To deal with the devastating economic impacts of the pandemic, governments around the world have announced stimulus pack­ages. Given the fiscal burden of health-oriented policies, this study investi­gates the impact of lockdown policies on fiscal policy stimulus packages. Using simple cross-country OLS regression for 162 countries, this study finds that a stricter lockdown policy requires a higher stimulus package. In addi­tion, threshold regression results indicate that a stringent policy is associat­ed with a higher stimulus package for the countries where income distribu­tion is relatively unequal and institutional quality is relatively lower.","PeriodicalId":422603,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Conference EMAN – Economics and Management: How to Cope with Disrupted Times","volume":"4 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":"132987909","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}

This study analyses the impact of the pandemic on innovative agri-food companies from different branches of agro-industrial activity located in Extremadura (Spain) to determine which activities have been most affected and whether there are differences be­tween the actions and changes carried out depending on the nature of the product, process or services. The information was obtained using an online questionnaire in which the research questions were proposed (what conse­quences, actions or changes has the pandemic had on the development of your activities?). Data were analysed descriptively, studying statistically the existence of independence or not between the effects and the actions carried out depending on agri-food industry branches of activity. The main results have shown that in general, all the agro-industrial branches have incorpo­rated changes in their products and services, mainly by providing new and better customer benefits and improving product formats and forms of pay­ment to suppliers","PeriodicalId":422603,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Conference EMAN – Economics and Management: How to Cope with Disrupted Times","volume":"1 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":"128394047","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 declared COVID-19 pandemic has affected al­most all aspects of modern society. This paper examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on secondary education and student achievement in the state graduation exam. Secondary education of the students in Croa­tia has adapted to the new situation with the school closure, online teach­ing and with the adaptation of teaching methods. The purpose of the state graduation exam is to assess and evaluate the achieved knowledge and competences, acquired by education in accordance with general education teaching plans and programmes. For this reason, in this research, an anal­ysis of student performance in the state graduation exam was conducted. The results of the exam of the compulsory part of the state graduation exam in the summer exam period from the school year 2012/2013 until 2020/2021 were observed. In this paper, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sec­ondary education was examined from several different aspects. According to the analyzed indicators, the results showed that there is no significant de­cline in the successful adoption of teaching materials, i.e. there is no reduc­tion in the number of students who successfully passed the state graduation exam. Furthermore, the share of students who passed the state graduation exam within sufficient grades was analyzed, and the results showed that there is no major decline. Lastly, the share of students who passed the state graduation exam and enrolled in some form of higher education was ana­lyzed. The results showed that the number of students who enrolled in some of the study programs of higher education institutions did not decrease.","PeriodicalId":422603,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Conference EMAN – Economics and Management: How to Cope with Disrupted Times","volume":"74 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":"127364162","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}

Vasić, Gordana Prlinčević","doi":"10.31410/eman.2022.213","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31410/eman.2022.213","url":null,"abstract":"The freight-forwarding market is at a tipping point because of the pandemic which dictates a new narrative in business with the changes companies have gone through in all sec­tors. Covid-19 initiated freight-forwarding, logisticians and customs officers to re-assess their strategy and realization of supply chains in line with new technology and digitalization. Intro­ducing digital solutions will be the focus of every part of the supply chain as it will increase the quality of their services and so secure an adequate level of competitiveness in the market. Digital trends surpass traditional business with ease in hopes of clearing existing logistical bottlenecks. Automation of business services, various applications and platforms offers value to all partici­pants in logistical achievements by decreasing cost. One benefit is the personalization of logisti­cal and freight-forwarding services through the creation and processing of data. This work con­siders how customs officers and forwarders tackle digital transformation. Digital transforma­tion in the freight-forwarding branch occurs on three levels. The first level is the new digital strat­egy of the FIATA freight-forwarding association for creating individual electronic documents. The second level encompasses different initiatives (IATA One Record, FEDeRATED, FENIKS, or IPC­SA NoTN) to further connect existing systems, allowing supply chain participants to exchange information and still maintain control over their information. The third level represents the dig­italization of the freight-forwarding companies themselves by introducing new software solu­tions. Customs systems advance at their own pace towards digitalization. Accessible, safe, inte­grated, interoperable electronic customs systems have eased electronic customs formalities to ease logistics in the supply chain when moving goods into/out of the EU. Compatible IT customs systems are built following international standards in terms of data sets which allows interac­tion with customs systems between countries.","PeriodicalId":422603,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Conference EMAN – Economics and Management: How to Cope with Disrupted Times","volume":"16 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":"128843551","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}

Therefore, at the next sale of the same good, the taxpayer can collect VAT and “disappear” without remitting the collected tax. The next taxpayer demands from the tax authority the refund of the same VAT that the previous taxpayer did not pay to the state budget, thus committing the criminal offense of tax evasion which is a predicate offense of money laundering. The conduction of transactions within the framework of carousel fraud generates income suitable for the further process of money laun­dering, although money laundering is possible through the process of carousel fraud as well.","PeriodicalId":422603,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Conference EMAN – Economics and Management: How to Cope with Disrupted Times","volume":"64 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":"122967881","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}

We identified a specific pattern of knowledge conversions/transferring through observations of collaborative activities, followed by questionnaires and interviews with members of the entrepreneurial team. The research pool comprised eleven entrepreneurial teams of 4-6 members each. The predominant objects of conversions and transferring among the entrepreneurial team members and external stakeholders were identified as tacit knowledge types: know-how (what, why), insights, intuition, attitudes, beliefs (as a type of attitudes), and entrepreneurial vision. Types of conver­sions and transferring were the same in all the teams but the application of managerial tools (facilitating means) that allowed transferring/conversions varied. The identified specificity of knowledge processing could be used to optimize those tools/methods by elaborating specific measurable criteria of how efficiently tacit knowledge was transferred and converted.","PeriodicalId":422603,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Conference EMAN – Economics and Management: How to Cope with Disrupted Times","volume":"18 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":"123859014","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}

Concern about physical health was soon followed by con­cern about financial health. Companies, as the main contributors to society, faced a multitude of liabilities and costs, which they were not prepared for. The paralysis of economic activity inevitably led to a money supply deficit. This compelled governments, in cooperation with financial system agents, to alternate mechanisms that would hopefully curb the ‘domino’ effect but also inhibit a deep economic recession. The lack of liquidity to survive and operate throughout the pandemic was a prevailing problem of the time. This article, quite distinct from others, aims at analysing how businesses, by na­ture of the activity, used debt as an instrument to survive Covid-2019. In ad­dition to the analysis of the use of financial resources by third parties (in this period mainly bank loans), the authors study also their trend, before Cov­id-19, in the first wave and a year later under the presence of coronavirus.","PeriodicalId":422603,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Conference EMAN – Economics and Management: How to Cope with Disrupted Times","volume":"26 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114114313","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 international trade of agricultural products appeared to be vitally important in times of such challenges of nowadays as the COVID-19 pandemic, climate changes, turbu­lences on the political scene, etc., which the whole humanity has to face and overcome. The purpose of the article is to assess if the exports of the agricul­tural products from Ukraine to the EU and from Canada to the EU are cor­related and, if they are, how strong the correlation is. The data under anal­ysis are the export amount of goods from the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) groups 0, which comprises food and live animals, and 1, which contains beverages and tobacco. The timeframe under analysis is 10 years – from 2011 to 2020 included. Such simple statistics of the data sets un­der analysis as mean, standard deviation, sum as well as minimum and max­imum values were calculated and compared. The dynamics, yearly changes and general trend lines of the data sets under research were analysed and compared. The general trend lines of the data under analysis were built and the projections for the following two periods were made in the article using the appropriate functions, having chosen from the exponential, linear, loga­rithmic, polynomial and power ones, taking into consideration the values of R² coefficients. The analyses for the data normality distributions were con­ducted. The Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients as well as their p-values of the data researched were calculated and analysed.

The inputs used in this research are the total number of students, the number of academic staff and public expenditure on higher education, while the outputs are the number of graduates, employment rates of recent graduates and the overall score of the EU member state in the Sustainable Devel­opment Goals. Assessing technical efficiency ratios will help us determine which state uses its re­sources most efficiently in the higher education sector.
