Measuring and managing of financial risks is an essential part of the management of financial institutions. The appropriate risk management should lead to an efficient allocation of available funds. Approaches based on Value at Risk measure have been used as a means for measuring market risk since the late 20th century, although regulators newly suggest to apply more complex method of Expected Shortfall. While evaluating models for market risk estimation based on Value at Risk is relatively simple and involves so-called backtesting procedure, in the case of Expected Shortfall we cannot apply similar procedure. In this article we therefore focus on...

Politická ekonomie 2017, 65(2):179-197 | DOI: 10.18267/j.polek.1135

The aim of our paper is to identify factors that influence the territorial selection and allocation of development aid of the Czech Republic. We applied random-effects probit and tobit models in our regression analysis which revealed that flows of Czech aid to individual developing countries are determined by variety of factors. Czech interests and mutual relations were mostly identified as statistically significant determinants, namely export volumes, closer historical relations and geographical proximity. The presence of Czech embassy in a country was not confirmed as a significant factor. The reflection of recipients' needs in Czech aid selection...

Politická ekonomie 2017, 65(2):198-216 | DOI: 10.18267/j.polek.1136

We contribute to the rare evidence of driving motives of establishing new onshore and offshore companies by analysing the situation in the Slovak Republic in 2014. We analyse financial and ownership data for the Slovak enterprises already included in onshore and offshore business, providing data by corporate service providers on the driving motives and their combination for the Slovak customers in 2014 and the available external data assessing the quality of the Slovak business environment. We present the empirical evidence that the motive of tax benefits is ranked as the most important, followed by the anonymity of the UBO, flexible arrangement of...

Slávka Klasová, Iveta Korobaničová, Peter Burger

Politická ekonomie 2017, 65(2):217-233 | DOI: 10.18267/j.polek.1137

The paper explores the impact of agglomeration economies on employment growth in the creative industries in Slovakia between 1998 and 2014. Using a spatial econometric model it has been confirmed that related variety plays a significant role in employment growth in creative industries, while significance of unrelated variety has not been confirmed. In other words, the districts specialising in different, but at the same time cognitively and technologically related creative sectors, have achieved higher employment growth in comparison to those specialising either in one selected creative sector, or in unrelated sectors. Moreover, the results indicate...

With respect to the occurrence of economic crises it may be observed that economic performance of countries is determined by the quality of its institutions. It is the corporate governance failure that is said, in line with the new institutional economic theory, to be among reasons for the recent international financial and economic crisis. This study has the goal of confirming, by empirical analysis, the existence of correlation between, on one hand, the quality of the institutional environment expressed by index of economic freedom and by its selected subindexes, and, on the other hand, the macroeconomic environment for corporates - as characterised...
