How do financial markets affect our daily lives and why is it a good idea to do a PhD? Professor Štefan Lyócsa talks about more than that. His research is focused on what influences investors' attention. Starting next year, he will also be supervising a new PhD programme in Economics, Finance and Management. In the middle of June, the President of the Czech Republic appointed him professor of economics.
Support for renewable energy sources (RES) is undergoing a major change. Instead of the purchase prices, as previously guaranteed, a system based on auctions is now being introduced, which should bring greater efficiency, transparency, and price stability for consumers. Doctor Ondřej Špetík and Associate Professor Vilém Pařil from ECON MUNI are looking for ways to set up the new system well and motivate energy producers to use it. Ondřej Špetík explains in an interview what exactly the change in the RES support system brings and what impact it will have on people.
