Determinants of International Tourism Flows to the Republic of Croatia: An SUR Analysis of Panel Data from 1993-2015
Get PDFAbstract: This paper examines origin-effects of tourist flows into Croatia from 1993-2015, a time period that features several important events: the fragmentation of Yugoslavia, the European recession, and Croatia’s accession to the European Union. Applying the seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) approach to a large panel data set with the number of annual arrivals from each origin country as the dependent variable, we identify and analyze the determinants of tourism flows to Croatia. A series of augmented gravity model specifications reveals that inflows can be explained by geographic proximity, GDP per capita, origin country population, and openness. The role of the real exchange rate variable is inconclusive, and in fact problematic for years 1993-95 when hyperinflation plagued the region in the wake of Yugoslavia’s dissolution. The results confirm the validity of the models, both for the subset of origin countries and for the subset of non-origin countries for which otherwise complete data are available. Given the importance of tourism to Croatia’s national accounts position, implications for tourism policy are discussed, as are suggestions for future research.

International Relations and Policy Development of the Republic of Macedonia (doi: 10.14706/ICESOS174)
Get PDFAbstract: In order to recapture the essence and justification of this paper, the source of this theoretical
review we found it in the definition of statehood. After the end of the thirty years of civil war in Europe and
the signing of the peace treaty of Westphalia in 1648, the creation and development of the country began to
the form that we know today.
In terms of increasing interdependence between the countries, the question of their mutual cooperation is
essential. For the states equally important segment with internally arranged relations is the manner on
which they concern and regulate the international relations.
State boundaries are endpoints to where sovereignty lies within a country. The authorities within it regulate
the relations inside and the nature of its international positions. The highest authority, which does not
recognize any other form of higher power, is sovereignty. Considering that the law, especially the
international, is an active matter open to interpretation, although the basic features of a country are clear,
yet there are two types of states divided to a de jure- existing under law and de facto-existing in reality,
based on the matter whether and which of the characteristics of statehood they own.
Republic of Macedonia, has raised the issue of the international relations high. Confirmation of the said is
the chapter VI of the Constitution, which is dedicated to this issue. Except the Constitution, the area of the
international relations is stipulated by the Law on Foreign Affairs and the Law of signing, ratification and
execution of the international contracts. The Law on Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Macedonia, precisely
defines the concepts of "foreign affairs" and "foreign policy".
Keywords: state, recognition, politics, government, rule, sovereignty, international relations, international

How Marketing Made One of the Unhealthiest Beverages a Top Demanded One the Power of Great Marketing (doi: 10.14706/icesos1719)
Get PDFAbstract: Marketing has taken a leading role regarding the success of any business because nowadays
with the opportunity to improve product/service quality - through technology development and
information availability- any organization can achieve desired results in terms of what they have to
offer.
This leaves more room for functions like marketing to be fully applied in accordance to organizational
goals. Therefore this paper aims to explain how powerful marketing can be through the example of the
giant Coca-Cola Company, which has been producing and selling unhealthy products since 1886 and yet
leads the beverage industry to this day. The paper also analyses some facts and data that help better
understand how because of strong marketing strategies and worldwide brand recognition people will
even buy and massively consume these kinds of harmful products.
Key words: marketing, organization, Coca-Cola, unhealthy, buy, consume
Hiring a High-quality Auditor and debt maturity structure: Evidence from Iranian firms
Get PDFAbstract: The current research is an attempt to offer new insights into the association between hiring high-quality audit firms and corporate debt maturity structure. To this end, 94 firms listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange were scrutinized for the period 2011-2015. To test the research hypotheses, multiple regression and data panel were employed. The findings confirm that a high-quality audit firm can enhance the debt maturity. The results of testing the research hypothesis point to a significant correlation between the hiring of a high-quality audit firm and corporate debt maturity structure, in that short-term debt and quality audit are two alternative mechanisms used to mitigate information asymmetry and monitor managerial behavior. Therefore, in firms audited by high-quality audit firms, due to the effective monitoring imposed by auditors on debt convent, creditors experience information asymmetry and less agency costs, thereby desiring to extend the debt maturity. The findings of current study not only fill existing gaps in the field, but also contribute to decision-making practices in stock exchange
Internal Migration and Social Identity Construction: Implications for Prejudice and Stigma in Albanian Post-socialist Society
Get PDFAbstract: Significant increase of internal migration in Albanian post-socialist society affected people’s connections and their identity. New social phenomena were differently perceived by the existing city inhabitants and the newcomers. On the one hand, the concept of social identity struggled between inclusionary/exclusionary boundaries; on the other hand, prejudice and stigma triggered from this complex reality. This paper applies Social Identity Theory to examine how internal migration affects social identity and its implications on prejudice and stigma in Albanian post-socialist society. This qualitative study is based on desk research and secondary data drawn by national statistics and cross-sectional research conducted in Albania during the period 1991-2017. It concludes that more longitudinal studies should be conducted to understand the dynamics of social identity construction within the context of internal migration in Albania. This is necessary to promote a more inclusive society in order to accommodate social diversity and view internal migrants as local agents of development rather than objects of prejudice and stigma
Financial Monitoring of Medication Consumption in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Get PDFhealthcare system practice as its share in GDP has constantly increased
during past decades, which is now above 10% of GDP in developed
countries. However, very often it is more of an issue related to the
current political and socio-economic situation in a country rather than
the one managed by experts. Although one might expect that the
increase in healthcare spending contributes to better health of the
population, relevant indicators show that high healthcare spending in
Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) does not result in better health of its
population. Due to this reason, special attention needs to be paid to the
economic analysis of healthcare spending. Irrational use of medications
is just one of many problems associated with an inefficient health
system, but one that heavily impacts on the health economics. In
situations where it may not be easy to change the existing financing
models, we should explore how to be more effective in spending within
the existing structure. Better control of medication consumption could
be one of the actions that helps improve the effectiveness of the
available budget. Therefore, the general aim of the paper is to
determine the effect that financial monitoring of medication
consumption has on the control of increase in healthcare spending,
which in turn might help establishing a financially sustainable
healthcare system. Bearing in mind that irrational usage of
medications influences the access to healthcare services, destabilizes
country’s budget, and endangers the margin of social sustainability
(endurance), the constant financial monitoring of medication
consumption is important as it can help us recognize those segments
where consumption deviates from standard and where prevention
activities are needed. All this can result in the limitation of further
increase in medication consumption
