V izbranem obdobju 2003–2012 smo s pomočjo nekaterih glavnih ekonomskih kazalnikov uspeli preučiti gospodarske razmere Slovenije in Hrvaške ter ugotovili, da se je po letu 2008 z začetkom finančne in gospodarske krize gospodarska aktivnost začela zmanjševati ter s tem vplivala na poslabšanje vseh ekonomskih kazalnikov. Stopnje gospodarske rasti so tako v letu 2012 bile negativne v obeh državah, prav tako se je v obeh državah zmanjšal pokazatelj gospodarske razvitosti, BDP na prebivalca po pariteti kupne moči, ki je v Sloveniji leta 2012 znašal 84 % povprečja EU-28, na Hrvaškem pa le 62 % evropskega povprečja. Po uradnih statističnih podatkih je nacionalna raven cen v letu 2012 v Sloveniji dosegla 82,9 % povprečja EU-28, medtem ko je na Hrvaškem dosegla 69,9 % evropskega povprečja. V empiričnem delu smo analizirali ravni cen 578 artiklov blaga in 91 storitev, najprej na nacionalni ravni med Slovenijo in Hrvaško, nato pa še med posameznima paroma mest Ljubljana-Zagreb in Maribor-Varaždin. Ugotovili smo naslednje:Raven cen opazovanega vzorca blaga in storitev je v Sloveniji za 13 % višja v primerjavi s Hrvaško. Raven cen opazovanega vzorca blaga in storitev je v Ljubljani za 15 % višja v primerjavi z Zagrebom. Raven cen opazovanega vzorca blaga in storitev je v Mariboru za 12 % višja v primerjavi z Varaždinom. Med Slovenijo in Hrvaško ter med posameznima paroma mest Ljubljana-Zagreb in Maribor-Varaždin obstaja sorazmerno visoka stopnja podobnosti drobnoprodajnih cen. Relativna kupna moč slovenskih plač je v primerjavi s hrvaškimi višja za dobro petino. ; Between the selected period 2003–2012 we were able to examine economic conditions of Slovenia and Croatia with the help of some of the major economic indicators and found out that after 2008 with the beginning of the financial and economic crisis, economic activity began to decline, thereby affecting the deterioration of economic indicators. In 2012 the economic growth rates were negative in both countries, as well as the indicator of economic development has been reduced. GDP per capita in purchasing power parity in Slovenia has reached 84 % of the EU-28 average and Croatia only 62 % of the European average. According to the official statistical data, the national price level in 2012 in Slovenia reached 82,9 % of the EU-28 average, while in Croatia it has reached 69,9 % of the European average. In the empirical part, we have analyzed the price levels of 578 goods and 91 services, at first on the national level between Slovenia and Croatia, and then by individual pairs of cities Ljubljana-Zagreb in Maribor-Varaždin. We have found out the following: The price level of the observed sample of goods and services is 13 % higher in Slovenia as compared to Croatia. The price level of the observed sample of goods and services is 15 % higher in Ljubljana as compared to Zagreb. The price level of the observed sample of goods and services is 12 % higher in Maribor as compared to Varaždin. Between Slovenia and Croatia, and between pairs of cities Ljubljana-Zagreb in Maribor-Varaždin, there is a relatively high degree of retail price similarity. Slovenian relative purchasing power of wages is higher by about one fifth in comparison with the Croatian.

Avtor v članku opredeli štiri faze razvoja prebivalstva v mestu Maribor. Hitri rasti števila prebivalstva v 60. letih 20. stoletja je sledila stagnacija v 80. letih in nato depopulacija v 90. letih in po letu 2000. V primerjavi z drugimi večjimi mesti v Sloveniji je bila depopulacija najbolj intenzivna prav v Mariboru (med letoma 1981 in 2008 se je število prebivalcev zmanjšalo za okoli 12 %). Naravni prirast je v mestu konstantno negativen vse od leta 1985 dalje, selitveni prirast pa je bil negativen med letoma 1992 in 2007. Maribor med večjimi slovenskimi mesti izkazuje tudi najbolj neugodno starostno sestavo prebivalstva z najvišjim deležem starega prebivalstva in najvišjim indeksom staranja, po zadnjem popisu prebivalstva pa zaostaja za drugimi mesti tudi po deležu prebivalstva z višje ali visoko šolsko izobrazbo, čeprav je drugo največje univerzitetno mesto v Sloveniji. Glede na ugotovljene demografske značilnosti se bo v naslednjih dveh desetletjih v mestu bistveno povečal delež prebivalstva v starosti nad 65 let, kar bo zahtevalo nove oblike organiziranja dejavnosti v mestu in prilagajanja starejši populaciji. ; Author identified four stages of demographic development in the city of Maribor (Slovenia). Population growth in the 1960s was followed by stagnation of population in the 1980s and depopulation in the 1990s and after 2000. In Maribor, compared with other major cities in Slovenia, depopulation have been more intensive (between 1981 and 2008, the population decreased by about 12 %). Natural growth is constantly negative from 1985 onwards, and net migration was negative between 1992 and 2007. Maribor is also showing the most unfavorable age structure of the population with the highest proportion of the elderly population and the highest aging index. Furthermore, according to the last census it lags behind other towns in the share of population with high school education, although it is the second largest university town in Slovenia. Considering the established demographic characteristics, and significant increase of the share of the population over 65 years in the next two decades, this will require new ways of organizing activities in the city and its adaption to the elderly population.
