We measure risk aversion and patience in a non-incentivized way using a representative sample of the Hungarian adult population. We elicit risk aversion with a task similar to Gneezy and Potters (1997)'s investment game and find that females risk about 8.5 % less than males when we do not...

The paper studies the labor share among countries of the European Union, with a particular attention to newer member states of Central and Eastern Europe (CEEU). After discussing methodological issues in the computation of the labor share, we present various stylized facts at the country level,...

This 150-page long book consists of 18 chapters and presents several dozens mathematical-economic models. One part consists of well-known models but the other models come from the author's research, mainly on pension economics. The book is written for readers who have a high-school education...

Existing cooperative game theoretic studies of bargaining power in gas pipeline systems are based on the so called characteristic function form (CFF). This approach is potentially misleading if some pipelines fall under regulated third party access (TPA). TPA, which is by now the norm in the EU,...

A recent stream of experimental economics literature studies the factors that contribute to the emergence of financial bubbles. We consider a setting where participants sorted according to their degree of risk aversion trade in experimental asset markets. We show that risk sorting is able to...

In coalitional games with uncertain payoffs, a deviating coalition can only form expectations regarding its post-deviation payoff. Classical approaches address the problem from the side of conservatism, expecting the worst, or by explicit assumptions of the emerging state of the world. We borrow...

Game theory is the pocket knife of conflict modelling: it has tools, models for practically all strategic conflicts, be that two- or multiplayer, complete or incomplete information and so on. In this study we have collected relevant tools for young lawyers. Since this is an introductory text we...

We analyse the causal effect of job loss on disability insurance enrolment on a five-year horizon and the implications on health expenditures. Using individual level administrative panel data from Hungary, we follow individuals displaced due to a mass lay-off and compare their labour force...

Using administrative data on incomes and healthcare spending, we develop new evidence on the distribution of healthcare spending in Hungary. We document substantial geographic heterogeneity and a positive association between income and public healthcare spending.

The aim of this paper is to investigate how the spatial equilibrium model applies to Hungary. For this we create a new database on modified micro-regional level between 2001 and 2014 with real estate/property market, labor market, regional and demographical data. We use this database to answer...
