In this article the author deals with the admissibility of ad hominem argumentation. Firstly, he presents logical and pragmatic reasons why ad hominem argumentation is considered to be fallacious. Secondly, he proposes that in some instances the use of ad hominem arguments is justifiable. The author grounds this claim on the observation that people in their everyday reasoning practice usually distinguish between right and wrong use of these arguments. Subsequently he proceeds to analyse briefly what factors have impact on the admissibility of ad hominem. Finally, he applies the results of my analysis to the problem of objecting the judicial bias. His main conclusion is that if we want to analyse ad hominem argumentation thoroughly we need to separate its description from its evaluation and consequently when delimiting this argument we should avoid mentioning that it is necessary fallacious.

The fact of political and moral disagreement confirms that considerations of justice are often influenced by subjective preferences. However, the procedural concept of justice is to some extent immune to this subjectivism. Instead of a speculative question of what is justification and unjustification, proceduralism addresses the constructive question of how to establish legislative and judicial processes to maximize the chances of substantively just outcomes. This approach not only elaborates solid justification of a democratic rule of law; it also suggests a series of practical recommendations on how to improve the functioning of this form of government.

Is it the case that according to Slovak constitutional conventions president is authorized to request parliament to defeat the government in motion of no confidence? Ján Mazák, who defended the manner in which president Kiska tried to solve the political crisis triggered by the murder of journalist Kuciak, suggests that it is. In this article I will argue for the opposite: there is not such convention in the Slovak constitutional system because the social practice on which Mazák relies in his argument does not have the components of legal custom. In addition, I will consider whether it would be more appropriate to look at our constitutional conventions with British eyes, i.e. not as a law enforceable by courts, but as political principles enforced directly and only by political actors themselves.

In this paper, we assess the classification performance of the re-estimated Altman’s Z’-Score model for a large sample of private SMEs in Slovakia. More specifically, we assess transferability of the revised Z’-Score model (Altman, 1983) and explore the impact of the non-financial company-specific and macroeconomic variables. The dataset covers the period from 2009 to 2016 and contains 661 622 company-year observations about 149 618 individual companies with 1 575 failures. The discriminatory power of models is tested in out-of-sample period. We find that even though the model with re-estimated coefficients achieves better discrimination performance, it is not statistically different from the revised Z’-Score model. The non-financial variables improve the discriminatory performance significantly, whereas the macroeconomic variables do not. The latter even worsen the out-of-sample and out-of-time discriminatory performance.

We focus on the comparison of risk attitudes elicited through three different procedures with the goal to analyse the consistency of risk attitudes. Rank correlations are utilized to measure the degree of association of the subjects’ choices and principal component analysis is employed to find the main factors describing the specific characteristics of risk attributes. We observe patterns of consistency in risk attitudes between two methods and within the selected multidimensional method, too. We find evidence that gender and subjects’ cognitive abilities play a certain role in the consistency of risk attitudes. Participants’ choices in popular Holt and Laury method and the other two methods show nearly no relation. The principal component analysis supports the validity of the distinctive nature of the three risk elicitation methods. We also identify another aspect which is common in the different risk context; we call it the payoff risk sensitivity.

In this paper, we explore the driving forces behind total factor productivity growth in 28 European countries in the period from 2005 to 2019. Based on neoclassical theory, theory of endogenous economic growth and competitiveness theory we formulate four research hypotheses related to the impact of technological readiness, human capital, business and tax environment and creativity on the TFP growth. We used fixed effects model focusing on the impact within the countries. Our results suggest that technological readiness is an important driving force behind TFP growth. We could only partially confirm the impact of the remaining explanatory variables.
