The paper presents the Kuhn-Tucker conditions and duality theory for the lexicographic minimization problem: iex m in{F (x)|x e R n,G (x )Rm , respectively. The lexicographic duality is then applied ...for problems with polynomials in the objectives and in the constraints.
This paper presents “micro” results of empirical analysis of 1,235 individual publication records of 1,230 economists in the Czech Republic retrieved from international databases Web of Science and ...EconLit for the period 1994 – 2003. Publication portfolio described by research publication flows from particular institutions to particular journals is provided. Algorithms of weighted and not-weighted rankings of institutions by research performance are proposed and applied on Czech data.
The paper proposes a methodology for evaluation of direct and indirect property distribution and transparency of the property structure in an economy. The methodology is applied to the analysis of ...property structure of the banking sector in the Czech Republic.
The distribution of decisional power among member states of the EU has remained a hot issue in recent discussions about the future design of European Union decision making and the Lisbon revision of ...the unsuccessful proposal of the Constitutional Treaty. Usually only the distribution of voting weights in the Council of Ministers under the qualified majority voting rule is taken into account. In contrast, in this paper we formulate simplified models of the consultation and co-decision procedures in the decision making of European Union institutions, reflecting the fact that together with the Council of Ministers the Commission and European Parliament are also important actors in EU decision making. The main conclusion of this paper is that the distribution of voting power in the Council of Ministers voting provides incomplete evidence about national influences in European Union decision making. With rare exceptions decision making is based on the consultation and co-decision procedures involving the Commission and/or European Parliament. Legislative procedures change the inter-institutional distribution of power (among the Council, Commission and European Parliament) reducing the power of the Council and at the same time they change intra-institutional power in the Council (the relative power of the Member States compared to the Council voting without taking into account the Commission and Parliament).

During last two decades we observe a boom of power indices literature related to constitutional analysis of European Union institutions and distribution of intra-institutional and inter-institutional ...influence in the European Union decision making. Growing interest to power indices methodology leads also to reconsideration of the methodology itself. In this paper a new general a priori voting power measure is proposed distinguishing between absolute and relative power. This power measure covers traditional Shapley-Shubik and Penrose-Banzhaf power indices as its special cases.
This paper gives a brief survey of the results of the 1996 election to the Lower House and the Upper House of the Parliament of the Czech Republic. Methodology of power indices is used to evaluate ...voting power and relative influence of the parties represented in the parliament. A comparison with the 1992 electoral results is provided. The regional dimension of the electoral results is discussed, and a hypothetical impact of different values of electoral threshold on the structure of parliament is analyzed.
This paper presents methodology and results of a methodological evaluation of the research capital of Czech economics departments and research institutions, and of the research performance of ...individual economists in the Czech Republic, as measured by publication history and citation records in international databases, and weighted using so-called journal´s impact factors.
