Reflections on the Involvement of Managers in Supporting Romanian Companies during the Pandemic COVID -19

Author(s): George Bucata / Language(s): English Issue: 5/2021

The wide spread of COVID -19 in Europe, which also affects Romania, and the increasingly stringent measures taken by experts to prevent negative consequences for citizens and the economy, raise a number of questions about the activities that need to be undertaken by companies to ensure compliance and those who are in a position to take these measures. Many businesses in Romania have already made a conscious effort to guard against the threat of COVID -19, whether by stopping movement altogether for an indefinite period of time, changing the way in which activities are carried out (e.g. only online now), or by working with notable safeguards to mitigate the threats.

IMPACT OF FISCAL POLICY ON ECONOMIC GROWTH IN A DEVELOPING ECONOMY

Author(s): Mohamed Ahmed Elmi / Language(s): English Issue: 31/2018

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the impact of fiscal policy on economic growth in a developing economy using Uganda data. The study specifically investigates effect of government expenditure, government tax revenue, and government non-tax earnings on economic growth of a developing economy using cointegration and regression analyses on annual data for the 1985 – 2016 periods. The estimates from the preliminary analysis show that both the economic growth (GDP) series and fiscal policy variables are integrated of order one (I(1). Results from cointegration model show evidence of long-run relationship between fiscal policy and economic growth. Estimates from the regression model suggest that public expenditure and tax revenue have positive and significant effect on economic growth. The results further show, however, that non-tax revenue does not have significant effect on the economic growth. These findings should propel fiscal policy-makers to formulate expenditure and tax policies to ensure productive expenditures are sustained while at the same avoid tax regimes that are directly targeted at the low-income households.

EVOLUTION OF ROMANIAN AGRICULTURAL SECTOR OVER THE LAST DECADE 2016 - HISTORICAL MINIMUM AND MOMENT OF REVIVAL AT THE SAME TIME?

Author(s): Nela-Loredana Cărăba- Meiță,Florin Dinca / Language(s): English Issue: 33/2019

Agriculture has always been one of the main branches of Romania's national economy. Based on the existence of favorable geographical conditions - climate and landscape - that allowed the activities of animal husbandry and field crops to be established, Romanian agriculture developed intensively until the 1990s, becoming one of the most appreciated both at European level as well as worldwide due to its performances, on its basis Romania gaining the title of "Granary of Europe". Subsequently, the sector has experienced a process of regression, which has become more pronounced in the last decade, the economic contribution made by agriculture to Gross Domestic Product dropping visibly, so that, even if in 2008 agriculture generated 6.60% of GDP, in 2016 the agricultural sector "succeeded" the counter-performance of generating revenues of only 69348.614 million lei, which, translated in percentage contribution to the formation of national GDP for that year, means about 3.90%, the lowest value ever recorded. Moreover, the year 2016, besides the fact that it brought to the fore the precarious situation of the Romanian agriculture, represented also a moment of revival for the Romanian agricultural sector, since the Romanian agriculture started "shyly" to take few "steps" on an upward trend in terms of its ability to generate income based on some actions taken in response to the above mentioned situation.

Agriculture, Food Security and Poverty Reduction in Nigeria: Cointegration and Granger Causality Approach

Author(s): Obiakor Rowland Tochukwu,Wahid Damilola Olanipekun,Olufemi Samuel Omoyele,Timothy Ayomitunde Aderemi / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

Provision of sufficient food and elimination of abject poverty have usually been the conventional benefits of agriculture to any society. Meanwhile, despite the fact that Nigeria is an agrarian society, food insecurity and poverty have become the issues of concern among both scholars and policymakers in the recent times. Against this backdrop, this study examined the nexus among agriculture, food security and poverty reduction in Nigeria from 1990 to 2019 within the framework of Cointegration and Granger Causality approach. Data was collected from the Statistical Bulletin of the Central Bank of Nigeria and the World Development Indicators respectively. The following are the major results that emanated from the study. A long run equilibrium convergence exists among agricultural valued added, food production index and GDP per capita in Nigeria. Similarly, there is a unidirectional causality which flows from food production index to poverty reduction in Nigeria. In the same vein, one way causality flows from poverty reduction to agricultural value added in the country. Consequently, this study makes the following recommendation for the policymakers in Nigeria, and other African countries by extension, that agricultural value added and food production are the important variables that cannot be undermined when poverty reduction occupies the central focus of the policymakers. Therefore, any time these policymakers want to reduce poverty, policies that will drive agricultural value added and food production should be embarked upon.

Specifically, this study analyzed the effect of treasury single account on budget execution; accountability and cash management in Nigeria public sector. This study made use of primary data sourced from 300 randomly selected respondents from government parastatals, agencies and ministries across six southwest states in Nigeria. Data were collected with the use of structured questionnaire. Collated data were analyzed with the use of percentage/frequency count and ANOVA regression analysis. Result showed that TSA adoption exert significant positive effect of budget execution (0.794; p < 0.05); level of accountability (0.750, p < 0.05), and cash management (0.960, p < 0.05) in Nigeria public. The study therefore concluded that treasury single account has substantial positive impact on performance of Nigeria public sector.

Selling Elysium: the political economy of radical game distribution

Author(s): Alex Gekker,Daniel Joseph / Language(s): English Issue: 9/2021

This paper explores Disco Elysium’s first major expansion, “Working Class Update” as emblematic of the potential fracture between the game’s themes and its politics of production and distribution. Our central claim is that in this update, the studio has reacted to the audience’s appreciation for the game’s labor themes within broader dissatisfaction with the industry’s otherwise exploitative practices, yet was constrained by the contemporary dynamics of said industry. First, we examine Disco Elysium’s radical political orientation and the platformized political economy of digital game distribution through ZA/UM’s origins within the Estonia-specific ICT scene. Second, we describe the current state of videogames distribution, in critical dialog with Dyer-Witheford and De Peuter’s concept of a “game of multitude.” We show the limits and contradictions of Disco Elysium to enact radical political stance in a growingly consolidated and platform-dependent video games market. Finally, through a qualitative empirical analysis of the community’s responses to the Worker’s Class Update on Reddit and Steam, we examine the game’s fit into the above-mentioned framework through key themes of dissonant development, tactical games and software commons.

MANAGEMENT OF ACTIVITIES TO COMBAT THE PHENOMENON OF TAX EVASION AND THE PREVENTION OF INTRA-COMMUNITY FRAUD

Author(s): Cosmin Sandu Badele,Lucian Ivan / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2021

The rules governing the application of the VAT exemption for intra-Community supplies of goods have undergone significant changes since the beginning of 2020, in order to standardize documentation requirements at European level, but also to combat tax evasion, given that the collection deficit the tax remains high. Proof of transport between Member States is one of the substantial conditions for granting the VAT exemption, with the EU establishing a set of specific documents that can constitute proof of intra-Community transport. Tax evasion is a special component of economic and financial crime, and combating the phenomenon has become a major goal of national and international bodies. Approached from a strictly theoretical perspective, Community and / or international tax evasion has to do primarily with the expansion of production / services, respectively of some of their components, belonging to national entities in states where they benefit from tax regulations and much more favorable social

The influence of financing on results in the pre-university education system

Author(s): Gabriella Szekeres Vancza,Alina Căldăraru / Language(s): English Issue: 10/2021

Expenditure on the education system plays a significant role in the economy of the public system. In the accounting of educational institutions, special emphasis is placed on the budgeting process, in which the revenues and expenditures of the entities are found. Despite a large amount of research, specialists do not agree on the role the level of funding plays in the education system and its effect on the results of the final beneficiaries of the system. In this research we tried to observe how the level of funding or average costs per pupil in European education systems influences the results of students in standardized tests. Making an estimate with the help of the linear regression model by the method of the least squares of the correlation between these two variables, we found that there was a positive correlation between them; not exceptionally strong but not negligible either.

Author(s): Tülay İLHAN-NAS,Şengül DURAN / Language(s): English Issue: Sp. Issue/2022

This study aims to examine the effect of network structures of Turkish business groups on foreign direct investment decisions. In line with this study, social network structures (in the dimensions of centrality and betweenness) that are handled at the business group level, are evaluated in the context of overlapping boards of directors. The scope of the study consists of 13 business groups determined according to the deliberate sampling method and 83 affiliates operating as affiliated companies of these business groups. In the study, the data about 96 enterprises (13 holdings and 83 affiliates) is obtained between 1997-2019, and their network structures (degrees of centrality and betweenness) are revealed. Afterward, the hypotheses, which are developed within the scope of the study, are tested through panel regression models. Research results show that degree centrality at the enterprise group level positively affects FDI decisions and activities. Another significant finding obtained within the scope of the study shows that there is no effect of betweenness at the enterprise group level on FDI activities.

The Impact of Firm Size on Corporate Indebtedness: A Case Study of Slovak Enterprises.

Author(s): Dominika Gajdosikova,Katarina Valaskova / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

Research background: Debt is considered a normal part of enterprises these days. If enterprises do not have enough equity, they will start to use a large amount of debt which is mainly associated with indebtedness. Rising indebtedness can be a difficult financial situation for business entities in the form of default and inability to meet their liabilities. Purpose: The main aim of this paper is to perform a debt analysis of enterprises operating in sectors that are considered leading in the conditions of Slovakia, such as the manufacturing and construction sector, and subsequently, to examine whether the size of the enterprise has a significant impact on selected indebtedness ratios. Research methodology: Firstly, the debt analysis was performed using the six selected indebtedness indicators on a sample of 846 enterprises. Secondly, a more detailed analysis, focused on examining the existence of statistically significant differences between individual indebtedness ratios concerning the size of the enterprise, was realized using the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test. At the end of the research, the Bonferroni corrections were used to identify where the stochastic dominance occurred. Results: The impact of the enterprise’s size on the calculated indebtedness indicators is confirmed by the results of ANOVA, based on which it can be argued that statistically significant differences between the calculated indebtedness indicators exist between large and small enterprises, as well as an inequality of medians between large and medium-sized enterprises. As a result, the median values of the debt ratios of small and medium-sized enterprises are the same. Novelty: The contribution of this paper is a new feature of the application of debt analysis for the evaluation of corporate performance. There are only a few papers in Slovakia that focus in detail on an analysis of the indebtedness of individual enterprises and with an examination of the determinants that affect this indebtedness, which is, however, an added value of our contribution.
