COMPUTERIZATION OF THE DOCUMENTS FLOWS IN THE LOCAL ADMINISTRATION – BETWEEN DECENTRALIZATION AND INTEGRATION

This article aims to do a scientifically funded analysis about the integration of international flows, to establish the constructive and functional parameters actuating the digitization process and to find the correlations between them, in order to improve the operability between local institutions. The purpose of the study is represented by the manners of integration and rendering the data structures compatibles between different composing structures of the local public administration and their aggregation at regional levelLocal Administration, Informational flows, informational society, digitization process, automation, efficiency, work procedures, organizational efficiency.

The Impact of Foreign Direct Investments and Remittances on Economic Growth: A Case Study in Central and Eastern Europe

This paper investigates the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and remittances on Economic Growth (EG), using panel data of seven countries from Central and Eastern Europe with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita under 25,000 $. The empirical literature stressed the relationships between FDI and remittances and economic growth, and our purpose is to identify if there are significant relationships between FDI, remittances and economic growth in the seven analyzed countries. We find a positive impact of both FDI and remittances on GDP, but the influence of FDI is higher in all analyzed states, with accepting the assumption of ceteris paribus principles in limiting research caused by other possible determinants

Macroeconomic determinants of remittances: evidence from Romania

The empirical study is based on panel data, in order to demonstrate the determinants of the remittance inflows, from the states where Romanian migrant workers sent more than 1% of Romania's total remittances during the period 2010-2017. Though these states comprise USA and Canada, we decided to perform the econometric research only for European states, due to the significant comparative difference between the mobility conditions: the migration policy of the US and Canada is selective, with a visa regime, while there are no barriers to free movement and selectivity at the level of the European states and Israel

FDI and remittances: a Dumitrescu-Hurlin Panel Granger causality approach

FDI and remittances are important sources of economic growth, depending both on national push policies and on the individuals’ and companies’ interests. The problem approached in this paper is the extent to which FDI inflows in migrant origin countries influence the level, dynamics and sustainability of the remittances received by the households, and whether or not the level of economic development has importance in politicy measures differenciation in the analyzed period (1996-2019). In the present study, based on Dumitrescu-Hurlin Panel Granger causality approach, we highlight to what extent the level of development of the origin country influences the employment decision, namely external mobility for work or employment in FDI companies. Studying the dependence between FDI stock dynamics and remittances inflows evolution in beneficiary countries, we point: (1) if the attractiveness for FDI in the origin country attenuates the dynamics of the external mobility of the working age population, (2) to which extent a country's GDP/capita level influence the attractiveness for FDI inflows and the level of remittances sent by migrants in the origin countries (3) if the advancement index of the FDI stock dynamics relative to the remittances inflows can be appreciated as a marker for policy measures differentiation in the field of labour market for retaining human capital

Are we facing a radical change in the migration behavior of medical graduates from less developed countries? Demographic profile vs social push factors

The purpose of this research is to identify the determinants of the propensity to migrate for further studies after graduation of the medical students as defined factor for better employment, and to identify the other push factors in the origin country. As a result of the dichotomous nature of the dependent variables, logistic regression was applied

Trademark potential increase and entrepreneurship rural development: A case study of Southern Transylvania, Romania.

Cultural heritage capitalization in rural areas redefines the local development model. Thus, heritage tourism has become the engine of economic activities diversification. This study aims to identify a decision-making-model substantiating algorithm in order to support the local heritage capitalization (lesser known on the international cultural consumption market), based on three types of qualitative researches, and the improved Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. In case of lesser known heritage, trademark potential and international cultural tourism route for heritage capitalization are smart choices for the innovative local hub development. The developed AHP version allows for a broader investigation of the characteristics that can lead to a trademark associated development based on integrated and innovative tourism products. To substantiate our approach and validate the model, we conducted a pilot study on a geographic area (Southern Transylvania, Romania), slightly exploited from the perspective of heritage potential, and characterized by a combination of heritage assets. The study's results can be used by local authorities as a foundation for sound and strategic development of the area with economic potential from tangible and intangible heritage (re)interpretation
