  THE TOBIN TAX AND THE SPECULATIVE CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

  The purpose of this paper is to outline the Tobin Tax ability to solve certain problems related to the instability of financial markets, conditioned by speculative transactions. First proposed in the early 70’s of the 20th century, Tobin’s idea has re-tained its relevance and is still subject of attention both in academic circles and in terms of ... The purpose of this paper is to outline the Tobin Tax ability to solve certain problems related to the instability of financial markets, conditioned by speculative transactions. First proposed in the early 70’s of the 20th century, Tobin’s idea has re-tained its relevance and is still subject of attention both in academic circles and in terms of its practical implementation. Briefly reviewing the unsuccessful experience of Swe-den to introduce its own type of the Tobin Tax, the paper seeks the lessons learned through it and identifies the most significant obstacles and challenges before the finan-cial transactions taxation from financial, political and organizational point of view.

  TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROFITABILITY AND RISK PROFILE OF THE BANKING SECTOR IN OUR COUNTRY

  This paper discusses the impact of the financial crisis on the profitability and risk profile of the banking sector in our country.

This paper discusses the impact of the financial crisis on the profitability and risk profile of the banking sector in our country. The problem is studied at two levels – at a macroeconomic level (the banking system as a whole) and at a microeconomic level (particular banks). An indicator is derived for a complex binding of profit and risk (risk-weighted profitability), its dynamics is traced and the factors that influence it are outlined.

  NEOCLASSICAL AND INSTITUTIONAL SYNTHESIS OF HOUSEHOLDS

  The paper presents a study on households as subjects of economic relations in terms of the institutional and neoclassical synthesis. Households are considered a pri-mary component of the economic system, as well as objectively necessary and relatively autonomous economic entities.

The paper presents a study on households as subjects of economic relations in terms of the institutional and neoclassical synthesis. Households are considered a pri-mary component of the economic system, as well as objectively necessary and relatively autonomous economic entities. The neoclassical synthesis deals with two main charac¬teristics of both individuals and households – their rationalism and sovereignty – as key factors of their behaviour in a market economy. In response to the shortcomings of the neoclassical theory, the institutional approach focuses on the norms, rules and stereo¬types that govern human behaviour in real life. The analysis of households as functional socio-economic entities requires a combination of the concepts of neoclassical and in¬stitutional approaches.
