The lecture introduced students to basic facts about firms and how they affect the rest of the economy. During the lecture Prof. Petr Sedlacek answered some very frequently asked questions: how important are small companies? should we be concerned about startups? is there a group of particularly successful companies that is crucial for job creation in the aggregate economy?
After the lecture, a discussion ensued and there were questions from the students.
The lecture was realized as part of the project "Serial entrepreneurs, macroeconomics and income inequality", which is co-financed by Górnośląsko-Zagłębiowską Metropolię within the framework of the Programme "Metropolitan Fund for the Support of Science" from 2019 to 2022.
