<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Along with joining the EU and with the desire to be compatible with the European labor market, flexicurity begins to penetrate gradually the Romanian labor market, becoming a topical concept, an economic and social recovery tool. In the simplest possible way, flexicurity can be defined as the compromise between flexibility and work safety. The flexicurity principle was born as a solution to the European dilemma: how to increase the competitiveness of European enterprises in global competition without sacrificing the European social model.Although a gradual passage is attempted, the tradition of a profession inherited from one generation to another or a stable job still exists in the human resource mentality, but it no longer exists in the present society. The concept of flexicurity is relatively new, introduced in Europe in 2006, when the principles of flexicurity were developed, but they were implemented according to the economic specificity of each EU member state.The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects that EU accession has had on the Romanian labor market and the subsequent steps to harmonize Romania with the European Union requirements from the point of view of human resources management, flexicurity at the labor market.In Romania, the flexicurity balance is balanced, in the sense that the trade unions support a broader level of security, and the employers tend to a greater degree of flexibility.In conclusion, the Romanian labor market to develop a high degree of flexicurity must aim at increasing employment and reducing long-term unemployment, promoting workplace security and reducing the rigidity of labor law, especially in case of voluntary dissolution of firms, or of collective redundancies. In addition, the flexibility of collective and individual work contracts is also sought.</abstract>

In general gambling consumption is increasing every year, but the distribution of consumption has radically changed from Land Based gambling to Remote gambling. The purpose of this article is to present an overview of the world gambling industry and a specific overview in Austria, Croatia, Italy and Slovenia in order to find some main similarities and differences in observed period.Design/Methodology/Approach – The main research question is How important is gambling for the involved countries and what proportion of the national GDP does the gambling revenue account for? This paper presents the analysis of five statistical databases for the last sixteen years in order to find out some patterns, cyclical or seasonal features or other significant information that allows us to do forecasting of the future revenue with a certain degree of accuracy. We have systematically searched and collected data from the World Bank and the National Statistical Offices websites of the given countries. Statistical methods were used for benchmark analysis, while Box and Jenkins approach and ARIMA modelling were used for forecasting.Findings – The smallest increase was recorded in Slovenia and the largest in Italy. The same effects were also observed in the GDP of these countries. Thus, the state budgets of Croatia and Italy are increasingly dependent on gambling taxes. It also has negative wages. The gambling addictions among the locals have become more frequent as well.Originality of the research – The article shows the forecasts of the gambling revenue and its share in the GDP by 2027. We want to alert decision makers to adopt appropriate policies. States need to rethink their views on gambling and the excessive dependence of the state budget on gambling taxes. This is the first time a single comparative analysis of these countries and the above mentioned forecast has been conducted.</abstract>

How Important is Gambling in National GDP: Case Study from Austria, Croatia, Italy and Slovenia

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The paper is focused on specific location-allocation problem aimed to determine a set of scrap yards for vehicle decommissioning in Slovakia. The goal is to determine scrap yards network so that it is not prohibitive to pass old car for dismantling and further processing wherever former owner lives. Two approaches are considered. Once we consider the case when it is necessary to construct a completely new network of scrap yards, which results to setting of their minimum numbers and also their location. In the latter case, the already existing network of scrap yards is considered, while the model provides its extension, in order to achieve the desired values of accessibility for all residents. The results were applied to an existing network of scrap yards identifying locations to build new scrap yards. Areas where whole new network of scrap yards must be built were also identified.</abstract>

In order to improve accommodation infrastructure, particular addressing the problem of a large share of private accommodation in total infrastucture, it is proposed to transform these capacities indo condo model, diffused and integral hotels. Another major problem in tourism development in Montenegro is not an adequate structure of emissive markets, more precisely dominance of 2 markets. In order to improve emissive market infracture it is necessary to focus primarly on West European and Scandinavian market. Improving the situation of the mentioned problems would significaly affect the sustainable development of tourism in Montenegro.</abstract>

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The purpose of this paper is the estimation of a production function for retail stores in the Philippines. A generalized Cobb-Douglas production function is utilized for this purpose. Ordinary Least Squares is used in obtaining the coefficients for labor and capital. The results show that the marginal product of labor to be higher than the marginal product of capital and the hypothesis of constant returns to scale is not rejected.</abstract>

The study sourced data from World Bank Data Bank. Poverty and gender inequality in employment were used and measured respectively by life expectancy at birth and gender ratio in labor participation. Other variables included are wage rates, female marginal labor productivity and household income. Autoregressive Distributive Lags (ARDL) procedure of dynamic panel model was used. The result from the Dynamic Fixed Effect (DFE) revealed that female marginal productivity of labor and gender inequality in employment have a significant positive impact on demand for female labor in the long run, however female marginal productivity was found negative in the short run. It is therefore important that, in order to bridge the gender gap in employment, government should ensure gender sensitive policies and remove all forms of institutional barriers to female labor demand. Efforts should also be made to improve female productivity through training, literacy and household food security. In order for female demand to meet desired response, adequate support services and provisions that can entice female to work outside home should be provided.</abstract>

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The study raised the question of knowledge generation, in attempt to answer this question an economic model was introduced, namely, aggregate demand and aggregate supply. The final target equations can be solved by general rule (deterministic) of solving quadratic equations. The study use analytical geometry and matrix algebra tools to solve the model beside testing their stability characteristics. If we reach unique value to the price equilibrium level then income equilibrium level the maximum potency of the economy can determined. Accordingly the rest of model values would be solved spontaneously. The essential derived result is the relationship between the dependent variable and independent variable can be redefined into accommodated and accommodator one. The long run growth rate of price and income which equal to the equilibrium combat with exogenous theory of growth which seeking stable and sustainable growth. Other results center around how to view the debate of different economic schools from the shape of aggregate demand and aggregate supply, moreover the theoretical and practical test of model give great push to the suggested approach in answering the questions raised concerning the knowledge generation. If the model succeed in exceeding the theoretical and practical tests our understanding to the phenomena functioning will be broaden and enhanced, hence the model capability can be enlarged to interpret phenomena in fields other than economic, typically the suggested approach “top to bottom” may contribute positively to the process of knowledge generation in addition to the modification of value system extraction. Finally the study suggested a protocol scenario in how to apply the derived model by introducing different steps to the application.</abstract>
