    • Macedonia's economy was not left behind by the global economic crisis as the country's macroeconomic policymakers had hoped! Certainly, an economy open at all and with a high degree of direct dependence on European and global economies in general should not be saved by the crisis in financial top and then the global economic. Transmission of negative effects but came a little late economic shocks in the periphery are often stronger than the epicenter. In these circumstances macroeconomic policymakers should be more proactive, coherent and dynamic design of the following measures and economic policies increasingly based on relevant research and analysis (decision making based on research and analysis). Therefore, this analysis aims to develop and study in detail the measures in terms of economy, Science and Technology of Macedonia in order to suggest a more effective policy in accordance with business cycles, always comparing the economic measures in other states with which the country has advanced reports on economic but referring to specific local economic conditions. Accordingly the specific activities recommended for further action.

      Anti-crisis measures in the Republic of Macedonia and their effects
    • This study investigates the relationship between public spending on education and economic growth in Macedonia, a low-income state, following decentralization. It does not aim to evaluate the education system's functionality or accessibility but focuses on measuring public education expenditure as a determinant of economic growth, whether positive or negative. The central question posed is whether all forms of public spending on education foster economic growth. Due to limited data in developing countries like Macedonia, establishing empirical models to test the causal effects of education spending on growth remains challenging, leaving the pathways through which education expenditure influences economic growth poorly understood. It is essential to consider the interplay between government spending and education quality when crafting policies aimed at promoting growth. The study employs a Logarithmic Multiple Regression Model to explore the link between public spending on education and economic growth in Macedonia, concluding that the model is significant. The findings indicate a negative effect of public education expenditure on economic growth. Additionally, the results prompt further inquiry into the activities of highly educated workers and their impact on marginal changes. The study concludes with key recommendations for identifying alternative channels to enhance education quality and skilled labor, ultimately boosting p

    • Actually Albania is intensively included in the regional and European integration processes. Through performing the commitments as a member of WTO, through signing the FTA-s, Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA), CEFTA, the free trade is doing quick steps toward liberalization. Nevertheless, the indices of foreign trade are still not very encouraging. The European Unions countries are the main trade partners of Albania and the trade liberalization processes with these countries may be accompanied with high pressure by them. This paper tries to analyze the competitiveness of Albania economy in European markets and how the trade openness does affect the competing capabilities of our country in European markets. The paper tries to analyses the problems of competitiveness in some aspects. Firstly, presenting an empirical analysis of quantitative indicators, that shows the level of Albanian integration in European markets. There are three trade indicators that are analyzed and estimated, for different trade categories, such as: • Openness indicator; • The indicator of revealed comparative advantage (RCA, based on Balassa indices); • The indicator of intra-industry trade (index of Grubell–Lloyd).

      Government and private sector in transition economies
    • In 2009 the European Doctoral Seminar was held for the third time in Budapest, Hungary. The reason was the 20 th anniversary of the beginning of the transition process in Central and Eastern Europe, mainly initiated by the former Hungarian government. In June 1989 the Austrian and the Hungarian Ministers of Foreign Affairs cut through symbolically a part of the Iron Curtain, which was the first step to the re-unification of Europe. EDS as forum for Ph D students from several European nations has to be understood in the same sense. In the preface of the documents of the first meeting in 2001 it was expressed, that the new Europe would be result of intensive work to be done by millions of people. “EDS should be considered as one of these activities, an attempt to encourage students of different countries to come together to start their own scientific cooperation.” After nine years it can be said without any exaggeration that the expectations of 2001 have been fulfilled. More than 40 Ph D students from six countries have presented basic ideas or part of their theses. Some of them are professors, lectures at universities, others have attained high positions in ministries or international organizations.
