ЗА БЛИЗОСТТА НА РОДОПСКИТЕ ГОВОРИ ДО КИРИЛО-МЕТОДИЕВИЯ ЕЗИК

The paper systematically presents the most archaic features characteristic of the Rhodope dialects (in the area of phonetics, grammar and vocabulary) that make them the closest to the Old Bulgarian language of Cyril and Methodius. Based on phonetic features (presence of ô, ê, ы, akavism, terminal softness of consonants), grammar features (case forms of nouns, the three-tier article system revealing the names and pronouns and pronominal adverbs, word order syntactic features) and lexical features (preserved ancient words), the author concludes that the Rhodope dialects with their uniqueness and antiquity remain an inexhaustible source of valuable data about the history of Bulgarian and Slavic linguistics.The paper systematically presents the most archaic features characteristic of the Rhodope dialects (in the area of phonetics, grammar and vocabulary) that make them the closest to the Old Bulgarian language of Cyril and Methodius.

Children and female employment in Mongolia

Although a large body of literature has argued that motherhood has a profound and long-lasting negative effect on the employment and earnings of women, there is little evidence focusing on the post-communist region. This paper exploits the latest rounds of the EBRD-World Bank Life in Transition Survey (LiTS) and the Mongolian National Statistics Office Household Socio-Economic Survey (HSES) to examine the correlation between the presence of children of different age categories in a family and female employment in Mongolia in 2016. We examine the availability of childcare, social norms and attitudes towards women, as well as household decision-making as potential explanations. We find that small children decrease the probability of female employment relative to women with no small children. In particular, women with two children aged one to six years are 21.5 percentage points less likely to be employed. Our results also suggest that cultural biases against women may be at least partially responsible for the low female employment levels we uncovered. These results are unlikely to be driven by omitted variable bias

The effects of economic austerity on pro-sociality: Evidence from Greece

The European sovereign debt crisis resulted in policies of fiscal austerity and economic downturn in Greece, marked by a prolonged period of recession and high unemployment. This article explores the social impact of the economic crisis, focusing on its effects on altruism using new household-level survey data and quasi-behavioral outcomes. We focus on the effects of joblessness, the most severe form of economic hardship imposed as a result of the crisis. Our findings reveal a strong relationship between job loss in the household and decreased altruism. We provide experimental evidence of these effects and of in-group bias in charitable giving as a result of joblessness. Our results show that joblessness intensifies survey respondents’ preferences for national as opposed to foreign charities
