USING SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS MODELS TO ANALYZE THE CAUSES OF CORRUPTION AND ITS IMPLICATIONS

For a country that is in the process of integration into EU structures, reducing the corruption is a good sign for attracting foreign investment and developing the economic environment. The paper estimates the parameters of a simultaneous equation model based on data sets obtained at a sample of employees in public administration. Statistical sample consist in 407 people and the maximum allowable error was estimated at ± 2.5%. For the effective development of the statistical questionnaire we identified major themes of public administration that are directly related to the problem of corruption: managing the institution, the civil service, transparency in the system, the decentralization process, causes and effects of corruption and the quality of the reform in the public administration. Based on the questionnaire we defined primary and secondary variables that have been used to define the model with simultaneous equations. For the variables in the model they have been divided into endogenous and exogenous

The analysis of health education of the population as an important factor in optimizing medical expenses

AbstractPopulation health education consists in developing the level of the health culture of different population groups and the health educational facilities and processes necessary to create a sanogenic behavior. Also there is a conditioning between education and health that is substantiated by the major functions of the education for health: sanogenic function and prevention function. Therefore, from this conception, this study aims on the one hand, to highlight how to optimize individual and community health and, on the other hand, how to achieve the objectives of the primary, secondary and tertiary prevention. In this context, using a sample set from the medical staff with higher education in Bucharest we collected some information related to health education of the population in terms of the following issues: education among the population for prevention or worsening of a disease, the habit of the people hospitalized in the past for carrying out regular medical checks later, the contribution of some factors (Ministry of Health, Education, medical units and the media) in health education and disease prevention among the population

A Comparative Study of Some Features of Higher Education in Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary

The transition from the centralized economy to the market economy has determined important changes in higher education in the countries of the former socialist bloc. In a relatively short period an impressive growth in the number of students has been recorded without taking into account the evolution of the number of pupils in high school and demographic phenomena, such as increased migration, reduced birth rate, and so on. In a medium and long time horizon the current increases in the number of students cannot be sustained. For the analysis of the data series we used a number of econometric techniques.regression models, cointegration, higher education statistics, education expenditures, ADF, unit roots

Econometric Models used for the Corruption Analysis

The article conveys a series of features of the public administration by using some econometric models. In order to estimate the parameters, we used a series of data registered from a illustrative sample of civil servants. With the aim of analysing the corruption, there are used various regression and simultaneous equation models. The corruption level is analysed depending on a series of factors such as the political system pressure, the administration transparency, the quality of the civil servants’ job-related relationshipscorruption, public administration, regression models
