The aging of society is one of the most important trends shaping the social, economic and political life of the 21st century. However, with the increasing number of people of retirement age, the problem of ensuring adequate conditions for a longer life arises. The state influences these conditions through the pension security system, including taxation of pensions. The paper attempts to answer the question whether taxation of remunerations and public pension benefits may have a significant impact on making decisions about choosing a country of work in the common market. For this purpose, Member States have been ranked in terms of two dimensions—the conditions of taxation of wages and the conditions of taxation of retirement benefits. 
社会老龄化是影响 21 世纪社会、经济和政治生活的最重要趋势之一。然而,随着退休年龄人口的不断增加,出现了如何确保为延长寿命提供适当条件的问题。国家通过养老金保障制度,包括养老金税收来影响这些条件。本文试图回答这样一个问题:对薪酬和公共养老金福利征税是否会对在共同市场中选择工作国家的决策产生重大影响。为此,从工资税收条件和退休福利税收条件两个方面对会员国进行了排序。

Tax avoidance and tax evasion remain critical challenges for central or local governments and municipalities. This non-compliance also represents an ethical issue since individuals who benefit from publicly provided services do not contribute to their financing as they are legally required. The study aimed to test whether the use of behavioural interventions would reduce the number of non-payers of the garbage collection fee in the city of Hlohovec, Slovakia. The experiment was carried out by distributing leaflets to households with permanent residence in Hlohovec. The subjects of the experiment were randomly divided into three groups. Households in the control group (number of households is 1,718) did not receive any leaflets, households in the first intervention group (number of households is 1,721) received a leaflet containing a social norm, and households in the second intervention group (number of households is 1,625) received a leaflet containing a deterrent message. 
避税和逃税仍然是中央或地方政府和市政当局面临的严峻挑战。由于从公共服务中获益的个人没有按照法律规定为公共服务提供资金,因此这种不合规行为也是一个道德问题。本研究旨在测试使用行为干预措施是否会减少斯洛伐克 Hlohovec 市不缴纳垃圾收集费的人数。实验通过向霍洛韦茨市常住居民家庭发放传单的方式进行。实验对象被随机分为三组。对照组家庭(户数为 1,718 户)没有收到任何传单,第一干预组家庭(户数为 1,721 户)收到了包含社会规范的传单,第二干预组家庭(户数为 1,625 户)收到了包含威慑信息的传单。

The aim of the paper is to propose a new comprehensive retirement insurance solution (CRIS) that, by offering appropriate modules, can be flexibly adapted to customers’ needs during the accumulation of funds and entitlements and during retirement. Technically, the product is life-insurance-based and includes insurance for sickness and incapacity, long-term care (LTC), work activation expenses, hospital stays, and tontine and Luxembourg policies. Due to consumers’ changing expectations and needs, the technical dimension of this solution is based on a three-layer insurance product in which individual parts of the protection are supplemented by several additional benefits (types of assistance) that improve the quality of life of insurance participants and allow the ongoing use of the product. 
本文旨在提出一种新的综合退休保险解决方案(CRIS),通过提供适当的模块,可以灵活地满足客户在积累资金和权利以及退休期间的需求。从技术上讲,该产品以人寿保险为基础,包括疾病和丧失工作能力保险、长期护理保险(LTC)、工作启动费用保险、住院保险、通廷保险和卢森堡保险。由于消费者的期望和需求不断变化,该解决方案的技术层面以三层保险产品为基础,其中个别保护部分由若干额外福利(援助类型)进行补充,以提高保险参与者的生活质量,并允许持续使用该产品。

Personal bankruptcy prediction using machine learning techniques 利用机器学习技术预测个人破产
IF 0.7 Pub Date : 2024-06-12 DOI: 10.18559/ebr.2024.2.1149
Magdalena Brygała, Tomasz Korol
It has become crucial to have an early prediction model that provides accurate assurance for users about the financial situation of consumers. Recent studies focused on predicting corporate bankruptcies and credit defaults, not personal bankruptcies. Due to that, this study fills the literature gap by comparing different machine learning algorithms to predict personal bankruptcy. The main objective of the study is to examine the usefulness of machine learning models such as random forest, XGBoost, LightGBM, AdaBoost, CatBoost, and support vector machines in forecasting personal bankruptcy. The research relies on two samples of households (learning and testing) from the Survey of Consumer Finances, which was conducted in the United States. Among the estimated models, CatBoost and XGBoost showed the highest effectiveness. Among the most important variables used in the models are income, refusal to grant credit, delays in the repayment of liabilities, the revolving debt ratio, and the housing debt ratio.
建立一个能为用户提供有关消费者财务状况准确保证的早期预测模型已变得至关重要。最近的研究主要集中在预测企业破产和信贷违约,而不是个人破产。因此,本研究通过比较不同的机器学习算法来预测个人破产,填补了文献空白。研究的主要目的是检验随机森林、XGBoost、LightGBM、AdaBoost、CatBoost 和支持向量机等机器学习模型在预测个人破产方面的实用性。研究依赖于美国消费者财务调查中的两个家庭样本(学习样本和测试样本)。在估计模型中,CatBoost 和 XGBoost 显示出最高的有效性。模型中使用的最重要变量包括收入、拒绝授信、延迟偿还债务、循环债务比率和住房债务比率。

This study aims to conduct an empirical comparative analysis of the performance of Shari’ah and conventional stock indexes during the period 2017–2023, which includes the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, it aims to investigate investors’ preferences and analyse the long-term relationship of these indexes, as well as exploring the potential diversification benefits. The research methodology incorporates stochastic dominance analysis, the VARMAX procedure, and Johansen’s co-integration approach. The data utilized consists of 31 conventional and 31 Islamic stock indexes, specifically from the FTSE, DJ, MSCI, and S&P series.The results show that there are no long-term co-integration links between 30 out of 31 pairs of Islamic and conventional indexes. While conventional indexes tend to outperform Islamic indexes, they also come with a higher risk. On the other hand, Islamic indexes are considered to be less risky, offering potential diversification opportunities that may be attractive for global portfolios, particularly during periods of financial distress.
本研究旨在对包括 COVID-19 大流行在内的 2017-2023 年期间伊斯兰教法和传统股票指数的表现进行实证比较分析。此外,本研究还旨在调查投资者的偏好,分析这些指数的长期关系,以及探索潜在的多样化收益。研究方法包括随机优势分析、VARMAX 程序和 Johansen 协整方法。所使用的数据包括 31 个传统股指和 31 个伊斯兰股指,具体来自富时、道琼斯、摩根士丹利资本国际和标准普尔系列。结果显示,在 31 对伊斯兰股指和传统股指中,有 30 对之间不存在长期协整联系。虽然传统指数的表现往往优于伊斯兰指数,但它们的风险也更高。另一方面,伊斯兰指数被认为风险较低,提供了潜在的多样化机会,可能对全球投资组合具有吸引力,尤其是在金融困难时期。

The aim of this study is to characterise the determinants of the development of the silver economy in the field of care services provided in a residential form for dependent elderly persons in Poland. The analysis was carried out on the basis of statistical and financial background data, including those from the Ministry of Family and Social Affairs, the Ministry of Health, OECD, etc. Although the demand for care services will continue to grow in the coming years, the following barriers to the development of this segment of the silver economy can be identified: lack of employees, unattractiveness of monetary gratification, inefficient financing mechanisms, lack of public investment in the development of care facilities, and increasing costs of providing services in all forms.
本研究的目的是描述波兰以寄宿形式为受抚养老人提供护理服务的银发经济发展的决定因素。分析是在统计和金融背景数据的基础上进行的,包括来自家庭和社会事务部、卫生部、经合组织等的数据。尽管未来几年对护理服务的需求将继续增长,但银发经济中这一领域的发展仍面临以下障碍:缺乏雇员、金钱报酬缺乏吸引力、融资机制效率低下、缺乏对护理设施发展的公共投资以及提供各种形式服务的成本不断增加。

The aim of the paper is to assess the causes of spatial variations in labour productivity of Italian regions using the gravity model of economic growth. The model is an extension of Robert Solow’s economic growth model. The authors calibrate the model parameters using historical data and carry out numerical simulations of the long-run equilibrium states of the model. The scenarios considered in the paper vary in forecast investment rates, employment growth rates and urbanization rates. To achieve the full convergence in labour productivity, it is necessary to maintain higher investment rates in the south of the country than in Lombardy (by about 4-11%), and to keep investment rates in central and northern Italy at a similar level as in Lombardy. The fall in investment has affected the poorest regions, southern Italy, the most, followed by central Italy and the richest regions of the north of the country the least
本文旨在利用经济增长引力模型评估意大利各地区劳动生产率空间差异的原因。该模型是罗伯特-索洛经济增长模型的延伸。作者利用历史数据对模型参数进行了校准,并对模型的长期均衡状态进行了数值模拟。文中考虑的情景在预测投资率、就业增长率和城市化率方面各不相同。要实现劳动生产率的完全趋同,意大利南部的投资率必须高于伦巴第大区(约 4-11%),意大利中部和北部的投资率必须与伦巴第大区保持在类似水平。投资下降对意大利南部最贫困地区的影响最大,其次是意大利中部,而对北部最富裕地区的影响最小。

This article aims to analyse the asset-backing risk of stablecoins, focusing on international accounting standards, classification criteria, and auditing standards and using Tether as a case study. It examines Tether’s issuance, backing, controls, ratios, and regulations to assess risk transmission and mitigation. The results suggest a need for unified and strengthened accounting and auditing standards to enhance user confidence. Liquidity, solvency, and debt ratios were applied to Tether's balance sheets; while Tether has made efforts to increase its transparency, and although it possesses highly liquid assets, challenges remain regarding its liquidity, solvency, and debt. An independent auditors' valuation is crucial for investor confidence, demonstrating that more specific regulations are required for stablecoins. Future research should explore other stablecoins to comprehensively understand the accounting and auditing challenges in the field.
本文旨在分析稳定币的资产支持风险,重点关注国际会计准则、分类标准和审计标准,并以 Tether 为案例进行研究。文章研究了 Tether 的发行、支持、控制、比率和法规,以评估风险的传递和缓解。研究结果表明,有必要统一并加强会计和审计标准,以增强用户信心。流动性、偿付能力和债务比率适用于 Tether 的资产负债表;虽然 Tether 已努力提高其透明度,虽然它拥有高流动性资产,但其流动性、偿付能力和债务方面的挑战依然存在。独立审计师的估值对投资者的信心至关重要,这表明稳定币需要更具体的监管。未来的研究应探索其他稳定币,以全面了解该领域的会计和审计挑战。

Central bank communication in unconventional times: Some evidence from a textual analysis of the National Bank of Poland communication during the COVID-crisis 非常规时期的中央银行沟通:从 COVID 危机期间波兰国家银行通信文本分析中获得的一些证据
IF 0.7 Pub Date : 2024-03-29 DOI: 10.18559/ebr.2024.1.1039
Lada Voloshchenko-Holda, Paweł Niedziółka
The article analyses the communication of the National Bank of Poland (NBP) one year after the announcement of the crisis response package adopted after the outbreak of the COVID pandemic. It presents the perspective of a central bank that first entered unconventional monetary ground during the COVID-crisis. The analysis aims to answer the question of what message about monetary policy objectives may have been conveyed in communication with regard to possible interpretations of the response actions by economic agents. Misinterpretations of policy actions at the time, fuelled by the increased attention to inflation, could later contribute to higher inflation persistence. The article presents findings based on the innovative use of MAXQDA Pro 2022 solutions for textual analysis of central bank’s communication. It points to three inconsistencies in the NBP’s communication that could potentially lead to misinterpretation of the NBP’s policy actions in response to the crisis and thus affect the formation of expectations.
文章分析了波兰国家银行(NBP)在 COVID 疫情爆发后宣布危机应对方案一年后的沟通情况。文章从一个在 COVID 危机期间首次进入非常规货币领域的中央银行的角度进行了分析。分析旨在回答这样一个问题:在经济行为主体对应对行动的可能解读方面,沟通中可能传达了哪些有关货币政策目标的信息。由于对通胀的关注度增加,当时对政策行动的误读后来可能会导致更高的通胀持续性。文章介绍了基于创新使用 MAXQDA Pro 2022 解决方案对中央银行通信进行文本分析的结果。文章指出了国家银行沟通中的三个不一致之处,这些不一致之处有可能导致对国家银行应对危机的政策行动产生误解,从而影响预期的形成。

This study aims to identify what determines the use of biometric technologies in the financial applications of banks and FinTechs. The analysis uses data from a survey of 1,000 adult Polish residents. The estimated logit model indicates that the probability of using biometric solutions decreases with age and increases with the level of education and technological sophistication relating to personal innovativeness, experience with biometric technology, and the use of digital technology in both financial and non-financial areas. The work identifies the COVID-19 pandemic as a factor accelerating the adoption of biometric solutions and fostering awareness of the threat of digital technologies invading respondents’ privacy. The study demonstrates the positive impact of trust that phone manufacturers ensure the security of stored funds and data processing on the acceptance of biometric solutions in financial services. This relationship underpins the recommendation to financial institutions in the field of promoting biometric technologies.
本研究旨在确定银行和金融科技公司在金融应用中使用生物识别技术的决定因素。分析使用了对 1000 名波兰成年居民的调查数据。估计的对数模型表明,使用生物识别解决方案的概率随着年龄的增长而降低,随着教育水平和与个人创新能力、生物识别技术经验以及在金融和非金融领域使用数字技术有关的技术复杂程度的增长而增加。研究发现,COVID-19 大流行是加速采用生物识别解决方案的一个因素,同时也提高了受访者对数字技术侵犯隐私的威胁的认识。研究表明,信任手机制造商能够确保存储资金和数据处理的安全,对金融服务领域接受生物识别解决方案具有积极影响。这种关系支持了在推广生物识别技术领域向金融机构提出的建议。
