APPLICABLE ASPECTS OF ECONOMETRIC MODELING OF DYNAMIC RELATIONS
The paper is focused on the application of the statistical methods for the analysis of dynamic relationships. The relationships among the economic phenomena are realized not only in the distributions of the population, (static aspect) but also in the changes that have occurred into it with the time (dynamic aspect).

The paper is focused on the application of the statistical methods for the analysis of dynamic relationships. The relationships among the economic phenomena are realized not only in the distributions of the population, (static aspect) but also in the changes that have occurred into it with the time (dynamic aspect).
The thesis supported by the authors is that statistical methods used for the analysis of dynamic relationships are both modern and powerful instruments for the researchers that allow to discover new characteristics of the interdependence among economic phenomenon but at the same time, their application is accompanied with many conditions that have to be known and taken into account.
The goal of the paper is to systematize the statistical methods for analysis of relationships based on time series data, and to point out their abilities in the advancement and enhancement of the analysis of the economic phenomenon. In order to achieve this goal, we have solved the following tasks: a) to describe the cross-correlation analysis; b) to characterize the distributed lag models (aka transfer function models); c) to study the vector auto regression (VAR) models; d) to describe the cointegration as advanced statistical method for the analysis of non-stationary time series.
The established results cover the advanced features of the dynamic relationship models: the interdependence between two (or more) time series; exploration of single relationships and distributed influence; the representation of multidimensional dynamic relationship; the survey of both long-term equilibrium relation and short-term interaction between the variables induced by the deviations from equilibrium state.

As early as the second half of the twentieth century, it was already clear to all the scholars and researchers of the society and its inherent economy that the industrial economy was on the wane, and its place was gradually occupied by a new, post-industrial (information) economy.
The aim of the present paper is to highlight some aspects of the nature and characteristics of the information economy as à necessary intrinsic part of the information society and to identify the strategic and particular conditions for business investment in this new environment.
The problems to be solved in relation to the stated objective of the research are: to characterize the emerging information economy and its peculiarities; to outline the branch orientation of the foreign direct investments in the information economy; to highlight the motives that have the most significant impact on investment decisions in the post-industrial economy; to provide guidelines for adapting economic policy in line with the new realities.
The research thesis is that: the information economy changes the conditions for conducting business and also the behavior of enterprises, particularly transnational corporations, which necessitates the adaptation of the economic policy to the new realities.
The main results of the research can be summarized as follows: The theoretical foundations of the information society and economy have been clarified; The motives for direct foreign investment have been analyzed and the factors that are of major significance for FDI in the new conditions have been derived. On this basis, the relationship between the information economy and the opportunities for direct investment has been assessed; An analysis of FDI in the service sector has been made, with special attention paid to greenfield investments and mergers and acquisitions; Recommendations have been made to the economic policy so that it can be adapted to the new business and economic environment.

In the accounting legislation in the sphere of the public sector in our country conceptual amendments have been made, which has reflected on the overall organization of the accounting process in the budgetary organizations. However, these changes affect individual aspects of the budgetary organizations' accounting, which is why there is currently no entirely new framework for accountability of public sector enterprises.
This in turn is a prerequisite for insufficient clarity and, in certain cases, a contradiction in the accounting of specific business operations and processes in the budgetary enterprises.
The main purpose of this study is to examine the organization of current and periodic accounting in public sector enterprises.
The fundamental research thesis that is being defended is that the improvements in the organization of the current and periodic accounting of the activities of the public sector enterprises are a prerequisite for a true and fair presentation of their financial situation.
Proof of the presented thesis requires the fulfillment of the stated tasks: to clarify the significance of the process of convergence of the national accounting rules in the public sector with the international accounting legislation; to outline the main theoretical, methodological and practical problems; to offer reasoned opportunities for improving the current and periodic accounting and reporting process in order to better reflect business operations in the public sector enterprises.
As a result of the survey, problems, referred by the authors as main problems, have been outlined in relation with the accounting in these enterprises, and argued opportunities for improvement related to the Chart of Accounts of the budgetary organizations and the presentation of the information in the financial statements have been presented.
