The American origin of the French Revolution
Ottinger, Sebastian; Rosenberger, L.
2024 - English
We show that the French combatants’ exposure to the United States increased support for the French Revolution a decade later. French regions from which more American combatants originated had more revolts against feudal institutions, revolutionary societies, volunteers for the revolutionary army, and emigrants from the Old Regime’s elite. To establish causality, we exploit two historical coincidences: i) originally, a French army of seven and a half thousand was ready to sail, but one-third did not, ii) among those deployed, only some regiments were stationed in New England. Only combatants exposed to New England affected the French Revolution after their return.

Survey expectations, adaptive learning and inflation dynamics
Rychalovska, Y.; Slobodyan, Sergey; Wouters, R.
2024 - English
The use of survey information on inflation expectations as an observable in a DSGE model can substantially refine identification of the shocks that drive inflation. Optimal integration of the survey information improves the model forecast for inflation and for other macroeconomic variables. Models with expectations based on an Adaptive Learning setup can exploit survey information more efficiently than their Rational Expectations counterparts. The resulting time-variation in the perceived inflation target, in inflation persistence, and in the sensitivity of inflation to various shocks provide a rich and consistent description of the joint dynamics of realized and expected inflation. Our framework produces a reasonable interpretation of the post-Covid inflation dynamics. Our learning model successfully identifies the more persistent nature of the recent inflation surge.

Hospodaření a finanční spokojenost českých domácností
Fialová, Kamila; Mysíková, Martina
2024 - Czech
Finanční hospodaření domácností je komplexní proces, ve kterém hrají roli různorodé faktory ovlivňující finanční zdraví domácnosti. Těmito faktory jsou v první řadě výše příjmu a výdajů domácností včetně způsobu zajištění bydlení, velikost a struktura domácností, vzdělání či finanční gramotnost. Důležitým aspektem hospodaření je vyrovnanost rozpočtu, která vychází z rozdělení finančních zdrojů mezi pravidelné výdaje pokrývající základní potřeby, luxusnější a nepravidelné výdaje a případně také úspory. Vyrovnanost rozpočtu ovlivňuje finanční stabilitu domácnosti a její vyhlídky do budoucna. V případě vícečlenných domácností může být dalším důležitým aspektem rozdělení příjmů v rámci domácnosti, které může ovlivnit nejen finanční blahobyt jednotlivých členů, ale může mít i širší dopady. \nMezinárodně srovnatelná data Eurostatu za rok 2018 ukazují, že Češi mezi evropskými národy patří k těm průměrně spokojeným se svou finanční situací. Češi na škále od 0 do 10 průměrně hodnotili svoji finanční spokojenost známkou 6,7, zatímco evropský průměr byl 6,6. Čeští muži (6,8) byli o něco spokojenější než ženy (6,6). Od roku 2013 byl v datech patrný výrazný růst finanční spokojenosti českých domácností z průměrného hodnocení 6,0. \nData z výběrového šetření IPSOS v roce 2023 hodnotí finanční spokojenost Čechů v průměru známkou 5,5 (na stejné škále od 0 do 10), přičemž muži jsou opět více spokojeni (5,7) než ženy (5,3). Zhruba třetina respondentů je se svou finanční situací velmi či spíše nespokojena (0–4), více než polovina respondentů je se svou finanční situací naopak spíše či velmi spokojena (6–10).\nVýsledky regresní analýzy ukazují, že demografické charakteristiky jako pohlaví, věk, vzdělání či přítomnost dětí nemají na finanční spokojenost vliv. Obecně jsou se svou finanční situací spokojenější lidé žijící s partnerem/partnerkou a svobodní než rozvedení a ovdovělí. \nStěžejními faktory ovlivňujícími finanční spokojenost Čechů je výše příjmů domácnosti a to jak s nimi vychází, tedy „plusový“ rozpočet, stejně jako vytváření krátkodobé či dlouhodobé finanční rezervy. Splácení hypotéky či placení nájmu finanční spokojenost významně nesnižuje. Splácení úvěrů významně snižuje finanční spokojenost žen žijících v páru. \n Household financial management is a complex process in which a variety of factors play a role in influencing household financial health. These factors are primarily the level of household income and expenditure, including the way in which housing is provided, household size and structure, education and financial literacy. An important aspect of household management is the balance of the budget, which is based on the distribution of financial resources between recurrent expenditure covering basic needs, more luxurious and irregular expenditure, and possibly also savings. Budget balance affects the financial stability of a household and its future prospects. In the case of households with more members, the distribution of income within the household can be another important aspect, which can affect not only the financial well-being of individual members but also have wider implications. \nInternationally comparable Eurostat data for 2018 show that Czechs have an average level of financial satisfaction among European nations. On a scale of 0 to 10, Czechs on average rated their financial satisfaction as 6.7, while the European average was 6.6. Czech men (6.8) were slightly more satisfied than women (6.6). Since 2013, the data showed a significant increase in the financial satisfaction of Czech households from an average rating of 6.0. \nData from the 2023 IPSOS sample survey rate the financial satisfaction of Czechs as 5.5 on average (on the same scale from 0 to 10), with men again more satisfied (5.7) than women (5.3). Roughly one-third of respondents are very or rather dissatisfied with their financial situation (0-4), while more than half of respondents are rather or very satisfied with their financial situation (6-10).\nThe results of the regression analysis show that demographic characteristics such as gender, age, education or presence of children do not affect financial satisfaction. In general, people living with a spouse/partner and single individuals are more satisfied with their financial situation than those divorced and widowed. \nThe key factors influencing financial satisfaction are the amount of household income and how they manage it, as well as the accumulation of short-term or long-term financial reserves. Paying a mortgage or rent does not significantly reduce financial satisfaction. Repaying loans significantly reduces financial satisfaction for women living as a couple.\n

Forced migration and crime: evidence from the 2014 immigration wave to Russia
Shcherbov, Arsenii
2024 - English
Recent years have spurred significant migration movements, underscoring the need to understand their impacts. This study explores a widely-debated correlation between crime and migration. Specifically, I investigate the 2014 migration wave, studying the response of Russian crime rates to the influx of immigrants from Ukraine. I approximate local crime rates using court data on sentencing decisions and describe relevant migration flows with internet search activity. The application of the difference-in-differences method reveals positive effects for property crime sentencing and the heterogeneous response of violent crime sentencing. The findings of this study are policy-relevant and could prove beneficial in understanding and mitigating the effects of future migration waves.

Winning culture, winning future: the effects of early-career success on long-run performance
Trestcov, Ivan; Rakhmetova, Aizhamal
2024 - English
This paper investigates the influence of early-career environments on long-run performance. Utilizing quasi-randomness of the NBA Draft Lottery system, we isolate the impacts of initial team success, coaching experience, and the presence of a star player during a basketball player’s debut season. Our findings underscore the significant positive effects of early team wins and experienced coaches on future player performance. Surprisingly, playing alongside a star player in the first year does not show a strong influence. This study offers insights that extend beyond sports, emphasizing the lasting effects of early professional experience and mentorship on career trajectories.

Flow simulations approach for flocculation tanks
Idžakovičová, Kristýna; Bílek, Vojtěch; Haidl, Jan; Isoz, M.; Pivokonský, Martin
2024 - English
Flocculation in water treatment facilities plays a key role in the separation of colloidal inorganic and organic substances. Its optimization leads to a significant increase in its efficiency and savings of operational costs. However, it is currently based on trial-and-error experimental approaches. In this contribution, we focus on flow modeling in stirred flocculation tanks that would, after coupling with a calibrated model of particle aggregation, enable simulationbased flocculation optimization. Despite the abundance of literature on stirred tank modeling, there is no universal agreement on the methodology used to describe turbulence nor on the approach to the computational mesh creation. Consequently, there is no unified methodology for simulations and their validation. To address this, we present a best-practice methodology for economical, yet reliable flow simulations in the said device. This methodology includes the choice of the turbulence model, the approach to the design of a high quality mesh suitable for arbitrary geometries, and results evaluation. It is developed based on an extensive literature review, a multitude of flow simulations using several meshes of progressively higher quality and resolution, and various strategies to converge to steady-state flow conditions. The simulation quality indicators used here involve comparison with the experimental data on fluid velocity, stirrer power output, and flow rate through the impeller zone. Additionally, the resulting flow simulation models are compared using tracer transport simulations, hinting at their potential for coupling with particle aggregation models.
