  RESEARCH OF THE ATTITUDE TOWARDS ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND THE ATTITUDE TO START OWN BUSINESS OF THE STUDENTS FROM D. A. TSENOV ACADEMY OF ECONOMICS (SVISHTOV), UNWE (SOFIA) AND UE (VARNA)

  The aim of the study is based on the results of an empirical study to establish the contemporary dimensions of entrepreneurial behaviour of students studying at Tsenov Academy of Economics (Svishtov), UNWE (Sofia) and UE (Varna), on the basis of which to identify obstacles and opportunities to stimulate entrepreneurial behaviour of young people in ... The aim of the study is based on the results of an empirical study to establish the contemporary dimensions of entrepreneurial behaviour of students studying at Tsenov Academy of Economics (Svishtov), UNWE (Sofia) and UE (Varna), on the basis of which to identify obstacles and opportunities to stimulate entrepreneurial behaviour of young people in Bulgaria. To achieve this goal, several tasks are formulated: First. Survey of the opinion of the students from Tsenov Academy of Economics (Svishtov), UNWE (Sofia) and UE (Varna). Second. Establishing the main parameters of entrepreneurial intentions and behaviour of students from the three universities. Third. Identification of obstacles and opportunities for increasing the entrepreneurial activity of young people. The main research thesis, which is defended, is by identifying the parameters of entrepreneurial intentions and behaviour of students, as well as their educational and qualification characteristics, to assist in increasing the correspondence between available and necessary entrepreneurial knowledge and to create opportunities for the formation of an educational environment aimed at stimulating the entrepreneurial activity of young people. Based on the research, the following main results have been achieved: the opinion of the respondents has been studied, the parameters of the entrepreneurial intentions and behaviour of the students have been established, the obstacles and opportunities for increasing the entrepreneurial activity of the students have been identified.

  OPPORTUNITIES FOR OPTIMIZING THE REGIME OF PAYMENTS FROM THE STATUTORY PENSION INSURANCE FOR DISABILITY IN BULGARIA

  An attempt has been made to argue the thesis that in the conditions of an unfolding system of social payments and coordinated institutional interaction within the framework of social protection, there is a need to rethink the social philosophy of disability benefits provided by the statutory pension insurance. The study of opportunities for ... An attempt has been made to argue the thesis that in the conditions of an unfolding system of social payments and coordinated institutional interaction within the framework of social protection, there is a need to rethink the social philosophy of disability benefits provided by the statutory pension insurance. The study of opportunities for development of the organizational framework of public pensions for labour activity in case of disability, in the context of the systemic nature of social payments in Bulgaria, is also the main aim of the research, in the connection with which the following specific tasks are set: study of the theoretical and methodological aspects of social security and social protection systems in modern society; study of the practical and applied aspects of social security and social protection systems in modern society; study of the specifics of disability protection in the context of risk differentiation of social protection systems; study of the national identity and the social insurance profile of the disability protection in Bulgaria and assessment of the need and opportunities for development of the organizational framework of payments from the statutory pension insurance for disability in Bulgaria. The results of the research enable to outline guidelines for optimizing the organizational framework of payments from the statutory pension insurance for disability in Bulgaria with the potential to increase the level of pensions within the available resources.

This study systematizes the theoretical foundations of mathematical modeling of consumer behavior in the choice process in the context of random utility theory. The main attention is paid to some aspects of econometric estimation of discrete choice models. The main thesis is that based on the theory of random utility, you can create tools for predictive analytics of demand. The aim of the study is to develop a transpar-ent and traceable analytical methodology for analyzing empirical data from stated preferences, providing opportunities for evaluating, analyzing and predicting consumer choice. To achieve this goal, a brief synopsis of the discrete choice theory was made, as well as a review of methods for evaluating and analyzing traditional econometric mod-els with discrete dependent variables. Particular attention is drawn to the problems in specifying adequate binary and multinomial regression models, which are the core of analytical tools, and whose evaluation and verification is feasible with the help of open source software. Systematizing achievements in the field, recommendations are given for using predictive models for solving marketing problems. Methods for predictive analytics of consumer choice are proposed, including output of aggregated forecast estimates, building of market simulators for predictive modeling of market share, as-sessment of willingness-to-pay and price elasticity at the level of product alternatives.
