Impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on the economic development of Ukraine and Latvia
2021
The COVID-19 pandemic that has swept the world has created a number of diverse threats to the development of the countries’ economies, including Ukraine and Latvia. An adequate assessment of these threats is very difficult and, moreover, often has a probabilistic character due to their singularity and novelty. The COVID-19 crisis mainly affected the tertiary sector, in particular companies involved in tourism, international passenger transport, accommodation, catering, entertainment, and cultural events, where demand fell sharply, and jobs fell. They were also followed by a contraction in demand in the manufacturing and transport sectors, which were mainly oriented towards external demand a…
PRICE CONVERGENCE IN THE EUROPEAN CAR MARKET
2008
International audience; This paper examines price convergence in the European Union car market over the period 1995-2005. We find that there is a clear evidence of price convergence among the EU15 countries, but not before 1999. Moreover, countries of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) started convergence previously to the EU15 as a whole. Finally, exchange rate changes have significantly contributed to price dispersion over time across countries. The results provide significant evidence that trade liberalization and the EMU have enhanced the process of regional integration in the European automobile industry, even though there is room for further measures to promote integration.
Forecasting container transshipment in Germany
2009
International audience; In this paper, we examine container transshipment at German ports using the seasonal ARIMA (SARIMA) model and the Holt-Winters exponential smoothing approach. Our models are designed especially to take account of the seasonal behavior of the quarterly data used. We consider the dynamic development in this sector for the whole container throughput and also the destinations Asia, Europe and North America, which are the world's three main economic regions. Our data runs from the first quarter of 1989 to the fourth quarter of 2006. We provide detailed quarterly forecasts for the year 2007 and 2008. According to forecasting error measures such as Mean Square Error and The…
Reti, Nuovi Settori e Sostenibilità
2014
Negli ultimi anni, anche a seguito del perdurare della crisi economica, gli studiosi delle diverse discipline, ivi compresi gli scienziati regionali, si sono interrogati su come riconnettersi a un sentiero virtuoso di crescita economica e sociale ai diversi livelli territoriali. Non vi è dubbio che la crisi abbia stimolato, in molti ambiti, la scoperta di nuovi paradigmi o la rivalutazione di schemi concettuali che stentavano ad affermarsi. Partendo da tale premessa, l’oggetto di questo volume è proprio quello di riflettere su come alcuni di questi nuovi paradigmi (in tema di reti, nuovi settori, sostenibilità) abbiano orientato l’indagine empirica territoriale e di raccogliere ed evidenzia…
