MICHAL HRNČIAR - INEQUALITIES IN THE LABOUR MARKET AND IN THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IN THE CONTEXT OF CURRENT SOCIAL CHANGES FOR A SELECTED SECTOR IN THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC (Nerovnosti na trhu práce a vo vzdelávacom systéme v kontexte súčasných sociálnych zmien vo vybranom sektore v Slovenskej republike)

MICHAL HRNČIAR - INEQUALITIES IN THE LABOUR MARKET AND IN THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IN THE CONTEXT OF CURRENT SOCIAL CHANGES FOR A SELECTED SECTOR IN THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC (Nerovnosti na trhu práce a vo vzdelávacom systéme v kontexte súčasných sociálnych zmien vo vybranom sektore v Slovenskej republike)

Abstract: The presented paper analyzes the sector of transport, logistics, and postal services in the Slovak Republic in terms of inequalities in the labour market. In the first part, the author deals with the impact of innovation on human resources in the sector (describes the most important innovations for the sector in the coming years and gives an example of the impact of these innovations on human resources) and then points to labour market disparities due to staff shortages and high outflows. graduates to other sectors. For the purposes of the paper, the author's analyzes were evaluated in cooperation with an expert team, which is created within the national project Sector-Driven Innovation. The author of the paper is directly involved in the implementation of project activities and participates in the research of changes in the labour market caused by incoming innovations. These results are analyzed in combination with the national project Labour Market Forecasts II, the data of which point to disparities in the labour market in this sector. Through cooperation with representatives of the most important sectoral companies operating in the Slovak Republic, it is possible to indicate the highly real impact of innovations on the labour market over the next 10 years. Such findings are one of the most important sources for changes in the education system, which on the one hand prepares the future workforce for this sector and for relevant institutions providing lifelong learning to people who might otherwise be at risk of future changes.

Keywords: Forecasting, Innovation, Labour market, Education

DÁVID HOJDAN - TESTING HUMAN CAPITAL PROXIES IN THE SOLOW MODEL (Testovanie proxy indikátorov ľudského kapitálu v Solowovom modeli)

DÁVID HOJDAN - TESTING HUMAN CAPITAL PROXIES IN THE SOLOW MODEL (Testovanie proxy indikátorov ľudského kapitálu v Solowovom modeli)

Abstract: In their famous article, Mankiw, Romer and Weil (1992) concluded that estimates based on the augmented Solow model imply output elasticities of physical and human capital at about 0.3. When replicating the authors’ methodological approach to our own data, there is a significant overestimation of the impact of physical capital in recent periods compared to the conclusions of Mankiw, Romer and Weil (1992). We consider the main determinant of this overestimation to be an imperfectly chosen proxy variable, which does not capture well the stock of human capital essential for the current economic growth. In this paper, we tested four different proxy variables for human capital in the augmented Solow model. We found that the proportion of people with at least some tertiary education is the best variable in analyzing data between 1960 – 2000. When examining recent periods, the better proxy variable is the average length of schooling.

Keywords: Solow model, Human capital, Cross-sectional data

BARBORA DRUŽBACKÁ - TURKISH-CHINESE COOPERATION ON THE BELT & ROAD INITIATIVE (Turecko-čínska spolupráca v rámci iniciatívy Jedno pásmo, jedna cesta)

Abstract: China’s ambition to get to the top of the largest economies is obvious. This is also the reason in 2013 China launched the largest initiative in modern history – the Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) – to revive the ancient Silk Road using state-of-the-art technology and to connect the Eurasian continent. In this context, China has cooperated with many countries, including Turkey. China and Turkey have a history of complicated relations, but it turns out that it is the cooperation on the ongoing projects of the BRI that could improve relations. This article aims to highlight Turkey’s position in the BRI, describes relations between these countries, analyses mutual trade, Chinese investment in Turkish territory and focuses on major projects under the initiative. The results showed that countries in economic interest are deepening their mutual cooperation despite cultural and ethical problems, but there is a large imbalance in market reciprocity. The paper also points out the most important BRI projects, with the opening of the Baku–Tbilisi–Kars railway being identified as the most significant project implemented. This railway opens an alternative land route so-called southern branch of the New Silk Road. Turkey is becoming an important country as a gateway to Europe.

Keywords: Belt and Road Initiative, BRI, Cooperation, Investment, China, Turkey

VERONIKA PIOVARČI - THE EFFECT OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS ON HOUSEHOLD INDEBTEDNESS: EVIDENCE FROM SLOVAKIA (Socioekonomické a demografické faktory zadlženosti domácností na príklade Slovenska)

VERONIKA PIOVARČI - THE EFFECT OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS ON HOUSEHOLD INDEBTEDNESS: EVIDENCE FROM SLOVAKIA (Socioekonomické a demografické faktory zadlženosti domácností na príklade Slovenska)

Abstract: Lower interest rates and easier access to credit have elevated demand for debt over the last two decades. However, Slovak household indebtedness has increased most significantly among the European Union countries. Therefore, understanding the factors which drive Slovak households to the debt is crucial for policymakers, regulators, and financial institutions. The main goal was to analyse relevant socio-economic and demographic characteristics of indebted and non-indebted Slovak households. This analysis was based on microeconomic data collected through a survey on Household Financing and Consumption in 2017. Firstly, we performed a descriptive analysis which closer identified factors related to household indebtedness. Subsequently, a logistic regression model was tested based on univariate analysis. Then, we illustrated the significant average marginal effects of selected socio-economic and demographic factors on the probability of indebtedness of Slovak households graphically and numerically. After all, the results suggest that the likelihood of household participation in the credit market increases with increasing levels of wealth, while the level of household income does not have a statistically significant effect on debt distribution. Also, households with more members and households with two children are more likely to hold any debt. An opposite effect was observed in households where the reference person was economically inactive, achieved a higher level of education, or was older.

ANDRIANNA BALEHA - ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY OF THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR OF KAZAKHSTAN: REDUCTION, RECYCLING AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE IN THE COUNTRY (Environmentálna bezpečnosť priemyselného sektora Kazachstanu: zníženie, recyklovanie a likvidácia odpadu v krajine)

ANDRIANNA BALEHA - ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY OF THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR OF KAZAKHSTAN: REDUCTION, RECYCLING AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE IN THE COUNTRY (Environmentálna bezpečnosť priemyselného sektora Kazachstanu: zníženie, recyklovanie a likvidácia odpadu v krajine)

Abstract: The Republic of Kazakhstan is an economic leader in the region of Central Asia, and also belongs to the world leaders in the availability and production of natural resources. Oil, natural gas and black coal are the main export commodities of Kazakhstan. But in addition to economic growth, the mining and quarrying industry are significant sources of environmental pollution. The environmental safety of the Republic of Kazakhstan is also largely violated due to improper waste management. In this article, we analyzed the trend in the generation and waste management system in Kazakhstan for the period 2014 – 2019 and came to the conclusion that despite the increase in the cost of environmental protection and waste management, the ecological situation in the country needs careful monitoring and reform.

Keywords: Environmental safety, Waste management, Republic of Kazakhstan.

ANABELA LUPTÁKOVÁ - THE EUROPEAN UNION’S FOREIGN TRADE COOPERATION WITH EURASIAN ECONOMIC UNION: SELECTED INDICES (Spolupráca Európskej únie s Euroázijskou ekonomickou úniou v oblasti zahraničného obchodu: vybrané ukazovatele)

ANABELA LUPTÁKOVÁ - THE EUROPEAN UNION’S FOREIGN TRADE COOPERATION WITH EURASIAN ECONOMIC UNION: SELECTED INDICES (Spolupráca Európskej únie s Euroázijskou ekonomickou úniou v oblasti zahraničného obchodu: vybrané ukazovatele)

Abstract: The European Union (EU) has a long-term negative trade balance with the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The ongoing sanctions between the EU and Russia have affected trade relations also with the EAEU, as the EAEU is a customs union. Calculations of revealed comparative advantages and intra-industry trade between the EU and the EAEU illustrate how agrifood sanctions alter their trade cooperation in that commodity group. A significant decrease in the EU’s revealed comparative advantages of the EU in the commodity group of food, drinks and tobacco after 2014 was observed. During the last ten years, there was an increase in the index of intra-industry trade by 50% in the same group. The EU has a moderate revealed comparative advantage in the machinery and transport equipment, which is also its most exported item. On the contrary, the EU has comparative disadvantages in mineral fuels, which perform almost 70% of the total imports from the EAEU. The EAEU could be perceived as a vital partner for the EU, considering its strategic raw materials and geographical interconnectedness within the Eurasian continent.

Keywords: Eurasian Economic Union, European Union, Foreign trade, Intra-industry trade, Revealed comparative advantages.

Ján ŠEBO – Daniela DANKOVÁ – Ivan KRÁLIK - ARE AGE-BASED LIFE-CYCLE SAVING STRATEGIES FOR FUNDED PENSION SCHEMES A GOOD OPTION? (Sú sporivé stratégie založené na veku vhodným riešením pre kapitalizačné dôchodkové schémy?)

Ján ŠEBO – Daniela DANKOVÁ – Ivan KRÁLIK - ARE AGE-BASED LIFE-CYCLE SAVING STRATEGIES FOR FUNDED PENSION SCHEMES A GOOD OPTION? (Sú sporivé stratégie založené na veku vhodným riešením pre kapitalizačné dôchodkové schémy?)

Abstract:: Searching for the optimal saving strategy is often limited to life-cycle strategies, where only the age of a saver is considered for setting the allocation profile between equities and bonds. Our article contributes to the debate by looking at the performance and adequacy risks arising from applying age-based saving strategies for savers in funded pension schemes. Using the resampling simulation technique, we compare the fixed and age-based strategies from the point of performance, maximum draw-down occurring during the saving horizon and adequacy risk arising from applied saving strategy. We conclude that age-based life-cycle saving strategies, where the remaining saving horizon is the only factor defining the allocation profile is not the optimal saving strategy and other factor should be considered as well when searching for optimal predefined saving strategy.

Keywords: Funded pension, life-cycle strategy, microsimulation, performance, adequacy.

Karolína ČERVENÁ – Karin CAKOCI – Cecília OLEXOVÁ - TAXATION IN THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF EU MEMBERSHIP (Zdaňovanie v Slovenskej republike v kontexte členstva v EÚ)

Karolína ČERVENÁ – Karin CAKOCI – Cecília OLEXOVÁ - TAXATION IN THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF EU MEMBERSHIP (Zdaňovanie v Slovenskej republike v kontexte členstva v EÚ)

Abstract:: The current economic situation and prospects of EU Member States are the result of political and legal processes at both the international and the national levels. Good coordination between the political, legal and economic environments is a prerequisite for the efficient performance of each country’s economy. The tax policy, as one of the areas of national economic interests, affects the economic behavior of entities, thus affecting the performance of economic processes, both in positive and negative ways. New global economic, technology, environmental and other trends require also new multidisciplinary approach to the research and solutions in the area of tax policy. In connection with this paradigm, the authors of this article are focused on the tax policies within the context of economic, political and legal aspects, whereby their aim is a starting point for the fiscal policy approaches for the concept of tax policy in the Slovak Republic as an EU member country, pro futuro.

Keywords: Taxation, tax harmonization, European Union initiatives.

Róbert PATEJDL - EQUILIBRIUM OF THE DUOPOLY WITH LINEAR UTILITY FUNCTION OF THE DEMAND (Rovnováha duopolu s lineárnou úžitkovou funkciou dopytu)

Róbert PATEJDL - EQUILIBRIUM OF THE DUOPOLY WITH LINEAR UTILITY FUNCTION OF THE DEMAND (Rovnováha duopolu s lineárnou úžitkovou funkciou dopytu)

Abstract:: We have identified the limitation of the model of the market with linear utility function of the demand. Model of the market with perfectly substitutive products does not correspond to real world longterm markets, because it leads to negative profit for at least one of the companies. This negative profit is defined by the equilibrium of the market that we have derived from the best response functions of the companies by two concepts, the Nash equilibrium in pure strategies approach and the modeling of the considerations of the companies approach. Both concepts lead to the same outputs. We obtained the best response functions from the maximization of the profit of the particular companies and from the particular demand functions for the products. We were able to prove that the rational company with relatively higher or equal variable cost will always set the price of the product to the level of the variable costs. We suggest other utility function, e.g. quasilinear, to be used to analyze the competition on real long lasting markets.

Keywords: Competition, duopoly, Linear utility function, perfect substitutes, demand function, best response function, optimal Pricing, equilibrium, Nash equilibrium.

Abstract:: The unexpected situation in 2020 due to a pandemic paralyzed the whole world. The economic freedom plays a key role in the development of countries. The aim of the paper is to determine the position of the EU 27 countries and the United Kingdom on the basis of selected indicators and evaluate the development of economic freedom of the EU 27 countries and the United Kingdom, in connection with the current post-Brexit negotiations. To achieve the aim, research methods such as analysis, comparison, induction, deduction and mathematical-statistical methods were used. We compared the achieved values of the EFI for the United Kingdom, the EU 27, Europe and world. The United Kingdom and the EU 27 countries belong to the group of mostly free economies. As a consequence of the pandemic is expected a deep recession of the world economy. The United Kingdom recorded the largest decline in its entire history in April, by 20.4 %.

Keywords: European Union, Global Competitiveness Index 4.0, Index of Economic Freedom, Index of Doing business, United Kingdom.

Lujza CHRVALOVÁ - INDIA AS AN ACTOR IN CONVENTIONAL ARMS TRADE AND CONTROL (India ako aktívny účastník obchodu s konvenčnými zbraňami a ich kontroly)

Lujza CHRVALOVÁ - INDIA AS AN ACTOR IN CONVENTIONAL ARMS TRADE AND CONTROL (India ako aktívny účastník obchodu s konvenčnými zbraňami a ich kontroly)

Abstract:: India has undergone enormous developments in the field of conventional weapons since independence in the mid-twentieth century and is currently one of the leading importers of weapons, and is constantly advancing in the development of modern military technology. Its development as well as the current situation in trade and control of conventional arms transfers is influenced by several historical, strategic, geographical and economic variables.

Jan MERTL - WHY DO THE HEALTH SYSTEMS DIFFER? KAREL ENGLIŠ’S TELEOLOGICAL APPROACH AS THE EXPLANATION OF HEALTH SYSTEMS’ DIVERSITY (Prečo sa zdravotnícke systémy odlišujú? Teleologický prístup Karola Engliša ako vysvetlenie rozmanitosti zdravotníckych systémov)

Jan MERTL - WHY DO THE HEALTH SYSTEMS DIFFER? KAREL ENGLIŠ’S TELEOLOGICAL APPROACH AS THE EXPLANATION OF HEALTH SYSTEMS’ DIVERSITY (Prečo sa zdravotnícke systémy odlišujú? Teleologický prístup Karola Engliša ako vysvetlenie rozmanitosti zdravotníckych systémov)

Abstract:: This article’s aim is to reintroduce the teleological approach formulated by professor Karel Engliš hundred years ago indicating it as a valuable analytical tool for social systems, including the health one. Engliš enriched the positive and normative approach of scientific analysis with teleological one, using postulates based on the principle of finality, and distinguished it both from positive causality and narrow normative measures or legal norms. Because health economics has been often struggling with managing the plurality of health systems, it is worth searching in theory for approaches that may improve this deficit and Engliš’s approach has shown as perfectly suitable for this purpose. We therefore subsequently explain its logic, which was thoroughly defended by Engliš in the literature in 1920s and 1930s. Then we look for specific attributes of four different health systems (the USA, the Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain) from teleological point of view and sum them up into a table which briefly combines social models, fiscal and tax policy measures, and ideals/postulates that those systems are based on. The result is better understanding of the health systems configuration and solid theoretical knowledge behind it, easing the need for finding the optimal or “most effective” health system by recognizing that more important is to know which properties and characteristics it ought to have and which principles it is built on.

Keywords: Fiscal policy, teleological approach, health insurance, social model, health system.
