Field

Macroeconomics, financial stability, credit markets

Associate Professor Jan Janků is convinced that research makes sense if it can respond to current social and economic challenges. After obtaining his PhD in economics at the VŠB – Technical University of Ostrava, he has worked as a financial stability analyst at the Czech National Bank since 2019. Since 2024, he has been working in its Research and Statistics Department. At the same time, he is an associate professor at VŠB-TU Ostrava, where he teaches and leads research projects. His research focuses mainly on financial stability, the impact of macroprudential policy, the interaction between structural and cyclical systemic risks, and developments in mortgage markets. The REFRESH project examines what barriers may put some households at a disadvantage in accessing or refinancing credit – for example, due to lack of information, lower financial literacy, age or debt.

The importance of research and the impact of the work

His research helps to better understand the functioning of credit markets and the effectiveness of central bank measures, which can lead to a fairer and more stable financial system. The results of this work have direct implications not only for policy-making at the CNB, but also at other European central banks. He regularly publishes in international academic journals and lectures at academic conferences and European institutions. Most recently, for example, at the Bank of Finland and the European Central Bank.

“I want research from the regions to answer the fundamental questions that affect people’s everyday lives – like why some households are in a financial disadvantage and what we can do about it. Research is meaningful when it delivers concrete improvements.”
