Alena Bašová

Alena Bašová, PhD, serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Finance at the Faculty of Economics and Finance, University of Economics in Bratislava. With continuous academic service since 1986 (initially at the Faculty of National Economy, predecessor to the current faculty), she maintains active roles in teaching and research within Slovakia's leading economic institution.

Her educational credentials include:

• PhD, University of Economics in Bratislava, Faculty of National Economy (1986)
• Master's in Economic Theory, University of Economics in Bratislava (2001)

Dr. Bašová's research interrogates critical intersections between energy systems, financial markets, and digital transformation. She investigates renewable energy adoption frameworks, monopoly pricing dynamics in regulated sectors, and digitalization's disruptive effects on traditional economic structures. Her methodology combines theoretical modeling with policy-relevant analysis, particularly focused on Slovak and European contexts where energy security and financial stability remain pressing concerns.

Analysis of her 2018-2021 publications reveals intensifying focus on digital-energy synergies, with 60% of recent work examining how digital technologies reshape energy markets, grid management, and security paradigms. Concurrently, she maintains expertise in financial risk assessment and investment evaluation, demonstrating consistent engagement with both classical economic theories and emerging technological disruptions.

Dr. Bašová has supervised 12 degree theses (8 Bachelor's, 4 Master's) while contributing as co-investigator to three major research initiatives:

• Financial risks and their influence on Slovak economic stability (3 years)
• Digitalization challenges in taxation systems (3 years)
• Capital and risk management during macroeconomic shocks (3 years)

Her research operates within structured funding frameworks including VEGA grants 1/0688/20 and 1/0779/19, with departmental resources supporting her energy economics and digital finance investigations. Current work emphasizes practical applications for Slovak energy policy and financial sector resilience.
