaction are shown first and basic characteristics and determinants of job satisfaction after that. Finally the relationship between these two dimensions of satisfaction is analysed. It appears that determination of life...

Politická ekonomie 2016, 64(7):867-890 | DOI: 10.18267/j.polek.1094  

The aim of this paper is to contribute to the discussion about the influence of family policy on family behaviour. The paper analyses the impact of parametric and system changes introduced in family and social benefits and tax reliefs in 2006-2015 on the income level of families with different demographic characteristics, and evaluates the potential of those changes to influence reproductive and partnership behaviour. The analytical part takes selected instruments of financial support to the family and shows the size of the financial provision families can claim depending on their previous earned income, to what extent that income is being compensated...
