  BIOFUELS IN BULGARIA - TRENDS AND CHALLENGES

  Biofuels play an important role in the world energy policy. The problem is whether biofuel production is reasoned and whether it is a product, offering the humanity an energy source which is ecologically pure and environmentally-friendly.

The problem is whether biofuel production is reasoned and whether it is a product, offering the humanity an energy source which is ecologically pure and environmentally-friendly. The exhaustion of fossil fuels and the change in climate require, on the one hand, adequate decisions to preserve the environment for the future generations. On the other hand, the deepening world economic crisis, worldwide famine, the shortage of food and food products and their rising prices make it necessary to manage and utilize waste, an enormous source of which are agriculture and waste products (domestic, commercial, industrial, institutional, etc.)

All processes and trends, that concern the different aspects of the new economy, the structural changes and the relations between them, are targets of the research work. The most important fields of that structural reform were sketched on the basis of the received findings.To occur obvious and positive change in the main macroeconomic indicators, towards their increase, in order to reach the European standards, the government bodies must focus their efforts exactly on these fields. As a result of the carried out investigations, combining study of a significant volume of specialized literature, analysis of broad size statistics information and conduct of empirical inquiry, it was confirmed that our a priori scientific thesis that structural economic changes are major approach to realize the post-industrial society as exhausted their potential for prosperity of the population and does not meet its very high standard in every respect: the environment, labor conditions, incomes, education, health, culture, etc.

  CONSUMER PREFERENCES ANALYSIS USING STATED CHOICE METHODS

  Choice behavior analysis of customers is a fundamental domain in marketing research. Unfortunately, regardless of the rich palette of methods for customer preferences analysis in the scientific literature, there is yet a lack of mature methodology for longitudinal analysis of discrete choice data. In this research we present and approbate an ... Choice behavior analysis of customers is a fundamental domain in marketing research. Unfortunately, regardless of the rich palette of methods for customer preferences analysis in the scientific literature, there is yet a lack of mature methodology for longitudinal analysis of discrete choice data. In this research we present and approbate an adequate methodology for longitudinal analysis of stated choice data and tracking in customer preferences structure, which is realized by combined application of methods for discrete choice analysis and methods for econometric analysis of panel data.
