1. Inflation, inflation uncertainty and economic growth in Tunisia : nonlinear modelling frameworkThouraya Dammak Boujelbene, Khoutem Ben Jedidia, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Inflation uncertainty is a critical factor influencing not only the market mechanisms but also the economic activity efficiency. In this paper, we investigated the relationship between inflation and growth to capture the impact of inflation uncertainty in Tunisia. The study relied on a dataset covering the period 1984.01-2018.08 and was characterized by a nonlinear specification. We used Hansen’s (2001) Threshold Regression (TR) analysis to determine one threshold effect of inflation on growth while explaining the role of inflation uncertainty in the whole process. This study concluded that an optimal inflation rate does exist. Under this rate, a little rise in inflation may enhance economic growth, allowing an adverse impact of inflation uncertainty. Above the critical threshold of 3%, it was revealed that inflation and inflation uncertainty play opposite roles: while the former harms growth, the latter benefits it. Thus, we cannot sustain the Friedman-Ball hypothesis for the two regimes. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that aimed to investigate the simultaneous effects of inflation and inflation uncertainty on growth in Tunisia using a non-linear methodology. This study aims to fulfil the knowledge gap of such studies for developing countries.

2. Entrepreneurial dynamism and sustainability : unveiling Europe’s economic growth patterns through cluster analysisBarbara Bradač Hojnik, Karin Širec, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This paper highlights the complex relationship between entrepreneurship, sustainable development, and economic growth in 41 European countries, using a reliable K-Means cluster analysis. The research thoroughly evaluates three key factors: the SDG Index for sustainable development, GDP per capita for economic well-being, and the New Business Density Rate for entrepreneurial activity. Our methodology reveals three distinct narratives that embody varying degrees of economic vitality and sustainability. Cluster 1 comprises the financially stable and sustainability-oriented countries of Western and Northern Europe. Cluster 2 showcases the variegated economic and sustainability initiatives in Central and Southern Europe. Cluster 3 envelopes the economic titans with noteworthy business expansion but with the potential for better sustainable practices. The analysis reveals a favourable association between economic prosperity and sustainable development within clusters, although with nonlinear intricacies. The research concludes with a series of strategic imperatives specifically crafted for each cluster, promoting economic variation, increased sustainability, invention, and worldwide collaboration. The resulting findings highlight the crucial need for policy-making that considers the specific context and the potential for combined European resilience and sustainability.

3. Determinants of income inequality in the selected group of European countries : a panel data analysisDarja Boršič, Simon Matej Podgoršek, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The paper focuses on providing basic characteristics of income inequality in a group of selected European countries in the period from 2000 to 2019. After presenting stylized facts and brief literature review, the paper proceeds to empirical analysis of income inequality in the observed countries by panel data techniques. Fixed and random effects models are estimated. After Hausman test approved the usage of fixed effects model, it was tested for serial correlation and robust standard errors were calculated. The empirical analysis of the determinants of income inequality shows that GDP growth, share of population in upper 10% of income percentile, Human Development Index and unemployment rate increase income inequality measured by Gini index, while share of workforce and share of population with tertiary education decrease income inequality. The results of the empirical analysis provide insight into determinants of income inequality, which may be useful for economic policy decision makers in their efforts to decrease the income inequality.

5. Economic growth and environmental sustainability determinants : a panel ARDL evidence for EU CountriesArdita Bytyqi, Hyrije Abazi-Alili, Shenaj Hadzimustafa, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Economic growth and environmental sustainability nowadays are considered to be of particular importance, so understanding the main contributing factors is very important as well. This paper aims to examine the common determinants of economic growth and environmental sustainability, inspect the relationship between these key elements, and check their significance in economic growth and environmental sustainability. With data from EU member states for a period of ten years (2011-2020) the panel autoregressive distributed lag technique (ARDL) is used for the aim of this paper. Common determinants such as recycling and environmental taxes were found to be the major contributors to economic growth in the long run. Recycling is found to be a major contributor to environmental sustainability as well, however, environmental taxes are detected to have a negative impact on environmental sustainability in the long run, but none of these determinants have any impact in the short run.

7. FDI and economic growth : a new look from the sectoral perspectiveVladimir Šimić, Lena Malešević-Perović, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This paper investigates the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on
economic growth in a sample of 10 ex-socialist European and Asian countries.
While the link between FDI and economic growth has been extensively
investigated in empirical literature, this paper contributes to this literature
by econometrically investigating the effects of FDI inflows in specific sectors
using the panel data estimation techniques. In addition to confirming the
positive impact of total FDI inflows on economic growth, using the WiiW
(the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies) FDI database,
which disentangles the FDI data across different industries, the paper finds
significant effects of FDI inflows in manufacturing on growth, whereas FDI
inflows in other sectors are only sporadically statistically significant. This
finding serves as a basis for further investigation of the specific subsectors
(NACE 2-letter classification) within manufacturing, and the empirical
investigation finds that not all FDI inflows within manufacturing enhance
economic growth. Ključne besede: FDI, economic growth, sectoral data, manufacturing Objavljeno v DKUM: 19.06.2023; Ogledov: 435; Prenosov: 8

8. Minority shareholder protection in group of companies and its effect on the economic growth : the case of SloveniaTil Rozman, 2014, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Building on some of the key findings of the so-called law matters theory and its criticism, and taking into account that the economic growth of the Slovenian economy is weak, this paper emphasizes the importance of the minority shareholder protection for the economic growth. Since a group of companies has become the prevailing form of large enterprises, the focus of the paper is on the outside minority shareholder protection. Although groups of companies are a well-known and established topic in several law sectors at the national and the EU level (competition law, tax law, labour law etc.), they are only seldom the subject of the national or EU company law. However, Slovenia is one of only a few member states that have codified company law relating to group of companies. This paper finds that Slovenian normative framework provides a comprehensive protection for outside minority shareholder. As it is especially the enforcement matters that are relevant, not only the codified law (in books), further research on the Slovenian company law relating to group of companies is legitimate and necessary, and should revolve around the question of whether the regulation has achieved the desired objectives in the practice.

9. Productivity and economic growth in the European Union : impact of investment in research and developmentAndreja Nekrep, Sebastjan Strašek, Darja Boršič, 2018, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This paper focuses on investment in research and development as a factor of labour productivity and economic growth. Our analysis confirms the link between expenditure for research and development (expressed in % of GDP) and labour productivity (expressed in the number of hours worked) based on selected data for EU Member States in the period 1995-2013. A causal link between variables of the concave parabola was confirmed, and the value of expenditure for research and development (2.85% of EU GDP) maximising productivity (per hour of work) was determined based on the examined data. In accordance with these findings, EU’s target of reaching 3% of GDP spent on research and development to be achieved by 2020 seems in support of reaching maximum productivity in the EU.
