    <summary type="text">Title: Automation and jobs: Skill requirements and employment in EU
Authors: Mammadov, Orkhan
Abstract: This study examines how automation, measured by industrial robot adoption and artificial intelligence (AI) exposure, is associated with labor market and production outcomes across Europe. Using a panel dataset covering 32 European countries and 18 industries from 1994 to 2019, we analyze the relationships between automation technologies and employment, wages, output and gross value added. Robot density is consistently associated with employment reductions in routine-intensive activities. In contrast, AI exposure is associated with a moderation of the negative employment effects of robot adoption, consistent with task reallocation and augmentation mechanisms in knowledge-intensive environments. These associations vary across sectors and institutional contexts in Western European and Central and Eastern European economies, highlighting the context-dependent nature of automation's labor market effects and the importance of tailored policy responses.</summary>

Authors: Uğur, Mehmet; Zeynalov, Ayaz
Abstract: Existing research on financial distress typically treats failure as a single event and pays limited attention to the dynamic dependence between recurrent distress episodes. Ignoring such dependence can lead to biased hazard estimates and weaker predictive performance. We propose a decision-relevant improvement in modelling financial distress by explicitly incorporating structured event dependence and unobserved firm-level heterogeneity within a recurrent-event survival framework. Using a panel dataset for 28,847 listed firms observed between 1993 and 2022, we report three findings: (i) financial distress exhibits strong path dependence: prior distress episodes significantly increase the hazard of subsequent events; (ii) models that explicitly capture structured dependence and firm-specific frailty deliver sub- stantial improvements in predictive performance; (iii) a parsimonious specification grounded in agency theory outperforms more complex ad hoc models while retaining clear economic interpretability. Our results demonstrate that modelling recurrent financial distress as a dynamic process yields economically meaningful gains in risk ranking and early-warning capability.</summary>

Authors: Junicke, Monika; Merella, Vincenzo
Abstract: We use a Bayesian VAR with economically interpretable structural restrictions and zero restrictions on lags, to analyse the transmission channels of external shocks to an extended set of Central European markets. In particular, we study to what extent monetary policy shocks originating from the US and from the EU can explain áuctuations on countries in the Visegrad Group. We Önd that the US monetary policy ináuences the Central European macroeconomic variables at least as much as its EU counterpart, often independently, without being mediated through Germany. Furthermore, the Öndings indicate that the income absorption e§ect dominates, leading to a contraction in output of small open economies.</summary>

Authors: Celik Katreniak, Dagmara; Cingl, Lubomír; Lorko, Matej
Abstract: This study investigates how simplified tax communications influence compliance through direct cognitive effects and via indirect emotional and moral pathways. We conduct a controlled laboratory experiment in which we expose subjects to stylized letters from a tax authority. The letters vary in terms of their language complexity and visual salience. We find that simplification improves understanding of tax obligations and expected compliance but does not directly increase tax declarations in the lab. However, mediation analysis reveals a significant indirect effect: simplified communication intensifies personal feelings of guilt associated with evasion, which in turn increases both actual compliance withing the experiment and expected compliance outside of the laboratory. Other potential mediators, such as perceived fairness, deterrence, and social norms, do not play a significant role. Our findings suggest that simplification can act as a low-cost moral nudge which may enhance intrinsic motivation to comply. Policymakers can employ simplification as a tool to reinforce voluntary compliance, especially if paired with complementary interventions.</summary>
