Research Interests

I am an associate professor at the Department of Regional Economics and Administration and head of the Research Institute for Innovation. My research interest lies mainly in the field of regional competitiveness based on the knowledge economy. In my research, I apply qualitative and quantitative methods that are familiar and used in regional and spatial sciences. My current research interests concern the importance of innovation for regional development, the spatial dimension of innovation policy, and EU cohesion policy. I have published more than 100 works, including papers in scientific journals, monographs, chapters in monographs and conference papers. I have a lot of experience in organizing scientific conferences focused on regional sciences. I welcome students who are deeply interested in the above topics, have the prerequisites for research, analytical and creative work, and want to devote their time to doctoral studies.

Research Interests

The dominant area of my research is the area of local economic development with an emphasis on financing and property, which are among the important endogenous factors of economic development of the area. Within the scope of funding, the subject of research is primarily the assessment of financial impacts on the management of territorial units at the local and regional level. Analyses of financial management focus on the structure of individual components of local and regional budgets and the impact of legislative and economic changes by the state on their financial management. In research of local and regional property, I focuse primarily on its structure and its overall efficiency of use. The subject of research is also the application of methods through which the efficiency and quality of public services are evaluated. Theoretical and scientific knowledge are used not only in solving scientific projects, but there is also a connection between theory and practice, e.g. in the creation of medium-term development plans of municipalities and micro-regions - Economic and regional development program, integrated local and regional development strategies, etc.

I am a professor at the Department of Regional Economics and Administration for part-time job. Within the pedagogical area, I deal with public and regional economics, especially public policies, individual tools, their effective use and economic analysis. The scientific focus copies the professional profile - in my project activities I focus on the effectiveness of public support in the implementation of innovation policy in the Czech Republic, but also in other European countries. I also deal with determining the value of public goods in various areas of the public sector.
