BUSINESS CYCLE SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN ROMANIA AND THE EURO AREA. A FRESH LOOK IN VIEW OF THE RECENT CRISIS
2012
This paper examines the degree of business cycles synchronization between Romania and the Euro area, by using Germany as a benchmark for the area economic cycle. The period of the study is 2000 - 2011, with a special emphasis on the recent economic and financial crisis. Using the Hodrick-Prescott filter, we find important, but decreasing correlations in times of crisis in the level of GDP. Furthermore, the analysis by GDP components reveals that private consumption remains the least correlated with the Euro area, while foreign trade is highly correlated and its synchronization even increased during the recent crisis.
Competitiveness, Economic Freedom and Real Exchange Rate. Evidence from Romania
2006
In the new context of European Integration, Romania has to improve some important macroeconomic indicators, such as: competitiveness, economic freedom and real exchange rate for a sustainable economic growth. Many authors emphasize that competitiveness and economic freedom affects economic growth through stimulating investment and business environment. The equilibrium exchange rate is crucial as it directly influences external competitiveness, especially through export prices. For Romania, the competitiveness can be improved through the economic freedom growth and the real exchange rate appreciation. But this appreciation must be accompanied by a rise in productivity and in the quality of t…
NATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS - SCENARIOS FOR ROMANIA
2012
Competitiveness remains a continuous concern of nations in any stage of development, from factor based economy to innovation based economy. The present paper aims to emphasize the current level of national competitiveness of Romania, on one hand, and to identify possible ways to improve the current level by building scenarios in order to eliminate the uncertainty, on the other hand. The paper proposes four scenarios for increase GCI (growth competitiveness index) and four scenarios from pessimistic point of view (in these scenarios GCI will be decrease). In the near future, Romania must improve their pillars of national competitiveness and must increase their GDP per capita for transition p…
Politics and the ‘Ideology’ of Journalism in Romania: Results from Local Case Studies
2011
Abstract The paper approaches the ‘ideology’ of Romanian post-communist journalism as identified in local news media organisations. We focus on the practical philosophy of journalism, emphasizing elements such as autonomy, truth, objectivity; and the relationship of journalists and news organisations with political actors. Special attention is given to the interplay between this practical philosophy and the political and economic constraints influencing news media organisations in Romania. We approach this topic using in-depth interviews with journalists and editors from news media organisations in three Romanian cities. We argue that two different ‘ideologies’ of journalism as a profession…
Great Britain, British Jews and the international protection of Romanian Jews, 1900-1914 : a study of Jewish diplomacy and minority rights
2006
Matikainen tarkasteli väitöstyössään Romanian juutalaisten tilannetta kansainvälisen vähemmistöjen suojelun ja juutalaisten diplomatian kautta. Britannian juutalaiset olivat yksi tärkeimmistä Itä-Euroopan juutalaisten auttamiseksi toimineista läntisistä juutalaisyhteisöistä. Tutkimuksen kohteena olivat Britannian juutalaisten diplomatia ja Britannian hallituksen näkemykset liittyen Romanian juutalaisten asemaan vuosina 1900–1914. Matikainen selvitti myös politiikan taustalla olleita motiiveita, jotka liittyivät osittain käsityksiin kansainvälisestä vähemmistöjen suojelusta. Toisaalta asiaan vaikuttivat myös ajankohtaiset poliittiset kysymykset kuten siirtolaisuuteen liittyneet ongelmat ja B…
Study on the Reputation of the (MASS) Media in Romania
2021
Abstract Part of a bigger research project conducted by Media Reputation Lab (Media REP Lab) on the reputation of media in Europe, the study explores the reputation of media among informed population in Romania. A sample of 100 cases was involved in the online survey taking place in December 2019. The results provide a description of the country’s media reputation (media in general: radio, print, digital and television). For each one of these media, the valuation obtained by each of the reputational attributes (credibility, rigor, impartiality, willingness to rectify) by the informed population would be indicated. Moreover, insights on the knowledge and use, as well as on the reputation (ov…
European social model in making : European Commission reporting on Romania between 1999-2006
2007
The European Union is often described as being an economic giant but a political dwarf. True enough, the European project started with economics, but has gone a long way since the time that it was only about economy. In Europe, there are obviously many different types of social models and welfare regimes. In addition to national models and regimes, there is an ongoing process at the European level that can be characterised as a search for “European social model”. This process involves both the institutions of the European Union as well as the member states. Political (and economic) battle that is being waged concentrates on what “European social model” should look like and who gets to defin…

A romániai bánsági (bánáti) tolerancia és többnyelvűség a nyelvi ideológiák tükrében
2004
A trianoni békeszerződés által feldarabolt Bánság etnikailag talán legtarkább vidéke napjainkban a Romániához csatolt területeknek. Ezen a vidéken volt lehetőségem terepmunkát végezni három nyári tanulmányút keretében (1998–2000). A finn–magyar terepmunkacsoport érdeklődési köre több területre terjedt ki. Kutatási területünk a romániai Bánságon belül az Arad, Lippa és Temesvár alkotta háromszög volt. Engem nyelvészként természetszerűen a többnyelvűség kérdése érdekelt, magyarul beszélőkkel készítettem interjúkat. Elemzésemben elsősorban az interjúkban előforduló nyelvi ideológiákra összpontosítok, azaz arra, hogyan vélekednek a Bánságban az ott beszélt nyelvekről és a többnyelvűségről. peer…
Celebrating the royal liturgy within the national calendrical memory – The politics of festive time in the Romanian Kingdom, 1866–1947
2016
The paper analyzes the calendrical struggles over mastering symbolic time in Romanian modern history by scrutinizing the logic of constructing, deconstructing, and reconstructing a temporal order made up of political holidays celebrated within a festive calendar. It looks, first, at how the constitutional monarchic political order established in 1866 with the enthronement of Carol I as Ruling Prince of Romania developed a royal festive calendar pillared on the National Day of the 10th of May. By analyzing the making of the royal temporal order organized within a national festive calendar, three techniques of calendrical construction are identified and detailed: a) calendrical shifting, b) c…
