ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of two government measures in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic: the number of passengers transported by rail and the kilometers traveled. Eurostat data were used to develop an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) statistical model for capturing the time-series trend. The results confirm statistically significant differences in the Slovak Republic after introducing fare-free public transport (FFPT). Passenger-transport volumes increased by 449,000 quarterly; passenger-kilometer volumes increased by 23.2 million. A similar government intervention – in the Czech Republic – was statistically insignificant. Passenger-transport volumes increased by 1.17 million and passenger-kilometers increased by 42.9 million quarterly; but compensation to railway operators increased by 763%.

ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to explore the nexus between innovation and internationalization (the “self-selection hypothesis”) in the behavior of business organizations operating in the ICT sector. The data was gathered from a survey of national and multinational companies in the Romanian ICT sector. The results show a significant positive influence between innovation and internationalization, although this relationship is more robust for multinational companies, due to the history and strategies of parent companies. The findings have major implications for literature, macroeconomic management, and business practice.

ABSTRACT This paper explores the characteristics of people aged 50 or older from eight CEE countries who reported forgoing healthcare due to fear of COVID-19. The sample of 13,033 individuals was based on data from the SHARE Corona Survey combined with data from previous waves. We performed a multivariate logistic regression model for healthcare avoidance. The results suggested that women, younger older adults, better educated individuals, those in poorer health, and those with more chronic health conditions were more likely to avoid healthcare after the outbreak. Our findings may help policymakers better understand populations with unmet healthcare needs.

ABSTRACT This study examines whether Russian farmers who enter regional politics can skew local policies in their favor. We hypothesize that Russian regions with more local members of parliament (MPs) owning agricultural businesses and farmer-ministers are more likely to allocate higher agricultural subsidies. To test these hypotheses, we use a unique 2008–2015 panel dataset on agricultural subsidies in combination with qualitative data. We find that the pervasiveness of agricultural interest in local parliaments affects the size of agricultural subsidies. Regional agriculture ministers who own farms may play the role of “gatekeepers” to the subsidies.

ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to research the impact of the tax system on SMEs inSerbia. A quantitative survey research was conducted, containing research questions referring to tax environment impact, its factors and incentives on growth. The sampling was purposive, and it consisted of responsible people in SMEs ( ). The main attitude of our respondents and the conclusion of the research is that the level of tax bureaucracy, as well as unprofessional tax administration created an unstimulating tax environment for SMEs. Not only did this environment make no impact on gray economy and corruption reduction but also supported them.

ABSTRACT This paper presents the outcomes of an online coin-tossing experiment evaluating cheating behavior among Ukrainian students. Over 1,500 participants were asked to make ten coin tosses and were randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups tossing coins (1) online, (2) manually, or (3) having the choice between tossing manually or online. The study outcomes suggest that students are more inclined to cheat when they perceive the coin toss to be more “private.” Moreover, the students’ attitudes toward corruption appear to matter for the extent of their cheating, while socio-demographic characteristics were less important.

ABSTRACT This paper empirically tests the effects of FDI and exports on the sustainable economic growth of Russia in general, and that of its Far Eastern District in particular, using a state-level dataset. The results show that FDI inflows positively facilitate the income growth of Russia in general. However, it is export rather than the FDI that plays a key role in inducing economic growth for the Far Eastern district. Based on our empirical analyses, we suggest the Far Eastern states pursue export-led growth strategy and improve the current FDI structure that is distorted toward the energy sector.

ABSTRACT In the economies of Eastern and Central Europe, startups are expected to become the engine of economic development. Based on interviews with the founders, we examine the extent to which startup life cycle theories (SLCT) can be synthesized and what different or identical narrative conceptual spaces can be drawn. Based on our natural language processing results, it can be concluded that SLCTs cannot be clearly synthesized in the case of semi-peripheral countries, as they draw different narrative spaces. SLCTs can adequately capture enterprises in the initial stages, but in the later stages, the practical applicability of the theories is reduced.

ABSTRACT By using wavelet analysis, we find that domestic Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) has short and long-term adverse effects on domestic tourism in Croatia. Domestic and global EPU (GEPU) have a negative relationship with foreign arrivals; however, the impact of domestic EPU on foreign arrivals is significantly bigger. The co-movements between nights of stay per domestic tourists and domestic EPU are positive in the short and the long run, while the relationship with GEPU is negative. Our findings for the foreign arrivals per tourist is the opposite of those for the domestic. There is a positive relationship between foreign arrivals per tourist and GEPU.
