Ing. Erika Pastoráková, Ph.D., Dean of the Faculty of National Economy, University of Economics in Bratislava (Slovakia) The monograph contains valuable new insights regarding both qualitative and quantitative analyses.

For instance, I appreciate the estimations of structural budget balances, fiscal multipliers, fiscal determinants, and fiscal projections, including sensitivity analyses. This book is addressed primarily to researchers and policymakers. However, its value added will contribute to a broader audience, including doctoral students or public officers involved in the area of public finance. doc. Ing.
