Through principal components analysis (PCA) we explain the relationship among the five variables (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch) by reducing them to a smaller number of factors. The obtained results provide guidelines for the search for marketing approaches by companies for а complex engagement of sensory stimuli in order to increase consumer value.

  • Summary/Abstract:After the collapse of the fourth largest bank in the country in 2014, the confidence in the financial sector in Bulgaria has decreased substantially. However, only six years later – in 2020 Bulgaria succeeded to join simultaneously the Banking Union of the EU and the Exchange Rate Mechanism 2 (ERM II). In practice, for a very short period of time the country not only succeeded to re-establish the confidence in the financial sector, but also to join these two important EU mechanisms. This is due to many measures and reforms that have been realised in the banking and non-banking financial sector, taking also into account the lessons from the failure of the fourth largest bank. In the period 2015-2020 many assessments and analyses were organised in Bulgaria from national, European and international institutions. The current report makes a review of these assessments and analyses as well as of their importance for the preparation of Bulgaria to join the Banking Union of the EU and the ERM II.

The living and working conditions of both international and internal migrants make them extremely vulnerable to the risk of contracting COVID-19.

  • Summary/Abstract:With the process of economic integration, the countries of Europe gave an unprecedented impetus to the Union’s main economic objectives, such as the movement of capital, goods and services, facilitation of international investment and trade. It was precisely this new impetus that should have led to stability and economic prosperity, however many years after its creation, reality has proved that, if we remain “united in diversity” the result is a boost to instability and regression. The process of integration should have created convergence between the member states but undertaken as an economic course for development by countries with fundamentally heterogeneous economies, paradoxically the opposite effect was achieved. Thus, the economic reality now is profound divergence. Member States have abandoned a number of sovereign economic policies to try and achieve the objectives of integration, however partial policy integration has proved degrading in many areas. This economic reality has proved that the course of integration should be rethought and new ways for furthering integration should be soughed for several economic sectors where the lack of integration affects the community-wide performance. Hence, the idea of a new union was born, aiming to integrate a fundamental part of Europe’s economy left sovereign. That union is The Capital Markets Union (CMU), which aims to transfer economic integration into the capital and financial markets of Europe as a natural function of Europe’s economic integration process, consequently making capital markets truly unified.

  • Keywords:Digitalisation; Digital Economy; Bulgaria; Digital Transformation Indexes
  • Summary/Abstract:Digitalization has been a subject of research since the advent of computers in mass use. What makes its analysis relevant nowadays are the transformational effects that go beyond the narrow field of application of information technology, as well as the fact that major changes are ahead. State-level digitalization strategies are a visible part of this process. The effects of technologies such as artificial intelligence and augmented reality have yet to be explored. It is challenging to define and measure digital transformation due to its multifaceted and ever-expanding scope. This report takes a step forward in this regard. By summarizing scientific researches and the key indexes in the field of digital change, it also identifies their main weaknesses deepening the study to overcome them. The cognitive value of the information is analysed as well. The report presents the position of Bulgaria according to the main indexes for digital transformation. The country is a small open economy, a member of the EU and lagging in its digital development. Bulgaria’s policy in this area is an analytical basis for studying the results in depth. The findings concern as theoretical researches, lagging behind the practice as well as the need for more accurate measurement of effects to adapt more quickly to the change.

  • Summary/Abstract:The threat of major regional disparities in the EU affects the core of the European integration process. That is why in the 90s of the 20th century the Member States adopted socio-economic cohesion in the Union as their primary objective. Thus, from the first Multiannual Financial Framework (1988) until today, they allocate more than one-third of their budget to the regions that are lagging behind in their socio-economic development. How has this goal been implemented in the new member-states (MS) from the Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries and does the European funds improve cohesion with the EU? The study evaluates the level of cohesion of eleven MS from the Central and Eastern Europe and their fifty-nine NUTS 2 regions, following the completion of a full multiannual financial framework with the EU. These are the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia. The subject of this study are the factors that accelerate and slow down the process of socio-economic cohesion within the EU. A theory of regional inequalities is studied, related concepts have been outlined and respective conclusions drawn.
