The issue of the use of agricultural simulation models in teaching economics students is topical in terms of the need to reflect the current trends in the development of education and training. The different models of the economic policy implemented are discussed in the context of the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union. This paper aims to study and reveal the potential opportunities for economic simulations that can be implemented in teaching economics students. In order to achieve this aim the following tasks have to be performed: studying the theory to clarify the specifics and the concepts used in the simulation economic models; assessing the state of agriculture and the possibilities for implementing potential economic policy simulation models; studying the potential for using the simulation models in teaching economics students; identifying the problems (factors) that affect the sphere of simulations; an European policy regarding the economic models for implementing the Common Agricultural Policy in agriculture; making conclusions and suggestions for agricultural simulation models in teaching students of economics.

The aim of this study is to examine the market behaviour of industrial business organizations and its risk aspects and formulate ideas to successfully counteract the risks and adverse consequences of their occurrence. In this regard, the main tasks are: to examine and summarize the theoretical aspects of market behaviour of modern industrial business organizations; to systematize and analyze empirical data on its risk aspects and propose specific countermeasures. The thesis statement is that early identification and diagnosis of the risks of the market behaviour of the economic entities in industry, and the development of a policy for combating and limiting the negative consequences of their manifestation, are essential for achieving the company goals. As a result, the following were studied: the behaviour that the industrial business organizations demonstrate in the market, and the risks that accompany this type of company activities. Based on data from the empirical study it was found out that business organizations as a whole manage to demonstrate relatively adequate market behaviour. However, the adverse indications of the market environment and the many firm-wide difficulties raise a number of risks. In this context, ideas and recommendations are formulated for better (early) identification and diagnosis of the risks studied and for limiting and reducing the adverse effects of their occurrence.

The present study is based on the thesis statement that it is possible and necessary to develop successful business which takes care of preserving the environment in Bulgaria. With reference to this the objective of the present research is to study the problems of sustainable development in the country and in particular the prospects of doing sustainable business in the rural regions of Bulgaria. Three sub goals further expand the main objective of the study, namely: to analyze the problems of sustainable use of natural resources; to outline the main trends in the preservation of the environment and biodiversity; and to specify the models and forms of sustainable business development in the country. The specific tasks that the study completes are related to revealing the economic and social advantages of sustainable development, identifying the problems of sustainable use of natural resources in Bulgaria and coordinating the mutual efforts of business agents in the rural regions for achieving sustainable development. The results of the research are as follows: outlining approaches to sustainable use of natural resources within their capacity as a prerequisite of any long-term development by coordinating the political, economic and social systems; suggesting models for sustainable resource use on the basis of organic farming; highlighting the advantages of sustainable agriculture as an opportunity for reducing unemployment, migration processes and local economy development in the endangered regions of Bulgaria.
