Current macroeconomic issues and methodological aspects of basic research II
The project focuses on key research questions that reflect current challenges in economics and society. The selected research topics address crucial macroeconomic and macrosocial phenomena, including issues related to the structure of the economy and its societal impacts. Another significant area concerns socioeconomic inequalities, including analyses of their causes, consequences, perceptions, and their links to social mobility and societal cohesion. The project also examines the social interconnections with the business sector, focusing on how entrepreneurship influences social norms, culture, and public policies, and in what ways firms can promote sustainable development. Particular emphasis is placed on the green transformation of the economy and society, specifically on the challenges associated with the transition toward carbon neutrality in the fields of energy, industry, and transport, with the aim of identifying effective and socially equitable solutions. The project also touches upon issues of development economics, analyzing factors that contribute to inclusive economic growth, poverty reduction, and improved access to education and healthcare in lower-income countries.
The main objective of the project is to contribute – through international research teams and the use of advanced scientific methods – to expanding and deepening knowledge in the areas of labour market-macroeconomic policy interactions, socioeconomic inequalities, societal links to business, the green transformation, and development economics. The individual research activities will build on an interdisciplinary approach and international cooperation in order to achieve high quality and global impact. The project employs modern quantitative and qualitative methods of basic research, such as econometric analyses, experiments, and case studies, to generate new insights and innovative solutions in these key domains.
The project is firmly grounded in the current state of scientific knowledge and seeks to advance it further through original approaches and the integration of diverse research topics. Each output will be published in reputable international academic journals, ensuring its novelty, contribution, and high quality. Emphasis is placed on an innovative approach that connects different research areas and offers new perspectives on complex issues.
