No. 9. 2024 Published: 11 September 2024 Abstract Large language models (LLMs) are a potential substitute for human-generated data and knowledge resources. This substitution, however, can present a significant problem for the […]

(2024) Abstract The efficiency of poultry production plays a crucial role in ensuring food security and maintaining human health sustainability. Although extensive research has been […]
School to Jail Transition – Early Warnings from the Primary School
This study investigates the predictors of incarceration among a cohort of Hungarian primary school students aged 14-15, followed until they are 23-24 years old. We analyze how school quality (including mean test performance and peer characteristics), exclusionary practices, and school/student non-compliance affect the likelihood of incarceration, time spent in prison, and recidivism. Employing linear (OLS) […]
Was There a Fiscal Free Lunch in Hungary between 1999-2019?
This paper investigates whether there have been time periods between 1999 and 2019 in Hungary when government spending has been self-financing, i.e., when the government has faced a fiscal free lunch. By self-financing, it is meant that government spending, initially financed by issuing bonds, does not lead to an increase in the debt-to-GDP ratio due […]
Exploring gender and geographic wage inequalities based on full career sequences
Substantive literature examined the gender wage gap, its components and how it changes over time. The decisions that workers make in their career paths when changing occupations, entering new industries or moving to another municipality, have a major impact on the evolution of their wage trajectories. Women and men follow different typical paths across industries […]
The Effect of Air Pollution on Fertility in 657 European Regions
This study examines the impact of ambient air pollution on birth rates in Europe. We estimate the causal effect of air pollution on fertility by utilizing variations in wind speed and the number of heating days as instrumental variables for air quality. Our analysis encompasses 657 NUTS-3 regions, with each region having 2 to 6 […]
Delayed school entry increases internal locus of control
We study the impact of delayed school entry on the locus of control (LoC) among Hungarian students, using statutory cutoff dates for school enrollment as a plausibly exogenous variation. Our findings indicate a causal relationship between delayed school entry and an increase in internal LoC, with a policy effect of approximately one-tenth of a standard […]
The Role of Competition, Earned Money and Personal Characteristics in Climate Games
Using different variants of the classic climate game, we investigate the role of competition and the source of endowment (windfall vs. earned). Participants completed a detailed personality test (including climate attitudes and economic preferences) before the experiment and were asked about their strategies afterwards. We find that competition did not significantly affect whether groups reached […]
