By employing a dummy regression model with a GJR-GARCH and EGARCH frameworks, the results show that Euronext is the main transmission channel for most analyzed markets. Latvia, Russia and Serbia were affected by the London Stock Exchange, while Slovakia showed no contagion. These results show that the crisis’s effects and transmission were not identical worldwide. This suggests that measures created to mitigate such crises should be tailored to each market.","PeriodicalId":45883,"journal":{"name":"Eastern European Economics","volume":"61 1","pages":"318 - 352"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46962940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This, in turn, should yield increased firm productivity.

The results emphasize the central role of tax morale, in generating intolerance toward informal practices and internalized motivations for compliance. In addition, peer influence shapes the decision to adopt informal practices whereas deterrent measures have no significant impact.","PeriodicalId":45883,"journal":{"name":"Eastern European Economics","volume":"60 1","pages":"559 - 577"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45185581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We first present a theoretical framework based on a supply and demand model for sectoral output. This model predicts that the impact of AI will depend on the response of labor demand to two opposing forces: as productivity improves less labor is required to produce the same output, while more output is demanded because of lower production costs brought about by higher productivity, which creates more jobs. Our estimates of the industry-level elasticities of employment with respect to productivity for a sample of 32 industries over 1995–2017 using a Bayesian multilevel approach are all negative and surprisingly similar across sectors.","PeriodicalId":45883,"journal":{"name":"Eastern European Economics","volume":"61 1","pages":"353 - 377"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48020697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While positive oil-price shocks contribute to bank stability in the long run, an opposite effect is recorded for negative shocks. However, no significant impact is documented in the short run.
