"16+1" Format - Role in Geopolitical Strategy of PRC

Author(s): Nako R. Stefanov / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2018

In the latest years the “16+1” Format is becoming more and more important for the Central and Eastern Europe countries. Although at the very beginning the format “16+1” has not been considered an important initiative from geopolitical and even from economic point of view at the background of “One Belt One Road” (OBOR) Geostrategic Strategy it began to acquire the features of geo-strategic scheme. The current progress within the “16+1” Format has exposed the challenges China is facing in its attempt to shape a concrete framework for cooperation on OBOR. Brussels is concerned about China cooperation with the CEE countries. This suspicion hinders cooperation between China and the CEE countries. Such cold war mentality needs proactively respond.

"Employee of the Month" in Romania: a Study on Perceptions

Author(s): Sabina Irimie,Bianca Armean / Language(s): English / Issue: 5/2012

An important and complex problem of labor economics in general and of human resource management in particular, is to effectively motivate employees. At the current juncture, under the spectrum of economic crisis, the controversies of theoretical and practical interest such as the importance of the money, the relationship between motivation, satisfaction and performance at work, are more pronounced and more focused on non-financial forms of motivation. At least in part, this is because the usual ways of saving costs in today's organizations seem to aim primarily the expenses on staff (wages, rewards, training funds and so on). In this context, the paper aims to highlight the perceptions of employees on the program "Employee of the Month", as it was implemented in a Romanian organization (in a hybrid approach, combining monetary rewards and recognition awards specific to most common forms of program). Thus, the main results of our study reflect the opinions of people involved in this program, and allow us to sketch some possible changes based on the feedback from employees, in order to further improve the effectiveness of the program.

"L’économie du bon plaisir". Wpływ myśli etatystycznej na organizację życia administracyjno-ekonomicznego Śląska doby habsburskiej (1526-1740)

Author(s): Jarosław Kuczer / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 7/2017

In many human sciences, especially political science and economics (and cultural research) there exist many analyses of the impact of statism (etatism) on the functioning of societies. The aim of this article is to show and highlight contemporary phenomena of this doctrine, through inquiry into their origins and character, treated – especially by Austrian and British researchers – as unchangeable. Why Silesia? Why 1526-1740? Several constants existed there. Firstly, it was a province of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, treated in the studies of the history of the rights as state par excellence. Secondly, in the abovementioned period, it was the farthest from, among others, Europe's easternmost economic structure which underwent statist policies modeled on French achievements. Thirdly, Silesia was the last in Europe, and so it was seen as "the most perfect", in practice it was a well worked out and well distorted, form. The article analyzes the issues of the organization and development of central public administration structures and their impact on economic statism, according to the scheme:1. Ideological basis of statism in Silesia,2. Implementation through the creation of central offices,3. The taking of the highest economic offices by the Emperor’s adherents,4. Giving the greatest land fortunes to people involved in the politics of Vienna Court,5. News from the fiscal policy agenda,6. Economic basis of the creation a new social order/hierarchy.Such a system is related to the value of chronological changes.When conducting an explanation, it proved to be the best to use synchronic, genetic, philological, evolutionary and sociological methods and elements of comparative, progressive and retrogressive and argumentum ex silentio methods as well.

Author(s): Glibchuk Petro Volodymyrovych / Language(s): English / Issue: 34/2016

With the development of geoinformation technologies and geoinformation mapping the sphere of activity of professional geographers and cartographers has been enriched by a wide application of databases (DB). They enable geographical information to be put in order in a user-friendly system. The article considers the methodological aspects of the organizations and creation of such a system - the "Municipal settlements of Ukraine" databases. The basic stages and databases forming the principles which the author designated during the creation of this specific database are highlighted. The DB structure is revealed - the list of the data included in every table is given. The ways of DB applications are determined; they consist in using DB for the creation of various cartographic studies and reference books about the municipal settlements in Ukraine. The prospects of DB development and perfection are considered.

"Push" and "Pull" Systems in Supply Chain Management. Correlative Approaches in the Military Field

Author(s): Gheorghe Minculete,Polixenia Olar / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2016

The increase in economic, social and security risks is currently determined by the resource crisis on the one hand, as well as by the economic competition and global military challenges on the other hand, which amplifies instability and jeopardizes the viability of inter-state relations at global level. In these circumstances, the complexity of the economic and military environments determines company managers and military leaders to act by way of “push” and “pull” systems in order to make their own logistic activities more effective, in view of attaining their projected strategic objectives. In the current article we try to briefly address the “push” and “pull”systems within the Supply Chain Management, setting off from the concrete demands of consumers/users in the economic and military fields.

"Riževi standard proti mesnemu standardu" (Elementi stereotipa o japonskem gospodarstvu pri Slovencih pred drugo svetovno vojno)

Author(s): Žarko Lazarević / Language(s): Slovenian / Issue: 2/2000

The stereotype image of the Japanese economy created by the Slovenian press before the Second World War was not based on its own experience, but was assumed from the western European press. This is understandable, given the very small trade exchange between the two countries at the time. This stereotype included elements, such as social and foreign-exchange dumping, a patriarchal system, a better organised and more efficient economy, and unfair competition.

"Second curve" concept as a key driver of economic development in the emerging markets

Author(s): Anđelko Lojpur,Ivan Radević,Nikola Martinović / Language(s): English / Issue: Spec/2021

The paper begins with the understanding that the three-decade-long transition period from a socialist economy to the market one, as an integral part of comprehensive changes in Eastern Europe, both political and ideological ones, remains to be a quite problematic and ongoing process. When it comes to less-developed or transition countries, with a special focus on the Western Balkans, a popular opinion is that the impact of deindustrialization on countries in transition was as painful and radical as the "coming" of socialism. Therefore, when addressing the need for a new formula for development, it is a matter of great concern that today's multipolar world lacks well-established development paradigms, particularly taking into account an obvious stagnation in reforms, i.e. the so-called reform failure. In the authors' opinion, it is possible to end the crisis in underdeveloped and transition countries only by introducing a "new" order, i.e. by finding a "new" economic development paradigm. In the light of the above, this paper indicates the need to replace the current transitional models of economic transformation with a turn-around strategy that would be based on reindustrialization, i.e. newly created industrial policies. Finally, this would imply the implementation of the “second curve“(the “S-curve”) concept in the change management processes.

"Stumbling and Dusting Off," or an Attempt to Pick a Path Through the Thicket of Bulgaria's New Economic Mechanism

Author(s): Richard J. Crampton / Language(s): English / Issue: 02/1988

The most persistent theme in Bulgarian public life during the 1980s has been the attempt to remodel and improve the national economy in accordance with the New Economic Mechanism, the NEM, which itself has been inseparable from "the scientific-technological revolution. " Economic innovation and experimentation are not new to Bulgaria. Previous attempts, however, have generally failed to live up to expectations, often degenerating into confusing and sometimes contradictory administrative changes before being abandoned in favor of a return to the comforts and certainties of a centralized, Soviet-style, command economy.

"Лошите кредити": институционални и финансови аспекти, 1994

Author(s): Christina Vutcheva / Language(s): Bulgarian

Since the beginning of 1991 Bulgaria has been living through a period of transition from centralized totalitarian control to free market economy. Year 1990 can be said to mark the political liberation of the people with the adoption of the new Constitution. The economic liberalization, however, is a reality yet to be brought to life since private ownership is not prevalent in the economy. The prime aim of the transition is to substitute an absurd and inefficient economic system for a new one to rely on the free initiative, private ownership and competition.

About the Governance Efficiency of Agricultural Farms. The Case of Bulgaria

About the Governance Efficiency of Agricultural Farms. The Case of Bulgaria

Author(s): Hrabrin Bachev / Language(s): English / Issue: 75/2022

The New Institutional Economics framework is incorporated and a practical approach for assessing the level and factors of governance efficiency of Bulgarian farms suggested. The evaluation is made on the basis of original micro-data collected by the managers of typical farms of different type and location. The "Nature of the problems in effective organization for major class farm transactions for securing needed factors of production and output marketing" is used as an indicator for the comparative efficiency and adaptability of individual farms. The study found that the governance efficiency of farms is at a Good level but 60% of all holdings are with a Low efficiency. Major factors for inferior governance efficiency of farms are unsatisfactory efficiency in supply of necessary labor, innovations and know-how, and funding. There is a huge variation in the level and factors of governance efficiency of farms with different juridical types and sizes as well as in the share of farms with different levels of efficiency in each group. A strong correlation is found between the level of governance efficiency of farms, and diverse critical internal and external market, technological, institutional, personal, etc. factors. There is a big discrepancy between the “new” assessment of Governance efficiency with dominating traditional approaches for farm efficiency assessments based on factors' productivity. There was an improvement in the overall governance efficiency of farms during 2016-2020 but the share of efficient farms significantly declined during the period.

ALIGNMENT OF CIRCULAR ECONOMY BUSINESS MODELS FOR FRAMING NATIONAL SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

ALIGNMENT OF CIRCULAR ECONOMY BUSINESS MODELS FOR FRAMING NATIONAL SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Author(s): Dzintra Atstaja,Natalija Cudecka-Purina,Raisa Hrinchenko,Viktor Koval,Janis Grasis,Rudite Vesere / Language(s): English / Issue: 42/2022

Circular economy offers opportunities to boost jobs and tackle climate change. The article reflects aspects of the impact on the environment through sectoral policies to support the circular economy because current business as usual model, based on the linear economy principle leads to a staggering inefficiency in nature resources are managed, with increased pollution, loss of ecosystems and substantial losses of value with each product disposed. This requires a change not only in consumer behaviour but even more on the resource extraction and material production side. The purpose of the research paper is to develop a decision-making matrix providing a step-by-step approach for the policymakers.

An Analytical Assessment of the Determinants of Exchange Rate: An Empirical Evidence from Nigeria

An Analytical Assessment of the Determinants of Exchange Rate: An Empirical Evidence from Nigeria

Author(s): Olajide Clement Jongbo / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2022

The study utilised econometric techniques as data analysis technique and it is indicated that there is no significant relationship between real terms of trade and real exchange rate in Nigeria; there is no significant relationship between real trade restrictions and real exchange rate in Nigeria; there is no significant relationship between technological progress and real exchange rate in Nigeria. However, it is dem onstrated that ther e is a significant relationship between real government expenditure and real exchange rate in Nigeria and there is a significant relationship between nominal exchange rate and real exchange rate in Nigeria. Therefore, the study concluded that, at the long run level, the real variables alone that influences real exchange rate in Nigeria were insignificant. However, real exchange rate in Nigeria was determined by both real and nominal variables are the core fundamentals that determined real exchange rate in Nigeria mostly in the short run. It is therefore recommended that there is need for the monetary authority in Nigeria to create enabling environment that will encourage and attract international trade activities by investing in the infrastructure of the nation.

ANALYSE DE L’EFFICIENCE DES BANQUES COMMERCIALES EN RDC: APPROCHES DEA ET SFA

Author(s): Kapemba Alain Mujinga,Nkashama Mukenge Jean-Claude,Monga Kevin Nansha / Language(s): French / Issue: 2/2022

The aim of this study is to measure the technical efficiency of commercial banks in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and to analyze its determinants. To achieve this goal, on an unbalanced panel of 10 commercial banks observed from 2005 to 2019, the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) followed by two Truncated Regression (TR) models and the Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) were used. Return on Equity (ROE), loans, deposits, female workforce, number of branches, type of ownership, seniority, liquidity ratio, inflation rate, money supply growth rate, key interest rate and required reserve ratio are the significant covariates identified in this study. In addition, the most technically efficient sampled banks are: BOA, Ecobank, Equity Bank, Rawbank, Sofibanque and TMB. However, in terms of cost-efficiency, commercial banks in DRC operate on a sub-optimal scale.

ANALYSING THE IMPACT OF ESTABLISHING A CENTRAL COUNTERPARTY ON THE ROMANIAN CAPITAL MARKET

Author(s): Ovidiu Mihai Vasuț,Ioana Cristina Sechel / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2021

Through this article, we aim to analyze the impact of setting up a central counterparty (CCP) on the Romanian capital market. At the same time, the current stage of the steps initiated by the authorities in the field for the establishment of the central counterparty will be addressed. The study is based both on theoretical elements from the international bibliography and on a series of reports prepared by various institutions in the field of capital market. The objectives pursued through this article are to highlight both the positive factors that can bring the value of financial activity on the Romanian capital market and to raise awareness of the risks to which the economic ecosystem is exposed by developing a central counterparty and integrating it into the Romanian financial market. At the same time, aspects regarding the role of the central counterparty in the economy as well as the advantages and disadvantages of setting up a CCP in Romania were addressed.

Analysis of Trade Efficiency in Serbia Based on the Promethee Method

Author(s): Lukic Radojko / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2021

Various methods of multi-criteria optimization have been developed and have recently been widely applied in trade. With this in mind, this paper investigates the efficiency of trade in Serbia based on the Promethee method. Using this method, in relation to the analysis of the analysis, we can more accurately assess the efficiency of trade in Serbia in the function of improvement in the future by taking appropriate more efficient measures. The results of research obtained using the Promethee method show that the efficiency of trade in Serbia has been continuously increasing recently. It was the best in 2020. It was positively influenced by numerous macro and micro factors, such as: favorable economic climate, low inflation, lower interest rates, foreign retail chains, increased employment, increased living standards, stable exchange rate, digitalization of the entire business, etc. The impact of the Covid-19 coronary virus pandemic on trade efficiency in Serbia is negligible. It is, among other things, largely neutralized with the increase in electronic sales. This is the case in other countries as well (as evidenced by the recently published available empirical data of Eurostat for European Union distribution trade). Empirical research shows that this is not, however, the case with other sectors in Serbia, such as transport and storage, tourism and catering, banks, etc. To increase (or maintain the existing) efficiency of trade in Serbia in the future, it is necessary to improve the efficiency of management of human resources, assets, capital, sales and profits. The main problem is that there are no similar empirical studies of trade efficiency in other countries, which limits international comparison. This paper can therefore serve as an impetus for future similar empirical research.

ASEAN AS AN OPTIMAL/NONOPTIMAL CURRENCY AREA

ASEAN AS AN OPTIMAL/NONOPTIMAL CURRENCY AREA

Author(s): Paweł Merło,Radosław Kułak,Zbigniew Warzocha / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2021

Economists have been arguing to this day about the benefits and risks of introducing a community currency. It is very difficult to clearly determine which side is right. Most often, scientists refer to the example of the so-called Eurozone, but it is still far from reaching an agreement between supporters and opponents of such a solution. This paper presents the issues of monetary integration in ASEAN+3 (i.e. ASEAN member countries, China, South Korea, and Japan) in terms of the optimal currency area and other necessary conditions for the creation of a sustainable development region. The researchers argue about whether ASEAN+3 should introduce a single currency. Some suggest that the group meets several OCA theory criteria, i.e. labour mobility and economic openness. According to the results of the study, ASEAN+3 is an economically diverse area and there is a lack of institutions enabling effective monetary integration in the short term. Optimization assumptions included in the analysis determine the real chances of development and survival within the currency area. The author’s analysis has indicated that ASEAN+3 should not introduce a single currency for three reasons: failure to meet the optimization criteria, diversification of socio-economic development, lack of an institutional framework and inconsistency in the perception of monetary integration. On the other hand, it should be noted that a single currency could contribute to increasing the monetary security of the entire South-East Asian region, which means that the monetary integration may be a long-term idea.

Barriers for Large Integration of PV and Onshore Wind Energy in the Distribution Network on the Selected European Union Electricity Markets

Barriers for Large Integration of PV and Onshore Wind Energy in the Distribution Network on the Selected European Union Electricity Markets

Author(s): Hanna Bartoszewicz-Burczy / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2022

The European Union (EU) has adopted ambitious and wide-ranging binding targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, energy systems’ transformation, and becoming climate neutral. The transformation of the energy sector towards more sustainable electricity production increases the importance of distributed generation from renewable sources, such as solar photovoltaics (PV) and wind energy. Large integration of PV and onshore wind energy in the EU distribution network is key to success in the energy transition. Despite significant progress in the field of renewable energies’ regulations, in particular, due to the implementation of the RES Directive, several barriers remain, and still, the development of photovoltaics and wind energy are being slowed by various types of market, regulatory barriers, as well as technological and social obstacles. The aim of this article is to investigate the main barriers to the development of distributed generation from renewable sources, such as solar photovoltaics and wind energy, in order to increase their share in the EU electricity market. This paper is focused on the most common regulatory, technological, administrative, financial, social, and environmental barriers, which slow down the large-scale deployment of PV and wind energy into the distribution networks in 5 EU countries: Austria, Greece, France, Poland and Spain and also in Norway.

BOARD MEMBERS’ EDUCATION DIVERSITY AND SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING

BOARD MEMBERS’ EDUCATION DIVERSITY AND SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING

Author(s): Nusirat Ojuolape Gold,Hope Osayantin Aifuwa,Muhammed Kamaldeen Usman,Muhammed Lawal Subair,Albert Osazevbaru,Betsy Moroyin Oloyede / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2021

The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of an educationally diverse board on sustainability reporting of listed consumer goods in Nigeria for the period 2014-2019. We developed a sustainability disclosure index using the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines to score the information content of annual reports relating to sustainability performance. Board members’ education level and background were used to proxy education diversity in the boardroom. We employed descriptive and inferential statistics to summarize the data and to draw an inference on the population studied. Results from the panel least squares regression revealed that board educational background diversity positively and significantly affects the sustainability reporting of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. However, we found no evidence on the nexus between diversity in the level of education of board members and sustainability reporting. The study concluded that board education diversity influences sustainability reporting in Nigeria. Consumer goods firms should frequently conduct workshops and symposiums on environmental and social reporting issues for their board members and employ directors from a diverse educational background into the board.
