The paper presents the results of a multicultural economic experiment executed in the Czech Republic and Russia. The experiment was focused on studying the behaviour of economic agents in a situation simulating a charitable lottery. From Dale’s (2004) experimental design, we adopted the fixed-prize lottery (raffle) structure, in which tickets are sold for chances of winning a prize. This means that the more tickets one buy, the higher probability to win he gains. We introduced a new scheme – the modified fixed-prize lottery - within which the chance of winning was equal for all contributing individuals. Our results show that such a structure is not effective, that is, that individuals contribute considerably less under the modified fixed-prize lottery than under the classic raffle.

The submitted paper concentrates on the methodical aspects of measuring the relationship between potential competitiveness factors and the corporate competitiveness. The authors employ methods of statistical pattern recognition, particularly the sequential forward flow search algorithm (SFFS). The algorithm is applied on data from 432 companies. For these companies there was known their financial performance and there was up to 683 (each company) potential factors of this performance in authors ´s database. The text therefore summarizes the known approaches, describes the SFFS algorithm and proves its contribution to this field of research. An undeniable advantage of this method is its low demands on data: it does not require the normality or an a priori model. Also, it is able to evaluate relationships among many variables at once in acceptable time frame. The article presents the drawbacks of this method as well.

Non-profit institutions are characterized by their multi-source funding. There are numerous publications on this issue, including discussions concerning the public funding impact on their behaviour. The situation in (post)transformation countries is specific. The ongoing process of re-definition of the role of the non-profit institutions (NPIs) play and the consequent question of public support has not been studied with the appropriate data. We designed a survey by which we mapped how the amount and structure of the sources of non-profit institutions changed in the Czech context between 2008 and 2013. Our results show that although the average revenue of a non-profit organization within this particular time period increased, the relative importance of public funding did not change. However, there are rather large differences between the subjects of the survey based on industry.

Due to their heavy dependence on financial support from the public sector and close links to a wide range of government policies, non-profit organisations (NPOs) are becoming increasingly state-oriented. Although economic experts have striven to empirically test whether public funding of the non-profit sector (NPS) supports private philanthropy or, on the contrary, crowds-it out, there is no comprehensive research of this type within the Czech Republic. In connection with these blank areas in theories on the Czech non-profit sector, we pose the following question: How does public financing of NPOs influence the amount of private donations that these organisations receive? To answer this question, we conducted our own research (n = 483). The results demonstrate a crowding-out effect for public resources but not for other types of financing sources, such as revenues from the organisation’s own activity and commercial revenues.
