The COVID-19 pandemic represented a tremendous shock for both public and private sectors and put pressure on the economic environment alongside national healthcare systems. Our article examined the ...economic resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic in the EU Member States and assessed if countries with more intense use of digitalization instruments (e-government features, e-commerce, ITC skills, etc.) in both public and private sectors registered a lower economic decline during 2019–2020. Our approach was based firstly on statistical correlation analysis applied to several indicators obtained from Eurostat and European Commission. Secondly, we elaborated different regional models of economic and social homogenous characteristics that could be found among EU Member States based on a hierarchical cluster analysis model applied to several structural socio-economic and digitalization indicators. The main conclusion was that there is a strong positive correlation between the share of ITC employment and the share of ITC in GDP, and the level of digital skills for individuals and the share of companies with high intensity of digitalization.
In this article I want to elaborate a case study on for estimating the equilibrium exchange rate in the context of Romania’s accession to the Eurozone. This paper reveals an econometric model between ...real exchange rate and its determining factors based on the methodology BEER. I started this study because currently the challenge for Romania is joining ERM II and hence the Economic and Monetary Union. Given the exchange rate volatility and the implications it may have on the Romanian economy, it is important to determine whether or not there were internal devaluations.
This paper examines the impact of financial risks on economic growth in the first 15 Member States of the European Union, considering 1995-2014 period and aims to lay down a new explanatory model of ...economic growth, based mainly on the behavioral reactivity of the financial disruptions mentioned above. The model was estimated through the panel estimated generalized least squares method and included additional control variables in order to strengthen the research conducted. Our goal consists in the examination of the financial risks in the European Union and in the estimation of their impact on economic growth.
In the context of accelerating inflation growth in 2021-2022 in the Euro Area, the ECB is considering tightening monetary policy, i.e. moving from a quantitative easing (QE) monetary policy that has ...been practiced for almost a decade in the Euro Area to a quantitative tightening (QT) monetary policy. This article examines what this transition entails as QE provides an easing of financial conditions on a broader scale by reducing long-term interest rates, while the adoption of QT should have the opposite effect, although not necessarily of the same magnitude, i.e. reducing the size of a central bank’s asset balance sheet.
