The scholastic problem is reliability of Lithuanian insurance market. Lithuanian insurance market is sensitive to changes in the external environment; therefore this threatens the financial stability of the insurance market. Lithuanian insurance market is in stagnation period, this is confirmed by lower indexes of insurance development. In order to evaluate the position of the country's life and nonlife insurance market more accurately, it was expedient to evaluate the quantitative influence of the main economics and social factors. Therefore, calculations presented in the paper have been done on the basis of available statistical data – indirect indexes. The subject of the research is indexes of Lithuanian insurance market. The aim of the research is to analyse the processes of Lithuanian insurance market. Conclusions and results of the work are: the analysis of external environment helps estimate the main forces that insurance market cannot control but that have influence on financial indexes. The results showed that the main factors that have influence on growth of life insurance are inflation level and disturbance in international financial markets, and the main factors that have influence on growth of non-life insurance are decreasing demand of new cars, high number of damages, changing situation in the building market and elemental forces. The stagnation in Lithuanian insurance market is due to economic and social conditions that are disclosed by statistics indexes. The global economy experienced a slowdown and rising inflation, which was mainly caused by the rapid rise in food and energy prices. Course of events was related to international financial market crisis. The dramatic crisis in the international financial markets and its global repercussions are major challenges to the liberal economic system, demanding a rapid reaction from government and far-reaching efforts. Fluctuations in stock quotations have a direct impact on the profitability of insurance undertakings as well as the pension funds managed by life insurance undertakings that invest at least part of their funds in shares. The main economic factor is increasing unemployment that was influenced by the economic decline and by the rapid decrease in the number of job vacancies. Economic issues pointed up limited availability of wage restraint; therefore rising prices and falling purchasing power force residents to procure only indispensable commodities and services. The working capital turnover as well as slackened off settlements between business subjects impeded business conditions. Therefore these factors show that unfavourable situation in financial markets had a direct impact on the slowdown in the rate of growth of unit-linked life and nonlife insurance.

Straipsnio tikslas - nustatyti, kokia itaka demokratijos veikimo verti-nimui ir pasitikejimui parlamentu daro politiniai veiksniai - partines siste-mos fragmentacija, poliarizacija ir valdanciosios koalicijos dydis. Tyrime, apimanciame desimt Vidurio ir Rytu Europos saliu nuo 1991 iki 2011 m., ivertinamas ir dvieju ekonominiu veiksniu - ekonomikos augimo ir nedarbo lygio - poveikis politines paramos rodikliams. Stipriausias statistinis rysys nustatytas tarp nedarbo lygio ir pasitenkinimo demokratija: kuo daugiau ne-turinciuju darbo, tuo maziau teigiamai vertinanciuju demokratijos veikima. Taip pat paaiskejo, kad demokratijos veikimo vertinimui neigiamai atsiliepia mazas parlamentiniu partiju skaicius ir dideles valdanciosios koalicijos. Pasi-tikejimas parlamentu buvo mazesnis tais atvejais, kai ideologiniai skirtumai tarp parlamentiniu partiju buvo dideli, ir tuomet, kai ekonomika traukesi arba augo tik labai nedaug. Ketvirtoje straipsnio dalyje siekiama nustatyti, kodel dideles valdanciosios koalicijos veda prie mazesnio patenkintuju demokrati-ja procento. Cekijos ir Bulgarijos lyginamoji analize parode, kad didele val-dancioji koalicija apriboja parlamento politini vaidmeni, sudaro palankias salygas grieztai ir nepopuliariai ekonominei politikai vykdyti ir palieka di-dele rinkeju dali be priimtinu politiniu alternatyvu. Siu politinio gyvenimo reiskiniu visuma didina nepasitenkinima demokratijos veikimu The article examines the effect of parliamentary fragmentation, polarization and ruling coalition size on satisfaction with democracy and trust in parliament. Statistical analysis, encompassing 10 CEE countries from 1991 to 2011, is used to measure the impact of political factors, while the effect of economic growth and unemployment rate is also evaluated. The strongest finding suggests that there is a negative relation between unemployment rate and satisfaction with democracy. Furthermore, satisfaction with a political regime is undermined by a small number of parliamentary parties and large ruling coalitions. Trust in parliament tends to be lower when ideological differences among parliamentary parties are sizable, as well as at the times of economic recession or marginal growth. Fourth section of the article deals with the question of why large ruling coalitions lead to lower satisfaction with democracy. A comparative analysis of political realities in the Czech Republic and Bulgaria has shown that a large ruling coalition diminishes the political role of parliament, provides a strong ground for the implementation of a strict and unpopular economic policy and leads to the lack of viable political alternatives in the ranks of parliamentary opposition. The complex of these political phenomena contributes to the low satisfaction with democracy. Adapted from the source document.

The main purpose of this work is to analyses government regulation of economy, to survey its policy of regulation and to give assessment. In the first part, on the grounds of scientific economical theories and ideologies of political economy, advantages and disadvantages of government intervention into economy are analyzed, as well as preconditions for such regulation.

Economic (sometimes called "business") cycle research is one of the most popular topics of scientific literature discussions over the last years encompassing global economy long-term grow and recession starting from 2007. Such cycles can also be observed in banking activities – decreasing crediting volumes can be noticed in the majority of countries. However, the interaction between financial and business cycles is not fully revealed and differs in different countries. In the case of Lithuania credit volume and business activeness cyclic interaction can be also named as specific, reflected in gross domestic product (GDP) and credit volume fluctuations. Based on various economic cycle stages identification methodologies, not every single fluctuations can be assigned as an economic cycle stage: some of them are not identified as significant and are not recognised as economic cycles, the others match an economic cycle stage and time criterions and can be recognized as economic cycles. In the current situation, when global economy and the situation in Lithuania show recovery signs from recession to growth, credit market reacts respectively. Though the question of business and credit volume cycles is very actual, because knowing credit market dynamics indications and synchronization level between credit and economic cycles different financial stability implementation politics measures can be developed.

Theoretical and practical aspects of the measurement of export competitiveness are analyzed in this article. The relevance and timeliness of analysis of the concept of export competitiveness proves the fact that competition is a very important precondition, which affects the effectiveness of development of national economy under the conditions of globalization. The research of the concept of export competitiveness and the ways of improving competitiveness of national economy are especially relevant for the countries in the period of recovering from the outcomes of economic crisis of 2008 -2009. In the European Union, the worst influence of economics recession was brought on Baltic States – Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia economies. One of the most important factors, which could stimulate the development of national economy, is export. Its development is especially essential for small countries, which are too small to consume all the production made by these countries. Higher export competitiveness could help the country to overcome after-effects of economic recession and stimulate the development of the total national economy. Export is often associated with competitiveness of the country at the international level. While the academic understanding of international competitiveness of the country is still forming, the factors of international competitiveness are still being identified in scientific literature, export competitiveness can be measured in different ways: by analyzing one or several factors of the country's export, creating composite indices, analyzing factors and conditions which stimulate the international trade
