The culture of political connections, financing constraints, and performance
This article examines how firm political connections affect the financing constraints of Pakistani firms, and how these are related to firm performance. Using panel data for the listed, non-financial, Pakistani firms, over the 2007–15 period, our empirical analysis shows that in Pakistan formal political connections affect significantly firm financial status: politically connected firms are less financially constrained. The results are consistent…
Impact of industrial integration on agricultural sustainable development
Real Assets and Subjective Well-Being
This paper examines the relationship between household real assets and life satisfaction in Slovakia, using microdata from the 2017 wave of the Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS). We find a robust positive association between the value of real assets and life satisfaction. To assess whether this relationship is driven by relative, rather than purely absolute, effects, we make use of a unique feature of the Slovak HFCS: interviewer pa…
Going online
We develop a unifying framework to investigate the effects of firms' internet presence on productivity and market structure. Using information on website adoption as an indicator of online trading, we treat the decision of entering an e-commerce market equivalent to the decision of entering a foreign market. Our theoretical framework draws from a dynamic model of international trade, which accounts for firms' heterogeneity in productivity levels …
Economic analysis of the link between diet quality and health
Diversity of Food Consumption in Slovakia
In the present study we analyze diversification of food consumption in Slovakia. Dietary diversity is a proxy for the quality of diet and it measures one aspect of household food and nutritional security. Using data from the Slovak Household Budget Survey, we estimate determinants of demand for food diversity by means of linear and quantile regressions. We measure food diversity by count measure of food items consumed during a specific time perio…
Institutions, history and wage bargaining outcomes
This article uses international evidence to assess the impact of tripartism and other forms of government involvement in bargaining on wage moderation and wage dispersion. We find that government involvement in wage bargaining leads to a modest increase in wage moderation and reduction in wage dispersion. Historic differences in bargaining institutions between countries have greater moderating effects

Union Influence in Post-Socialist Europe
Examining enterprise-level union influence in post-socialist countries, the authors hypothesize that calculative human resource management (HRM) is more strongly associated with low levels of union influence than collaborative HRM. Using the United Kingdom as a benchmark, they find that in the countries under study, calculative HRM is indeed more damaging to union influence than collaborative, although to a much lesser extent than in the United K…
The Rise of Obesity in Transition
This paper integrates theoretical and empirical models to study the rise of human obesity in Russia during the transition from a planned to a market economy. To test our hypotheses we use recent individual-level data from the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey for 1995 and 2004 capturing representative periods of early and late transition. Estimation results strongly support our model of production and supply of BMI (body-mass index) and weig…
Is There a Rural–Urban Divide? Location and Productivity of UK Manufacturing
Rizov M. and Walsh P. P. Is there a rural–urban divide? Location and productivity of UK manufacturing, Regional Studies. Aggregate productivity of manufacturing industries by urban, rural less sparse, and rural sparse locations in the UK is computed from firm-specific total factor productivities, which are estimated by a semi-parametric algorithm, within four-digit manufacturing industries, using the FAME data set over the period 1994–2001. The p…
Determinants of obesity in transition economies
Rural development under the European CAP
Achieving optimal diversity at community level is a key in solving the rural development problem. \nIn this essay rural development at community level and the impact of Common Agricultural Policy \n(CAP) reforms are analyzed in the framework of privately provided public goods models. It is shown \nthat CAP support redistribution inducing diversification of community activities across households can \npotentially have important positive impact on …

An essay on the agricultural production organization in former communist countries
This paper reviews and interprets existing information and transaction costs theories of firm organization and entrepreneur's role in order to provide a consistent explanation of the farm-sector dynamics in former communist countries. Important determinants of farm restructuring are economic factors, such as relative productivity of existing human and physical capital in different organizations, risk, terms of trade, transition specific distortio…
