Present and Future Fiscal Policy Problems in the Czech Republic

This paper is focused . using the example of the Czech Republic since 1993 . on a description of the hidden risks, implicitly existing in the system of public finances during the transition period (from a centrally planned towards market economy). The starting assumption is that public budgets have in time of economic transition certain specific functions. These consist explicitly in supporting the transitional process by transferring part of the economic and social costs, attached to it, over time and various categories of population. These functions are to be carried out at time, when the economic performance of those countries tends to be rather poor and the revenue side of the budgets is not buoyant. Since the financial capacity of the budget is restraint, governments try to find ways by which transition functions could be carried out while their financing would not take the form of instant cash outlays. Evidence of the Czech Republic suggests that measures, conceived to meet the expectations attached to the budget in respect to part of the transitional costs, though conceived originally as temporary, tend over time to become of a permanent nature. Issues such as a risk of moral hazard then occur. The analysis also points to the fact that these sorts of phenomena may not be the only factor that contributed to the deterioration of the Czech public finance in recent years. The evidence of fiscal developments in quite a number of transitional economies suggests that elements of these features tend to exist in most of those countries.Fiscal Policy, Czech Republic

BRIDGING THE GAP A LA LABA:EXAMPLES OF MEASUREMENT AT EUROPEAN JUNIORS' ATHLETIC CHAMPIONSHIPS THESSALONIKI '91

Introduction: History- We have been gathered the biomechanical data in athletics at the top-level competitions ( including OG,Wch,Ech etc.) since 1978 till now. The instructional films, videos and final reports were published and they achieved considerable distribution among the athletic experts, coaches and athletes as well. Philosophy- to transmit the results of our findings to the coaches and athletes as fast as possible. To gather as much as possible other available scientific information and to present them to the coaches and athletes in more “eatable” form. And so to bridge the gap between researchers, coaches and athletes. Example- that is why we attempted to help not only the best athletes coaches but to help the juniors coaches as well. Methodology- complex analysis (3D) Complete 3 D geometric and kinematic characteristics of sport technique. Simple analysis (time) –time analysis of the sprints and hurdles events. Measurement and interpretation of run-up speed at Long Jump and Triple Jump. Results- as picture. Conclusions: Analyses of the performances of juniors confirmed once again the necessity of developing sport technique during youth preparation period

FROM A SASAKAWA GLOBAL 2000 PILOT PROGRAM TO SUSTAINED INCREASES IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY: THE CRITICAL ROLE OF GOVERNMENT POLICY IN FOSTERING THE ETHIOPIAN TRANSITION

Drawing from the experience in Ethiopia, this paper examines the role that public policy must play in building public/private partnerships to develop the extension programs, input markets, and credit services necessary to turn a pilot Sasakawa-Global 2000 program into economically sustainable national policies and programs.Sasakawa-Global 2000, Ethiopia, government regulation, agricultural input markets, Agricultural and Food Policy, Productivity Analysis,
