Title: Quantification of the impact of subsidies from the "Family" subsidy program on the labor market and the family
Abstract: The aim of the article is, with the help of econometric analysis, to verify and further expand knowledge about the existence and nature of the influence of selected indicators of subsidies on the labor market and the family in the entire national economy of the Czech Republic from various points of view. The actual empirical results were compared with the opinions of the professional public, with the conclusions of international and domestic research and strategic documents in the area of influence of selected indicators of subsidies. The analysis primarily shows a significant preponderance of the statistically significant positive impact of wage subsidies on selected indicators of the labor market and the family over the negative impact. This conclusion is also stated by, for example, Crichton and Mazé (2013), who confirmed the effects of wage subsidies on the amount of time spent at work and that firms increase their total employment. The same tendency was found for the sub-indicators the number of hours in the agreement on the performance of work (favorable impact on the indicator average weekly number of hours usually worked for full-time work for helping family members of women) and for the indicator provided subsidy for gross wage resources in total (favorable impact on the indicator average weekly number of hours usually worked for full-time work for helping male family members).

Title: The Economic Effects of Euro Adoption: An Analysis for the Czech Republic Using the Optimal Currency Area Theory
Abstract: This article explores the complexities of adopting the euro as a common currency within the European Union, with a particular focus on the Czech Republic. Using the Optimum Currency Area (OCA) theory as the primary analytical framework, the study assesses whether the economic costs of adopting the euro outweigh the benefits. The analysis considers the potential loss of sovereign monetary policy, the likelihood and impact of asymmetric shocks, and the effectiveness of alternative adjustment mechanisms such as capital and financial integration. The findings suggest that while the adoption of the euro could lead to the elimination of transaction costs and potential economic gains, the risks associated with reduced monetary policy autonomy and exposure to asymmetric shocks remain significant. The study concludes that a nuanced approach, taking into account both economic criteria and broader political and social implications, is essential to determine the suitability of euro adoption for the Czech Republic.

Title: Economic Barriers as a Large Part of the Problem with Access to Healthcare
Abstract: This study examines the economic barriers to healthcare access, focusing on their impact on vulnerable populations. The study presents the Health Care Access Barriers (HCAB) model and explores financial, structural, and cognitive barriers. Literature analysis and interviews were used to reveal the economic barriers. Results indicate that financial barriers, such as high deductibles and co-pays, are particularly burdensome for low-income individuals. Structural barriers, including limited access to transportation and healthcare facilities, exacerbate these challenges, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Cognitive barriers, such as health literacy and fear of medical debt, further hinder healthcare-seeking behaviors. Understanding the complex interplay of these barriers is crucial for developing effective interventions to improve healthcare access and equity. Expert analysis adds new views such as lost productivity, travel costs, management challenges, or economic disparities.

Title: Effects of Financial and Moral Incentives on Employee Motivation: A Comparative Analysis across Generations X, Y, and Z in the Albanian Business Landscape
Abstract: This research paper investigates the nuanced interplay between financial and moral incentives in shaping employee motivation across different generations (X, Y, and Z) within the context of the Albanian business landscape. The study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the preferences and motivations that drive employees from various generations to remain engaged and satisfied in their workplaces.The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to collect data from a diverse sample of employees representing Generations X, Y, and Z across various industries in Albania. By examining the impact of financial incentives, such as competitive salaries, bonuses, and benefits, alongside moral incentives, including organizational culture, ethical practices, and social responsibility initiatives, the study seeks to identify patterns and differences in the factors influencing employee motivation.The findings are expected to shed light on the relative importance of financial and moral incentives for each generation, offering insights into the evolving preferences of the contemporary workforce. Moreover, the research aims to uncover potential generational variations in the perception of organizational values and their impact on long-term commitment to employers.Understanding the dynamics of employee motivation is crucial for Albanian businesses seeking to attract and retain talent in a competitive market. The research outcomes can guide human resource practices, enabling organizations to tailor their incentive strategies to align with the unique preferences and values of different generations, ultimately fostering a more satisfied and committed workforce. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing context-specific insights into the relationship between incentives and employee outcomes in the dynamic Albanian business environment.

Title: Cost-effectiveness of Capital Profit Oriented Corporations in Residential Social Care Services: Managerial Recommendations and Barriers in Czech Republic and Europe
Abstract: This study explores the cost-effectiveness of capital profit-oriented corporations in the developing residential social care service sector of the Czech Republic. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used to evaluate the profit efficiency of 24 companies with available financial data from 2022. The results reveal substantial differences in efficiency, with only three companies achieving a score of 51-100%. The most efficient companies demonstrate knowledge spillover from foreign ownership, strategic capacity growth, staff training, and cooperation with the public sector. The paper concludes that the sector is underdeveloped and geographically concentrated. Managerial recommendations based on the leading companies' strategies highlight the importance of process improvement projects, integrated healthcare and social service provision, and a data-driven approach through regional social care service plan development.

Title: SHOULD THE CZECH REPUBLIC ENTRY INTO THE EURO AREA?
Abstract: The paper deals with the question whether the Czech Republic should adopt euro. The aim of the paper is to evaluate potential advantages and disadvantages of euro adoption. The implemented methodological framework combines the use of logical arguments with an analysis and comparison of statistical data.  The analysis showed that entry into the eurozone would currently be disadvantageous for the Czech Republic and would bring a large number of risks. The loss of own monetary policy, which currently plays an important role in taming high inflation, was assessed as the main risk. In addition, the Czech Republic did not meet any of the Maastricht criteria in 2022; thus, the Czech Republic does not even meet the conditions necessary for adoption of euro.
