  COMPARATIVE ANALISYS OF THE BULGARIAN AND ROMANIAN EXTERNAL SECTORS

  Being an area of free movement of “people, goods and capital”, EU gives both Bulgaria and Romania opportunities to improve their access to markets, as well as to attract more foreign direct and portfolio investments.

Being an area of free movement of “people, goods and capital”, EU gives both Bulgaria and Romania opportunities to improve their access to markets, as well as to attract more foreign direct and portfolio investments. The global economic crisis, that began two years after the two countries’ full EU accession, is likely to discontinue these advantages and to pose serious hardships to the ability of their economies to function in a crisis and reduced cash flows. The project “Comparative analisys of the Bulgarian and Romanian external sectors” is focused on studying the trends in the balance of payment of the two countries and its components in the light of Euro membership and under the conditions of an economic crisis. Its scope includes the key specifics of trade and capital flows as well as the correlations between them. The views on balancing the external sector are generalized and tools are identified to assess the trends in the balance of payment.

  VOLATILITY OF CORRELATIONS BETWEEN MACROECONOMIC INDICATORS IN THE SYSTEM OF NATIONAL ACCOUNTS (2000-2011)

  This study aims to prove that not only macro indicators, but also the correlations between them should be used as main macroeconomic indicators since being relative quantities they have richer content and create more favourable opportunities for using them in the macroeconomic analysis, modeling and forecasting of socio-economic phenomena and ... This study aims to prove that not only macro indicators, but also the correlations between them should be used as main macroeconomic indicators since being relative quantities they have richer content and create more favourable opportunities for using them in the macroeconomic analysis, modeling and forecasting of socio-economic phenomena and processes. The main purpose of this study is to examine the correlations between macroeconomic indicators which are associated with drops, recovery, upsurge and peaks of economic development. In this context, the object of the study is focused on the volatility of these correlations in the period 2000-2011, and its impact on the country’s economic development. The results prove our thesis and indicate more intense volatility, which is caused by the world economical crisis.

  MANAGING PROJECTS FOR ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION FROM RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES

  The main purpose of the present study is to identify possibilities for improving the management of renewable energy projects in Bulgaria. This goal is achieved by completing the following tasks – reviewing the characteristics of renewable energy project management as a factor of ecologically-oriented company policies; outlining the possibilities ... The main purpose of the present study is to identify possibilities for improving the management of renewable energy projects in Bulgaria. This goal is achieved by completing the following tasks – reviewing the characteristics of renewable energy project management as a factor of ecologically-oriented company policies; outlining the possibilities for improving management mechanisms of such projects within companies. The object of study is the renewable energy projects carried out in Bulgaria and in particular the possibilities for effective company management of photovoltaic parks. Special attention is paid to the possibilities for overcoming setbacks in the management of such projects regardless of the causes that have led to them. The study proposes a flexible model for managing renewable energy projects (photovoltaic parks) by companies as a way of implementing ecologically-oriented practices.
