Directing work of Jan Mikulášek
No full textThe thesis "Jan Mikulášek and his directing" deals with one of the most outstanding contemporary Czech theater directors. The author attempts to explain the life and work of Jan Mikulášek by analyzing his directorial processes for specific productions which she has seen. Author picks up the threads of the bachelor thesis entitled "Cooperation between director and stage designer: J. Mikulášek and M. Cpin", where she analyzed Mikulášek directorial processes especially on the production of Heda Gablerová. The list od Mikulášek productions is rich so the author chose for her analysis a particular section of his work which she, among other things, compares with his previous works. She deals with Europeana, Nenápadný půvab buržoazie, Šedá sedmdesátá aneb Husákovo ticho productions in detail and especially with the Hodní chlapci production in which the author participated as a dramatic adviser
Directing work of Jan Mikulášek
No full textDiplomová práce "Režijní tvorba Jana Mikuláška" se zabývá jedním z nejvýraznějších současných českých divadelních režisérů. Autorka se snaží přiblížit osobnost a tvorbu Jana Mikuláška prostřednictvím analyzování jeho režijních postupů u konkrétních inscenací, které měla možnost vidět. Navazuje na svou bakalářskou práci nazvanou "Spolupráce režie a scénografie: J. Mikuláška a M. Cpina", kde analyzovala Mikuláškovy režijní postupy především v inscenaci Heda Gablerová. Výčet Mikuláškových inscenací je bohatý, proto si pro své analyzování zvolila konkrétní úsek z jeho tvorby, který mj. porovnává s tvorbou předchozí. Podrobně se věnuje inscenacím Europeana, Nenápadný půvab buržoazie, Šedá sedmdesátá aneb Husákovo ticho a především pak inscenaci Hodní chlapci, na které se autorka dramaturgicky podílela.The thesis "Jan Mikulášek and his directing" deals with one of the most outstanding contemporary Czech theater directors.

Does strict employment protection discourage job creation? Evidence from Croatia
No full textEmployment protection legislation in Croatia is among the most strict in Europe. Firing is difficult and costly, and flexible forms of employment are limited. Is this apparent rigidity reflected-as one would expect based on standard economic theory-in low labor market dynamics? Is job creation low and hiring limited? Is the job security of insiders achieved at the cost of outsiders not being able to enter thelabor market? The author attempts to answer these questions by examining job flows. If the employment protection legislation is binding, then job and worker turnover should be low. He shows that this is indeed the case. Hiring is limited and the average job tenure is very long in Croatia. Job destruction is low, however job creation is still lower. The result is accumulation of unemployment, in large part due to new labor market entrants not being able to find a job. The high degree of job protection also seems to strengthen the bargaining position of insiders and results in relatively high wages. So, wages in Croatia are higher than among its competitors, even after adjusting for productivity. These high labor costs are likely to contribute to limited job creation in existing firms, but also are likely to discourage the entry of-and thus job creation in-new firms. The author presents evidence that firm growth has been indeed limited in Croatia, contributing to the low employment level. The author examines other potential causes of high unemployment in Croatia (the unemployment benefit system, labor taxation, the wage structure, and skill and spatial mismatches). He argues that they do not play a substantial part in accounting for poor labor market outcomes in Croatia. The author concludes that the stringent employment protection legislation is the key labor market institution behind low job creation and high unemployment. Based on this he recommends specific measures aimed at liberalizing the labor market to foster job creation and employment.Labor Management and Relations,Labor Policies,Labor Markets,Environmental Economics&Policies,Trade Finance and Investment,Labor Markets,Labor Management and Relations,Labor Standards,Banks&Banking Reform,Environmental Economics&Policies
