  MECHANISMS FOR REGULATION AND AUDIT OF EU FUNDS ABSORPTION

  Funding received from EU programmes is vital for the national economy as it helps solve crucial socio-economic problems. In some cases, the absorption of these funds is accompanied by attempts to commit fraud or violate existing regulations. In order to prevent these from happening, the process has to be subject to audit and regulation. Research ... Funding received from EU programmes is vital for the national economy as it helps solve crucial socio-economic problems. In some cases, the absorption of these funds is accompanied by attempts to commit fraud or violate existing regulations. In order to prevent these from happening, the process has to be subject to audit and regulation. Research on various mechanisms for regulation and audit of the absorption of EU funds demands that the overall organization of their management should be examined. The focus is on legal, accounting and audit problems on which sound financial management of funds is based.

  CONTEMPORARY ASPECTS OF INDUSTRIAL POLICY

The industrial policy in the European Union is developing both in the context of improving the regulations and in restructuring the sectors, especially that of industry in order to enhance competitiveness and to support investment and employment. The key question that the industrial policy raises is what has to be done to help businesses and industry to be competitive in a volatile, turbulent global market. The aim of this study is to analyze the industrial policy conducted so far in our country, and based on extensive theoretical and practical studies to derive reliable indicators for its monitoring and analysis. The objectives of the study are to generalize and systematize the theoretical formulations regarding what policy, policy levels, industry and industrial policy are, and to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the existing indicators of industrial policy assessment. The findings of the research are aimed at evaluating industrial policy and justifying its trends.

  PREDICTING DEMAND OF BUNDLED TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES USING DISCRETE CHOICE-BASED MODELS

  This study explores consumer choice of bundled telecommunications services and empirically investigates some new possibilities of menu-based choice models for explaining and predicting the share of preferences. It demonstrates how to use menu-based conjoint analysis, aggregate multinomial logit and hierarchical Bayes models in order to estimate ... This study explores consumer choice of bundled telecommunications services and empirically investigates some new possibilities of menu-based choice models for explaining and predicting the share of preferences. It demonstrates how to use menu-based conjoint analysis, aggregate multinomial logit and hierarchical Bayes models in order to estimate part-worth utilities of attributes and price levels of digital telecommunications services for home users. A spreadsheet-based analytical simulation model for predictive analysis of the demand structure for alternative scenarios is composed based on empirical estimates of preferences. Our research purpose is to offer and demonstrate opportunities for optimal planning of product bundles that match the actual and potential customers’ expectations and willingness to pay.
