1. Purchasing power parity in B5 countries : how important are tourism pricesJani Bekő, Darja Boršič, 2024, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Opis: This chapter examines the PPP hypothesis in five Balkan countries (B5). The current analysis incorporates four important novelties. First, from a methodological standpoint, the PPP is scrutinized by a range of first-generation and second-generation panel unit root tests. Additionally, three panel cointegration tests are performed: the Pedroni residual cointegration test, the Kao residual cointegration test and the Johansen Fisher cointegration test. Second, the study utilizes two price indicators: the consumer price index for hotels and restaurants and the general consumer price index. Third, the PPP proposition for the Balkan economies is inspected using a new, updated data set covering the period from January 2006 to December 2023. Fourth, two numeraire currencies, the euro and the USD, are operated to assess the validity of exchange rate parity conditions. The econometric results provide resolute support for the PPP concept in the group of B5 countries.

2. Carbon credits and crude oil : an investigation of the price returns interaction in the international marketAndré Assis de Salles, Renato Barros Lima, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This paper aims to verify the relationship between the international markets for crude oil and carbon credits. We studied the returns of prices practiced in these markets, focusing on the transmission of shocks between oil prices and carbon credit prices. The methodological approach used financial econometrics to study these variables' risk and return relationships. Besides causality and cointegration hypothesis tests, the VECM and GARCH models were estimates. There is a shortand long-term interaction between these variables. The volatility models show a significant association between the volatilities of the two variables of interest. Fossil fuels, mainly crude oil, generate energy that has substantial restrictions. At the same time, the carbon credits market has shown significant growth that can contribute to the use of energy from fossil fuels with parsimony and responsibility. Studying these variables and their interactions contributes to understanding the importance of the carbon market.

3. Development of a theoretical model for the price formation of agri-food products in the food supply chain : aǂ Slovenian case studyJernej Prišenk, Nejc Zidar, Jernej Turk, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The main objective of the research was to develop a theoretical model for price construction in the agri-food sector, which should enable better transparency and efficiency of pricing policies in the food supply chain. The central part of the article focuses on the data set, in which the data sources and the economic analysis methodology are presented in detail. Based on this analysis, a theoretical model for pricing was developed, which is presented in more detail in a separate chapter. The model focuses on prices in three sectors (primary production, food processing industry and distribution/retail) of different food and agri-food chains and offers concrete solutions to improve pricing in these chains. The final chapter contains guidelines and recommendations for the practical application of the model with the aim of improving the transparency and effectiveness of pricing policy in the agri-food sector. The overall report represents an important contribution to understanding the behaviour and responsiveness of agri-food systems to specific cost changes and provides useful guidance for policy makers and stakeholders in the agri-food sector.

4. Contract price change during the construction phase: unforeseen market conditionsNataša Šuman, Stanko Tominc, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The unstable economic conditions that have been in place in the Slovenian and international construction markets reveal the problem of a disproportionate increase in the prices of construction materials and energy products. Such increases will therefore result in higher costs of construction services, which would ultimately affect the total value of the construction project. These events in turn bring uncertainty to the construction project and would negatively impact the business of construction companies and investors. Legal and construction practices have so far developed various ways to regulate contract changes arising due to unforeseen market conditions. The present paper offers a contribution to the contract price change solution during the construction phase. The introduction first presents the measures and guidelines that deal with the differences in contract prices in Slovenia and some other countries. Then, various methods of calculating price differences that have emerged in current Slovenian practice are described. As a result, a proposal for a hybrid method of monthly price difference calculation is presented. The hybrid method represents a balanced solution resulting from the unforeseen increase in construction material prices on the market and is applicable to all construction projects. The three methods, i.e., a calculation method, a method based on the GZS-ZGIGM index, and a hybrid method, are applied to a real example of a public contract. The calculation of the price valorisation, represented as an index of the recognised price increases of contract works, is carried out. The results are compared, and further solutions are proposed.

5. The impact of financial support mechanisms and geopolitical factors on the profitability of investments in solar power plants in SloveniaIztok Gornjak, Filip Kokalj, Niko Samec, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This article examines the impact of financial support mechanisms and geopolitical factors on the profitability of investments in solar power plants within Slovenia. The European Union’s energy policy prioritizes increases in renewable energy sources, aiming to reduce dependency on unstable and volatile fossil fuel markets. Solar power plants play a vital role in this transition. The energy policy framework also includes mechanisms and support systems to operate such facilities. This article analyzes electricity price trends over the past decade and addresses which support type—guaranteed purchase or operational support—has proven more profitable for investments in solar power plants up to 50 kW in Slovenia, considering economic and geopolitical influences on the electricity market. Although the global energy market has been affected by various significant events in recent years, it was found that the COVID-19 pandemic had minimal impact on the electricity market. In contrast, the onset of the conflict in Ukraine has contributed to rising electricity prices and has influenced the support dynamics essential for the development and sustainability of renewable energy systems. Analyses from the past decade indicate a higher return on investment in solar power plants when operational support mechanisms are chosen over guaranteed purchase support.

6. Age and market capitalization drive large price variations of cryptocurrenciesArthur A. B. Pessa, Matjaž Perc, Haroldo V. Ribeiro, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Cryptocurrencies are considered the latest innovation in finance with considerable impact across social, technological, and economic dimensions. This new class of financial assets has also motivated a myriad of scientific investigations focused on understanding their statistical properties, such as the distribution of price returns. However, research so far has only considered Bitcoin or at most a few cryptocurrencies, whilst ignoring that price returns might depend on cryptocurrency age or be influenced by market capitalization. Here, we therefore present a comprehensive investigation of large price variations for more than seven thousand digital currencies and explore whether price returns change with the coming-of-age and growth of the cryptocurrency market. We find that tail distributions of price returns follow power-law functions over the entire history of the considered cryptocurrency portfolio, with typical exponents implying the absence of characteristic scales for price variations in about half of them. Moreover, these tail distributions are asymmetric as positive returns more often display smaller exponents, indicating that large positive price variations are more likely than negative ones. Our results further reveal that changes in the tail exponents are very often simultaneously related to cryptocurrency age and market capitalization or only to age, with only a minority of cryptoassets being affected just by market capitalization or neither of the two quantities. Lastly, we find that the trends in power-law exponents usually point to mixed directions, and that large price variations are likely to become less frequent only in about 28% of the cryptocurrencies as they age and grow in market capitalization.

7. Cycles of the housing market in Hungary form the economic crisis until todayLászló Harnos, 2018, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The main aim of this paper is to identify the underlying reasons for the cyclical nature of the Hungarian housing market, in particular the business cycles, the construction, and market participants’ expectations. Our research was conducted based on analysis of statistical data and of the housing market indices. As a result, it can be stated that cyclic behaviour of the housing market may be explained primarily with business cycles, but state subsidies and mortgages also affect the variations. Accordingly, the increasing lending and the high amount of subsidies can generate a price bubble. The supply of second-hand dwellings looks more flexible compared with that of new ones. However, the expectations of market operators do not have a demonstrable effect on the housing market.

8. Creation of own reserves for own shares in the acquisition of own shares for withdrawal by simplified procedure under Slovenian law where the consideration is paid in instalmentsGregor Drnovšek, 2018, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: During the process of withdrawing own shares, the rules that are relevant, among others, to their acquisition by the company are regulations governing the creation of reserves for own shares. The regulations are clear in cases where the company acquires their own shares simultaneously with the payment of the purchase price. This article will pertain to the proper application of these regulations according to Slovenian law, specifically in cases where the company pays the purchase price for their own shares, which it intends to withdraw after acquisition, in instalments, and acquires their own shares only after paying the last instalment of the purchase price.

10. Assessment of cassava supply response in Nigeria using vector error correction model (VECM)Oluwakemi Adeola Obayelu, Samuel Ebute, 2016, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The response of agricultural commodities to changes in price is an important factor in the success of any reform programme in agricultural sector of Nigeria. The producers of traditional agricultural commodities, such as cassava, face the world market directly. Consequently, the producer price of cassava has become unstable, which is a disincentive for both its production and trade. This study investigated cassava supply response to changes in price. Data collected from FAOSTAT from 1966 to 2010 were analysed using Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) approach. The results of the VECM for the estimation of short run adjustment of the variables toward their long run relationship showed a linear deterministic trend in the data and that Area cultivated and own prices jointly explained 74% and 63% of the variation in the Nigeria cassava output in the short run and long-run respectively. Cassava prices (P<0.001) and land cultivated (P<0.1) had positive influence on cassava supply in the short-run. The short-run price elasticity was 0.38 indicating that price policies were effective in the short-run promotion of cassava production in Nigeria. However, in the long-run elasticity cassava was not responsive to price incentives significantly. This suggests that price policies are not effective in the long-run promotion of cassava production in the country owing to instability in governance and government policies.
