2007 State of the Country - REPUBLIC of MOLDOWA

2007 State of the Country - REPUBLIC of MOLDOWA

Author(s): Valeriu Prohniţchi,Alex Oprunenco / Language(s): English

Although, development and modernization of the Republic of Moldova has constantly been on the agenda of the public authorities, civil society and the international community, there has been limited progress in initiating public debates on trends and policies affecting welfare in a long run perspective. The State of Country Report 2007 contains a series of analytical studies that offer some solutions to the problems specific to the process of policy making and policy planning in the Republic of Moldova. The main goal of this collective intellectual effort is to provide those that have the power to decide on key policy issues with an analytical instrument that would facilitate the process of understanding the main social and economic trends and evaluate the available alternatives at their disposal to achieve a specific goal. Because of the combination of a sectorial approach with a global view of the process and perspectives of Moldova's development, this report is unique in its genre. Moreover, the survey conducted within the framework of the report sheds light on citizens' pessimistic view on the current state of affairs. In order to overcome this socially sub-optimal equilibrium, the authors point out to a series of challenges and opportunities which should be taken into account by the current and future generations of policy makers.

Implementation of the EU-Moldova Action Plan

Realizarea Planului de Acţiuni UE-Moldova

Author(s): Igor Boţan,Alexandru Gamanjii,Iurie Gotişan,Corneliu Gurin,Alex Oprunenco,Ana Popa,Valeriu Prohniţchi / Language(s): Romanian

Keywords: Moslova-EU-Partnership;

The implementation of PAUEM represented, with certainty, an effort to modernize the Republic of Moldova. Whatever the level of estimation of the degree of implementation of PAUEM, it is a positive one, even if it is, at the same time, insufficient. In such circumstances, it is the honor of the exponents of the Moldovan political class, who signed the Declaration on the political partnership for achieving the objectives of European integration, to continue reforming and modernizing society in order to reach EU standards. The discrepancy between the level of modernization achieved by the Republic of Moldova and the minimum standards of the EU requires that the Moldovan political forces redo their agendas, emphasizing not so much doctrinal subtleties, but the urgent need to overcome handicaps. From this point of view, the primary imperative of the democratic political struggle should be reduced to the competition to optimize the speed and costs of overcoming them, another goal worthy of the citizens' attention being simply missing.

The investment attractiveness of the regions of the Republic of Moldova

Atractivitatea investiţională a regiunilor din Republica Moldova

Author(s): Valeriu Prohniţchi / Language(s): Romanian

Keywords: Foreign investments in Modlova; Regional investment in Moldova;

The purpose of this study is to analyze the investment phenomenon in the regions of the Republic of Moldova (let's specify that by the term "region" in this document we generally mean the districts, the municipalities, the autonomous territorial unit Gagauzia, as well as the development regions North, Center and South). In the first chapter of this study, an analysis of the evolution and current economic status of the regions of the Republic of Moldova is carried out. We also analyze the evolution of investments in these regions and, based on statistical data, we try to identify the key factors that attract or repel investments at the regional level. // The second chapter includes the rating of the investment performance of the regions of Moldova, a rating that the authors intend to update once every two years. The investment performance rating of the regions is based on the estimation of the current investment performance indicators, the investment dynamics in the period 2003-2008, the stability of investment flows in the same period, as well as the healthy diversification of investments in different sectors of the local economy. // Chapter three is focused on the analysis of the policy framework that influences the attraction and intensification of investments at the regional level. It begins with a brief exposition of those major developments in regional politics and decentralization that are relevant from the perspective of attracting investments. // Chapter three is focused on the analysis of the policy framework that influences the attraction and intensification of investments at the regional level.

Investigating the Transparency and Economic Efficiency of the Use of Funds of the National Medical Insurance Company

Investigarea transparenţei şi efi cienţei economice a utilizării fondurilor Companiei Naţionale de Asigurări în Medicină

Author(s): Alex Oprunenco,Ana Popa,Evelina Gherghelegiu / Language(s): Romanian

Keywords: Health-care in Moldova; Medical Insurance;

The Republic of Moldova ranks unfavorably in most of the indicators that measure the health status of the population, which denotes both the existence of some deficiencies in the health care system in the Republic of Moldova, as well as the relatively increased financing needs of this system. Moreover, the share of health expenditures in GDP is the highest in Moldova compared to the countries in the region, with public expenditures covering only half of the total expenditures. Certainly, such a high share of health expenditures in GDP, and especially of private expenditures, can reflect both the very high financing needs and the inefficiency of public expenditures. Our country is facing serious problems in the functioning of the health protection system. This has negative implications for the health of the population, the quality of human capital and the confidence of citizens towards the future of this country. Consequently, the inclinations for emigration are intensifying, and corruption in the health system is becoming more and more rampant.

European Aspirations and Human Development of the Republic of Moldova: National Human Development Report 2012

European Aspirations and Human Development of the Republic of Moldova: National Human Development Report 2012

Author(s): Valeriu Prohniţchi / Language(s): English

The European integration aspirations of the country cannot be seen outside the current development context. The report examines the main obstacles and opportunities, placing them in a wider context of the political, economic and social transformations the country is going through. Like any social process, European integration cannot have a linear trajectory and is not a one-way street. Th e process must be seen as a multidimensional one. It does not bring benefi ts and advantages alone. In addition to the eff orts of politicians or technocrats, it requires eff orts from the entire society - shifts in mindsets and attitudes by every Moldovan, and obviously an unparalleled communication within and cohesion of the society. I believe this should be the recipe for success.

Why do women have lower lifetime earnings than men? Evaluation based on national transfer accounts in the Republic of Moldova

De ce femeile au venituri mai mici decât bărbații pe tot parcursul vieții? Evaluare în baza conturilor naționale de transfer în Republica Moldova

Author(s): Olga Gagauz / Language(s): Romanian

The analysis of intergenerational transfers provides an opportunity for understanding the interaction between the age structure of the population and well-being. The National Transfer Accounts methodology expands possibilities for a comprehensive description of income and consumption by age and sex, reallocations by age, both public and private, asset-based transfers and reallocations, building a generational economy account consistent with national accounts. The key category of the CNT presents the life-cycle deficit, which is calculated as the difference between age-specific consumption (private and public) and labor income. The life cycle deficit allows the measurement and analysis of the degree of economic dependence of the population during its lifetime.
