EDITORIAL
Dear readers,
Since the last issue we have made several changes towards further impovement of the
presentation and the attractiveness of Review of Economic Perspectives. We have
redesigned the web pages so that they would be better arranged, and updated its
contents, too. We are also continually working on us being included in prominent
abstracting and indexing services. We hope to be able in the next few months to
announce further success in this field to you.
The present issue contains three loosely related articles. The first article from Juraj
Nemec, David Špaček, Patrycja Suwaj and Artur Modrzejewski presents the research in
the area of public administration resulting from a wider international cooperation. The
authors focus on the regions of Central and Eastern Europe, namely the Czech Republic,
Slovakia and Poland, and scrutinize public sector performance and public management
education. The second article from Petra Dvořáková also deals with the field of public
administration. This time, however, fiscal imbalance and fiscal risks management on the
level of Czech regions are of author’s interest. The third article from Martin Slanicay
has the macroeconomic character. Within the paradigm of New Keynesian DSGE
models, his article examines the question whether there exist asymmetric shocks and
structural differences between the Czech economy and the Euro Area 12.
