Factors of Czech Aid Selection and Allocation: Panel Probit and Tobit AnalysisThe aim of our paper is to identify factors that infl uence the territorial selection and allocation of development aid of the Czech Republic. We applied random-eff ects probit and tobit models in our regression analysis which revealed that fl ows of Czech aid to individual developing countries are determined by variety of factors. Czech interests and mutual relations were mostly identifi ed as statistically signifi cant determinants, namely export volumes, closer historical relations and geographical proximity. The presence of Czech embassy in a country was not confi rmed as a signifi cant factor. The refl ection of recipients' needs in Czech aid selection and allocation is rather ambiguous. While Czech aid fl ows depend positively on total population and negatively on per capita income of recipient countries, they are positively infl uenced by the recipients' level of social development. Similarly, the Czech Republic tends to give (more) aid to more democratic and freer countries with lower institutional quality.Keywords: offi cial development assistance, foreign aid selection and allocations, random-eff ects tobit model, random-eff ects probit model, aid donor, aid recipient, Czech Republic JEL Classifi cation: F35, C24 , A10 ÚvodV roce 2013 vstoupila Česká republika do Výboru pro rozvojovou pomoc (Development Assistance Committee, DAC), součást Organizace pro hospodářskou spolupráci a rozvoj (OECD). Tento výbor je považován za nejdůležitější fórum pro koordinaci rozvojové spolupráce na mezinárodní úrovni. Česká republika se tak zařadila po bok nejvýznam-nějších světových dárců ofi ciální rozvojové pomoci (offi cial development assistance, ODA) 1 , čímž stvrdila svou pozici mezi tzv. novými, respektive vynořujícími se donory. Rozvojová 1 pomoc má také své nezastupitelné místo v rámci české zahraniční politiky. Celkový objem české ODA v roce 2014 činil 4,4 mld. Kč, tedy 0,11 % českého hrubého národního důchodu. Z této částky 70,5 % zamířilo do multilaterálních organizací (rozpočet Evropské unie, Evropský rozvojový fond, různé agencie a fondy Organizace spojených národů, Světová banka a další) a 29,5 % alokovala ČR na bilaterální bázi. Mezi pět největ-ších příjemců české ODA v roce 2014 patřila Ukrajina, Afghánistán, Moldavsko, Etiopie 1 * Jaromír Harmáček (jaromir.harmacek@upol.cz), Miroslav Syrovátka (miroslav.syrovatka@upol.cz), Zdeněk Opršal (zdenek.oprsal@upol.cz), Univerzita Palackého v Olomouci , Přírodovědecká fakulta. 1Oficiální rozvojová pomoc (ODA) je definována jako toky prostředků do rozvojových zemí a do multilaterálních institucí, přičemž tyto toky jsou poskytnuty oficiálními (vládními) agenturami, jsou použity s cílem podpory rozvoje a mají zvýhodněný charakter, tj. obsahují určitou grantovou složkou.

“…These countries differ, inter alia, in the number of population. [7] For this analysis are selected countries which have from 9 million to 11 million of inhabitants. The reason is the similarity of the population such as the Czech Republic (authors are from this country) which has 10 474 600 million of inhabitants.…”
