Výdaje na rekreaci v závislosti na charakteristice rodiny a inflaci

The aim of the study is to examine how household expenses on recreation vary depending on inflation and the characteristics of the family, specifically between different household social groups. The fundamental methodological tool employed in the study is a regression analysis applied to secondary data from Family Budget Surveys conducted by the Czech Statistical Office (ČSÚ) that concern households´ consumption expenditures and characteristics. The study found out that among the characteristics having the most significant impact on size of household expenditures on recreation belong: the number of household members; age, gender, and education level of the household head. Additionally, a statistically significant difference was found between households of seniors and households of economically active members. The study also examined the influence of the inflation rate on average recreational expenditures using elasticity of household expenditures on recreation on inflation, with the results of this analysis suggesting that there is no significant relationship between these variables. Surprisingly, inflation thus has no significant impact on the level of Czech household expenditures on recreation.
