The main objective of this research was to provide an overview of the current status of the Visegrad Group (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) in EGDI development and compare the level of this index. The results show firstly that the monitored group of countries are placed at the end of EU ranking and secondly that while Poland has improved its level, the Czech Republic is lagging behind.","PeriodicalId":360974,"journal":{"name":"Balkans Journal of Emerging Trends in Social Sciences","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123249507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of our study was to examine changes in the basic segments of the economic structure of European countries. The\u0000development of segments is assessed through the indicator of gross added value (in current prices) and employment in the period 1995 to 2017. We compared the situation of the two main groups of European countries - the original and new EU countries. We note that there are significant differences between these groups, especially in the 1990s. Subsequently, there have been changes in the structure of new countries that have narrowed the gap between countries. The structural gap between countries has slowly diminished in average. However, the crisis has significantly delayed the process of convergence and the economic recovery period has not recovered to the pre-crisis situation. On the contrary, after the end of crisis the structural gap has thus re-expanded in a number of cases. In this article we target on the comparison of Estonia and Germany. Estonia represents precisely the group of countries whose structural gap has widened after the end of the crisis. On the other hand, the German economy is seen as a stable backbone of European politics and economics. We considered Germany the most economically strong representative of the old EU countries. From this point of view, our research was based on the assumption that Estonia wants to bring its economy closer to Germany’s economy. We monitored whether the Estonian economy was getting closer or moved away from the German economy. Our results confirmed that Germany’s economy is stable and more or less unchanged for more than 20 years. However, the assumption that Estonia’s economy is moving closer to Germany’s economy has not been confirmed. The opposite is probably true.","PeriodicalId":360974,"journal":{"name":"Balkans Journal of Emerging Trends in Social Sciences","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121239189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The external opportunities and threats facing the Bulgarian economy under a currency board arrangement and a membership in the European Union have been outlined.

To test that we use the presence and the magnitude of manifestation of market phenomena called volatility paradox. This paradox raises the question whether its presence in the conditions of the sustainable ascending market trend during the post-crisis recovery is not a signal marking the potential for a new forthcoming financial crisis. Studying the periods before and after the 2008 global financial crisis can give us a pattern market dynamics of volatility paradox manifestation in the pre-crisis period which can be traced out in the post-crisis period. If the existence of volatility paradox is possible, it should be seen in the pre-crisis period up to 2008. Its power of manifestation during this period should serve as a benchmark for verifying the post-crisis VP, both as an existence and as a size of manifestation compared to the demonstrated until 2008. The empirical results show that the market dynamics of the EURO STOXX 50 index proves the existence of volatility paradox, both in the pre- and the post-crisis period. For the same two periods for the shares included in the EURO STOXX 50 the existence of volatility paradox is not detected. Moreover, the shares of the EURO STOXX 50 index show higher market efficiency in the context of EMH in comparison with the index itself. The empirical research was made using market dynamics of the EURO STOXX 50 index and the shares it’s incorporated in the period 2005 - 2017. In this research, we use the daily returns of the explored index and shares whose volatility was modeled by TGARCH models.","PeriodicalId":360974,"journal":{"name":"Balkans Journal of Emerging Trends in Social Sciences","volume":"74 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130910972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the purpose of our research, we have used a random sample of 594 respondents who are employed in both the public and the private sector in Slovenia. The main goal of the research is to contribute to the understanding of how one independent variable (X1- a Dummy variable for Leadership style; X1= 0 mostly or over 50% of the leaders use the autocratic style of leadership; X1= 1 otherwise) impacts the Y variable (employee engagement). Online surveys combined with face-to-face as well as online interviews were carried out from 4 January to 14 March 2016. For statistical analysis, IBM SPSS 20 has been used and linear regression analysis applied. Based on the linear regression F (1, 586) =1.786, p-value = 0.182, R-square = 0.003), we have found out that there is not any statistically significant (at the 5% significance level) correlation between leadership style and employee engagement.

Moreover, there is no statistically significant difference at the 5% significance level in leadership styles that are used between genders.","PeriodicalId":360974,"journal":{"name":"Balkans Journal of Emerging Trends in Social Sciences","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127791032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
