A víz- és szennyvíz-szolgáltató vállalatok működési költségeinek jelentős hányadát teszi ki a villamosenergia-költség. Elemzésünk az IBNET (International Benchmarking Network for Water and Sanitation Utilities) adatbázisa alapján vizsgálja a közép-kelet-európai és a FÁK...

The article applies macroeconomic concepts to the interpretation of complex natural processes and, in doing so, helps to sharpen our understanding of the terrestrial water cycle. For economists, it describes climate-forming natural processes in a manner consistent with the fundamentals of the...

A szerzők cikkükben a hazai víziközmű-ágazat közelmúltbeli történetét vizsgálják, két lényegi periódusra bontva azt: a 2011 előtti és utáni időszakot egy világviszonylatban is egyedülálló ágazati reformcsomag elfogadása választja szét. A pozitívnak értékelhető...

This article develops an approach that applies macroeconomic concepts to the interpretation of complex, water related natural processes. By translating and reinterpreting these processes into a language that is more accessible to a broader audience otherwise unaccustomed to its terms will likely...

Between 1998 and 2006 a series of extreme flood events took place on the Tisza River and its tributaries. In Hungary, this triggered the development of floodpeak polders as a more cost-efficient solution of defense compared to raising the dikes. The recent analysis applies Monte-Carlo...

The implementation of nature-based solutions that involve natural processes to mutually decrease flood risk and protect natural ecosystems can be an answer to the demand for resilient flood risk management (FRM). As an example of a nature-based solution, flood polders have the potential to...

This paper investigates the contribution of high-growth firms (HGFs) to aggregate productivity growth. Four stylized facts emerge. First, HGFs mainly contribute to productivity growth during their high-growth phase but not afterwards. Second, their contribution varies substantially across...
