{"title":"What drives movements in the REER of the SEE countries? A decomposition approach","authors":"Aleksandra Đorđević","doi":"10.5937/ekopre2306271d","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5937/ekopre2306271d","url":null,"abstract":"The real effective exchange rate (REER) is an important indicator for researchers and policymakers that contains valuable information about a country's competitiveness and economic performance. Despite the numerous literature that deals with the analysis of exchange rates, there are very few analyzes of the main drivers of REER changes, especially when it comes to transition economies. To fill this gap, we analyze the shifting patterns observed in the REER movement in the countries of Southeast Europe (SEE). By using a new approach in the literature that enables the decomposition of REER changes, we aim to explore the underlying driving forces behind REER changes, which is particularly significant in the light of current global instability. The results show large variations across eight countries from the SEE region and through time since the beginning of the 21st century. The entire observed period can be generally characterized as a period of real appreciation of the currencies of most of the analyzed countries, which indicates the deterioration of their international competitiveness in the period from January 2001 to December 2020. Analysis of the drivers of the REER changes, using two approaches, showed that short-run REER changes are dominated by the nominal effective exchange rate (NEER) changes, in most of the analyzed countries. Although the contribution of price changes (domestic and foreign) is lower than the contribution of the NEER changes, it cannot be concluded that the inflation differential contributes little, and by no means negligible, to the REER changes. This result indicates the necessary caution of the SEE countries in the context of current price instabilities.","PeriodicalId":483971,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomika preduzeća","volume":"145 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135213858","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}

In difficult economic times caused by coronavirus, companies that supplied logistical services assisted other businesses in successfully conducting their daily business operations. On the other side, the pandemic has been a contributing factor in the massive interruption in transportation flows all over the world. The research was conducted on a sample of 798 active companies that operated within the logistics industry of the Western Balkans in the period from 2015 to 2020. An empirical research was performed using panel regression analysis. Evaluation of the fixed-effect models confirmed the existence of a positive and statistically significant impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the profitability expressed through return on total assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). The results confirmed the specificity of the logistics industry, indicating that it is one of the few industries that have managed to achieve higher profitability during the crisis and recession brought by the pandemic in early 2020. Given that the logistics sector has played a vital role in supplying household supplies, medicines and medical equipment, the results could help logistics companies to further improve operational performance and risk management in pandemic situations, as well as to improve the resilience of their activities to future similar crises.","PeriodicalId":483971,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomika preduzeća","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134884867","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}

At a global level, companies are confronted with increasingly shorter business longevity, largely caused by the impact of megatrends. Considering that the influence of megatrends is omnipresent, and that their effects cannot be completely eliminated, the only option remaining is for management to provide an adequate response to their emergence, which simultaneously requires awareness of current and future megatrend developments. A specific focus of this study is examining the prevalence of strategic foresight and analysis of megatrends within a sample of companies with the highest revenues according to the Serbian Business Registers Agency (SBRA). The research was conducted through questionnaires. Furthermore, the subject of analysis is determining the extent to which companies in Serbia are exposed to megatrends based on relevant indicators. By weighing the defined indicators, final indicators for key megatrends have been established, through which the strength of megatrend impact in Serbia has been interpreted. If there is a desire for long-term sustainable business operations, there is a need to also be aware of future opportunities and potential threats posed by megatrends. The goal of conducting research in this domain is to raise awareness about the challenges that companies will face in the foreseeable future and thereby gain insights into the areas of business where adaptations are necessary.","PeriodicalId":483971,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomika preduzeća","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135213589","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}
