(Nie)zależność finansowa państwa we współczesnej gospodarce rynkowej

Author(s): Piotr Misztal / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2019

State financial independence refers to the ability of the government to finance all state expenditure solely from the budgetary revenue attained. Thus, the full financial autonomy of the state means that the government finances the budgetary expenditures without having to borrow money. Therefore, the aim of this article is to examine the possibility for states to achieve full financial autonomy in the contemporary world economy. The results of the studies show that almost all countries now have a large or small public debt, which means that countries finance their development by borrowing money at home and abroad. The important issue seems to be not so much to maintain the full financial independence of the State as to guarantee the financial security of the state (that is, to maintain the ability of the state to raise money when necessary).

(Нео)протекционизам и светска економска криза

Author(s): Branislav M. Pelević,Vladimir M. Ristanović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 4/2011

The collapse of international trade is aftermath of global economic crisis in 2008. Decline in trade was even higher compared with the period of the Great Depression and, moreover, international trade has recorded a much greater decline than the world’s gross domestic product. Previous causality has been confirmed in Serbia and global crisis hit the economy of Serbia with the lag of one quarter. Initial fall in output and trade was smaller in the world than in Serbia. Growingprotectionism is not among the main causes of the collapse of the trade, but it is its essential companion. Protectionism, however, can provide positive effects only in short term. It leads to a decrease in exports, employment and income in other countries, but will invariably have feedback - leading to the fall for products imported from countries that increased protection. Opening the market undoubtedly contributes to more efficient and dynamic growth.

10 lat członkostwa Polski w Unii Europejskiej. Skutki włączenia do jednolitego rynku europejskiego

Author(s): Małgorzata Czermińska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2014

The inclusion of Poland to the common market for goods meant the abolition of customs duties and quantitative restrictions on agricultural products in mutual trade with the countries of the European Union (customs duties on industrial goods have already been abolished by the Europe Agreement) and the application of the Common Customs Tariff on imports from third countries. Freedom of movement of goods after the accession to the EU accounted for Polish entrepreneurs a chance, because the fulfillment of EU norms and standards means full access to the common market, amounting to more than 500 million inhabitants. Particularly noticeable was the impact of accession on foreign trade, which, thanks to the membership not only gained easier access to the common market, but also new opportunities to increase trade with third countries. Since Polish accession to the EU gradually increased trade in agricultural products as well as their participation in the Polish foreign trade. Emigration of Poles also increased significantly, especially to countries that with effect from 1 May 2004 opened their labor markets, namely the United Kingdom, Ireland. In the final evaluation of the benefits of joining the common market and free movement of goods, persons, services and capital far outweigh, in both the scale of the economy and at the micro level, the costs associated with membership in the European common market.

10 Years of EU Membership: Diverging Performances in New Member States Agriculture

Author(s): Attila Jambor,Miklós SOMAI,Sándor Kovács / Language(s): English Issue: 05/2016

More than 10 years have passed since the 2004 accession round to the European Union. The tenth anniversary provides a good opportunity for stocktaking and assessing the agricultural developments of the New Member States (NMS) in light of the latest data available. The aim of this paper is to assess agricultural performances of NMS and to identify the winners and losers of accession in this regard. By ranking individual country performances using Parallel Factor Analysis (PARAFAC), our results suggest that Poland and the Baltic countries can be treated as the winners of EU accession in agriculture, while Romania and Bulgaria proved to have used their potentials to the least. Results also suggest that focusing on high value added agri-food products proved to be a good strategy to reach development in the agriculture sector, while those countries concentrating on the production of agri-food raw materials turned out to be lagged behind.

POSSIBILITY OF RAPID CHANGES IN SMALL ECONOMIES IN CONDITIONS OF THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

1989: Szempontok a rendszerváltás globális politikai gazdaságtanához

Author(s): Márk Áron Éber,Ágnes Gagyi,Tamás Gerőcs,Csaba Jelinek,András Pinkasz / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 21/2014

This article rethinks 1989 – the year commonly treated as a milestone of regime change. As contrary to this narrow view, and with the aim of laying out the conceptual foundations of possible future research projects, we give a short overview of the way Hungary became incorporated into the capitalist world system and of the key global, economic, and geopolitical factors that influenced its dependent development. For this we present a historically sensitive, global political economic narrative within which we pay special attention to the way public debt had been accumulated and how this, in turn, shaped Hungary’s position within the world system. After our analysis of the regime change we continue with an overview of the main structural dynamics of the last two decades. Finally, through two short case studies, we show how our perspective can throw new light on the political ideologies and economic policies of the era. The accumulation of state debt was not a Hungarian specificity: instead, we argue that it was rather a result of the global restructuring process and of its concomitant effect of decreasing national state-sovereignty. In the following manner, we also argue that the emergence of debates (which were central in evaluating the regime change, revolving around issues like „democracy” vs. „dictatorship” or „planning” vs. „market”) can be better understood within our global, historical, and political economic analytical framework. In the long run we identify two economic development strategies – namely, the strategy of liberalization and the strategy of protectionism – both structured around the, nonetheless entirely unfulfilled, hope of overcoming Hungary’s semi-peripheral position by „catching up” to its Western neighbors. These strategies then can be analyzed on the base of how they relate to global cycles of accumulation; how their shifts were influenced by changes in the world system; and, in turn, how these strategies organized both various elite projects shaped by global cyclical dynamics and the interpretations about our historically unfolding dependent position.

1997 Asya Krizinin Merkezindeki Üç Ülkede Çeyrekler Îtibarıyle Finansal Kabarcıklar ve Kabarcık Patlamaları: Güney Kore, Filipinler, Tayland (1990-2019)

Author(s): Cengiz Samur / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 1/2022

The bubble of price, as theoretical, is “too big deviation of asset’s price from its fundamental (intrinsic) value”. In regard to the country, as empirical; (i) financial asset price bubble happens when “a change (increase) in the financial nominal price index (percent) exceeds the sum of inflation and economic growth rates, at least as 25 %”, on the other hand, (ii) the bubble burst happens when there is “a too sharp decline in the financial asset nominal price index”, and when there is a decrease in the index in related to the total of inflation and growth rates, at least as 20%. Since the 2008 Financial Crisis, the debate of “financial bubbles and correct monetary policy” has been blown: Is macroeconomic stability possible in the country without financial stability? Is it required and possible to prevent a bubble formation and its growth? What should the Central Bank do? How should the monetary policy respond to the bubbles? The study is important due to its contribution to this debate. In this study, the financial bubbles that occurred quarterly in the period of 1990-2019 and in the three countries (in South Korea, Philippines, and Thailand) , which were amongst the countries at the core of the 1997 Asian crisis, are handled. They are essentially focused on the bubble bursts. It is the purpose to determine there is a connection between bubble burst cases and cumulative real cost, decrease in growth rate, or economic contraction. If there is a strong relation, to maintain macroeconomic stability in the markets, the government has to fulfill proactive (macroprudential) policies and has to intervene not only on bubble bursts, but also on bubble’s formation. However, some relations with only weak or middle degrees were reached.

2008 Krizinin Bulaşma Etkisi: Bir Finansal Kriz Göstergesi Olarak Hisse Senedi Fiyat Endeksi Üzerine Bir Analiz

Author(s): Ceren Kocabaş / Language(s): Turkish Issue: Special/2016

Contagion can be expressed as the spillover of any shock across countries, and a change in market sensibility. In this study, in addition to the expression of the notion of contagion within the literature, there will be an analysis of the 2008 crisis using monthly data of the variable of stock price indices from January 2004 to December 2013 using the MA(1)-GARCH(1,1)-M method. According to the results obtained, it was observed that there was an increase in stock price volatility in the crisis period, and it was determined that most countries in different parts of the world were affected by the crisis which arose in the American mortgage market, and that the contagion occurred because of the financial channel.

Author(s): Fatih Konak,Sevim Ergenoğlu / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 2/2020

In the period until and after the history of humanity found money, the hiding, evaluation and exchange processes of certain values constituted the economic life of people throughout history. The invention of money and the increase in human interactions required the existence of institutions that regulate economic events. Banks born out of this need have started to ensure that individuals and institutions perform their financial transactions in a regular way. Banks, which expanded their job definition over time, started to provide many services to individuals and institutions. Competition of financial institutions and banks that increased over time led banks to take actions to increase their profitability. In this context, the main purpose of the study is to determine the variables that affect the profitability of the 24 banks in the Turkish Banking Sector between the years 2009-2018 after the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. According to the findings reached in the study using panel data regression method; It has been observed that the variables such as capital ratio, liquidity risk, level of lending, bank size and concentration give statistically significant results in explaining the change in performance.

2013-2015 Yılları Katılım Ve Geleneksel Bankacılık Karşılaştırması: Türkiye Örneği

Author(s): Selçuk Bakan / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 36/2017

The fact that the interest, which is a must in the banking sector, is forbidden in the Islamic religion directs individuals to interest-free banking in Muslim societies. This case leads to an increased interest in the Islamic finance and Islamic banking in the world economy. In Turkey, the participation banking sector, which is the manifestation of interest-free banking, has demonstrated a rapid growth in recent years. This study provides information about Islamic finance, Islamic banking and participation banking, analyses some financial titles about the participation banking sector in Turkey between 2013 and 2015, compares and contrasts between general banking and participation banking, and analyses the state of participation banking sector. Findings show that while there was a decline in the participation banking sector in 2015 compared to 2013, there was a development in the traditional banking data in the same years. It is believed that the transfer of Bank Asya, one of the participation banks, from the Bank to the Savings Deposit Insurance Fund by the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency and the subsequent process has an important effect in this decline. If necessary measures are taken for the participation banking sector and if the negative issues are not repeated, it can be said that this sector which is developing all over the world can continue its development in Turkey as well.

Author(s): Martin Vlachynský / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The year 2018 started with a dip and ended with a dip. While the first dip encouraged investors to buy, the second sowed fear. With fiscal problems in France and Italy, Brexit plans going round in circles and a headstrong US president, recession became the popular talking point of late 2018. The 2019 response to this was a turnaround in monetary policy in Europe and the United States. Central banks acted to keep the veil of prosperity firmly in place. However, as 2019 continued, problems could be glimpsed behind the veil.

Author(s): Çağrı Kürşat Yüce / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 17/2013

Energy consumption and the need to continue on a global scale, as in the past and in recent years. Oil and natural gas will continue to be the primary energy source until 2030 despite all the alternatives to meet this need. As a result of this situation, energy resources will continue to be one of the most important determinants of the twenty-first century. In addition, at least a half century, dominance of oil in the field of energy will continue to. Energy experts frequently reported that the “cheap oil” era has ended and price volatility in the oil market will continue to today.The Caucasus and Turkestan (Central Asia) regions including the Turkish Republics maintained its importance throughout history due to various reasons. Today, however, due to the rich energy resources, especially oil and natural gas, they took part in the world’s agenda. In this study, the important actors of the energy wars and reserve status of the energy resources of the Turkish Republics in the Caucasus and Turkestan regions were briefly described. In addition, as well as importance of energy resources for the region and the world’s nations, beginning in the late twentieth century and growing competition over energy resources of the Caspian Sea were discussed today.

5G ÎN SERVICIUL ECONOMIEI

Author(s): Alexandru Gribincea,Rabah Kouzly / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1-2/2021

Countries were involved in competition to be the first to deploy fifth-generation mobile networks, as many are at stake. Although technologies capable of unlocking the full potential of 5G - autopilot cars, virtual reality, remote surgery, smart things, smart cities - will not appear in a few years, leadership in building these networks will bring great benefits to its countries and economies. At least that was the case with 4G. If it weren't for the early emergence of fourth-generation networks in the US, the country would have struggled to dominate mobile technology, and Facebook, Netflix, Instagram and Snapchat may not have become global platforms. It is important that the US does not hesitate to launch 5G so as not to lose its competitive advantage on the global stage, McDowell said. To date, China, South Korea, the United States and Japan are leaders in this field.

Author(s): Ahmet Gümüş / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2020

Purpose – This study aims to make bibliometric analyses of the articles in academic journals searched between 2010 and 2019 in scientific databases about innovation from the perspective of the tourism sector. Design/methodology/approach – A qualitative search and bibliometric analysis method have been preferred in this study. To this end, 117 articles about innovation in the tourism sector were examined through a bibliometric analysis method within a framework of 10 parameters in various scientific databases between the specified years. The bibliometric data regarding the last 10 years were transferred into a spreadsheet, then their frequency and percentage analyses were made by the SPSS 23 statistical packet software. Findings – Accordingly, it was seen that most of the articles were published in the journal "International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management" in 2016 and that the study field of "innovation" was the most-frequently handled topic in tourism businesses. Examining the parameters of the number of authors, method, and data collection tool, it was found that most of the articles were written by two authors and the quantitative research method and surveys were mostly preferred by the authors. Discussion – In terms of number of authors, method and data collection tool, it was understood that the articles partially overlapped with the literature. It is thought that this study will contribute not only to the literature and the researchers interested in the field but also to the productivity and competitiveness in the sector.
