<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> We ask how reform of migration law intended to increase the selectivity of migration (the so-called integration agreement regulation in 2003) in Austria impacted on the education structure of migrants to Austria. To identify the effects of this reform, we use the fact that it applied only to migrants from third countries and not those from EEA-countries.We find no compelling evidence that this regulation improved the education structure of migrants to Austria. Our interpretation of this is that the implicit positive impact of the reforms on the education structure of migrants was countervailed by the increased restrictiveness of the migration regime overall, or that other developments in the migration regime were more important for changes in education structure in the time period considered.</abstract>

The Impact of Migration Policy on Migrants’ Education Structure: Evidence from Austrian Policy Reform

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> We analyze the influence of newly constructed globalization measures on regional growth for the EU-27 countries between 2001 and 2006. The spatial Chow-Lin procedure, a method constructed by the authors, was used to construct, on a NUTS-2 level, complete regional data for exports, imports and FDI inward stocks, which serve as indicators for the influence of globalization, integration and technology transfers on European regions. The results suggest that most regions have significantly benefited from globalization measured by increasing trade openness and FDI. In a non-linear growth convergence model, the growth elasticities for globalization and technology transfers decrease with increasing GDP per capita. Furthermore, the estimated elasticity for FDI decreases when the model includes a higher human capital premium for CEE countries and a small significant growth enhancing effect accrues from the structural funds expenditures in the EU.</abstract>

Does Globalization Affect Regional Growth? Evidence for Nuts-2 Regions in EU-27

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Every society must pay the “price of democracy” and in this price are “calculated” the rising number of crimes and the change in their quality, and also the unique alterations of corruption, among other things. The fight against economic-political corruption is a risky question, because the hunters and the hunted, those who conduct and those who undergo impeachment, are often members of the same political elite. It is in the interest of tax-payers that public funds should not become cash bribes, and furthermore that the rule of corruption should not grow dominant in even a single sphere. If we consider the moral weakness of politicians as the genesis of economic and political corruption, then the appropriate anti-corruption strategy would be the right combination of penalty policy and payment policy.</abstract>

The Never-Ending Fight: Economic and Political Corruption in Hungary

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> The aim of this work is to evaluate the effective corporate tax rate in the Moravian-Silesian Region in the Czech Republic on the basis of a backward-looking micro view. The results obtained are then compared with other methods of measuring the tax burden, especially with the corporate tax quota and effective corporate tax rate based on a backward-looking macro view and its components. The tax burden will be evaluated for the period 2007-2010 in order to capture the effects of the economic crisis. It is clear that the effective tax rate computed according to the backward-looking micro view and corporate tax quota confirms the results of a number of empirical studies because, in comparison to an effective marginal tax rate based on the macro view, they reflect fluctuations in business cycles.</abstract>
