Is There Thematic Concentration of Public Finance in Czech Regions?

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to analyze the thematic decomposition of public revenues and expenditures, considering the regional dimension. The Czech regions and also their categorization according to their economic performance are the subject of analysis for the year 2015. The findings of this paper point out some relations between the categorization of regions on the basis of their economic performance on one hand and thematic concentration of public finance on the other. However, there is also some evidence against this thesis; therefore the relationship between the amount of public revenues and expenditures and the categorization of regions cannot be regarded as unambiguous.
