Developments in the formation and functioning of the Bulgarian clusters are in its initial phase. Strongly supported by the state these business units increased rapidly in number. However, such issues arise as: “How clusters should be actually working in our economy?”, “In which sectors should be exercised influence in the direction of support clusters?” “Really bunches of companies are suitable model a competitive economy?” etc. The answers to these and other issues related to cluster will be received in the future. The fact is that in world practice, such entities are carried out, realized and will likely give very good economic and social outcomes, leading included enterprises and regions in which they operate, to economic prosperity. This project is a continuation of several previous studies concerning clusters on one side and tourism on the other. It comes to meet the scientific “intersection” of two research teams – those from the Departments of Industrial Business and Entrepreneurship and Commercial Business. Data collected by the project indicate many diverse processes in the field of clustering in the most attractive economic sectors in Bulgaria - tourism. They promise “interesting times” for those in clusters and for the policy-makers.

The realization of the instrumentation of technical analysis has been applied intensely in the field on the one hand and has suffered a relatively vague realization in Bulgarian academia on the other. This research paper focuses on the fundamental techniques of quantitative analysis that make possible the forecast of fluctuations in foreign currencies quotations. The former relates to the main purpose of the current paper – to analyze the fluctuations in the market trend on the currency market and to reveal the potential of this specific approach to optimize the speculative decisions market players make. In order to achieve this purpose the following issues need to be resolved: systematization and characterization of the fundamental theoretical concepts on which contemporary analytical techniques are based; quantitative analysis of the market trend involving calculated indicators which include the basic price prerequisites.

  BUSINESS CYCLE SYNCHRONIZATION OF THE EUROPEAN UNION MEMBER-STATES: A STUDY OF THE ECONOMIC CONVERGENCE WITHIN THE EU

  The aim of this paper is to investigate the level of business cycle synchronization of the EU member states.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the level of business cycle synchronization of the EU member states. Three macroeconomic indicators within EU members are studied – GDP, unemployment and inflation. The methodology of the study is based on two parallel econometric techniques – Baxter-King and Hodrick-Prescott filters. Different levels of synchronization are distinguished within the estimated indicators – high s synchronization of GDP, moderate of unemployment and low synchronization of inflation. Different levels of synchronization are identified between the old and new members of the EU.
