The crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic affected almost all organizations, regardless of the industry in which they operate. The new working conditions created to protect the health of all employees required a new mindset and a ‘switch’ to more digitalized operations. Many organizations had to adapt or even completely change their business model in order to survive and save jobs. Since digitalized operations were already in place in the IT industry, it seemed that organizations within it had an easier adjustment process to the new pandemic conditions. But have IT companies survived the pandemic as unscathed as it seemed? The purpose of this paper is to examine how Croatian IT companies mitigated the effects of Covid-19 and how they managed their employees during this crisis. This paper examines the impact of the pandemic on employees in the IT sector and analyzes how leaders managed to ensure the psychological safety of their employees under these uncertain conditions. In addition, this paper answers whether and to what extent IT companies had to adapt their business models and what other challenges (cybersecurity, new platforms, etc.) they had to respond to. Using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, managers and employees of ten IT companies operating in Croatia were surveyed. It was found that most IT companies experienced a short-term decline in revenue during the pandemic. The results of the research showed that companies in the IT sector also organized remote work, but unlike other sectors, employees in the IT sector were more likely to permanently switch to remote work, as they were more satisfied, motivated and productive when working remotely. Moreover, adapting to the new working conditions led IT companies to accelerate digitalization and reduce operating costs without reducing the quality of services. This research can serve as an example of good practice for all organizations looking to digitalize their business and respond to potential new, unexpected crises.
Covid-19大流行造成的危机几乎影响了所有组织,无论其经营的行业如何。为保护所有员工的健康而创造的新工作条件需要一种新的思维方式,并“转向”更加数字化的运营。为了生存和保住工作,许多组织不得不适应甚至完全改变他们的商业模式。由于it行业已经实现了数字化运营,因此it行业内的组织似乎更容易适应新的疫情情况。但IT公司是否像看起来那样毫发无损地挺过了这场大流行?本文的目的是研究克罗地亚公司如何减轻Covid-19的影响,以及他们如何在这场危机中管理员工。本文考察了疫情对IT部门员工的影响,并分析了领导者如何在这些不确定的条件下确保员工的心理安全。此外,本文还回答了IT公司是否以及在多大程度上必须调整其商业模式,以及他们必须应对哪些其他挑战(网络安全,新平台等)。通过问卷调查和半结构化访谈,对在克罗地亚运营的10家IT公司的经理和员工进行了调查。调查发现,在疫情期间,大多数It公司的收入都出现了短期下降。研究结果显示,IT行业的公司也组织了远程工作,但与其他行业不同的是,IT行业的员工更有可能永久地转向远程工作,因为他们在远程工作时更满意、更有动力、更有效率。此外,适应新的工作条件导致IT公司加速数字化,在不降低服务质量的情况下降低运营成本。这项研究可以作为一个良好实践的例子,为所有组织寻求数字化他们的业务和应对潜在的新的,意想不到的危机。

This paper analyzed the impact of federal government agricultural financing on economic growth in Nigeria. The study utilized the time series data which was extracted from the Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin. The properties of the variables were tested using the Augmented Dickey- Fuller unit root test. A Single equation cointegration test confirmed no cointegration and a short-run vector autoregressive model was used to analyze the data, after which the diagnostic test was carried out to confirm the normality of the series. The study revealed that federal government agricultural financing has a negative contribution to economic growth in Nigeria and was statistically insignificant. Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme Funds had a positive but not statistically significant contribution to economic growth and there was no causal relationship among the variables. The study concluded that federal government agricultural financing has no significant impact on economic growth in Nigeria. Therefore, the study recommended that federal government should increase funding to the agricultural sector to be able to impact positively on the economic growth of Nigeria.
本文分析了尼日利亚联邦政府农业融资对经济增长的影响。该研究利用了从尼日利亚中央银行统计公报中提取的时间序列数据。使用增广Dickey-Fuller单位根检验对变量的性质进行了检验。单方程协整检验证实无协整,并使用短程向量自回归模型分析数据,之后进行诊断检验以确认序列的正态性。该研究显示,联邦政府农业融资对尼日利亚经济增长的贡献为负,且在统计上不显著。农业信贷担保计划基金对经济增长的贡献为正但统计上不显著,变量之间不存在因果关系。该研究得出结论,联邦政府的农业融资对尼日利亚的经济增长没有显著影响。因此,该研究建议联邦政府应该增加对农业部门的资助,以便能够对尼日利亚的经济增长产生积极影响。

The popularity of social media for business and marketing is on a definite rise. Although researchers are increasingly studying various aspects of SNS (social networking sites) marketing and e-commerce, there are still few studies into the impact of Instagram due to the relatively new nature of the application. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to provide an analysis of the statistical significance of Instagram likes on consumer attitude and purchase intention on a linked e-commerce site. The secondary objective is to compare demographic data based on age, gender, and educational categories of the respondents. The final aim is to bridge the gap in literature and provide practical implications which would be useful to professionals in brand and marketing management. Based on a systematic literature review, first order structural equation model was proposed and tested. The empirical data was derived from a survey of 166 subjects in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Upon the collection of data, factor analysis was conducted in SPSS to ensure the validity and reliability through items’ loadings and Cronbach’s Alpha values. Furthermore, the empirical hypothesis testing was conducted in SmartPLS 3 in order to investigate direct effects of variables in the model. The results indicated that there is a significant statistical impact of Instagram likes on consumer attitude and purchase intention. Currently, due to the relatively recent use of the app for business and marketing purposes, there is a very limited amount of research on consumers’ involvement and attitude on Instagram and its impact on the likelihood of purchase. Therefore, one can consider the theoretical and practical implications of this study to be evident.
社交媒体在商业和营销方面的受欢迎程度正在明显上升。尽管研究人员越来越多地研究SNS(社交网站)营销和电子商务的各个方面,但由于Instagram的应用程序相对较新,因此对其影响的研究仍然很少。因此,本研究的主要目的是分析Instagram点赞对链接电商网站消费者态度和购买意愿的统计意义。第二个目标是比较基于年龄、性别和受教育程度的受访者的人口统计数据。最终目的是弥合文献上的差距,并提供对品牌和营销管理专业人士有用的实际意义。在系统回顾文献的基础上,提出并验证了一阶结构方程模型。实证数据来自对波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那境内166名受试者的调查。收集数据后,在SPSS中进行因子分析,通过项目的加载和Cronbach’s Alpha值来保证效度和信度。此外,在SmartPLS 3中进行了实证假设检验,以调查模型中变量的直接影响。结果表明,Instagram对消费者态度和购买意愿有显著的统计影响。目前,由于该应用程序用于商业和营销目的的时间相对较短,因此关于消费者对instagram的参与和态度及其对购买可能性的影响的研究非常有限。因此,我们可以认为这项研究的理论和实践意义是显而易见的。

CHANGES IN HOUSEHOLD AND GENERAL GOVERNMENT CONSUMPTION AND SAVINGS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN THE EUROPEAN UNION 2019冠状病毒病大流行期间欧盟家庭和一般政府消费和储蓄的变化

In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant economic shock in countries worldwide, negatively affecting every aspect of the world economy. Due to the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic, governments imposed a lockdown on households to slow the spread of the pandemic. It was unknown how long the lockdown could last and how much impact it would have on households and the general government. Household consumption is a specific component of final GDP consumption and generally represents about 60% of GDP. Crises most often affect the individual and manifest in unplanned and unnecessary costs that affect household consumption and savings, and consequently growth and development. Eurostat states that the household savings rate of the European Union (EU) decreased in the third quarter of 2020 but was 4.5% higher than in 2019. This paper aims to analyze the differences in household consumption expenditure and net savings across the EU from 2018 until 2021 and general government consumption expenditure and net savings. In addition, it will compare the differences in household and general government consumption and savings in 2019 and 2020. This paper uses univariate statistical methods to define the differences between the EU member states and their private and public consumption expenditure and net savings. The authors will suggest further research on the topic mentioned above and provide evidence on how households should react to future pandemic situations.
2020年3月,新冠肺炎疫情对世界各国经济造成重大冲击,对世界经济的各个方面都产生了负面影响。由于covid -19大流行的情况,各国政府对家庭实施了封锁,以减缓疫情的传播。目前尚不清楚封锁会持续多久,以及它对家庭和政府的影响有多大。家庭消费是最终国内生产总值消费的特定组成部分,通常占国内生产总值的60%左右。危机最常影响个人,表现为计划外和不必要的成本,影响家庭消费和储蓄,从而影响增长和发展。欧盟统计局表示,欧盟(EU)的家庭储蓄率在2020年第三季度有所下降,但比2019年高出4.5%。本文旨在分析2018年至2021年欧盟家庭消费支出和净储蓄以及一般政府消费支出和净储蓄的差异。此外,还将比较2019年和2020年家庭和一般政府消费和储蓄的差异。本文采用单变量统计方法来定义欧盟成员国及其私人和公共消费支出和净储蓄之间的差异。作者将建议对上述主题进行进一步研究,并就家庭应如何应对未来的大流行情况提供证据。

We quantify the importance of imperfect competition in the US labor market by estimating the size of labor market rents earned by American firms and workers. We construct a matched employer-employee panel dataset by combining the universe of US business and worker tax records for the period 2001–2015. Using this panel data, we identify and estimate an equilibrium model of the labor market with two-sided heterogeneity where workers view firms as imperfect substitutes because of heterogeneous preferences over nonwage job characteristics. The model allows us to draw inference about imperfect competition, worker sorting, compensating differentials, and rent sharing. (JEL D24, H24, H25, J22, J24, J31, J42)
我们通过估算美国公司和工人赚取的劳动力市场租金的规模,量化了美国劳动力市场中不完全竞争的重要性。我们通过结合2001年至2015年期间美国企业和工人的税收记录,构建了一个匹配的雇主-雇员面板数据集。利用这一面板数据,我们确定并估计了一个劳动力市场的均衡模型,该模型具有双边异质性,其中工人将公司视为不完全替代品,因为他们对非工资工作特征有异质偏好。该模型允许我们得出关于不完全竞争、工人分类、补偿差异和租金共享的推论。(jl d24, h24, h25, j22, j24, j31, j42)

This paper builds a new microdatabase that covers 100 countries at all income levels and long-run time series in the United States (1870–2010) and Mexico ( 1960–2010) to document how the modern tax system arises over development. I establish a new set of stylized facts, which show that the income tax exemption threshold decreases in the income distribution as a country develops, tracking growth in the employee share of employment that occurs gradually further down the income distribution. Additional evidence supports the interpretation that the rise in third-party covered income through increases in employee share drives expansions of the income tax base over development.

In a field experiment that constructs a randomized credit limit shock, participants borrow to spend 11 cents on the dollar in the first quarter and 28 cents by the third year. Effects extend to those far from the limit, those who had the new limits as available credit, and those with a liquid asset buffer. In the short-run, flexible and installment contracts are used in tandem, with unconstrained using installments more. Long-run borrowing is predominantly using installments. Near limits, participants borrow when credit expands but save out of constraints when limits are tight. Findings support a buffer-stock interpretation emphasizing precautionary saving. (JEL C93, E21, G21, G51, O12, O16)
在一项构建随机信贷额度冲击的实地实验中,参与者在第一季度借钱花11美分买1美元,到第三年要花28美分。影响还延伸到那些远离限额的人,那些将新限额作为可用信贷的人,以及那些拥有流动资产缓冲的人。在短期内,灵活合同和分期付款合同同时使用,无约束合同更多地使用分期付款合同。长期借款主要是分期付款。在接近极限的情况下,参与者在信贷扩张时借贷,但在限制收紧时出于约束而储蓄。研究结果支持强调预防性储蓄的缓冲储备解释。(jel c93, e21, g21, g51, o12, o16)

College Tuition and Income Inequality 大学学费与收入不平等

This paper evaluates the role of rising income inequality in explaining observed growth in college tuition. We develop a competitive model of the college market, in which college quality depends on instructional expenditure and the average ability of admitted students. An innovative feature of our model is that it allows for a continuous distribution of college quality. We find that observed increases in US income inequality can explain more than half of the observed rise in average net tuition since 1990 and that rising income inequality has also depressed college attendance.

本文评估了收入不平等加剧在解释观察到的大学学费增长中的作用。我们建立了一个大学市场的竞争模型,在这个模型中,大学质量取决于教学支出和录取学生的平均能力。我们模式的一个创新之处在于,它允许大学质量的持续分布。我们发现,观察到的美国收入不平等加剧可以解释1990年以来观察到的平均净学费上涨的一半以上,而且收入不平等加剧也抑制了大学入学率。(jel 31, i22, i23, i24)

We develop a competitive model of the college market, in which college quality depends on instructional expenditure and the average ability of admitted students. An innovative feature of our model is that it allows for a continuous distribution of college quality. We find that observed increases in US income inequality can explain more than half of the observed rise in average net tuition since 1990 and that rising income inequality has also depressed college attendance.

Public recognition is frequently used to motivate desirable behavior, yet its welfare effects—such as costs of shame or gains from pride— are rarely measured. We develop a portable empirical methodology for measuring and monetizing social image utility, and we deploy it in experiments on exercise and charitable behavior. In all experiments, public recognition motivates desirable behavior but creates highly unequal image payoffs. High-performing individuals enjoy significant utility gains, while low-performing individuals incur significant utility losses. We estimate structural models of social signaling, and we use the models to explore the social efficiency of public recognition policies. (JEL C93, D64, D82, D91)
公众的认可经常被用来激励理想的行为,然而它的福利效应——比如羞耻的成本或骄傲的收益——却很少被衡量。我们开发了一种便携式的实证方法来测量和货币化社会形象效用,并将其应用于锻炼和慈善行为的实验中。在所有的实验中,公众的认可激发了理想的行为,但却产生了高度不平等的形象回报。高绩效个体享有显著的效用增益,而低绩效个体遭受显著的效用损失。我们估计了社会信号的结构模型,并利用这些模型来探讨公共认可政策的社会效率。(jel c93, d64, d82, d91)

Counterfactuals with Latent Information 具有潜在信息的反事实

We describe a methodology for making counterfactual predictions in settings where the information held by strategic agents and the distribution of payoff-relevant states of the world are unknown. The analyst observes behavior assumed to be rationalized by a Bayesian model, in which agents maximize expected utility, given partial and differential information about the state. A counterfactual prediction is desired about behavior in another strategic setting, under the hypothesis that the distribution of the state and agents’ information about the state are held fixed. When the data and the desired counterfactual prediction pertain to environments with finitely many states, players, and actions, the counterfactual prediction is described by finitely many linear inequalities, even though the latent parameter, the information structure, is infinite dimensional. (JEL D44, D82, D83)
我们描述了一种在战略代理人持有的信息和世界上与支付相关的状态的分布未知的情况下进行反事实预测的方法。分析师观察贝叶斯模型假设合理化的行为,在该模型中,给定关于状态的部分和差异信息,代理最大化预期效用。在状态分布和代理人关于状态的信息保持固定的假设下,期望对另一种策略设置中的行为进行反事实预测。当数据和期望的反事实预测属于具有有限多个状态、参与者和行动的环境时,反事实预测由有限多个线性不等式描述,即使潜在参数(信息结构)是无限维的。(凝胶d44, d82, d83)
