Long-term unemployment and the Great Recession:Evidence from UK stocks and flows

Long‐term unemployment more than doubled during the United Kingdom's Great Recession. Only a small fraction of this persistent increase can be accounted for by the changing composition of unemployment across personal and work history characteristics. Through extending a well‐known stocks‐flows decomposition of labour market fluctuations, the cyclical behaviour of participation flows can account for over two‐thirds of the high level of long‐term unemployment following the financial crisis, especially the procyclical flow from unemployment to inactivity. The pattern of these flows and their changing composition suggest a general shift in the labour force attachment of the unemployed during the downturn

Conservation-Restoration Works on Japanese Bookbinding Yochi Shiryaku

Ovaj diplomski rad se bavi proučavanjem japanskih uveza i konzervatorsko – restauratorskoj primjeni na japanskoj knjizi Yochi Shiryaku iz 1871. U teoretskom dijelu je opisan način izrade i vrste papira, poznatim i manje poznatim vrstama uveza, od kojih je jedan stil način uveza predmeta na kojem je izvršen zahvat. Također i prekretnicama u tisku u Japanu i njegovom utjecaju na konzervatorsko - restauratorsku struku. Znanje iz teoretskog dijela je primijenjeno na konzervatorsko - restauratorskim radovima na japanskom uvezu iz 1871. Knjiga je dio Yochi Shiryaku edicije knjiga o zemljopisu svijeta.This master thesis is about study of Japanese bookbindings and application of conservation – restoration works on Japanese bookbinding Yochi Shiryaku from 1871. The theoretical part describes the method of making and types of paper, known and lesser-known types of bookbindings, one of which is the method of bookbinding on the object on which the procedure was performed. Also about milestones in the press in Japan and its impact on the conservation - restoration profession. That knowledge from theoretical part is applied on conservation-restoration work on Japanese bookbinding from 1871. The book is part of Yochi Shiryaku geographical books edition

Nontariff Trade Barriers and the New Protectionism

Cilj ovog rada je prikazati utjecaj necarinskih trgovinskih barijera i mjera novog protekcionizma na međunarodnu trgovinu, sa posebnim osvrtom na Europsku uniju. Necarinske trgovinske barijere i novi protekcionizam su netransparentne mjere i postupci koje imaju potencijalno diskriminirajući i protekcionistički utjecaj čijom primjenom se negativno utječe na inozemna poduzeća. U necarinske trgovinske barijere spadaju kvote, tehničke i administrativne barijere, međunarodni karteli i damping. U mjere novog protekcionizma spadaju subvencije i dobrovoljna izvozna ograničenja. Zbog netransparentnosti teško je utvrditi postojanje NTB i izmjeriti njihov efekt jer se javljaju u različitim oblicima i na različite načine se provode. Uz različite postojeće mjere frekvencijskog tipa, usporedbi cijena i količine trgovine kao i procjene potpore proizvođača u određenoj industriji i procjene potpore potrošača, nadležne organizacije – WTO i u EU Europska komisija, nastoje zaštiti gospodarstva od utjecaja barijera, smanjiti utjecaj, vršiti istrage, rješavati sporove. Implementacijom barijera smanjuje se obujam međunarodne trgovine, usporava se trgovina, iskrivljuju se trgovinski tokovi, otežava se uvoz što rezultira višim cijenama ili ga kvantitativno ograničava. Potrošači se susreću sa manjim izborom, višim cijenama, određene barijere im oduzimaju potrošački višak a na indirektan način financiraju subvencije.The aim of this paper is to show the impact of non-tariff trade barriers and measures of new protectionism on international trade, with particular reference to the European Union. Non-tariff trade barriers and new protectionism are non-transparent measures and procedures that have potentially discriminatory and protectionist impact, whose application negatively affects foreign companies. Non-tariff trade barriers include quotas, technical and administrative barriers, international cartels and dumping. Measures of new protectionism include subsidies and voluntary export restrictions. Due to non-transparency, it is difficult to determine the existence of NTB and measure their effect because they occur in different forms and are implemented in different ways. In addition to the different existing frequency-type measures, price and trade volume comparisons, as well as industry-specific producer support assessments and consumer support assessments, the competent organisations – the WTO and the EU, the European Commission endeavor to protect economies from the impact of barriers, reduce impact, investigate, resolve disputes. The implementation of barriers reduces the volume of international trade, slows down trade, distorts trade flows, makes imports more difficult, resulting in higher prices or quantitatively limiting it. Consumers face fewer choices, higher prices, certain barriers take away their consumer surplus and they indirectly fund subsidies
