The Health Component of the Human Capital and the Economic Output "Abstract: The paper has the aim to explore the relationship between health, as human capital component, not very much investigated so far, and the macroeconomic results. It is analyzed the relationship between the evolution of GDP and statistical indicators reflecting the investment in health, the health status of the population and the resource indicators in the EU Member States. The main conclusions of the study reveal a positive correlation between these indicators, except the health expenditure as percentage of GDP and number of hospitals beds at 100.000 inhabitants.",

ROMANIAN ECONOMIC PROGRAMS AND STRATEGIES FROM THE EU INTEGRATION PERSPECTIVEAbstract: Competition Policy is - by its two components: in a specific language known as "antitrust" and state aid - a barometer of market operation, a component of a functional market economy. Although this chapter makes no direct reference to macroeconomic indicators, the promoted policy is defined by discipline, the behavior of economic actors in the market. The success of the competition policy is reflected in the existence of a strong cultural competition expressed at the level of the economic operators by respecting the game rules set by the legislation,

This article provides an overview of the EU member states from the perspective of taxation vs. economic performance. By correlating the level of applicable taxes in each state with the values of macroeconomic indicators, such as GDP and GDP per capita, as well as the sovereign rating provided by the most important rating agencies, an interesting general picture can be obtained of how government fiscal policies interfere with economic growth or vice versa,

Robustness of Various Capacity Mechanisms to Regulatory Errors Abstract: In the EU, several governments have introduced or are contemplating a capacity mechanism to ensure adequate investment in generation capacity. Previous research has focused on the impacts of capacity mechanisms on installed capacity and cost to consumers in case of efficient regulation. By contrast we find that the choice between capacity mechanisms may be influenced by the extent of regulatory errors as well as whether the mechanisms evaluated from the perspective of consumer cost or from a welfare perspective,

Landmarks of the Romanian Pre-University Education in the Context of European Policies Designed to Overcome the Economic CrisisAbstract:In interdependence with the European and world economy, Romanian economy has experienced in recent years rapid unpredictable changes, which produced a variety of social phenomena with direct effects on educational policies. Pre-university education system provides human potential both for the labour market and for the higher education system. The new approaches of the EU development policies provide that the economic crisis can be surpassed by improving the quality of education and by developing an effective management of changes in relation to the external environment changes. This analysis aims at understanding the harmonization of Romanian educational policies with the EU political agenda, it induces conclusions on two levels of topics on several aspects considered important in the evolution of the system and suggests responses in relation to the generated disruptions. The conclusions drawn and the solutions presented can represent the basis of a thorough research which can be used by any educational manager in establishing the decentralization / institutional development strategies,

The goal of this research is to propose a procedure of innovativeness measurement, taking Summary Innovation Index methodology as a starting point. In contemporary world, innovative activity is perceived as a source of competitiveness and economic growth. New products, utility models, trademarks and creative projects are an important element of present socio-economic reality. In particular, authors focus on selection and application of multivariable statistical analysis to distinguish factors influencing innovativeness of EU economies to the highest degree. The result of quantitative analyses is linear ordering of EU countries by the level of their innovativeness based on the reduced set of diagnostic variables. The rating was compared with the outcome presented in Innovation Union Scoreboard (IUS) with Summary Innovation Index (SII). Conducted analysis proves a convergence between authors’ results and existing ratings of innovativeness. Nevertheless, the main conclusion is that the methodology of innovativeness assessment remains an open issue and requires further research. Especially, it should first and foremost concentrate on deeper verification of a small set of variables that have the strongest impact on innovativeness. It is both, in economic and social interest, to get a clear picture of innovativeness driving forces,

The Notion of “Curator Litis” (Third Curator) in New Civil Legislation and Correspondence with Similar Notions in the EU LegislationAbstract:Starting from Trusteeship institution, as it is the most common, we watched to capture most situations of such notions. I managed to find a correspondent of curatorship in several branches of law, such as: civil law theory, theory of General obligations, contracts, inheritance, family law, commercial law, administrative law, criminal law and law of civil procedure. I had the opportunity to compare the old notions of this regulation with regulation of the new civil code and I found the interest of the legislature into two main Plains: the to regulate matters considered less legislation, but also to adapt the legislation to European novels,

Influence of Europeanisation in the Reform of Public SectorAbstract:The literature seems to agree on two approaches of the concept „Europeanisation”. On the one hand it is considered to be only the process of adopting EU regulations into the national legislations and on the other hand, the reverse process is also considered, meaning the influence each member state could have on the design of European policies that are agreed upon. From this statement, it can be observed that he also includes “institutional structures” in the bunch of characteristics of the Europeanisation. Therefore, a first idea that Europeanisation could have an influence on the reform of the public sector is created, despite the first thoughts that come in one’s mind when the term,

The Principles and Conditions Necessary to the Development of the Romanian TourismAbstract:To increase efficiency of Romanian tourism is a process that needs involvement of local and national authorities both in supporting the tourism market settlement and, its promotion by public bodies, using subventions and fiscal stimulants. Efficiency of the Romanian tourism management includes creation of necessary conditions for a more efficient interaction of the touristic market with EU organizations (first of all by using organizational and economic forms, and also investments in tourism industry). Thus, it is necessary to improve structural organizational relations in tourism, capable to evaluate and implement software of designing and development of the Romanian tourism and effective activities for the development of the business tourism by stressing the optimal use of touristic resources,

The purpose of this article is to present factors determining the effectiveness of new investments in brown coal deposits. It discusses the weak and strong points of brown coal mining in Poland, as well as opportunities and risks in its development. The strong point is that Poland has abundant resources of lignite and the opportunity lies in the rising demand for energy. The weak point is that brown coal emits large amounts of CO2 and risk is perceived in that the EU tightens up its policy on coal-based production of energy. An analysis of all these factors allows reliable assessment of the discount rate on investment projects, which must be known for their profitability to be established,

We investigated the link between stock returns of automobile companies, Fama French factors, and behavioral attention, represented by demand for a selected car brand belonging to an automobile company. Using Google search activity, we focus on the impact of searches about car brands on 17 automobile companies from 2004 to 2020. We concluded that even though general intuition provides positive results, negative historical events can result in a fall in prices in some cases. Dieselgate, an event specific to this industry, engulfed the affected company and resulted in an EU-wide scandal; however, the increase in interest did have not the same effect on automobile companies based in other countries,

CHALLENGE OF MIGRATIONS– THE CASE OF SERBIA Abstract Spring wave of refugees threatens Europe this year 2016. The paper highlights the problems caused by the influx of refugeesin the Republic of Serbia, as well as legal norms in force.In Serbia, the refugees are treated more fairly than in many European countries. Our country is faced with all types of migration. This imposes a number of different yet clearly related challenges for modern migration management. On the territory of the Republic of Serbia there are 82 opened border crossings, of which 50 road, 14 railway, 4 airport, 12 river and 2 ferry. Back in December 2008, the Government of the Republic of Serbia has decided to establish the Center for asylum, which operates within the Commissariat for Refugees. To meet these challenges caused primarily due to a sudden increase in the number of asylum seekers in the Republic of Serbia in 2010, 2011 and 2012, particularly after the intensification of the armed conflict in Syria, the government has opened a new center for asylum in Bogovadja. The situation with migrants is more serious in Serbia and now the checking of all migrants who pass through our country is reinforced. According to the Government’s Decision on the issuing the certificate of entry on the territory of the Republic of Serbia for migrants coming from countries where their lives are in danger (2015), this certificate serves migrants to stay in the Republic of Serbia for a period of 72 hours of its issuance. With this certificate migrants may use the services of banks, stay in establishments providing accommodation and receive the necessary medical help. Holders of these certificates do not acquire the status of asylum seekers in terms of rules for asylum in the Republic of Serbia. In Serbia there is a clear policy of migration management which is carried on through different national strategies and strategic documents for accession to the EU, though migration represent a global phenomenon whose impact and consequences transcend national boundaries. One of the foreign policy priorities of the Republic of Serbia is to be placed on the so-called “white Schengen list”, what necessarily imposes the need of prevention of illegal migration, especially from our country or from other countries through the territory of the Republic of Serbia, toward other EU countries, candidate countries for EU membership, but also to other countries in general,

This paper attempts to evaluate the economic impacts of the Kyoto Protocol by using AIM model. It is estimated that the GDP losses to Japan, US, EU, and Russia would be 0.42%, 0.56%, 0.44%, and 0.25%, respectively in case the Annex B countries ratify the Kyoto Protocol and reduce their emissions without emissions trading and without accounting carbon sink. On the other hand, the GDP losses to Japan and EU would grow when the United States would not ratify the Kyoto Protocol, and it is estimated to fall by 0.48% and 0.47% relative to the base case scenario, respectively. The GDP loss of Russia would be 0.17%. The GDP of US would increase by 0.01%. These losses would be recovered if Kyoto mechanisms were adopted. When the emissions trading would be introduced, the GDP losses to Japan, US, and EU would be 0.14%, 0.33% and 0.19%, respectively and Russia would gain GDP by 3.5%. When carbon sink is accounted, the economic impacts can be reduced further. Even when the amount of tradable carbon is restricted, the impacts will become much less. In addition to emission trading, effects of CDM, price induced technical change, and boycott movement are examined. The paper also analyzed the climatic impacts of the mitigation scenarios. Three scenarios are examined. First scenario assumes a goal of the Kyoto Protocol will be achieved in 2010. The second assumes that USA will not ratify the Kyoto Protocol. The third scenario assumes that the emission is reduced at the rate of 5% per decade after 2020. It is found that the temperature will increase to 2.15 ºC by the year 2100 even if the Annex B countries follow the Kyoto protocol and other appropriate countermeasures are taken. If we postpone the reduction policies, climate impacts will become worse. The implementation of the Kyoto Protocol is necessary to keep the temperature increase in 2100 below 2 ºC,

FOREIGN TRADE AT REGIONAL LEVEL IN ROMANIA AS A TOOL IN BUILDING SMART SPECIALISATION STRATEGIES Abstract: In the context of the new EU Cohesion Policy and Europe 2020 strategy, regions are encouraged to build their own development strategies based on specialisation and innovation. Smart specialisation strategies aim to identify and focus on those activities in which the region has comparative advantages and at the same time, are characterized by a high added value. These activities have the power to bring the greatest benefits to the local and regional economy and, thus, reduce disparities between regions and enhance overall competitiveness of European regions. This paper analyzes data on exports and imports at the county level, on sections and chapters of the Combined Nomenclature in order to identify trends of specialisation of economic activity. Moreover, this approach provides information on the competitiveness of these counties, high export rates indicating a better adaptation to international markets. Results show that the majority of counties import and, at the same time, export machinery and electrical equipment, and textiles and textile articles,

SUSTAINABLE DECISION MAKING UNDER THE CRISIS FOR TOURISM BUSINESSES: A SURVEY OF THE LITERATURE FOR EU MEMBER STATES Abstract: The last years have proven to be particular problematic for member states of UE because of the financial crisis. When we discus about tourism businesses and the measures undertaken by managers to mitigate the effects of the crisis some of them were to reduce the part allocated for expenditures regarding innovation, technologic improvements and went for different types of approaches. An increased attention has been given to sustainable development, sustainable marketing and development in environmental accounting techniques and in our research we explore how they changed the course of the core of the business and how these initiatives are realistic. The overall finding is that sustainable actions exist and they are present in many strategies but they are poorly translated in real actions,

The ‘Expertisation’ of European Studies. A critical perspective on discursive institutionalism Abstract: The paper puts into perspective the conceptual evolution of European Studies and one of its latest theoretically based approaches, Discursive Institutionalism. It argues that in the field of European Studies expert frameworks aiming for ‘answers’ are overshadowing the intellectual efforts striving for ‘questions’. This tendency undermines the proper identification of problems and it also erodes the effectiveness of proposed policy solutions as these recommendations lack the appropriate conceptual foundations. The paper stresses that this negative trend of ‘expertisation’ is particularly relevant nowadays, when the European Union is undoubtedly struggling with challenges of social disengagement, and that research projects are required to apply approaches that can adequately reveal people’s cognitivenormative understandings and ideationally driven praxes, as well as, most importantly, the generative causes behind EU-sceptical attitudes.

THE IMPACT OF USING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND COMMUNICATION IN SCHOOLS IN ROMANIA Abstract: New technologies are a catalyst for education. Technology unlocks educational boundaries, motivates students, improves students' writing and learning skills, promotes individual learning. This sector has become an educational priority and all EU countries are striving to develop ICT skills. Technology is part of the world we live in. Most jobs today require the use of technology. For this reason, the focus is on developing a set of knowledge, skills, attitudes, necessary for access to the labor market, social inclusion, personal development and lifelong learning. The knowledge society has imposed the use of ICT as a necessary condition for the integration of the individual in the labor market and in society. The present paper attempts to provide an overview of the impact that technology has on pupils and teachers in Romanian schools,

Commercial law in Macedonia after 1990 Abstract: With the Declaration of Independence of 17.11.1991 and the entry into force of the Constitution on 20.11.1991, Macedonia was free to draft its own legislation. But the difficult internal and external situation, the unofficial imposition of the Greek embargo since the end of 1991, and the UN embargo on Yugoslavia, which brought losses of US $80 million a month to the new state, had a negative impact on the legislative process. The 1990 (!) amended Yugoslav company law of 1988,4 which replaced the Organization of Associated Labour as a basic economic subject with the "commercial companies" as a new legal concept,5 organized the economic life in public companies and limited liability companies. All Art.s that regulated the economic organizations in Yugoslavia were abolished. This amendment was in force until 30.5.1996. In this sense, main objective of this manuscript is the analysis of the commercial law reforms in Macedonia after the fall of communism towards a free market economy and EU membership,

The Relation between Local Development Strategies and Projects Implemented under ROP 2007-2013 – Axis 5. A Case Study of the Centre RegionAbstract:Tourism is an industry that gained much attention in the past years, both from the media as well as from the business environment, policy makers and civil society. In this context, tourism has been subject to various strategies, plans and policies, at national, regional and local level. But to what degree have these documents been implemented? This paper aims at determining the effectiveness with which tourism development priorities set by regional and local development strategies in the Centre Region have been achieved through projects financed under the Regional Operational Programme 2007-2013, one of the seven operational programmes financed from structural funds in Romania. The analysis offers an insight into the degree to which tourism development and promotion strategies are taken into consideration when writing and submitting applications for EU-funded projects. Thus, the paper poses significant implications both for policy makers and for beneficiaries and potential beneficiaries of projects financed through ROP,

THE IMPACT OF THE APPLICATION OF INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS - A NEW CHALLENGE OF THE KNOWLEDGE ERA Abstract: The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) is a multinational agreement for the purpose of establishing international standards for intellectual property rights enforcement. Disguised as a Trade Agreement, ACTA is far broader in scope. The agreement aims to establish an international legal framework for targeting counterfeit physical goods, such as medicines and violation rights on the Internet, creating a new governing body outside existing forums (World Intellectual Property Organization). This study comprises research on the importance of the E.U. multinational companies dealing with the valuation of their intangibles, analyzing some aspects that will positively or negatively affect values such as brands, movies, software, and other components of the intangible assets. By debating on ACTA interact with the intangible assets managed by a company; having in mind the tremendous importance of these assets, from juridical and financial view, the results are revealed by the for or against arguments. So enforcing international intellectual property rights standards becomes a crucial challenge of the knowledge era,

ESTIMATED DATE OF COMPLETION OF THE PLANNED MOTORWAY SEGMENTS IN THE CENTRAL, NORTH-WESTERN AND WESTERN REGIONS OF ROMANIA Abstract: Romania’s highways are standing ahead of considerably high investments. In the last few decades the transport infrastructure has been pushed into the background due to lack of financial support. The 21st Century has brought important breakthroughs in the building of highways. In the report on global risks in 2013 published by WEF (World Economic Forum) the "The prolonged neglect of infrastructure" is being considered such a risk. Our study focuses on the construction works that have been carried out in the Central, North- Western and Western regions of Romania. The highways of the above mentioned regions will be analysed based on three main points of focus: highways that have already been built, highways currently under construction and highways that are planned to be built. The aim is to present and compare the 3 regions’ highway infrastructure, determination of an approximate end date for the highways that are currently under construction. It has been concluded, that until 2013 the construction work on segments funded by the EU progressed much faster, than the ones funded by the government. The results of the study refer to how soon could the construction works reach an end on segments currently in progress,

Adaptation of Ukrainian legislation on drug trafficking control to the European Union legislation (separate aspects) Abstract: Certain aspects of the adaptation of regulatory legal acts of Ukraine in the field of drug trafficking control to EU legislation were studied. The basis of this study uses an interdisciplinary approach using comparative legal, dialectical and systemic methods. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the world community does not have a unanimous opinion on legal issues and areas of the modern drug control regime that would meet the needs of the social and legal society and the current state of the drug situation in the countries of the world, and health problems. It was established that the adaptation of the regulatory legal acts of Ukraine in the field of drug trafficking control, the fight against their use and treatment of drug addiction of patients should be based on the implementation of public health programs. In its areas, should include the prevention of disease, prolonging life and improving the health and well-being of the entire population, including drugaddicted patients, for whom the state has an inherent responsibility. Ukraine participates in Council of Europe conventions which establish common standards for this organization and the European Union, it is important for the legal regulation of drug control in the health field, but some norms of national legislation require consistency with the norms of UN Conventions, and it is important to use positive legislative experience of selected countries of the European Union. It is proposed to amend the regulatory legal acts that will improve legal ways to protect people's rights to health protection. Classification-JEL: D86, K23, K33, K38,

Depuis une vingtaine d’années et le constat d’un « paradoxe français », la prévention est affichée comme une priorité absolue des réformes du système de santé. Pourtant la dynamique de réforme est lente, puisqu’aujourd’hui encore le bilan d’inégalités sociales de santé criantes reste autant d’actualité. La prévention santé (ou prévention relevant du secteur de la santé) ne se décrète pas seulement: si elle nécessite une articulation entre l’échelon local et national, ou encore des incitations fortes auprès des usagers comme des professionnels de santé, elle doit aussi s’appuyer sur des évaluations économiques qui démontrent l’intérêt potentiel des programmes. Or, la normalisation des procédures institutionnelles et scientifiques d’évaluation a eu tendance à prôner les démarches « ex post » et à verrouiller l’option « ex ante » consistant à mobiliser les outils de l’analyse coûts-bénéfices. Cet article propose de réhabiliter cette méthode de prospective en prévention santé, pour accélérer l’adoption de mesures qui promettent d’atteindre plus d’efficacité technique mais aussi d’efficacité sociale dans le système de santé français,
