The European energy crisis and the US natural gas market dynamics. A structural VAR investigation
(2024-03)
The Russian invasion of Ukraine triggered severe disruptions in the European energy markets and caused significant shifts in global natural gas flows. In this paper we investigate to what extent this European shock has ...
Learning, experimentation and the convergence of the discovered preferences
(2024-03)
In this article I study whether the interim preferences of the consumer can be expected to converge to their real preferences in the process of preference discovery. I construct a subjective expected utility model of the ...
Global Value Chains and Equilibrium Exchange Rate: Evidence from Central European Economies
(2024-03)
This paper proposes an extension of the fundamental equilibrium exchange rate (FEER) model that accounts for the trade linkages within the Global Value Chains (GVCs). In the modified FEER framework, both backward and forward ...
Is panel Currency Demand equation homogeneous, why not, and what it means for shadow economy measurement
(2025-01)
Currency Demand Analysis – one of the most popular macroeconometric techniques of shadow economy (SE) measurement – builds on equation explaining the share of cash in circulation in broader monetary aggregates, estimated ...

(2016-04)
In most of the religions the preservation of own, God-given, life is obligatory. The time-trade-off method (TTO) forces to voluntarily forego life years. We verify if this is a problem for the religious and how it impacts ...

Efficiency in spatially disaggregated labour market matching
(2016-05)
We analyse the efficiency in a labour market matching process. We contribute to the literature by comparing different spatial aggregation levels - NUTS-1 to NUTS-4 and analysing monthly and annual perspectives. We use data ...
Does inflation matter? The influence of perceived price changes on well-being
(2023-03)
I confirm the foregoing state of the art for inflation and well-being correlation while filling the gap in the literature and estimating the effects of individuals’ inflation perception on well-being. I also discover the ...
Weighting Sub-Populations in Longevity Inequality Research: A Practical Approach
(2017-08)
The weights allowing calculation of life expectancy for a whole population as a weighted average of group-specific life expectancies are proposed. They are characterized by a
minimum distance from the actual population ...
Are Ideas Really Getting Harder To Find? R&D Capital and the Idea Production Function
(2022-02)
We supplement the 'Idea Production Function' (IPF) with measures of R&D capital. We construct a time series of R&D capital stock in the US (1968-2019) based on cumulated R&D investment. We estimate the IPF with patent ...
