Kozera, Aldona Standar","doi":"10.15414/isd2018.s6.06","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15414/isd2018.s6.06","url":null,"abstract":"The main purpose of this paper is to assess the level of taxes imposed on farms in European Union countries. Due to multidimensional nature of the issue under consideration, the level of EU farm taxation was assessed with taxonomic methods (structural classification methods). The empirical study was based on 2013-2015 FADN data. To illustrate the differences between taxes imposed on farms in EU countries, a multidimensional analysis based on the Ward’s method was performed. To interpret the results of classification results, characteristic features were identified in typological classes. For that purpose, the pseudo-test of differences of means was calculated. Based on this study, the level of farm taxation was found to differ significantly across European Union countries. Countries with high farm taxation levels accounted for around one third of the examined population. The highest taxation burden was observed in Dutch, Italian and Danish farms, whereas the lowest taxes were imposed on British, Lithuanian, Slovenian, Swedish and Irish farms. However, some patterns were revealed by the empirical study. Farms dealing with higher taxation levels were economically stronger and usually had a small area of agricultural land. They followed an intensive production strategy and demonstrated higher management efficiency, as reflected by several aspects, including the relatively small share of EU operating subsidies in family farming incomes.","PeriodicalId":232846,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Days 2018.

Paluch","doi":"10.15414/ISD2018.S4.17","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15414/ISD2018.S4.17","url":null,"abstract":"The paper aimed at an identification and estimation of development of the market for sulphur-calcium fertilizers derived from by-products of hard coal combustion in thermal power and power plants in Poland.Obtained data and quantitative and qualitative information were processed using the methodology usually applied in the subject literature to conduct the research and analyses of this type, and the results were presented as estimations and forecasts. Assessment of the sales market potential for sulphur-calcium fertilizers was made on the basis of crop requirements for sulphur and calcium and their cultivation area. The analysis made use of standard balance methodologies and laboratory tests, which allowed to estimate the requirements for sulphur and calcium in plants constituting the greatest share in the cropping area of individual farms, which according to the classification of the Central Statistical Office are situated in six regions of Poland, including the provinces in their areas. Basing on the estimation of sales potential for sulphur-calcium fertilizers made on the basis of the crop requirement for sulphur and calcium and their cultivation area in Poland, it may be assumed that the prospect for market development is https://doi.org/10.15414/isd2018.s4.17 INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC DAYS 2018 1102 highly favourable. It may be forecasted, that in future an upward demand trend will be observed on sulphur-calcium fertilizer market in Poland, particularly on the level of commercial agriculture, because the increasingly more apparent negligence concerning progressive soil acidification will cause a necessity for application of a considerably greater amount of calcium fertilizers for recultivation of arable lands on farms. An additional advantage of these fertilizer products is the fact that as a source of assimilable sulphur they provide a considerably cheaper alternative for multi component mineral fertilizers, whose necessary application in intensive agricultural production involves high outlays. This property is particularly important also in the situation of increasingly higher sulphur deficiency in arable soils and yearly growing popularity of sulphur-loving plants, economically important in Poland. Marketing of a sulphur-calcium fertilizer, containing greater amounts of sulphur (considering pure component) and some amount of microelements at more competitive market prices, may prove a good alternative for agricultural producers. The more so, as it is a by-product of some other production process, which is important from the cost intensity point of view of its manufacturing and advantageous considering the realization of aims and assumptions of sustainable development.","PeriodicalId":232846,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Days 2018.

It is, therefore, nat-ural that new demands are constantly being put on education in the information society. The current trend in pupil education and education is the requirement for the pedagogue's ability to work effectively with information and lead to his / her pupils. In order to be able to survive in an informational society, it is necessary to emphasize digital and information literacy and the associated modern educational process.

With the process of globalization, Governments also began utilizing subsidies with the intent of attracting foreign direct investments. This practice has remained until today, when many countries, including Serbia, still use subsidies and other instruments (e.g. tax incentives) in order to encourage both foreign and domestic investments, increase employment and accelerate regional and technological development. Challenges and questions about optimal institutional design, minimal criteria that investors have to fulfill, optimal level of subsidies remain the same. Bearing in mind the increase in expenditures on this type of subsidy in Serbia, there is a need to assess the efficiency of this policy. In this paper, it is done usingΝstochasticΝfrontierΝanalysisΝ(SόA)έΝToΝtheΝextentΝofΝtheΝauthors’Νknowledge,Ν this is the first paper in which stochastic frontier analysis is implemented in an attempt to capture inefficiencies of subsidizing policy. The results show that there were potential budget savings that could have been achieved. In other words, there were some investment projects that were overpaid by the Government of Serbia. In addition, we believe that framework established in this paper could be used as a guide for future policy practice. In the end, suggestions are given for further research which would give broader and more precise results.","PeriodicalId":232846,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Days 2018.

Ranked frequently by the prestigious Media and World Tourism Organizations, Albania is being presented as one of the favorite destinations in the last decade. Gross Domestic Product growth with 8.4% and employment of human resources to 23.9% of total employment, at different levels, have made tourism one of the most powerful sectors with total support of Central Government. Tourism is one of the few branches of the economy that competes with dignity in the international market. Albania has a full package of tourism products in its portfolio, such as,: cultural, natural, health and conference / business tourism. As a package it creates the opportunity to expand the group of visitors who displays special interests for tourist activities. Lack of public and private investment, lack of well-known hotel brands and tour operators, informality, lack of human resource training, competition analysis, poor technology utilization, legal framework, lack of standardization have made Albania compared to Region and those of the European Countries, to have disadvantages in a normal development of tourism. In this study we have analyzed as well, 4P Marketing in Albanian Tourism, such as Product, Price, Place and Promotion. We also investigated the Location Marketing (“Albania Go on Your Way” slogan), Activity Marketing (hiking, canyon, camping), corporate marketing etc. The results achieved by the use of marketing elements and design of marketing plans by promoting and supporting as key columns of the country’s economy. The statistical analysis from 2011 to 2017 on the progress of Tourism growth and effects in economy will be on focus of our paper.

However, some cases of granting permission to purchase property to foreigners were noted during this period. Owing to experiences of other countries and because of the danger of strengthening speculative practises on the market, new regulations governing the agricultural land turnover entered into force in 2016. As has been presented by statistical data, the provisions efficiently cut of the access to Poland’s land for foreigners, but also for some Polish citizens.
