    Changes in the Czech Wage Structure: Does Immigration Matter?

    Using the Albrecht et al. (2003) version of the Machado and Mata (2005) decomposition technique along the wage distribution, we find that immigrant workers do not affect changes in the Czech wage structure between 2002 and 2006 despite their substantial inflows. Instead, changes in the wage structure are explained solely by increasing returns of native workers, while changes in the observed characteristics of native workers, particularly a rising level of education, are responsible for increasing wage dispersion. The sizeable inflows of foreign workers in the sample years are concentrated among young workers with primary and tertiary education and are primarily due to rising labour demand. The negative immigrant-native wage gaps are persistent along the wage distribution and are explained mainly by differences in observed characteristics. We provide evidence on increasing returns to education of native workers along the wage distribution. The returns are higher in 2006 than in 2002, in line with the evidence in the previous literature.Immigration, matched employer-employee data, quantile regression, wage gap decomposition, wage structure.

    Disertation ``The work of poets from the group around Kamil Bednář{\crqq} deals with a group of writers, which formed between 1930s and 1940s around the mentioned poet, who was considered to be the spokesman of his generation, which was labelled as ``protectoral{\crqq}. The author will try to explain the historical background of this group`s work in the context of Czech literature of the 1940s. The author will also study the crisis of this group during World War II, its gradual decline in the post-war period and its definite end after the takeover in February in 1948. The author will be concerned only with those poets, and their poetic and theoretical work, who became involved in the discussion about the young generation and its poetry. The author will try to clarify the idea and the conception of {\clqq}naked human``, which implied, that it may be considered to be the program of young arrtists, or, at least, to be their mutual base. The author will mainly focus on three most interesting poets {--} Kamil Bednář, Hanuš Bonn and first of all, Jiří Orten. The author will take notice of the similarities, differences and also the existential phenomena, which are usually connected with the group around Kamil Bednář. Jiří Orten will appear to be the most tallented , the most inspirative and probably also the closest to philospophical existentialism. There are special chapters devoted to Jarní almanach básnický (Spring poetic almanac), which is a generational performance of young poets; Kritický měsíčník (Critical monthly) {--} a magazine, edited by Václav Černý, which provided space for the poets around Kamil Bednář and Ohnice (White Charlock) , which was the last act of the fading group. The author will also mention briefly the penetration of existentialism to Bohemia

    The concepts of “pater familias” and “patria potestas” in the ancient Roman family

    No full text
    Familia en geniş anlamıyla aile demekti ve Eski Roma toplumsal yaşamının temelini oluşturuyordu. Patria potestas altındaki bütün kişiler familia içinde yer alırdı. Patria potestas, dar anlamda babaya ait olan güç, baba egemenliği; geniş anlamda ise aile reisi olan pater familias’ın ailesindeki bütün çocuklar, torunlar, aileye dahil diğer kişiler ve köleler üzerindeki hakimiyetini ifade ediyordu. Pater familias olmak için patria potestas altında olmamak ve erkek olmak yeterliydi. Pater familias; askerlik hakkı, seçme ve seçilme hakkı, evlenme hakkı gibi bir Roma vatandaşının kullanabileceği bütün haklara sahipti. Pater familias’ın aile fertleri üzerindeki hakimiyeti mutlaktı. Patria potestas’ı sona erdiren sebepler ölüm, capitis deminutio ve emancipatio idi. Ölüm halinde patria potestas kendiliğinden sona ererdi. Capitis deminutio ise aile reisi olan pater familias’ın savaşta esir düşmesi veya sürgün cezasına çarptırılması ile ortaya çıkan bir durumdu. Nitekim hür olmayan ve hakimiyet ehliyeti bulunmayan bir kişi patria potestas’a sahip olamazdı. Aile evlatlarından birinin rahip olması veya yüksek bir mertebeye ulaşması da, capitis deminutio kapsamında patria potestas’ı sona erdiren bir durumdu. Roma’da kız çocukları da dini hizmetler görebilir ve rahibe olabilirlerdi. Bir kız çocuğunun rahibe olması, patria potestas altından çıkması için yeterliydi.The word familia meant to be a family in the broadest sense and it formed the basics of the Ancient Roman social life. Persons under the patria potestas were also seen in the familia. In the narrow sense patria potestas meant to be the power of a father or his sovereignty; and broadly it meant to be the dominance of the father over the all children, grandchildren and other family members including slaves. In order to be pater familias it was necessary to be a man who is also separated from patria potestas. Pater familias had the rights such as military service, elect and to be elected and marriage as a normal Roman citizen. The dominance of pater familias over the family members was certain. Reasons that end patria potestas were death, capitis deminutio and emancipatio. In the case of death patria potestas would end spontaneously. Capitis deminutio was the situation that the family leader pater familias was captured in a war or exiled. Thus it is impossible to have a patria potestas while being a prisoner or not having the qualification to dominate someone. If one of children in the family became a monk or a high-ordered person, this is a situation that would end patria potestas in terms of capitis deminutio. In Rome girls were also able to have religious education and become a monk. And in this case they could split from patria potestas too in the same way

    The Goll ś style. A study to the historical thinking of Jaroslav Goll

    Roman PAZDERSKÝ, The Goll's style. A study to the historical thinking of Jaroslav Goll, rigorous thesis, FF UK, Prague 2013 This thesis seeks to expose the theme style of famous Czech historian Jaroslav Goll (1846- 1929). The methodological basis of this work is the concept of style analysis as one of the possible ways to understanding the Goll's historical thinking. Style, understood as the outward projection or reflection of deep contents of historian's historical thinking, leads the author this work to the detailed reflections of real nature of Goll's thought about the history and historiography, which often finds itself in evident collision with the stereotypical image of the Goll's rigid historiographical "positivism". The author wants, on the basis of precise analysis of the Goll's texts (including the surviving notes of his university lectures), to offer a qualified statement especially about non-positivist moments of the Goll's historical thinking, which are in his work represented firstly by the way of Goll's approach to historical themes and secondly by the so-called "symptomatic features of the Goll's historiographical style". All these problems open also a much broader issue on the adequacy of the concept "positivism" as a general designation for the intellectual orientation of the..

    FIGUR RIDWAN KAMIL DALAM EKSPRESI GARIS DAN WARNA

    Get PDF
    Ridwan Kamil merupakan sosok pemimpin baru dewasa ini, beliau adalah Walikota Bandung periode 2013-2018. Pemimpin dengan karakter yang ramah, kreatif, dan berprestasi. Banyak perubahan yang telah dibawanya selama menjadi pemimpin di kota Bandung, terutama pembangungan di bidang infrastuktur. Hal ini didasari dari pendidikan dan pekerjaan sebelum menjadi walikota, yaitu sebagai seorang arsitek. Sebagai bentuk apresiasi penulis terhadap kontribusi dan kinerjanya sebagai walikota Bandung, muncul sebuah gagasan untuk mengapresiasi figur Ridwan Kamil dalam sebuah karya seni lukis. Pada karya seni lukis yang dibuat akan menitikberatkan pada kepribadian dan keseharian Ridwan Kamil yang menjadi hal yang melekat dalam pikiran masyarakat sebagai konsep dalam lukisan yang mengambil aliran ekspresionisme. Dalam lukisan dengan teknik ekspresionisme ini, penulis menonjolkan potret ekspresi, garis, dan warna-warna yang mewakili sosok Ridwan Kamil dalam kesehariannya sebagai pemimpin di pemerintahan dan pemimpin di keluarga dan masyarakat terdekatnya. Lukisan yang dibuat oleh penulis mengadaptasi karya-karya seni lukis ekspresionisme yang sebelumnya telah dibuat oleh seniman besar seperti Affandi dan Voka. Dalam proses penciptaan karya seni lukis ini, beberapa tahapan yang dilakukan setelah penemuan ide adalah melakukan kontemplasi dan stimulasi agar karya yang dibuat sesuai dengan apa yang diharapkan. Terdapat 6 buah karya dengan beberapa tema yang mewakili figur Ridwan Kamil dan peristiwa yang telah dilaluinya, seperti karya yang berjudul “Loyalitas Tanpa Batas” yang mengingatkan kita pada nadzar Ridwan Kamil yang akan mencukur pendek rambutnya jika Persib juara Liga Super Indonesia 2014 atau karya dengan judul “Sosok Pemimpin Baru” yang secara visual digambarkan dengan figur Ridwan Kamil yang menggunakan seragam walikota. Adapun harapan dari hasil karya yang telah dibuat oleh penulis di kemudian hari adalah adanya penyempurnaan dalam riset terhadap tokoh dengan menambah sumber buku-buku autobiografi tokoh itu sendiri dan melakukan wawancara langsung dengan tokoh yang bersangkutan sehingga otentitas materi yang dirumuskan bersumber dari sumber yang terpercaya. Deformasi bentuk dari figur menjadi bentuk yang abstrak dan penambahan elemen estetis seperti kain, serbuk pasir, dan bahan daur ulang bisa membuat karya menjadi memiliki kesan yang inovatif dan variatif dibandingkan karya lukis biasa yang cenderung menggunakan bahan konvensional seperti kanvas, kuas dan cat akrilik.;--Ridwan Kamil is a new leader today, he is Mayor of Bandung period 2013-2018. Leaders with a friendly, creative and accomplished character. Many changes that have been brought during the leadership in the city of Bandung, especially development in the field of infrastructure. It is based on education and work before becoming mayor, he is an architect. As a form of appreciation of the author of his contribution and performance as mayor of Bandung, came an idea to appreciate the figure Ridwan Kamil in a work of painting. In the work of painting is made will focus on the personality and daily Ridwan Kamil which became inherent in the minds of society as a concept in painting that takes the flow of expressionism. In this painting with this expressionism technique, the authors highlight the portraits of expressions, lines, and colors that represent the figure of Ridwan Kamil in his daily life as a leader in government and leaders in his immediate family and community. The paintings created by the author are also adapted from works of expressionism paintings that had previously been made by great artists such as Affandi and Voka. In the process of creating this painting, several stages done after the discovery of the idea is to do contemplation and stimulation for the work made in accordance with what is expected. There are 6 artworks with several themes representing the figure of Ridwan Kamil and the events he has passed, such as the work entitled "Unlimited Loyalty" which reminds us of the promise of Ridwan Kamil who will shave her hair short if Persib Indonesian Super League champion 2014 or work with title "The New Leader" is visually depicted with the figure of Ridwan Kamil who uses the mayor's uniform. the hope of the work that has been made by the author in the future is the refinement in research on the character by adding the source autobiographical books of the character itself and conduct direct interviews with the figures concerned so that the authenticity of the material formulated sourced from reliable sources. The deformation of shapes from figures into abstract shapes and the addition of aesthetic elements such as fabrics, sand dust, and recycled materials can make the work of having an innovative and varied impression compared to ordinary paintings that tend to use conventional materials such as canvas, brushes and acrylic paint

    The Impact of Capital Measurement Error Correction on Firm-Level Production Function Estimation

    Get PDF
    Based on a large panel of Czech manufacturing firms, we estimate firm-level production functions in 2003-2007 using the Levinsohn and Petrin (2003) and Wooldridge (2009) approaches, correcting for the measurement error in capital. We show that measurement error plays a significant role in the size of the estimated capital coefficient. The capital coefficient estimate approximately doubles (depending on the particular industry) when we control for capital measurement error. Consequently, while the majority of industries exhibit constant or (in)significantly decreasing returns to scale when the standard methods are used, increasing returns cannot be rejected in some industries when the estimation is corrected for capital measurement error.Capital, firm-level data, measurement error.
