EVALUATION AND MODELLING
The evaluation of the effectiveness of regulations and state interventions in the economy is a significant branch of applied economic analysis. The research mainly includes economic, environmental and social questions at the policy, program and particular projects levels. The increasing pressure on the assurance of balancing public finances is taken into account. On the one hand in many countries public finances have a deficit character, on the other hand the majority of governments are becoming aware of the fact, that the tax burden or other revenues of state or public budgets is impossible to increase in a significant way. This situation makes governments consider the extent and manner of their interventions in the economy. The other motivation for these analyses is an effort to decrease the administrative burden on businessmen in relation to state regulation (this is the subject of the Regulatory Impact Assessment). The IEEP is concerned with regulation impacts and effectiveness in the long term. As an important instrument for researching these effects the IEEP constructs and sustains model instruments: the CGE model and the econometric model of the economy.
The project is focused on evaluating the regulatory impacts (RIA) on public projects and programmes. The main problem by RIA implementation is a cost-benefit analysis, especially in the case of projects realized by public administration. In the first part the project is concerned with different ...
Dynamic changes in environmental protection during the transformation period had a significant impact on macroeconomic variables in the Czech Republic. The introduction of strict limits for dangerous substances emissions or increased demands on the quality of water treatment plants caused ...
For a long time the real long-term asset prices in Czechoslovakia and in the Czech Republic have not been developed in an environment which would, at least approximately, be similar to a market environment. After 1991, when a far-reaching deregulation took place, the prices started developing ...
Creating a medium extensive model for computing general equilibrium (CGE model) for the Czech economy.
The project is based on an analysis of the Czech economy’s trend according to the existing scenarios and forecasts. The emphasis is placed on verifying its consistence in order to create a Pre-Accession Programme.
Analysis of monetary policy and causalities between the policy and the economic slump in the late nineties in the Czech Republic.
The project analyses the trend of selected macroeconomic aggregates (GDP, employment, inflation, external imbalance and exchange rate) and selected cost items (labour cost, energy cost etc.) with an accent on projection up to 2001.
The process of approximating Czech legislation required developing a position analysis of the Czech Republic in relation to the EC laws.
