This paper explores the economic concept of willingness to pay (WTP) in a sporting environment. The paper introduces the specifics of the sports industry, provides insights into current research, and presents methods used in willingness to pay research in scholarly articles, with the greatest emphasis on the contingent valuation method, which is widely used in willingness to pay research. The article is compiled in a research manner and aims to provide an overview of the ways in which research could be conducted that would be useful for finding alternative ways of financing the sports sector, especially in the Czech Republic, where not many similar articles on the topic have been published.

Prognostic considerations are a kaleidoscope of different prognostic expressions of both quantitative and qualitative nature. The quantitative considerations are based on the theory published in the monograph Production Functions as a Tool for Representing Economic Reality. The temporal production function is used to forecast the GDP of the economies of the US, China and India to 2030 and 2050 respectively. The prolongation of the absolute level of GDP shows that India, in addition to China, which is already in first place, will be ahead of the US.

Under Basel II methodology there are distinguished three main risks - market, credit and operational risk. In all cases, it is possible to determine the capital requirement using the basic method, which consists of multiplying the size of the exposure by a predefined coefficient. At the same time, a more advanced approach is allowed for all categories, subject to regulatory approval. The capital requirement may be calculated on the basis of the VaR (ValueAtRisk) risk acquiring method. In the case of the advanced approach for operational risk (the aim of this study), only basic qualitative and quantitative requirements are defined and it is the bank’s responsibility to use appropriate methods to estimate the required amount of risk capital. Keywords – Operational risk, loss distribution, loss frequency, loss severity, composite distribution, AMA methods, LDA approaches, IMA methods, Monte Carlo methods, MILDA_E oprisk calculator, Excel simulation add-ins.

The development of computing technology in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) has made it possible that even the current artificial intelligence can not only replace human intelligence in some areas, but can also surpass it with a great advantage. If artificial intelligence can beat any chess player, including world champions, by such a margin that it wins all chess games, the question naturally arises whether artificial intelligence can replace humans in some other intellectual activities, for example in the field of law. This contribution attempts to outline both the performance capabilities of current computing technology and the possibilities of using artificial intelligence to decide in the legal cases in sports arbitration. In doing so, it highlights the strengths and weaknesses of artificial intelligence, the difficulties of its use in sports arbitration, and also suggests possibilities for further developments in this area.

This article discusses the growth and popularity of e-sports, especially during the pandemic when physical sports events were canceled or postponed. It defines e-sports from different perspectives, including the International Esports Federation, which states that it meets all the sporting criteria. The article also explores the organization of e-sports globally, with a focus on the International Esports Federation’s efforts to popularize and standardize rules. It further explains the different game genres for professional competitive e-sports, such as tactical shooters, MOBA, sport simulators, and fighting games. The growth of e-sports is demonstrated by an increase in profits and revenue in the past four years, and new sectors of the studio and gaming industries are emerging. The article then presents the SWOT analysis of e-sports in terms of economics and audience awareness. Finally, the article proposes the vision of organizing e-sports at the Police Academy in Bratislava in the form of an IT Community Club to create a student IT community.
