Светска економска криза може се посматрати као оквир у коме се разоткривају поједине црте друштвених, политичких и економских уређења. Случај грађевинских радника из Босне и Херцеговине и Србије на раду у Словенији, који су номинално због кризе отпуштени, недвосмислено указује на постојање системске дискриминације, засноване на националној припадности. ; World financial crisis can be viewed as bringing about insights into some characteristics of our social, political and economic systems. The case of migrant construction workers from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia working in Slovenia, fired in the name of the financial crisis, undoubtedly calls attention to the existence of systemic discrimination which is based on nationality.
Greece has still not found its way back while its economy has been deteriorating year after year since 2008. It is argued in this article that the central factor of this outcome was the dynamics of financing in the countries most involved in Greek indebtedness that was considerably greater and had a more detrimental influence on the Greek economy than poor fiscal management that different governments could incur. The impetus displayed by financial services did not correspond to the weakness of the real sector which occurs when borrowing and financial flows are used without restriction to meet the interests of creditors. In this work an analysis of the channels that fueled Greek debt is carried out in the context proposed by Minsky where an economy moves from financial stability to a scenario of instability supported in two determining variables: high and exaggerated interest on debt service and the type of agents holding debt assets. The debt-service interest incurred by the government since joining the eurozone and the impetus for financing caused the debt to have a giant snowball effect while the change in debt holders forced the government to comply with strict and onerous government and macroeconomic reforms that directly impacted the ability of Greek governments to pay with negative results on the well-being of society. ; Grecia aún no ha encontrado el camino hacia su recuperación desde que su economía se contrajera año tras año desde el 2008. Se argumenta en este artículo que el factor central de este resultado fue la dinámica de financiación de los países más involucrados en el endeudamiento griego, que fue considerablemente mayor y que influyó más negativamente sobre la economía griega que el deficiente y dispendioso manejo fiscal en el que pudieron incurrir diferentes gobiernos. El ímpetu mostrado por los servicios financieros no correspondió a la debilidad del sector real, pues el endeudamiento y los flujos financieros fueron utilizados sin restricción alguna para satisfacer los intereses de los acreedores. En este trabajo se realiza un análisis de los canales que fueron alimentando la deuda griega en el contexto propuesto por Minsky (1992) de inestabilidad financiera, que tiene lugar cuando una economía transita desde la estabilidad financiera hacia un escenario de inestabilidad soportado en dos variables determinantes: los altos y exagerados intereses del servicio de la deuda y el tipo de agentes poseedores de los activos de deuda. Los intereses del servicio de la deuda contraída por el Gobierno desde su incorporación a la zona euro junto al fuerte impulso de la financiación provocaron que la deuda se convirtiese en una bola de nieve gigante, mientras que el cambio en los poseedores de deuda impidió que el Gobierno pudiera cumplir con las estrictas y onerosas reformas gubernamentales y macroeconómicas, que repercutieron directamente sobre la capacidad de pago de los Gobiernos griegos y que provocaron resultados negativos sobre el bienestar de la sociedad. ; Grecia aínda non atopou o camiño cara á súa recuperación desde que a súa economía se contraese ano tras ano desde o 2008. Arguméntase neste artigo que o factor central deste resultado foi a dinámica de financiamento dos países máis involucrados no endebedamento grego, que foi considerablemente maior e que influíu máis negativamente sobre a economía grega que o deficiente e dispendioso manexo fiscal no que puideron incorrer diferentes gobernos. O ímpeto mostrado polos servizos financeiros non correspondeu á debilidade do sector real, pois o endebedamento e os fluxos financeiros foron utilizados sen restrición ningunha para satisfacer os intereses dos acredores. Neste traballo realízase unha análise das canles que foron alimentando a débeda grega no contexto proposto por Minsky (1992) de inestabilidade financeira, que ten lugar cando unha economía transita desde a estabilidade financeira cara a un escenario de inestabilidade soportado en dúas variables determinantes: os altos e esaxerados xuros do servizo da débeda e mais o tipo de axentes posuidores dos activos de débeda. Os xuros do servizo da débeda contraída polo Goberno desde a súa incorporación á zona euro xunto ao forte impulso do financiamento provocaron que a débeda se convertese nunha bóla de neve xigante, mentres que o cambio nos posuidores de débeda impediu que o Goberno puidese cumprir coas estritas e onerosas reformas gobernamentais e macroeconómicas, que repercutiron directamente sobre a capacidade de pagamento dos Gobernos gregos e que provocaron resultados negativos sobre o benestar da sociedade.
The financial crisis has adversely affected all the countries of the world in the conditions of globalization with different intensity, no matter if it is higher or lower level of development and different economic structures. In the context of globalization in the countries in transition, the banking system was reformed, thus creating a new financial market. The International Monetary Fund has taken an active part in the transition process of Eastern European countries by providing advice and approving financial arrangements. Developed countries of the world have implemented measures of non-standard monetary policy to overcome the global financial crisis. In some parts of Central and Eastern Europe, in addition to the general corporate identity (bank name, abbreviated name, trademark and slogan of the bank), the countries also applied qualitative features of the bank's corporate identity (image, reputation and goodwill). As they enter the 21st century, banks in developed countries are increasingly emphasizing the corporate culture and style of business of the bank. In the practice of banks, the following performances are most often present: financial, marketing, performance management, employee performance, business philosophy, reputation and the image of the bank. The banks' performance analysis included 13 Central and Eastern European countries divided into three groups. Performance over the period 2008-2018 is analyzed, related to: share of total assets in GDP, share of total loans in GDP, share of total deposit in GDP and level of capital adequacy of Central and Eastern European countries. The analysis shows that the central banks of the countries of Central Europe are dominant, and that in certain performances they are approached by the banks of the countries of Eastern Europe (members of the European Union and the Western Balkans). ; Finansijska kriza je negativno uticala na sve zemlje sveta u uslovima globalizacije sa različitim intezitetom, bez razlike da li se radi o višem ili nižem nivou razvijenosti i različitim privrednim strukturama. U uslovima globalizacije u zemljama u tranziciji izvršena je reforma bankarskog sistema i na taj način je započeto stvaranje novog finansijskog tržišta. Međunarodni monetarni fond uzeo je aktivno učešće u procesu tranzicije zemalja istočne Evrope pružanjem saveta i odobravanjem finansijskih aranžmana. Razvijene zemlje sveta su radi prevazilaženja svetske finansijske krize primenile mere nestandardne monetarne politike.Zemlje centralne i istočne Evrope su u određenom delu pored opšteg korporativnog identiteta (naziv banke, skraćenog imena, zaštitnog znaka i slogana banke) primenjivale i kvalitativna obeležja korporativnog identiteta (imidž, reputacije i gudvila) banke. Ulaskom u 21. vek banke razvijenih zemalja sve više stavljaju naglasak na korporativnu kulturu i stil poslovanja banke. U praksi banaka najčešće su prisutne sledeće performanse: finansijske, marketing, menadžment performanse, performanse zaposlenih, poslovne filozofije, ugleda, reputacije i imidža banke. Analiza performansi banaka obuhvatila je 13 zemalja centralne i istočne Evrope podeljenih u tri grupe. Analizirane su performanse u vremenskom periodu od 2008-2018. godine koje se odnose na: učešće ukupne aktive u BDP-u, učešće ukupnih kredita u BDP-u, učešće ukupnog depozita u BDP-u i nivo adekvatnosti kapitala zemalja centralne i istočne Evrope. Analiza pokazuje da su dominantne banke zemalja centralne Evrope, a da se njima u određenim performansama približavaju banke zemalja istočne Evrope (članice Evropske Unije i zapadnog Balkana).
The governments of all countries of the world have faced up with the health crisis caused by the Covid 19 virus pandemic in the previous and current year. This crisis turned into an economic crisis, considering that it was necessary to provide huge financial resources to overcome it. Governments "pumped" additional amounts of money by supplying the economy and the population with new liquidity through subsidies and one-time assistance in the form of "helicopter money". This has contributed to the deterioration of the fiscal performance of the world economies. The paper analyzes the economic and fiscal performance of the world leading economies such as the European Union, the United States, China and Russia. The aim of this paper is to point out the consequences of the applied measures in the domain of monetary and fiscal policy and influence on the increase of the budget deficit and public debt in the world. ; Vlade svih država sveta suočile su se sa zdravstvenom krizom izazvanom pandemijom kovida-19 u prethodnoj i tekućoj godini. Ova kriza je prerasla u ekonomsku krizu, s obzirom na to da je za njeno prevazilaženje bilo neophodno obezbediti ogromna finansijska sredstva. Osim toga, vlade su "upumpavale" dodatne količine novca snabdevajući privredu i stanovništvo novom likvidnošću kroz subvencije i jednokratne pomoći u vidu "novca iz helikoptera".Sve ovo je doprinelo pogoršanju fiskalnih performansi ekonomija u svetu. U radu su analizirane ekonomske i fiskalne performanse vodećih ekonomija sveta poput Evropske unije, SAD, Kine i Rusije. Cilј rada je da ukaže na posledice primenjenih mera u domenu monetarne i fiskalne politike na rast budžetskog deficita i javnog duga u svetu.
This article presents results of the research in contemporary trends of international economic inequality. The author argues that international economic inequality is a bidirectional and complex concept. The bidirectionality and complexity of the concept is reflected in the fact that there are countries that concurrently converge to or diverge from the most developed countries in terms of their economic development. The key finding presented here is the rise of economic inequality between countries, especially between the poorest and the richest countries. The exceptions are some countries that have made significant progress in the period from 2000 to 2014 in reducing the economic inequality in comparison to the richest countries. The most important factors that have contributed to their progress are distinctive economic institutions and development policies of those countries, as well as the effects of the financial crisis since 2007-2008, which caused a decade-long stagnation in the most developed parts of the world. ; Rad je posvećen istraživanju savremenih trendova međunarodne ekonomske nejednakosti. Namera autora u ovom radu jeste da ukaže da je međunarodna ekonomska nejednakost dvosmeran i složen koncept. Dvosmernost i složenost tog koncepta se ogleda u činjenici da istovremeno postoje zemlje koje se u pogledu razvoja udaljavaju ili približavaju najrazvijenijim državama. Ključni zaključak rada jeste da ekonomska nejednakost između država raste, posebno između najsiromašnijih i najbogatijih država. Izuzetak su pojedine zemlje koje su u periodu od 2000. do 2014. godine učinile značajan iskorak u smanjenju ekonomske nejednakosti u usporedbi sa najbogatijim državama. Najvažnije faktore koji su doprineli tom napretku čine osobene ekonomske institucije i razvojne politike tih država, kao i finansijske krize i višedecenijska stagnacija u najrazvijenijim delovima sveta.
Slobodan protok roba, usluga, ljudi i kapitala, razvoj informacione i komunikacione tehnologije, učinili su da lokalni problemi postanu globalni. Finansijska kriza 2007. godine vrlo brzo je postala globalna. Pandemija kovida-19 izazvala je svetsku zdravstvenu krizu, koja je ubrzo prerasla u ekonomsku, uz pretnju da postane i društvena kriza. Makroekonomski troškovi pandemije ogledaju se u padu bruto domaćeg proizvoda (GDP), rastu nezaposlenosti, povećanju fiskalne i eksterne neravnoteže. Fiskalna politika je u svim zemljama bila okosnica ekonomske politike u borbi protiv posledica pandemije. Ono što se sa sigurnošću može reći je da je šok pandemije pogodio ekonomiju i sa strane agregatne tražnje i sa strane agregatne ponude. U radu pokušavamo da sagledamo kako je pandemija delovala na privrede zemalja Zapadnog Balkana, sa kolikim privrednim padom su se suočile u 2020. godini. U radu takođe analiziramo koliko su javni sektor, zdravstvo i obrazovanje bili efikasni u borbi protiv posledica pandemije. ; The free flow of goods, services, people and capital, and the development of information and communication technology have all made local problems global. The 2007 financial crisis very quickly became global. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a worldwide health crisis, which quickly became an economic one, with threats of becoming a social one as well. The macroeconomic costs of the pandemic are visible in the form of shrinking GDP, the rise of unemployment, as well as fiscal and external imbalance. In all countries fiscal policy was the cornerstone of economic policy in the fight against the consequences of the pandemic. What we can say for certain is that the shock of the pandemic hit the economy both from the aspect of aggregate demand, as well as aggregate supply. In this paper we take a look at how the pandemic affected the economies of the Western Balkan countries, and the scale of the economic downturn they will face in 2020. We will also analyze how effective the public sector, the medical system, and education have been in the fight against the consequences of the pandemic.
Тhis paper considers the phenomenon of global growth, emphasizing the slowdown and (limits) of the Western GDP growth. By comparing the United States as the most mature economy in the world, China as the new hegemon, the OECD countries, the BRICS countries, and the rest of the world, we show the growth and unequal development of the five "regional futures" of the global world. In addition to the imminent economic reasons for the backwardness of Western economies and societies, the crisis of the structure and functioning of the democratic capitalist system, and the ecological limits of sustainability, we emphasize two non-economic moments: the end of liberalism as a fundamental ideology of the Western world, and the loss of trust, which is a fundamental moral category. According to futurist forecasts, the West has slowed down, the financial system has been damaged, and the recovery is slow and uncertain. The following subjects are being considered: the growth paradigm, the belief in lasting progress, the end of liberalism and the loss of confidence, the recovery of Western economies, some monetary policy measures, and European fiduciary money and the slowdown of the growth in the Eurozone. The monetary economy of the euro as an agreed single currency has caused strong changes in the Eurozone and has "trapped" the European Union. The euro economy, among other things, is responsible for the sharp division of the Eurozone member states into surplus and deficit countries, and the Eurozone crisis, stagnation, and slowdown in economic (non-economic) growth. ; U ovom radu razmatramo fenomen rasta na globalnom nivou, apostrofirajući usporavanje i (granice) rasta BDP Zapada. Komparacijom SAD kao najzrelije ekonomije na svijetu, Kine kao novog hegemona, zemalja OECD-a, zatim zemalja BRICS-a, te ostatka svijeta, predočava se rast i nejednaki razvoj pet ,,regionalnih budućnosti," globalnog svijeta. Pored imanentnih ekonomskih razloga zaostajanja zapadnih ekonomija i društava, krize strukture i funkcionisanja demokratskog kapitalističkog sistema, i ekološke granice održivosti, ističemo i dva neekonomska momenta, kraj liberalizma kao fundamentalne ideologije zapadnog svijeta i gubitak povjerenja kao temeljne moralne kategorije. Prema prognozama futurista, Zapad je posustao, finansijski sistem je oštećen, oporavak je spor i neizvjestan. Predmet razmatranja su: paradigma rasta, vjera u trajni napredak, kraj liberalizma i gubitak povjerenja, oporavak zapadnih ekonomija, neke mjere monetarne politike, te Evropski prekarni novac i usporavanje rasta evrozone. Monetarna ekonomija evra kao dogovorene jedinstvene valute izazvala je snažne promjene u evrozoni i Evropskoj uniji uhvaćenoj u ,,zamku." Ekonomija evra, između ostalog, odgovorna je za oštru podjelu zemalja članica evrozone na zemlje suficita i zemlje deficita, te krizu evrozone, stagnaciju i usporavanja ekonomskog (neekonomskog) rasta.
More than one decade Serbia has been passing through the process of market reforms. Establishing of market economy institution had to allow the country one stabile economic development in the light of EU accession. That is, by the way, the same strategy of the most countries of Western Balkan. Actual economic crisis showed the other side of the result of previous changes, and of the realized growth and development. That were the consequences on macro economic and financial instability and structure of the economy. Many circumstances showed that in the Serbian real and normative economic system there were numerous controversies stopping or slowing EU accession and basic re forms process. European economic system is based on institutions. In spite of many bureaucratic obstacles of this system institutions are the main guarantee of the system surviving. The institutions in Serbia were not established in desirable way. The government, the parliament and courts are continually in conflicts, based on formalization of institutions. Regulatory bodies are very week and under pressure of parties power control, as well as corruption and institution formalizing. All those facts have negative influence on the process of EU accession and market reforms. Serbia need to accept lawful state and institution strengthening in order to catch a connection for advanced economies in reform. Most important conditions are not only better laws, but better education. .
Väitöskirjan tavoitteena on selvittää valtiontukisääntelyn ja sen tulkinnan yhteyttä EU:n politiikkaan sekä käytettyihin taloudellisiin ajattelutapoihin. Politiikan lisäksi väitöskirjassa tarkastellaan erityisesti tukikilpailuun liittyvän taloustieteellisen keskustelun vaikutusta valtiontukisääntelyyn. Lisäksi tavoitteena on selvittää, miten tavoitteet tosiasiassa ohjaavat valtiontukisääntelyn kehitystä ja miten nämä tavoitteet mahdollisesti kehittävät valtiontukisääntelyä tulevaisuudessa. Valtiontukipolitiikkaa harjoitetaan pääasiassa SEUT 170(3)(c) -artiklan nojalla. Artikla on poikkeus SEUT 107(1) -artiklan sisältämään laajaan valtiontukikieltoon. SEUT 107(3)(c) -artikla mahdollistaa sellaisten tukien myöntämisen, jotka tuottavat enemmän yhteistä etua kuin haittaavat kilpailua sisämarkkinoilla. EU:n tuomioistuin on vahvistanut, että Euroopan komissiolla on laaja harkintavalta arvioidessa, mitkä tuet täyttävät tämän artiklan edellytykset. Komissio onkin toteuttanut valtiontukipolitiikkaa pitkälti tämän artiklan soveltamisella. Väitöskirjassa on kolme tutkimuskysymystä. Ensimmäinen tutkimuskysymys on "Mitkä ovat olleet merkittävimmät valtiontukisääntelyyn vaikuttavat taustaolettamat ja tavoitteet?" Tutkimuskysymykseen vastataan tutkimuksen luvuissa 2, 3 ja 4, joissa käsitellään valtiontukisääntelyn taustalla vaikuttanutta politiikkaa, sääntelyn historiallista kehitystä sekä tukikilpailuun liittyvää tutkimusta. Merkittävin valtiontukisääntelyn tavoite on ollut estää jäsenvaltioiden välistä tukikilpailua, jonka on katsottu haittaavan kaikkia jäsenvaltioita. Taustaolettamana on ollut, että tukikilpailussa kaikki sisämarkkinoilla toimivat jäsenvaltiot häviävät, ja jos valtiontukipolitiikkaa ei säännellä, jäsenvaltiot tukevat yrityksiään, mikä johtaa tukikilpailuun. Toiseksi tavoitteeksi tukikilpailun estämisen rinnalle on 2000-luvun taitteessa noussut tavoite poistaa markkinahäiriöitä valtiontuilla. Näitä markkinahäiriötä ovat olleet mm. kasvihuonekaasupäästöihin liittyvät ulkoisvaikutukset ja finanssikriisi. 2010-luvulla valtiontukisääntelyn tavoitteena on ollut myös lisätä talouskasvua ja parantaa ympäristön tilaa. Näiden lisäksi valtiontukisääntelyä ja komission julkaisuja tarkastelemalla voidaan havaita yksi EU:n toimivaltaan kuulumaton valtiontukisääntelyn tavoite: jäsenvaltioiden varojen säästäminen. Toinen tutkimuskysymys on "Miten nämä [tavoitteet ja taustaolettamat] ovat historian saatossa näkyneet valtiontukisääntelyssä ja komission toiminnassa?". Tutkimuskysymykseen vastataan luvuissa 1.5, 3 ja 4, joissa käsitellään valtiontukisääntelyn historiaa osana EU:n historiaa sekä nykyisen sääntelyn tavoitteita ja muutoksia. Historiallisesti tukikilpailun estäminen on ollut voimakkaimmin näkyvä tavoite, sillä valtiontukipolitiikka ja sääntelyn tulkinta ovat kiristyneet koko EU:n historian ajan, ja Unionin tuomioistuin on katsonut yhä useampia tukia kielletyksi valtiontueksi. Myös komissio on jatkuvasti kiristänyt linjaansa katsoen yhä useampia tukia sisämarkkinoille soveltumattomaksi valtiontueksi. Viimeisin merkittävä kehitys on ollut erilaisiin verotukiin puuttuminen 2010-luvulla. Tämän lisäksi myös tavoitteet markkinahäiriön poistamisesta ja talouskasvun lisäämisestä ovat näkyneet sääntelyssä. Markkinahäiriön poistamisen nojalla komissio on sallinut valtavasti ympäristö- ja erityisesti energiatukia. Nämä tuet ovat nykyään suurin tukiryhmä EU:ssa. Talouskasvua taas on pyritty lisäämään sallimalla yhä useampien erilaisten talouskasvulle hyväksi katsottujen tukien myöntäminen, osittain jopa luopuen tavoitteesta estää tukikilpailua. Kolmas tutkimuskysymys on "Miten nykyiset ympäristö- ja energiatuet sopivat tähän kehitykseen ja voidaanko tukipolitiikan katsoa muuttuneen näiden vuoksi?". Tutkimustulosten perusteella ympäristö- ja energiatukiin liittyvä komission sääntely on pyrkinyt lisäämään näitä tukia. Tuet sopivat teoriassa hyvin valtiontukien systematiikkaan, koska sallitut tuet eivät vääristä kilpailua voimakkaasti, mutta ne lisäävät yhteistä etua ja samalla säästävät jäsenvaltioiden varoja turhalta tukemiselta. Tämä perustuu tosin pitkälti komission asettamaan teoreettiseen viitekehykseen ja ennalta määrättyihin päätöksentekosääntöihin ilman empiiristä tarkastelua. Loppulauseena voidaankin todeta, että valtiontukipolitiikka perustuu pitkälti ajatukseen, että jäsenvaltiot tukevat yrityksiään, jos se vain sallitaan. EU-tasolla tapahtuvien päätösten rahankäytöstä katsotaan olevan järkevämpiä kuin jäsenvaltioiden tasolla tapahtuvien päätösten. Tämän vuoksi valtiontukipolitiikka on perustunut siihen, että yhteisen hyvän mukaiset tuet sallitaan, ja jäsenvaltiot tukevat halutessaan. Tähän mennessä politiikka on ollut tehokasta, koska jäsenvaltiot käyttävät merkittävästi varoja sellaisten kohteiden tukemiseen, jotka on erikseen sallittu SEUT 107(3)(c) -artiklan nojalla. ; The goal of this thesis was to find out how state aid regulation and interpretation of the regulation are connected to EU policies and economic theories used to form said policies. In addition to studying the policies, the effects of economic theory related to subsidy competition is studied. The goal of this thesis is to find out how these policy goals affect state aid regulation and how these goals will affect state aid regulation in the future. The state aid policy is mostly based on TFEU article 107(3)(c). The article contains an exception to the broad state aid prohibition in TFEU article 107(1). TFEU article 107(3)(c) enables granting aids that facilitate economic development and common good more than it adversely affects trading conditions within the internal market. CJEU has stated that the European Commission has broad discretion when evaluating which aids meet the criteria set in TFEY article 107(3)(c). The commission has used this article to execute state aid policy in the EU. The thesis contains three research questions. The first research question is "What are the most significant presumptions and goals affecting state aid regulation?". This research question is answered in chapters 2, 3 and 4, which study the policies behind state aid regulation, the historical development of state aid regulation and the research related to the subsidy competition. The most significant goal for state aid regulation has been to prevent subsidy competition between member states, which has been seen to harm all member states. The presumption behind state aid regulation has been that in subsidy competition everybody loses, and that if national state aid policies are left unregulated, all member states will subsidy their companies, which will lead to subsidy competition. In the 2000s, another goal of the state aid regulation has been to use the state aids to prevent market failures. Market failures referred to in this goal are e.g. externalities related to greenhouse gases and financial crisis. In addition to these goals, one other goal of state aid regulation in the 2010s has been promoting economic growth and improving the environment. Additionally, one other state aid policy goal that is not within the EU jurisdiction can be derived from state aid regulation and the commission's publications: saving member states' public funds. The second research question is "How these [goals and presumptions] have affected state aid regulation and the commission's actions in history". This research question is answered in chapters 1.5, 3, and 4, which study state aid history within the EU history and the current regulation's goals, as well as changes in current legislation. Historically, the most significant goal has been preventing subsidy competition; the state aid policy and the interpretation of the regulation have become more and more strict during the whole history of the EU. In addition to this, CJEU has deemed more and more aids incompatible with the internal market. The commission has continuously tightened its decisions and deemed more and more aids incompatible with the internal market, the last significant change being the state aid decisions regarding different tax measures in the 2010s. In addition to this, goals to remove market failure and to promote growth have influenced the regulation and its interpretation. In order to remove market failures, the commission has allowed significant subsidy programs for environment and renewable energy. These subsidies are currently the largest subsidy group in the EU. Economic growth has been promoted by allowing more and more different aids that are seen beneficial to growth, even partially abandoning the goal to prevent subsidy competition. The third research question is "How are the current environmental and energy aids suited for this development and is the subsidy policy changed due to this development". Results show that the commission regulation related to environmental and energy aids is designed to increase the amount of these aids. These aids are theoretically aligned with the state aid system, because the allowed aids do not significantly disturb competition, but they promote common good and simultaneously save public funds from useless subsiding. This conclusion is mostly based on theoretical framework and predetermined decision-making rules without any empirical evaluation. As a conclusion, it can be stated that the state aid policy is mostly based on the idea that member states will grant aids if it is allowed. Additionally, it is also based on the idea that the financial decision-making is better on the EU level than on the national level. In result, the basis of the state aid policy has been that aids beneficial to common good are allowed, and it is up to the member states to grant the aids if they want to. This policy has been effective because member states have been using significant amounts of funding to the goals allowed in TFEU article 107(3)(c).
Sistem nacionalnih računa (SNR) nastao je i više puta unapreĎivan na meĎunarodnom nivou sa ciljem da omogući, izmeĎu ostalog, što potpuniju osnovu za analizu ekonomske politike. Polazeći od činjenice da će se u Srbiji nakon pribliţavanja standardima Evropske unije izraĎivati celokupan SNR, što trenutno nije slučaj, i od teze holandskog autora Bosa da će vlade sve manje koristiti SNR, u radu je ispitano koju ulogu nacionalni računi trenutno imaju u analizi ekonomske politike. Cilj istraţivanja je bio da se utvrde načini unapreĎenja upotrebe nacionalnih računa u Srbiji nakon njegove dopune, po oblastima upotrebe. Korišćenjem postojećih podataka, intervjua i kvantitativne analize, to jest ekonometrijske analize vremenskih serija, utvrĎeno je da se u tri oblasti upotrebe SNR, analizi putem indikatora, analizi tokova sredstava i makroekonometrijskom modeliranju, moţe ostvariti napredak već i sada, a posebno nakon dopune statističke produkcije. Posebno je vaţno da će biti moguće unaprediti makroekonometrijsko modeliranje u Srbiji, što je pokazano na primeru funkcije potrošnje. Komparativna analiza imovinskog efekta u Srbiji, Sloveniji, Češkoj i Holandiji pokazala je da varijabla stambene imovine nije značajna u funkciji potrošnje u Srbiji jer ne dominiraju hipoteke u svojinskoj strukturi stambenog fonda i nema finansijskih inovacija kao u razvijenim zemljama. SNR i njegovo stalno unapreĎivanje je potreban ali ne i dovoljan uslov dobre ekonomske politike. SNRje bio dovoljno razvijen za analizu za potrebe voĎenja ekonomske politike u sprečavanju neravnoteţa koje su u poslednjoj krizi imale udela, ali je tek analiza podataka nacionalnih računa eks-post omogućila unapreĎenje analize putem indikatora i standarda na osnovu kojih se mogu sprečiti neki budući mehurovi i neravnoteţe. ; The System of National Accounts (SNA) was designed and has been improved several times on the international level with the aim to provide the best possible complete basis for the economic policy analysis. Starting from the fact that after the transition to the standards of the European Union in Serbia the whole system of national accounts will be compiled, which currently is not the case, and from the thesis of the Dutch author Bos that SNA will be less used by the governments, in this dissertation the current role of the SNA in economic policy analysis has been analyzed. The aim of the research was to establish the ways of improvement in different areas of the use of SNA in Serbia, after its completion. By using the existing data, interview and quantitative i.e. econometric analysis of the time series, it has been concluded that in three areas of the use of SNA - indicator analysis, flow of funds analysis and macroeconometric modeling, the improvement is possible even now, and especially after the completion of statistical production. It is especially important that it will be possible to improve the macroeconomic modeling in Serbia, which has been shown on the example of consumption function. The comparative analysis of the wealth effect in Serbia, Slovenia, Czech Republic and the Netherlands has shown that the housing wealth variable is not significant in consumption function in Serbia, because mortgages are not dominant in the ownership structure of the housing wealth, and there are no financial innovations present, as it is the case in the developed countries. The SNA and its constant improvement is a necessary but not sufficient condition for a good economic policy. The SNA has been developed enough for the economic policy analysis to prevent imbalances which took part in the last crisis, but only the ex post analysis of the SNA data has enabled improvement of the indicator analysis and standards as the basis which may prevent future bubbles and imbalances.
