The Impact of Financial Literacy on Debt Behavior of Households: Evidence from Micro Data
Authors: Gogola Erik
Published: May 2023

While several papers have focused on the effect of financial literacy on household retirement savings or investment choices, this paper is devoted to its impact on households’ debt behavior. We utilize Slovak household finance and consumer survey (HFCS) microdata to analyze the impact of the objective level of financial literacy on Slovak households ́ debt behavior. We find that Slovak households display different debt behavior with respect to varying levels of financial literacy. We focus on high-cost credit products and find that a household ́s financial literacy does not have a statistically significant impact on the probability of having an outstanding balance of non-mortgage or credit debt. However, we find that younger households with higher incomes dispose of a higher probability of having an outstanding balance of non-mortgage or credit debt while being more credit-constrained and less able to save from their monthly income compared to more financially literate households. Thus, we may consider households with an outstanding balance of non-mortgage or credit debt to be more financially vulnerable, as they are more frequently engaging with high-cost credit products with a lower ability to save and with a higher probability of being credit constrained. This behavior may lead to a significant decrease in their ability to face unexpected internal or external adverse shocks.
The Financial Situation of Entrepreneurs in the Slovak Republic and Their Application of Tax Relief for R&D
Authors: Jančičková Lea
Published: May 2023

Since 2015, companies in Slovakia have had a very effective tool for financing innovation: deduction of research and development expenses. It is an indirect support for research and development, which is provided to the company through a tax credit for expenses incurred for research and development activities. The amount of supercomputing gradually increased during the first years. The year 2018 was a breakthrough in the application of supercomputing, as the rate increased to 100% compared to previous years, when entrepreneurs could claim only 25% of expenditure (costs) on research and development. Thanks to R&D, taxpayers can therefore apply a reduction in the tax base (tax relief) and a precisely defined amount in addition to their normal business activities, regardless of whether R&D activities are the core of their business or are only ancillary to their main business. activities. These options apply to all tax entities investing in development activities, regardless of whether they are natural persons (entrepreneurs), small legal entities or large multinational corporations. The aim of this paper is to analyze the application of supercomputing to research and development by entrepreneurs in the context of the financial situation of companies in the Slovak Republic in 2018 using financial and statistical indicators.
Impact of Shared Airbnb Accommodation on the Local Population
Authors: Kóňa Jakub
Published: May 2023

In this paper, we monitor the impact of shared Airbnb accommodation on the local population. The methodological approach is to divide the impacts of this type of hostel into three groups according to the three pillars of sustainability: economic, social and environmental. We obtain primary data using the method of marketing quantitative research by the standardized survey through a structured questionnaire. The survey took place online from 03.11.2021 to 21.11.2021 on a sample of 556 respondents. Among other things, the respondents stated that they anticipate further development of shared accommodation in Slovakia, but we found in our survey a relatively high degree of inability to take a stand on the elements we examined. This means that many people in Slovakia do not even have an opinion on shared accommodation yet, and perhaps it is high time to start forming this opinion right now.

The Consumer Surplus Line Integral Revisited
Authors: Ševček Tomáš
Published: May 2023

The consumer surplus line integral is a concept which has helped shed some light upon the consumer’s welfare changes due to changes in product prices and/or changes in the consumer’s income. The main objective of this article is to derive the consumer surplus line integral making use of the divergence theorem as well as Green’s theorem. This approach enables the interested reader to come up with other line integrals with the same value. To our knowledge, this is one of the very first direct applications of the two theorems in economics. A partial objective is to summarize the fundamental ideas, definitions and theorems from a branch of vector calculus dealing with curves and line integrals. Therefore, the target audience of the article consists of not only economists studying the consumer’s surplus, but also of quantitative-minded economists seeking for new research methods.

Authors: Štieber Lukáš
Published: May 2023

In the context of so-called Great Moderation of the last decades characterized by relatively low and stable inflation rates are the post-pandemic inflation rates of late 2021 and early 2022 relatively elevated. Economic theory and intuition points to the set of inflation dynamic drivers of the real and possibly monetary character. The high inflation rates have negative economic and social consequences; however, the sources of inflation dynamic determine the adequate monetary policies. The goal of this paper is to analyze theoretically sources of inflation dynamics as the set of real and monetary variables It seems that on the real side are inflation drivers in USA and Europe of similar nature, on the contrary on the monetary side. The crucial distinction between the inflation dynamics caused by monetary factors in USA and Europe is the extent of QE program and the transmission of the program. Therefore, we conclude that it is plausible, that post-pandemic inflation dynamic in Europe is mainly driven by raising energy and food prices, whereas in USA also with fiscal over-expansion, however more rigorous analysis is needed to take stated conclusion as factual.

Authors: Vlčko Ján
Published: May 2023

IFRS for SMEs is issued as standard for a while now. In Slovakia it is still not allowed to use officially for the legal official financial statements. IFRS for NGOs is even not proposed yet. Some SMEs and NGOs need to disclose their financial statements according to accepted international accounting standards or according to foreign accounting standards. Companies with foreign ownership represent less than 10% of all companies but provide more than 40% of net turnover. Legislative makers in Slovakia does not reflect to the market demand and trends by updating legislative what forces some SMEs to perform dual accounting, legal based on SK GAAP and unofficial based on IFRS. There are some concerns of IFRS for SMEs adoption in Slovakia which needs to be overcame and risks mitigated. This paper provides brief overview of arguments and reasonings to get IFRS for SMEs implemented in Slovakia. On examples of real NGOs, it is shown how dual accounting rises expenses and administrative burden. US GAAP also cover NGOs, while IFRS do not. Policy of both to converge each other provides hope that even IFRS for NGOs will be once proposed.

Published: May 2023

The current business environment, not only in the Slovak Republic, is characterized by the very frequent existence of crises of business entities. It is no different even during the pandemic, which was characterized by various measures or restrictions affecting the smooth running of companies. If the company can adapt to the constant changes in the market and thus survive, it needs to know in which financial condition it is and what is its perspective in the market. Companies can use financial analysis, which monitors not only the company's management in the past period, but also with a view to the future. As a result, financial analysis becomes a strategic tool for company management and, with the help of indicators, represents a quantitative expression of the company's financial status. To predict the future state of the company, it performs an ex-ante analysis that uses several methods, among which we include prediction models, especially creditworthiness and bankruptcy models or models based on artificial intelligence. The contribution is focused on predictive bankruptcy models with the aim of pointing out the financial situation and prosperity of businesses in the Prešov region carrying out their entrepreneurial activity according to SK NACE 56300 – hospitality services during the Corona virus pandemic. Emphasis is placed on the informative value of selected models applied to a selected sample of 204 companies operating in 13 districts of the Prešov Region of the Slovak Republic.

EU Energy derivatives markets: Structure and risks
Authors: Bouveret Antoine , Di Nello Davide , Gutierrez Jordi , Haferkorn Martin
Published: May 2023

Los mercados de derivados energéticos se vieron sumidos en turbulencias tras la
invasión de Ucrania por parte de Rusia, ya que los precios del gas natural y de la
electricidad se dispararon, en un contexto de volatilidad elevada y de deterioro
significativo de la liquidez en los mercados. Los precios aumentaron de manera
acusada en marzo de 2022, descendieron en la primavera y, posteriormente,
repuntaron, hasta alcanzar máximos históricos al final de agosto de ese año. Las
pronunciadas subidas de los precios dieron lugar a ajustes sustanciales de los
márgenes de garantía de las posiciones en derivados, lo que generó tensiones de
liquidez para algunas empresas que utilizan estos instrumentos como cobertura
frente a bajadas de los precios, sobre todo empresas energéticas. La demanda de
liquidez era tan elevada que varios países de la Unión Europea (UE) introdujeron
mecanismos de apoyo público en forma de préstamos y avales públicos, y algunas
empresas energéticas tuvieron que ser rescatadas. Por tanto, es fundamental
entender la estructura y el funcionamiento de los mercados de derivados energéticos.
En este artículo se describen los mercados de derivados energéticos de la UE y se
analizan los riesgos que plantean para la estabilidad financiera. A diferencia de otros
mercados financieros, en los mercados energéticos las empresas no financieras
desempeñan un papel clave al negociar con derivados en mercados regulados y en
mercados over the counter (OTC). El mercado se caracteriza por un alto grado de
concentración de las actividades de compensación y de negociación, como muestra
el análisis de redes, y algunas empresas energéticas tienen posiciones relativamente
significativas en el mercado. En este contexto, los riesgos de liquidez y de
concentración se encuentran entre las principales vulnerabilidades detectadas,
junto con la fragmentación de los datos y las lagunas de datos. La reciente migración
de parte de la actividad en derivados de los mercados regulados a los mercados
OTC hace que su limitada transparencia y unas exigencias menos homogéneas de
ajustes de los márgenes y de activos de garantía sean motivo de preocupación.

Published: May 2023

El crecimiento de los criptoactivos en los últimos años, su potencial uso como medio
de cambio o de ahorro y sus posibles riesgos para la estabilidad financiera derivados,
entre otros, de sus interconexiones con el sector bancario han exigido la atención
de las autoridades nacionales e internacionales. En lo que se refiere a la regulación de
estos activos, en el ámbito europeo destaca la propuesta de reglamento comunitario
sobre los mercados de criptoactivos, que establece un marco normativo dirigido a
todos aquellos criptoactivos que actualmente quedarían excluidos de la aplicación de
la normativa sobre servicios financieros existente en la Unión Europea. Por su parte,
respecto al tratamiento en el sector bancario, el Comité de Supervisión Bancaria de
Basilea publicó, en diciembre de 2022, el estándar global para el tratamiento prudencial
de las exposiciones bancarias a criptoactivos. En este artículo repasamos las principales
características de estos dos avances regulatorios, claves para el futuro de la relación
entre el ecosistema de criptoactivos y el mundo financiero tradicional.

política macroprudencial e impulsada por las reformas institucionales asociadas a
la creación de la Junta Europea de Riesgo Sistémico en 2010 y al establecimiento
del Mecanismo Único de Supervisión (MUS) en 2014. Para el cumplimiento de sus
cometidos, el BCE dispone de un Comité de Estabilidad Financiera, del que forman
parte los bancos centrales y las autoridades supervisoras bancarias del área del
MUS —entre ellas, el Banco de España—y que actúa como foro interno preparatorio
de asuntos de los órganos de gobierno del BCE para el análisis de los riesgos y
vulnerabilidades y las políticas macroprudenciales nacionales en la unión bancaria.
Por último, se repasan las principales publicaciones del BCE en esta área y su reflejo

In recent years, the practice of bodybuilding has seen an increase in the number of fans in gyms and, along with this increase, the use of dietary supplements, such as creatine and whey protein, has been growing considerably by practitioners of the sport. In addition, the daily protein intake of bodybuilders exceeds the maximum recommendation, which, together with the use of these supplements, can lead to kidney and/or liver failure. The objective of this study was to analyze the liver and kidney function in bodybuilders who use Whey Protein and Creatine. For that, the individuals were divided into 3 groups and the data obtained that showed statistically significant values ​​were found in 1 of the groups, in creatinine levels in relation to the other groups. Through the results found, it was not possible to observe a correlation between the use of Whey Protein and creatine, regardless of the dose, with possible alterations in the hepatic and renal profile in bodybuilders. Thus, more studies must be done to better understand a possible relationship between protein supplements and liver and kidney disorders.

Honey is a product of animal origin with unique characteristics that must be constantly analyzed to ensure its quality and safety to the consumers, however there are few studies that verify its integrity, especially in the Federal District. In order to analyze the physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of A. mellifera L. honey produced and commercialized informally by family farmers in three regions of the Federal District, a total of 33 honey samples collected in open markets from 2011 to 2013 were analyzed. The data were evaluated using a descriptive analysis.  The results showed that, although none of the samples presented toxic metals and presence of fecal coliforms and Salmonella sp., 21% of the samples presented sucrose above the maximum allowed values, followed by 12% of the samples for total acidity content, 9% for moisture, 9% for Hydroxymethylfurfural, and only 3% for reducing sugars. It was found that 42% of the samples presented the presence of mold and yeast in the studied period. Therefore, the study shows the need for more demanding and effective inspection tools in the commercialization of honey in the Federal District.

Published: May 2023

For evaluators, guiding principles have been developed, which are covered in professional development courses and discussed in conferences, but institutional monitoring and evaluation systems still find it difficult to completely grasp the reality of suffering caused by the demand to disclose results. The study’s purpose was to find out how monitoring and evaluation guidelines affect gender-based violence programs. It focused on three objectives, which are to assess: the contribution of the principle of safety to gender-based violence programs; the ethical principle's effect on the performance of such programs; and the influence of the honest feedback principle on gender-based violence programs. The research applied a descriptive research design, and interviews and questionnaires were used as research tools. The 154 respondents were selected from the target population of 250 using Slovin’s formula; 151 respondents were picked up using simple random sampling, and 3 were selected using purposive sampling. The collected results were analyzed using SPSS. Key findings of the study on the relationship between a dependent variable and the three independent variables showed that there is a strong correlation between monitoring and evaluation guiding principles and the performance of gender-based violence programs. The results obtained show that there is a statistically significant influence, as the P value was less than 0.05. Institutions involved in gender-based violence programs need to fully integrate monitoring and evaluation into gender-based violence program conceptualization and design, as well as invest resources in public engagement and training of staff involved in program monitoring and evaluation. Keywords: Monitoring and evaluation, guiding principles, gender-based violence, safety principle, ethical principle and honest feedback principle.

Tujuan penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk menggambarkan proses pengenalan aksara Bali pada anak-anak usia dini pada PAUD Mutiara Rinjani di Desa Selelos. Aksara Bali merupakan bagian dari budaya Bali, disamping juga menjadi bagian penting dalam ritual keagamaan Hindu, namun realitanya tidak semua anak berkesempatan untuk mengenal dan belajar aksara Bali terutama anak-anak suku Bali yang berada di luar Pulau bali. Hal ini membuat penting dikenalkannya aksara Bali sejak dini, sehingga kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat menjadi sebuah proses penting dalam pembelajarannya. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini dilakukan dengan pendekatan berbasis masyarakat yang dilakukan dengan tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan dan evaluasi. Berdasarkan hasil data selama kegiatan, maka dapat disimpulkan hal-hal yang cukup penting yaitu kegiatan pengenalan aksara Bali dilakukan melalui media buku mewarnai yang disusun oleh pembina kegiatan, penekanan pembelajaran hanya pada ranah mengetahui, kegiatan berjalan lancar dan anak-anak antusias dengan proses pengenalan yang dilakukan secara menyenangkan melalui media gambar. Harapannya kegiatan yang serupa dapat dilaksanakan kembali sehingga konteks kegiatan merupakan program yang berkelanjutan. Diharapkan gambaran kegiatan ini dapat menjadi sebuah informasi penting, dan rujukan dalam perencanaan program pengabdian berkaitan dengan pengenalan dan pembelajaran aksara Bali bagi anak-anak usia dini.

With the introduction of the digital fintech ecosystem in India, there has been a paradigm shift in traditional banking practices, one of which is the complex and time-consuming lending procedure in India. With the popularization of digital credit, lending has become more accessible to the general public and has catered to the demands of the larger population who could not access this service in the past. Although this is a booming industry with an estimated size of 270 billion dollars in the year 2022 itself, India's regulatory framework cannot keep pace with this sector's growth. It has been a concern for both the industry and the customers. The present paper examines the current regulatory regime governing digital credit in India with a special focus on the RBI Guidelines on Digital Lending, 2022, and provides a comparative analysis of the regime with foreign laws. The paper also provides for the regulatory gap in these laws in India and attempts to provide suggestions to make the law more efficient and effective. The study utilizes a doctrinal research approach, which involves an extensive review of the literature and analysis of the regulatory framework in India and foreign countries and highlights the challenges faced by the digital lending industry of India. Furthermore, this study's findings have significant implications for policymakers, digital lending platforms, and consumers in India.
