The Czech economy has been significantly affected by the global economic crisis since the second half of 2008. The Czech economy is strongly dependant on the motor vehicles industry, the sector severely hit by the crisis. There are not only three major automobile companies in the Czech Republic (Škoda Auto Mladá Boleslav, TPCA Czech Kolín and Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Czech Nošovice), but there are also many subcontractors. The Vysočina Region, the model territory used in this article, has several such major companies. This fact had quite a significant impact on the economic situation in the Vysočina Region during the crisis. The paper also examines individual anti-crisis measures adopted by the largest subcontractor to the motor vehicle industry in the region, Bosch Diesel s.r.o. Jihlava.This paper was elaborated under the students’ support project at the Faculty of Science, “Strengthening and Improving Students Creative Work in the Fields of Mathematics, Physics and Earth Science “(KVAS-MPG). The project is funded by Masaryk University and it is aimed at supporting student projects at MU (MUNI/A/1060/2009)

The turn of the century brought significant changes in the regional structure of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Rationale, objectives, principles and factors of development in this part of the continent underwent a fundamental reorientation. The transformation caused what previously were strengths in some countries to became a hard to overcome barriers, causing underdevelopment and lack of prospects. On the other hand, decentralization of management and freeing of initiative on the part of the populations created an important stimulus which reinforces the development dynamics. Great expectations, but also fear accompanied the process of accession to the European Community, which - accepting as its members economically backward, post-communist countries - undertook to support their development in accordance with the principle of economic, social and territorial cohesion. This task proved difficult, and controversial from the standpoint of both the "old" and "new" European Union. The analysis of statistical data indicates that the region of Central and Eastern Europe is not homogeneous. CEE countries differ not only in the size of their economies, but also in the level of economic development. This was seen especially during the economic crisis the first decade of the XXI century.

Purpose: The main target of this paper is to present the implementation of the innovation policy in Poland during the last financial and economic crisis. The main hypothesis is an assumption that if innovative activity is one of the ways of overcoming the current economic crisis, the government’s innovation policy should strongly support such activity. Methodology: The verification of the hypothesis is based on an analysis of theoretical and empirical research conducted by governmental and non-governmental institutions. Results: The analysis of literature as well as research conducted by governmental and non-governmental institutions showed that the innovation policy in Poland is undergoing a deep transition. The effects of the policy are currently insufficient. Originality: Despite substantial domestic and foreign literature about the role, targets and effects of innovation policy, there is a lack of analysis of this issue during the time of the current economic crisis.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie, jak kształtowała się liczba upadłości przedsiębiorstw prywatnych w Polsce w okresie spowolnienia gospodarczego w latach 2008–2012. Przyjęto hipo-tezę badawczą dotyczącą większego zagrożenia upadłością podczas spowolnienia gospodarczego małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw. W opracowaniu zasygnalizowano problem z rzetelnym ukaza-niem skali zjawiska upadłości, wynikającym z nieuwzględniania w statystykach upadłościowych kończących działalność firm, które nie przeprowadzają sądowego postępowania upadłościowego. Problem ten ukazano zestawiając dane dotyczące liczby sądowych postanowień o upadłości z danymi na temat podmiotów gospodarczych wykreślonych z Krajowego Rejestru Urzędowego Podmiotów Gospodarki Narodowej (REGON). Pomimo że nie pokazują tego statystyki upadłościowe, trudności doświadczane przez sektor MŚP w warunkach spowolnienia gospodarczego częściej niż w przypad-ku dużych przedsiębiorstw skutkują zakończeniem działalności. Znajduje to odzwierciedlenie w liczbie podmiotów gospodarczych wykreślonych z rejestru REGON, w których dominującą część stanowią właśnie osoby fizyczne prowadzące działalność gospodarczą (96%). Przeprowadzona w pracy analiza danych statystycznych pozwoliła również na wskazanie branż silnie uzależnionych od koniunktury gospodarczej (przemysł, budownictwo) oraz na określenie procentowego udziału poszczególnych form organizacyjno-prawnych przedsiębiorstw w statystykach upadłości. Czynni-kiem zwiększającym lub zmniejszającym zagrożenie upadłością w okresie spowolnienia gospodar-czego nie jest natomiast lokalizacja w określonym województwie.

The aim of the article is to present the development of a number of bankrupt private companies in Poland during the economical slowdown from 2008 till 2012. A hypothesis has been formulated concerning increased risk of bankruptcy during slowdown in the small business. The study indicates difficulty to present a honest presentation of the scale of bankrupt phenomenon resulting from a the fact that statistics omit the bankrupt companies which did not conducted judicial proceedings on bankruptcy. The problem has been clarified by compiling the data concerning the number of court’s ruling of bankruptcy with the data on the companies that were deleted from the The National Official Register of the Nationalised Industries Units KRUPGN (REGON). Despite the fact that it is not presented in statistics about bankruptcy, small businesses more often than companies employing more than 250 employees contribute to the number of companies ending the business activity. That has been reflected in the number of companies deleted from the KRUPGN (REGON) from which the vast majority are the natural person conducting business activities (96%). Statistical data analysis presented in the article allowed also to indicate the trades which depend on the economic situation (industry, construction), as well as to determine the percentage participation of organizational and legal frame of businesses activity in the bankruptcy statistics. The factor of increasing or decreasing the risk of bankruptcy in the period of economic slowdown is not determined by the location in a particular voivodeship

Social housing in Italy, its historical and recent developments, and its criticalities are discussed considering both the pre- and the post-crisis period. The main effects of the crisis on Italian households and the exacerbating of housing problems are also analysed. A critical review of the main policy instruments implemented before and after the crisis is provided, with a special focus on new models of intervention. It is not clear how the housing needs of low income households will be addressed in the near future. Traditional public-managed social housing has been left with insufficient resources while the newly-built affordable housing sector is mainly targeting mid-income households. Several new policy instruments have been deployed and billions of euros invested. Nevertheless, it is still difficult to observe a consistent strategy oriented to increasing the level of social protection in the housing domain, beyond the conventional management of “emergencies”.

Human trafficking is one of the most profitable spheres of national and transnational organized group activities and, according to specialists, it occupies the third place after drug and arms trafficking. The author provides an analysis of the main factors influencing the development of human trafficking as well as the way of fighting against that criminal activity during the financial crisis by the example of the Russian Federation, the USA and some other countries. These factors are divided into four groups: human trafficking supply, human trafficking demand, criminal activity environment, law enforcement activity. The factors are applied to both the countries of origin and the countries of destination. A few indexes are considered, such as unemployment, level of salary, minimum needs, level of remittances from legal and illegal migrants, national, international and private investment into the human trafficking fight, internet development, visa requirements, lax law enforcement. The analysis covers different types of human trafficking such as sex and labor trafficking, child labor and sex exploitation at the international and national levels. The author draws certain conclusions about a possible development of these types of human trafficking, including the internal trafficking, considering the economical and social changes caused by the world financial crisis.

Resilience of any area in question is linked with its structure, which is being built and rebuilt over the years. For instance, Košice city reinforces for most sector of Information, communication and as well its sector of Art, entertainment and recreation. After implementing strategy of reinforcement the city can be better up to the task to cope with shocks. Similarly other areas, this paper was trying to shed light on this topic by implementing methodology of localization quotient and using data for seven cities in Eastern Slovak Republic. The analysis provides comparison in structure and resilience potential of cities in terms of employment.

Among the foundations of the currently prevailing economic model is the assumption of rationality of decisions taken by a far-sighted and calculating human being - homo oeconomicus. However, the theory built on the basis of this assumption cannot embrace such phenomena as the economic crisis after 2007. Thus, new concepts are emerging such as behavioural macroeconomics that extend the current paradigm to include also irrational behaviours. The above issues are discussed most comprehensively by George Akerlof and Robert Shiller in their Animal Spirits that analyses such factors as confidence, sense of fairness, antisocial behaviour, the money illusion and stories dominating the public discourse. The above analysis paves the way for a new school of macroeconomics. This paper presents the above underlying assumptions against the background of an economic crisis.

The purpose of the study (presented in this article) was to develop a measure of resilience to crisis, one that may be applied to regional data. In principle, such measure can take either positive or negative values. A positive value confirms resilience to crisis, whereas a negative one confirms the absence of resilience (sensitivity/vulnerability). The measure uses growth rates referred to the previous year under the assumption that crisis results in a slowdown in growth, or even in a decline in values of important economic indicators. Growth rates are standardized by dividing values of original change rates by medians specified based on spatio-temporal data modules. Such division results in each characteristic being brought to equal validity. Simultaneously, the original character is maintained and variables are not “flattened” by the outliers. Changing destimulants into stimulants occurs during growth rates calculation. The measure of resilience to crisis is calculated as an arithmetic mean of the values of characteristics brought to comparability. The measure of resilience can be converted into the measure of sensitivity by multiplying it by (-1). The application of the proposed measure to assessing the resilience to crisis in the period 2006-2011 is presented for regions meant as the European Union NUTS2 units. The measure is based on comparable data, which allowed for using only six variables measuring changes in GDP, salaries, investments, household income, employment and unemployment.

Southeast Asian labour markets are characterized by the diversity of the countries of which they are part and by the historical antecedents of colonialism that have largely given them their nature. Most have adopted a form of the export-oriented, import-substituting low labour cost manufacturing paradigm of economic development known as the East Asian Economic Model (EAEM). Having already passed through the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 and its disruptive effects, workers in the region are facing a different set of challenges as a result of the present ongoing crisis: these include structural changes to the EAEM and the possibility of public unrest in the continuing absence of genuine democratization across most of the region. These factors add some distinctive features to regional labour markets which, nevertheless, consist of people with the same aspirations and desires as those of workers throughout the world

Financial crisis is exactly the time when all corporations and companies are passing the evaluation and strategic decision-making processes concerning the corporate goals. Some of the corporation just answer on the impulses from the environment and react and some of them are proactive companies that thanks to the clear corporate self-understanding can still be successful.

Research background: The evaluation of the predictive strength of MIP indicators in relation to crises is extremely important for the process of coordinating the economic policies of the EU countries. MIP is one of the pillars of the economic crisis prevention procedure. Predictive power of individual indicators has not been tested before their introduction. Purpose of the article: Evaluation of the predictive strength of fourteen MIP indicators in relation to multidimensional crises in the EU countries. Methods: We used ordered probit model to test the ability of MIP indicators to correctly predict episodes of ?multidimensional crises? (as defined by the authors) in the period between 2008 and 2017 in all EU Member States. Findings & Value added: We defined ?multidimensional crises?, combining several negative phenomena into one limited dependent variable. This work is also novel in its application of probit regression to test the predictive strength of MIP indicators with an ordered probit model. We identified five MIP variables which were statistically significant in predicting ?multidimensional crises? for all EU countries: net international investment position, nominal unit labour cost index, house price index, private sector credit flow and general government gross debt. Other variables turned out to be less important or not effective in crises prediction.
