Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all areas of life, both private and public. The municipalities, which had to deal with increased expenses on the one hand and lower incomes on the other, were no exception. The presented research aims to quantify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the budgets of selected cities in the Czech Republic. A total of 29 municipal budgets (municipalities) are evaluated in 2021 in comparison with their previous economies during the period of 2010-2020. 6 indicators are monitored (five of which are income ones) using a wide range of mathematical and statistical methods, e. g. Shapiro-Wilk test, Levene test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov text, and others. Based on the results obtained, there are no significant adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy within the budget for the year 2021, both within the framework of total income and total expenditure. The research also did not show any fundamental differences in the management of evaluated cities, which, according to the applicable legislation, are divided into a multi-level system of administration, i.e. city districts or city parts, compared to cities with single-level management, i.e. cities with no territorial divisions.
