PROJECT ANNOTATION:

Quantitative approaches help to solve many problems of today's society. The proposed project aims to explore and use these approaches to address current economic problems and challenges in theory and practice. Considering the relatively large research team, the project can focus on several thematic areas and thus take advantage of possible synergies. Quantitative approaches in the form of mathematical models will thus be applied to solve specific decision-making problems in business practice, as well as modern quantitative methods will help to address competitiveness, economic growth and labour market issues. One of the sources of competitiveness may be the implementation of Business Intelligence, which will be examined in more detail both in terms of readiness and usability by SMEs and in terms of further development in the context of artificial intelligence. Finally, the area of economic policy will also be examined, specifically the impact of an environment of increased interest rates on the transmission of macroprudential policy instruments.
