The article is concentrated on the Slovak commercial insurance, commercial insurance market, non-life insurance, and international risks on the Slovak Republic. Since 1 May 2004, the Slovak insurance market has been part of the uniform European Union insurance market, which includes over 5,000 insurance companies. After Slovakia’s admission to the European Union, several legislative changes have been adopted in the area of commercial insurance industry, which also influenced non-life insurance and the insurance of international risks as part of non-life risks. The most recent act in the area of commercial insurance mentioned in the paper is the Act of the National Council SR No. 39/2015 Coll. on Insurance, in which there are legislative changes in life and also non-life insurance. Basic terms are defined and commented on in the first two chapters (Lowry, Rawlings, & Merkin, 2015). The nature of international risks as part of non-life risks is described in the second chapter. International risks are classified in the third chapter; international risks are subdivided in the paper into commercial or trade risks, political and economic risks, and special types of risks.

Investors should always argue about management fees because of their impact on net performance that can be substantial. This especially for investments, like real estate, which require intensive management. However, different from traditional mutual funds that are usually related to the gross value of the assets under management, but similar to other financial industry sectors (e.g. hedge funds and private equity funds), REIT managers’ compensation structure typically provides a basically fixed payment based alternatively on gross asset value (GAV) or net asset value (NAV). In addition, managers usually also gain a performance fee. The paper analyses how the two alternative compensation schemes influence REITs’ investment decisions and capital structure and, consequently, REITs’ share value and performance. The final issue addressed is whether—and under which conditions—one compensation scheme is superior to the other. Due to the (usual) market price discount on NAVs, both fee structures incentivise managers to leverage—even in a tax-free environment—in order to maximize the management fees. However, the leverage motivation is stronger for GAV-based than for NAV-based REITs, which are also expected to be more selective in investment decisions. Overall, considering initial fee percentage, GAV-based REITs are expected to execute higher management fees than NAV-based REITs due to the relevant leverage effect. Moreover, debt recourse produces different effects on share value if measured upon market price or net asset value. The empirical analysis focuses on public Italian REITs (2002-2012). The results seem to support the theoretical expectations. GAV-based REITs experience higher debt trends and levels than NAV-based REITs. At the same time, GAV-based REITs register lower real estate asset returns gross and net of management fees for both current and growth yields. Differences in the returns lead to permanent higher performances over total return indexes of NAV-based REITs compared to GAV-based REITs.

Recent years, the Marketing Science Institute considered marketing performance measurement (MPM) a priority in marketing research and managerial practice. Several contributions on the same topic have been proposed in literature. The ability to measure the marketing performance is considered, a cognitive gap that determined a decrease of marketing relevance within firm and organizations. Based on relevant literature on retailing and an explorative case study, it will be proposed a conceptual and pragmatic model to investigate MPM for a consumer goods retailer. The model is aimed to identify antecedents of “share of purchase”, “share of wallet”, and “share of visit”. An early test of the model has been carried out on three Italian leading chains: Superò, a master franchisee of SMA Spa (owned of 27 small supermarkets under control of the French Auchan Group), Decò-Multicedi (the Group is a multi-channel company based on network of five Ad Hoc cash & carry centers, 253 Decò outlets and three Ayoka pet shops) located in Campania Region. “U2” (the outlets label of Unes Spa, Finiper Group, operating mostly in northern Italy, with a chain of more than 190 direct and franchise supermarkets).

This study aims to explore fundamental issues related to IFRS adoption in Indonesia, including how educational accounting anticipates IFRS implementation in 2012, the readiness of Indonesian accountants to face the implementation of IFRS and the liberalization of accounting services and PPA preparedness to make accountants, who are competent and able to compete in the global market. The research method used in this research is descriptive research method by using data from various sources of literature such as books, information from mass media and internet. The results of this study indicate that IFRS implementation will be done taking a lot of changes in mindset, paradigm, and accounting teaching patterns. A curriculum improvement should be made to create accountants ready to compete in the global marketplace.

In the areas of Viminacium and Nais four rare and unusual votive dedications were identified. These are the dedications Deus Aeternus, Dii Angeli, Hero (Viminacium), and Atta (Naissus). The dedications Deus Aeternus and Dii Angeli may perhaps indicate Christianity, while the dedications Hero and Atta may indicate settlers of Greek origin. The dedication to goddess Atta could have been made by a freed man, since her cult was to an extent related to the cult of Heracles who, thanks to his loyal service to Omphale, where he was to repent his sins, was freed from slavery, and thus was also a protector of freed man. Main methodological approach in this paper is the analysis of cults as well as their backgrounds as conditions for their realisation. Until now for the territory of Serbia there was not corpus of analyzing cults. There is only corpus of grave and votive monuments for the territory of Serbia with very rare and sporadic comments of cult. So, the main topic of this article is analyzing of cults. It includes the main meaning of the cult, dateing of monuments and historical and archeological backgrounds of the cults. At the same time it was the main method in the analyzing of the mentioned votive monuments. By this method as the result appeared the dateing of the monuments and improvement of existing Greek settlers. At the same time there were the main research questions which should be ensolved. For ensolved the dateing of the monuments was used the system of analyzing syllabic formulae and for the improvement of existing Greek settlers the method of “healty mind” and connections of analogies. As a result the dateing of monuments of Deus Aeternus, Dii Angeli, and Hero was early 2-nd century, and for Atta from the beginning of 2-nd to the end of 3-rd century.

This paper outlines a two-stage assessment procedure for deriving probabilities of unique events. The calculations are illustrated using possible events pertaining to the Lehman failure in 2008. The procedures utilize pairwise comparisons associated with the Analytic Hierarchy Process. Typical betting odds are used to motivate an ordering of qualitative judgments that are then converted into quantitative assessments and finally a probability distribution.

Today, many developing countries are facing severe shortage of electricity production in their economies which results into a widening gap between electricity production and consumption. This paper employs three-step methodology of Unit Root, Johansen Cointegration, and Vector Error Correction Mechanism to examine whether there exists short-, long-run, uni-, or bi-directional causality among economic growth, electricity production, and inflation for three South Asian economies namely, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh covering the period 1973-2014. This paper finds the neutrality hypothesis in the short run for India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. For the long run, the test result indicates that different hypothesis exists for the three countries under the analysis. This implies that policies and strategies for increasing the installed capacity of electricity generation can lead towards prosperous economic growth in the long run.

The vast majority of tourism forecasting studies have centered on tourist arrivals at an aggregated level. Little research has been done of forecasting tourist expenditure at a national level let alone at a regional level. This study uses expenditure data to assess the relative economic impact of tourism into regional areas. By comparing five time-series models (the Naïve, Holt, ARMA and Basic Structural Model (BSM) with and without intervention), and three econometric models (the Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model and the Time Varying Parameter (TVP) with and without intervention), the study sought to find the most accurate model for forecasting tourism expenditure two years ahead for each of the 31 provinces of mainland China. The results show that TVP models outperform other time series and econometric models. The research also provides practical management outcomes by providing methods for forecasting tourist expenditure as an indicator of economic growth in China’s provinces. The research concludes with the findings on the most appropriate model for regional forecasting and potential new variables suitable at the regional level.

The patriarchal nature of African society generally lays emphasis on the superiority of men over women in every sphere of life. When a woman dies, in most African societies, her legacy is usually inherited by the husband, children, and her family. But if a man dies, the widow, usually experiences false accusations of killing her husband to deny her share of her husband’s properties. This paper examines how the dynamics of cultural practices in Nigeria promotes abuse of inheritance rights of women and discusses the possibilities of using Islamic inheritance rules as a divine solution to the abuse of inheritance rights of women. The research questions as follows: what is the nature of women’s rights to father’s estate? What is the nature of widow’s right to the husband’s estate? What is your perception about the Islamic law of inheritance? The data for this study were collected using questionnaire and simple percentage was used for the analysis. In this respect, a questionnaire was administered to 220 women who were purposely selected from the three major tribes in Lagos state, Nigeria. The result showed that various cultures in Nigeria favour male child, grant male higher rights to land and other properties and promote abuse of inheritance rights against women.
