This paper aims to study and find out the problems in the production and markets for agricultural products in terms of genetically modified organisms and genetically modified foods. To achieve this aim the influencing factors, defined in the tasks, are identified. The scarcity of land as a resource, the global economic crisis, food security, global famine and some other factors make it necessary to create species sustainable to natural and climatic conditions, on the one hand. On the other hand, the insufficient information about how safe species are in terms of production, distribution and use of genetically modified organisms and foods requires state intervention. The agricultural sector is a strategic sector that requires the application of well-grounded economic measures by the government for seeking ways to control and eliminate potential negative consequences in terms of providing normal conditions for the existence of humans, plants and animals and protection of environment.

  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.
