Reflection of the Economic Crisis in the Consumer and Entrepreneurs Subsectors
Stanislava Hronová, Richard Hindls, Luboš Marek
|
PDF
Abstract
|
National accounts provide data about the economic behaviour of the sector of households as a whole and, to a limited extent, also divided into the consumer and entrepreneur sub-sectors. Time series of the sub-sector data are short, but cover the periods of significant economic changes. It is usual that final consumption expenditure and investments grow in times of economic growth. Recessions and crises are reflected in cautious consumer activity – lower consumption and less interest in investments and consequently in loans. When the signs of a crisis occur, producers immediately reduce costs and investments, and try not to increase their indebtedness. This paper should help identify manifestations of these general observations concerning consumers' and producers' behaviour in the period from 2009 to 2014, namely, behaviour of households in the Czech Republic viewed as consumers and as entrepreneurs. The article focuses in this context also the information value of the data for subsectors.

Regional Price Levels in the Czech Republic – Past and Current Perspectives
Jana Kramulová, Petr Musil, Jan Zeman, Radka Michlová
|
PDF
Abstract
|
Regional price levels represent research topic that is currently under spotlight. Officially published data are focused on national price levels forming only one of the most important inputs for international comparison. Despite this, the national price levels are used to estimate regional indicators in Purchase Power Standard (PPS). Team of researchers from the University of Economics in Prague was dealing with the issue and estimated regional price levels for NUTS 3 regions in the Czech Republic for the year 2007. This estimate should be updated nevertheless the previously applied methodology cannot be used directly under current conditions but has to be adjusted because in the meantime several changes took place.

Model of Water Needs for Energy Production
Libor Ansorge, Martin Zeman
|
PDF
Abstract
|
Thermoelectric power plants need large amounts of cooling water. The energy sector is responsible for the largest annual volume of water withdrawals in the Czech Republic. The issues related to water demand and its determinants were considered in several earlier studies of thermoelectric water use. For regression model determinants describing the natural, operational and socio-economic conditions were selected. In this study, we used econometric models of water needs for energy production in thermoelectric power plants in the Czech Republic. The main purpose was to obtain a model suitable for predictions. Annual data on electricity and heat production and on water use were available for sample of 33 operational units.

Selection of Unit Root Test on the Basis of Time Series Length and Value of AR(1) Parameter
Markéta Arltová, Darina Fedorová
|
PDF
Abstract
|
An important task in econometric modelling is to determinate the integration order of analysed time series through unit root tests. Statistical theory offers a wide range of tests where the most common are Dickey-Fuller tests, Phillips-Perron test, KPSS test, and their modifications ADF-GLS test and Ng-Perron test. The choice of an appropriate one depends primarily on a subjective judgement of the analyst. If we wish to avoid the subjective choice, we need to find an objective criterion that clearly defines which test is the most suitable for specific types of time series. The goal of the article is to answer this question by a simulation study and to provide the recommendations which test is possible to use. The conclusions will be applicable for time series of lengths T = 25, ..., 500 and positive values of the autoregressive parameter AR(1).

Quality Work in Statistics – from Q2001 to 2016
Hans Viggo Sæbø
|
PDF
Abstract
|
The paper considers the main developments in quality work and their impact on statistics since the first European conference on quality in statistics in 2001. In addition to the establishment of quality frameworks, the developments comprise a change of focus from quality assessments to assurance and from product quality to processes. In data collection, focus has changed from surveys to administrative registers and new data sources. National statistical institutions are not the sole producers of official statistics, and there is more attention on the whole statistical systems than before. Together with technological improvements and more use of administrative data sources, this has resulted in more statistics produced more efficiently with improved timeliness. New data sources provide new possibilities, but also challenges for quality assurance. Reflecting on these developments may guide the way forward, on creating and maintaining a culture for continuous improvement in European and national statistics.
