We apply the set up of limited commitment model to empirically test the role of informal risk-sharing networks using panel data on informal credit transactions from rural Ethiopia. The empirical estimates provide convincing evidence for the belief that enforcement problem limits the direct role...

The complementarities of trade advantage and trade competitiveness measures for Hungarian agro-food trade with the European Union are analyzed. The stability and duration of the trade measures over time is investigated by the survival analysis using the nonparametric Kaplan-Meier product limit...

The aim of this article is to analyse the technical efficiency of Hungarian crop farms between 2001 and 2009 using panel data. We employ both standard stochastic frontier analysis and latent class model (LCM) to estimate technical efficiency. Our results suggest that technological heterogeneity...

Privatization in Estonia has produced varied ownership configurations. This enables hypotheses on the productivity effects of different ownership forms to be tested. Findings are based on fixed effects production function models and are estimated using a large, random sample of firms. Depending...

This report examines health inequalities among Hungarian children in the 2010s. Our work is based on a wide range of administrative and survey data drawn from numerous sources. We analyze the datasets in a unified framework and present the findings in an easily understandable way, by which our...

Our study examines social inequalities in dental visits, the status of primary and permanent teeth, the dental treatments, the availability of publicly funded dental care and health behaviours related to dental health among Hungarian children. We use all available administrative and survey data...

This study examines social differences in time use and expenditures and their evolution over time among families with young children. The analysis is based on the KSH Time Use and Household Budget Surveys. Our results show that families with higher educational attainment spend more on items and...

Our study examines social differences in health during childhood and adolescence in Hungary in the 2010s. For this analysis, we have collected administrative and survey data sources and organized them into a coherent statistical framework. These restructured data have been used to identify...
