Aging well? Social spending, age, and subjective wellbeing across Europe
Get PDFThe association between age and subjective wellbeing
has been examined across different samples and observational
time frames, most often indicating a decline in
subjective wellbeing with age or a U-shaped relation.
Although various contextual variables have been examined
as moderators of this relation, the moderating effect of
social spending has not been investigated so far. Given that
social spending is potentially beneficial for wellbeing and
that social spending in Europe is primarily elderly-oriented,
we assumed that in countries with higher social spending
expenditures, there is a more positive effect of age on
subjective wellbeing. We used cross-sectional hierarchical
linear modelling (HLM) analysis and the data from the
ninth round of the European Social Survey, including 29
countries. Our results show that age is generally negatively
related, while age squared is positively related to subjective
wellbeing, indicating a U-shaped relation between
age and wellbeing. Additionally, social spending at the
aggregate level is a significant determinant of wellbeing
at the individual level. Most importantly, social spending
is a significant positive moderator of this association: with
increasing social spending levels, aging is more positively
related to wellbeing
Trust in local media and information they share during the Covid-19 pandemic: Belgrade example
Get PDFThe analysis of the relevant literature, especially earlier empirical research of serious pandemics (not including the forces of nature and the processes they create), refers to the assumption that man is (directly or indirectly) guilty of them. Given that the media transmits information related to the intensity of the spread of the pandemic, the death rate of the sick, etc., a survey of citizens’ trust in the local media and the information they convey was conducted in order to find out how much the media contribute to the intensity of the spread of the negative effects of the Covid 19 pandemic. Four assumptions were defined as questions to which respondents’ answers were requested: frequency of information through different types of media; assessment of the extent to which different types of media offer the possibility of objective information; the existence of free, independent and impartial media in Serbia, and finding the truth in the media. The research is of a quantitative type, conducted on a sample of 600 respondents in the city of Belgrade. For the collection and processing of data used the desk method, using interviews and via electronic questionnaires, in which the questions in the first part related to the socio-demographic variables of the respondents, while in the second part the group of dependent variables was operationalized through the statements, which were evaluated on a Likert scale. More sub-questions are offered within the four main questions. Descriptive statistical analysis (percentages, arithmetic mean), T-test, One-factor analysis of variance, Standard deviation, Multiple regression analysis and Pearson’s correlation coefficient were used for data analysis. The level of statistical significance was set at p<0.05, and all obtained data were processed in the SPSS program, version 23
Kineska inicijativa „Pojas i put” kao novi model uspostavljanja odnosa između NR Kine i Republike Srbije
No full textPozicioniranje NR Kine u red vodećih svetskih sila umnogome je dobilo na
značaju 2013. godine, usvajanjem nove razvojne strategije inicijative „Pojas
i put”. Predmet istraživanja ovog rada predstavlja analiza kineske inicijative
,,Pojas i put”, kao novog modela uspostavljanja dubljih odnosa između NR
Kine i Republike Srbije. Namera autorki je da predstave i istaknu važnost
Inicijative, kao globalno sveobuhvatnog i najskupljeg projekta današnjice.
Rad nudi odgovore na istraživačka pitanja: Kakve benefite ima Republika Srbija
od učešća u kineskoj inicijativi ’Pojas i put’, kao i kakve koristi može imati NR
Kina od očekivanog razvoja Republike Srbije? Polazne hipoteze govore u prilog
tome da Inicijativa doprinosi napretku regionalne ekonomske integracije sa
obostranim benefitima – inicijatoru i ostalim državama učesnicama, kao i
Republici Srbiji. Posebna pažnja je posvećena mehanizmu saradnje „16+1”,
čijom analizom su izdvojeni bitni elementi regionalne saradnje NR Kine i
država Srednje i Istočne Evrope, sa posebnim fokusom na Republiku Srbiju.
U radu se koriste istorijsko-komparativna metoda, kontekstualni pristup,
deskriptivna statistika, kao i metoda analize sadržaja dokumenata

Population ageing in selected ex-Yugoslav States
No full textThis article presents main indicators of population ageing in Republic of North Macedonia, Republic of Slovenia and Republic of Serbia. Main indicators used in this paper are proportion of old population and “older-old”
population, old dependency ratio, ageing coefficient and median age. The aim is to observe and detect similarities and differences in the age structure of the region based on indicators of ageing. The results are shown
that Serbia is a country with the oldest population: 13.8% old population, 3.6% “older-old” population, the old
dependency ratio 25.45 people per 100 people of working age, and 42.5 median ages. The Republic of North
Macedonia has a younger population compared to other countries
Why EWSs of financial crisis failed during the Covid pandemic - Serbia
No full textThis paper contributes to the large literature on the early warning indicators
of currency crisis. Early warning systems (EWSs) are designed to anticipate future crises, giving
policymakers optimism that they would be able to make proactive management decisions. The magnitude
of the destruction caused by the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be measured or forecasted accurately, as
nobody knows how long it will exist in the world. The aim of the paper is to underline the
experiences of EWSs in Serbia during the first two
years of the pandemic and to suggest alternatives
Republika Srbija i Rusija - modeli investiranja RF u razvoj banjskog turizma u Srbiji
Get PDFU svim razvijenim državama turizam je dugo vremena predmet kompleksnih istraživanja i proučavanja. Posebno posle drugog svetskog rata, dinamika razvoja turizma bila je povoljnija od dinamike razvoja svetske ekonomije i ukupne razmene roba i usluga u međunarodnim ekonomskim odnosima. To je uticalo da su sve zemlje sveta koje imaju povoljne prirodne i društvene uslove za razvoj turizma već u dužem periodu turizam uvrstile u najuže prioritete celokupnog privrednog razvoja. Mnoge zemlje podstiču razvoj turizma raznovrsnim merama ekonomske politike na dugoročnoj osnovi, što je posebno karatkeristično za područje Mediterana, i to: Španiju, Italiju, Grčku, Francusku, Portugal i druge zemlje.
Polazna pretpostavka istraživanja jeste da je ekonomska saradnja Srbije i Ruske Federacije jako slaba i da može biti mnogo obimnija i obuhvatnija.
Cilj istraživanja je, sa teorijskog i metodološkog aspekta - uz korišćenje primera iz prakse i obrađenih relevantnih podataka pojasniti moguće modele investiranja Ruske Federacija u razvoj Banjskog turizma u Srbiji, prvenstveno finansiranje izgradnje lečilišnih i rehabilitacionih centara, ali i smeštajnih i drugih objekata za potrebe korisnika sa zdrastvenim potrebama i ostalih turista.
Pored prethodno navedenog, okvirni cilj istraživanja implicira, kao polazni korak, istraživanje područja sa zdravim (nezagađenim) prirodnim resursima i elementima: vazduh, voda, šume, termo-mineralni izvori, pogodnih za izgradnju lečilišnih i rehabilitacionih centara sa neophodnim osnovnim i komplementarnim objektima. Svi ovi lečilišni i rehabilitacioni centri pored osnovnih objekata namjenski građenih za lečenje i rehabilitaciju korisnika, imali bi i ostale komplementarne objekte za smještaj i rekreaciju gostiju (hoteli, bazeni, teniski i ostali sportsko-rekreativni tereni).
Shodno tradicionalno dobrim (prijateljskim) ekonomsko-političkim odnosima a tim i spoljnotrgovinskoj razmeni Srbije i Rusije, analizirani će biti svi adekvatni modeli finansiranja ovih objekata od strane Rusije i predloženi najefikasniji, najpovoljniji.
Definisani cilj istraživanja implicira i obuhvatniju analizu najvažnijih karakteristika turizma i turističkog tržišta, kao i njegovog smeštajnog sektora, a takođe i širokog spektra pitanja iz domena finansiranja razvoja, finansijskog tržišta i ekonomske politike u turizmu
