The heterogeneous consequences of reduced labor costs on firm productivity
Del Prato, F.; Zacchia, Paolo
2024 - English
We document how a reduction in labor costs led to heterogeneous effects on the total factor productivity (TFP) of manufacturing firms. Leveraging an Italian labor legislation reform and unique institutional features of the local collective bargaining system, we show that such effects vary along the TFP distribution. Relative to the counterfactual, TFP markedly declines on the left tail, which we explain via selection mechanisms, on the right, TFP mildly increases as firms are able to expand and reallocate their workforce. To guide the evaluation of welfare implications, we develop a general equilibrium model featuring firm selection and frictions in input markets.

Palingeneze - obnovení všeho? (Matouš 19,28)
Dus, Jan A
2024 - Czech
V Matoušově verzi Ježíšova zaslíbení (Mt 19,28–30) oproti Markovi a Lukášovi chybí výslovná zmínka o přítomnosti: restituce všeho, co Ježíšovi následovníci opustili, se tak posouvá až do budoucnosti, ve které se chopí vlády spolu se Synem člověka. V zaslíbení figuruje raritní pojem „palingeneze“, jehož bližší časové a věcné určení nelze ze samotného souvětí odvodit. Zatímco v Mt 19,28 je palingeneze podle převažujícího výkladu synonymem pro budoucí obnovu veškerenstva, v Tt 3,5 (jediný další výskyt v NZ) odkazuje totéž slovo na znovuzrození některých lidí, ke kterému došlo v minulosti (při křtu). Ani nebiblická literatura nepřináší jednoznačný precedens – palingeneze bývá zasazována jak do minulosti, tak i do budoucnosti, týká se jak světa, tak i jednotlivců či skupin (Izraele). – Syntax a interpunkce řeckého souvětí ukazují, že oba výklady jsou rovnocenné: palingenezi lze vztáhnout buď (A) k následujícímu výrazu pro „usednutí (Syna člověka na trůn)“, tedy do budoucnosti, anebo (B) k předchozímu výrazu pro „následování (učedníků za Ježíšem)“, tedy do minulosti, kromě toho existuje (C) výklad otevřený. V řeckých, latinských a českých verzích ze 16. století jsou zastoupeny všechny možnosti: Erasmus interpunkčně opravuje Vulgátu (B), Beza nejprve respektuje Vulgátu (A), v anotacích však zvažuje druhé řešení (B), ve čtvrtém a pátém vydání nakonec nechává věc otevřenou (C), v dilematu mezi Vulgátou a Erasmem váhají i dva české překlady z první poloviny 16. stol. (náměšťský 1533, melantrišský 1556/57) (C), většina bratrských překladů počínaje Blahoslavem (1564) se odchyluje od Vulgáty (B), jen kralická Šestidílka (1593/94) váhá (C), v Šestidílce i v kralickém Novém zákoně z r. 1601 Bratří věnují oběma výkladům rovnocennou pozornost v poměrně rozsáhlé poznámce, která je pro svou vyváženost pěkným dokladem intelektuální otevřenosti a tolerance, podobně jako Beza připojují k výkladu (B) nový aspekt: palingeneze může znamenat obnovení celého světa díky evangeliu a prvnímu příchodu Mesiáše. – Vzhledem k dynamickému vývoji v 16. století je překvapivé, že všech deset sledovaných českých překladů z období kolem 20. století se shoduje jen na jedné variantě (A). Zdá se, že variantě (B) hrozí nespravedlivé zapomenutí. Proto si na závěr dovolujeme navrhnout nový, poněkud volnější překlad či parafrázi verše Mt 19,28 v kralickém duchu: „Amen, pravím vám, vy jste šli za mnou, když jsem přišel obnovit svět evangeliem, a až Syn člověka usedne na trůn své slávy, budete to zase vy, kdo usednete na dvanáct trůnů a budete soudit dvanáct kmenů Izraele.“ In Matthew’s version of Jesus’ promise (Matthew 19:28–30), in contrast to Mark and Luke, there is no explicit mention of the present time, the restitution of all that the followers of Jesus left behind is thus pushed forward to the future, in which they will take over the reigns with the Son of Man. The promise features the rare term “palingenesis”, whose precise temporal and factual determination cannot be deduced from the sentence itself. While in Mt 19:28 palingenesis is, according to the prevailing interpretation, a synonym for the future restoration of the universe, in Tit 3:5 (the only other occurrence in the NT) the same word refers to the rebirth of some people that took place in the past (at baptism). Even non-biblical literature does not provide a clear precedent - palingenesis tends to be set both in the past and in the future, it concerns both the world and individuals or groups (Israel). – The syntax and punctuation of the Greek sentence show that both interpretations are equally possible: palingenesis can be related either (A) to the following verbal form “sitting (the Son of Man on the throne)”, i.e. to the future, or (B) to the preceding verbal form “following (disciples behind Jesus)”, i.e. into the past, in addition, there is a third, open option (C). In the 16th-century Greek, Latin, and Czech versions, all possibilities are represented: Erasmus punctuates the Vulgate differently (B), Beza first respects the Vulgate (A), but in his Annotations he considers the second solution (B), in the fourth and fifth editions he finally leaves the matter open (C), two Czech translations from the first half of the 16th century (Náměšť 1533, Melantrich 1556/57) hesitate in the dilemma between the Vulgate and Erasmus (C), most Brethren translations starting with Blahoslav (1564) deviate from the Vulgate (B), only the Six-Volume Kralice Bible from 1593/94 (“Kralická Šestidílka”) hesitates (C), in “Kralická Šestidílka” and in the Kralice New Testament from 1601 the Brethren pay equal attention to both interpretations in a rather extensive note, which, for its balance, is a nice proof of intellectual openness and tolerance. Like Beza, the Brethren add a new aspect to interpretation (B): palingenesis can mean the renewal of the whole world thanks to the Gospel and the first coming of the Messiah. – Considering the dynamic development in the 16th century, it is surprising that all ten tracked Czech translations from around the 20th century agree on only one variant (A). Option (B) seems to be in danger of unfair oblivion. Therefore, in conclusion, we allow ourselves to propose a new, somewhat looser translation or paraphrase of verse Mt 19:28 in the spirit of Kralice: “Amen, I say to you, it was you who followed me when I came to renew the world with the gospel, and when the Son of Man sits on the throne of his glory, it will be you again who will sit on twelve thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.” Keywords: palingenesis; Gospel of Matthew; Kralice Bible; Erasmus of Rotterdam; Theodore Beza; Vulgate; Czech Bible translations Available at various institutes of the ASCR

COVID-19 and political preferences through stages of the pandemic: the case of the Czech Republic
Bičáková, Alena; Jurajda, Štěpán
2024 - English
We track the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on political preferences through ‘high’ and ‘low’ phases of the pandemic. We ask about the effects of the health and the economic costs of the pandemic measured at both personal and municipality levels. Consistent with the literature, we estimate effects suggestive of political accountability of leaders during ‘high’ pandemic phases. However, we also find that the pandemic political accountability effects are mostly short-lived, and do not extend to the first post-pandemic elections. Keywords: COVID-19; political preferences; election outcomes Fulltext is available at external website.

(Ne)zájem žáků o učitelskou profesi: mezinárodní srovnání
Federičová, Miroslava
2024 - Czech
Mnoho evropských zemí včetně Česka se v současnosti potýká s nedostatkem učitelů, těch kvalitních obzvlášť. Jedním z řešení je podpora učitelských profesních aspirací už u mladých během jejich studia na základní a střední škole. Tato studie empiricky mapuje učitelské aspirace v evropských zemích mezi 15letými žáky na základě dat z mezinárodního šetření PISA. Many European countries, including the Czech Republic, currently face a shortage of teachers, especially quality teachers. One possible solution to this would be to support aspiring teachers at a younger age, during their studies at primary and secondary school. This study provides an empirical overview of teaching aspirations among 15-year-old school pupils in European countries based on data from the international PISA survey. Keywords: teachers; teaching aspirations; international comparison Fulltext is available at external website.

Collective vs. family remembrance: evidence from two Russian betrayals
Gharibyan, Sinara
2024 - English
Is family or collective remembrance of the distant past more powerful in shaping current behavior? To answer this question, I link two historical episodes from Armenian history separated by a century. During both World War I (WWI) and the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War, Russia was anticipated to provide military support to Armenia, its ally, but failed to do so. I demonstrate that the memories of the first Russian betrayal were activated after the second war. I identify family memory of the first betrayal using distinct West Armenian (Ottoman Armenian) surnames and proxy collective memory through locations renamed to commemorate lost Armenian localities during WWI. The difference-in-differences (DiD) approach shows that both family and collective remembrance negatively affect pro-Russian parties’ vote share, with all the conventional assumptions of DiD verified. Family remembrance influences behavior through traumatic recall, whereas collective remembrance operates via social capital.

Matching to suppliers in the production network: an empirical framework
Alfaro-Ureña, A.; Zacchia, Paolo
2024 - English
This paper develops a framework for the empirical analysis of the determinants of input supplier choice on the extensive margin using firm-to-firm transaction data. Building on a theoretical model of production network formation, we characterize the assumptions that enable a transformation of the multinomial logit likelihood function from which the seller fixed effects, which encode the seller marginal costs, vanish. This transformation conditions, for each subnetwork restricted to one supplier industry, on the out-degree of sellers (a sufficient statistic for the seller fixed effect) and the in-degree of buyers (which is pinned down by technology and by “make-or-buy” decisions). This approach delivers a consistent estimator for the effect of dyadic explanatory variables, which in our model are interpreted as matching frictions, on the supplier choice probability. The estimator is easy to implement and in Monte Carlo simulations it outperforms alternatives based on group fixed effects. In an empirical application about the effect of a major Costa Rican infrastructural project on firm-to-firm connections, our approach yields estimates typically much smaller in magnitude than those from naive multinomial logit.

Disappearing stepping stones: technological change and career paths
Kashkarov, Daniil; Artemev, V.
2024 - English
Which career paths lead workers towards high-skilled non-routine cognitive occupations? Using PSID data, we show that, for a significant share of workers, a career path towards non-routine cognitive occupations goes through middle-skilled routine occupations, with the majority going through a subset of routine cognitive occupations. We then argue that the decline in employment in routine cognitive occupations due to routine-biased technological change can negatively affect the chances of younger cohorts joining high-skilled occupations. To test this hypothesis, we develop a structural occupational choice model that endogenously generates realistic career paths and estimate it using PSID data and job ad data from three major US outlets covering the period from 1940 to 2000. Our estimations suggest that, on average, 6% of workers ending up in non-routine cognitive occupations use routine cognitive occupations as stepping stones that allow them to maintain and accumulate human capital and experience relevant for later employment in high-skilled occupations. A fall in employment opportunities in routine cognitive occupations over the period of the most intensive routine-biased technological change led to at least 1.37 million lost high-skilled workers who got stuck in less skilled occupations.
