Cilj rad je promoviranje posrednih izvora podataka kao korisne nadopune „klasičnim“ izvorima podataka u demografskim istraživanjima općenito i u migracijskim istraživanjima specifično, a u svjetlu činjenice da službena hrvatska demografska statistika u mnogobrojnim slučajevima ne omogućava stvarne procjene, što se pogotovo odnosi na recentno iseljavanje. Metoda je od koristi i za ekonomska istraživanja jer su demografski i gospodarski razvoj u kauzalnoj povezanosti i prožetosti. U radu se na primjeru vanjskih migracija hrvatskih građana u Njemačku, Austriju, Švedsku i Irsku prikazuje uporabna vrijednost ovih podataka uz otvaranje rasprave o prednostima i nedostacima istraživačkog pristupa koji se zasniva na ovakvom tipu podataka. Time nastojimo postaviti empirijsku osnovu za razvoj modela digitalnog praćenja migracija hrvatskih građana, koji bi istom osnovom mogao biti upotrijebljen i za šira istraživanja migracija na području Jugoistočne Europe. Rad daje i nove znanstvene spoznaje u području digitalne demografije jer pokazuje novi pristup obrade ovakvog tipa podataka kao i uvide vezane za stavove, namjere i motive migracije hrvatskih građana kao i njihove integracije u pridošlo društvo. Ovo je prva studija ovakvog tipa u Jugoistočnoj Europi, ali i prva koja kombinira izvore dvaju baza podataka Facebooka i Google Trendsa kako bi nadopunila nedostatke koje svaka od ovih baza ima. Unatoč brojnim prednostima ovakvog pristupa razmatramo i specifičnosti i ograničenja sustava ovakvih podataka i upozoravamo u kojim slučajevima može doći do ugroze valjanosti interpretacija i zaključaka. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da postoji pozitivna korelacija između rasta pretraživanja određenih pojmova na hrvatskom jeziku u Njemačkoj („misa na hrvatskom“, „katolička misija“ i „hrvatska nastava“) i rasta registriranih useljenih hrvatskih građana u Njemačku. Studija prikazuje i novi način na koji se podaci dobiveni putem GT-a mogu standardizirati u svrhu komparacije sa službenim bazama podataka. Glavna prednost ovog pristupa je pravovremeno identificiranje vanjskih migracija, čime se uvidi u migracijske trendove dobivaju godinu dana prije službenih podataka te se mogu koristiti za modeliranje projekcija i predviđanje daljnjih trendova.","PeriodicalId":53985,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomski Pregled","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69444213","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}

{"title":"Predicting Future Operating Cash Flows in Jordanian Commercial Banks by Using Fair Value Accounting","authors":"Abdallah Atieh, A. Alshehadeh, Hamza Ayyash, Mohammed L. Ashour","doi":"10.32910/ep.73.2.6","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32910/ep.73.2.6","url":null,"abstract":"The aim of this paper is to examine the ability of fair value accounting data to predict future operating cash flows up to three years ahead in Jordanian commercial banks, as well as to test whether there are significant differences among banks according to their size with regard to the ability of fair value accounting to predict cash flows. Multiple linear regression method is used to analyze the financial data of the study population, which consist of (13) Jordanian commercial Banks for the period (2005-2014). The study sample is the same as the study population. The fair value financial assets and liabilities are used in (3) models. The first model contains net financial assets; the second model includes total financial assets and total financial liabilities; and the third model contains the detailed components of financial assets and liabilities. The study concludes that fair value accounting data (through net financial assets, through total financial assets and total financial liabilities, and through items of financial assets and financial liabilities) have a statistically significant predictive ability in predicting future operating cash flows of Jordanian commercial banks for three subsequent years. The results also show that there are no statistically significant differences among Jordanian commercial banks according to their size with regard to the ability of fair value accounting to predict future operating cash flows up to three years ahead. Nevertheless, the predictive ability is greater for large-sized banks. This study recommends maintaining the continuity of applying fair value accounting by Jordanian commercial banks, and following any updates related to fair value accounting in the IFRS.","PeriodicalId":53985,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomski Pregled","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69444327","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 uses the annual data of 100 non-financial firms listed at PSX for the period 2005-2012. To estimate the impact of family control on the corporate financing decision, we employ the ordinary least square (OLS) method. The findings of the univariate analysis show that a significant difference exists between family and non-family firms based on many characteristics of firms. Multivariate analysis results show that family firms maintain significantly high \"total debt ratio\" and \"short-term debt ratio\" compared to non-family firms. There are two reasons why family firms keep high debt ratios compared to non-family firms. First, family-owned firms do not want to dilute their ownership, and that is why they fulfill their major financing needs through debt instead of issuing new shares in the market. Second, family firms in Pakistan use extra cash flows for their private benefits. These findings reveal useful insights for investors, banks, regulators, and business families of Pakistan.","PeriodicalId":53985,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomski Pregled","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69445529","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}

Polazeći od teorijske i strateške razrade problematike razvoja brdsko-planinskih područja, svrha ovog istraživanja bila je analizirati ukupna demografska, ekonomska i fiskalna kretanja u brdsko-planinskim područjima Republike Hrvatske u usporedbi s prosječnim kretanjima na nacionalnoj razini. S tim u vezi, cilj istraživanja bio je kritički i empirijski ispitati učinkovitost i nedostatke dosadašnjeg sustava potpore razvoju brdsko-planinskih područja u kontekstu ostvarenja zakonski postavljenih ciljeva hrvatske regionalne politike. Rezultati provedenog istraživanja ukazuju na povećanje divergencije u cjelokupnom razvoju Republike Hrvatske i razvoju njezinih brdsko-planinskih područja, ali i na neučinkovitost državnih intervencija u zaustavljanju tog procesa. Ključni razlozi za to su relativno mala izdašnost državnih pomoći, zatim nedostatak kvalitetnih kriterija za njihovo dodjeljivanje te provedba neadekvatnih mjera i instrumenta za poticanje razvoja brdsko-planskih područja.","PeriodicalId":53985,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomski Pregled","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69445554","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 paper elaborates on the novel construct of functional familiarity, consisting of board size, board fluctuation, diversity management, long-term incentive plans (LTIP) and research and development intensity, in relation to company performance. Company reports of MDAX-listed companies were collected and examined for the years 2013 to 2019. Based on the empirical investigation in the form of regression analyses, the statistically significant influence of the executive board size and board fluctuation, as well as of the LTIP, on the development of the share price could be demonstrated.

The economic impact on the global economy could have lasting consequences, with the temporary pandemic regime hitting tourism the hardest. The paper provides an overview of tourism perspectives during and after the COVID-19 crisis, with an emphasis on cultural tourism and related facilities (cultural heritage, cultural attractions). The paper also examines the possibilities of using technology in redefining cultural tourism and creating a new – immersive cultural tourism model. The purpose of this paper is to point out the changes that modern technologies, with an emphasis on some of the immersive technologies, has on the trends in cultural tourism. Methods of analysis and synthesis, survey method and descriptive method were used in the creation of the paper. The research proved a significant trend of increasing interest in the concepts of virtual tourism and immersive cultural tourism, particularly in the context of reduced travel opportunities during the COVID-19 pandemic. The limitations of the research relate to the relatively small survey sample, lack of Generation Z respondents as digital natives, and accelerated technological changes, as well as new trends that are emerging due to technological advances. The scientific contribution is visible in the contribution to the discussion on the use of augmented reality technologies in cultural tourism and the promotion of cultural heritage. Also, the contribution is visible in setting up a conceptual model of immersive cultural tourism.","PeriodicalId":53985,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomski Pregled","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69445879","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}

However, local social benefits are the least researched of such policies. This paper aims to explore the extent to which the most important cash and in-kind local social benefits offered by the Croatian capital Zagreb and by the country’s three largest cities (Split, Rijeka and Osijek) cover the costs of child-rearing and reduce child poverty. Using microsimulation techniques, the support provided to families with children is estimated, and the distributional impact of these policies is assessed. The results reveal that local benefits greatly complement central government policies and substantially increase support for families but with differences among cities; the policies of Zagreb and Rijeka prove to be the most generous and effective, followed by those of Split and Osijek. The main limitations of this study come from the use of microsimulation models: the assumption of full benefit take-up for some policies and the lack of simulation for other policies due to a lack of data. This is the first comprehensive study of family benefits at the central and local government levels in Croatia.","PeriodicalId":53985,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomski Pregled","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69444135","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}
