Item type:Publication, Innovations and Entrepreneurship in the Macedonian Business Sector(Inderscience Publishers, 2017); ; ;Antovska, MaricaThe paper starts by stressing the central role of entrepreneurship as a driving force for the dynamism and growth of modern economies. Then, the common factors contributing to low level of innovation activity in the Western Balkans are analysed. We then focus on how those factors limit the level and quality of innovation activity in the case of the Republic of Macedonia. It is pointed out that the following factors constrain the innovation activity in the Macedonian economy: the low level of R&D investments, the small share of the business sector in such investments, and a business climate which creates insufficient competitive pressure on firms to innovate and leaves room for political involvement in the business sector. Policy prescriptions include improvements in the coordination among relevant ministries/agencies supporting the SME sector and the cooperation between the business sector and the scientific community and educational system. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, What do we know about the effects of expansionary fiscal policy - lessons from the great crises(Ss Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, Faculty of Economics - Skopje, 2015); ; Antovska, MaricaThis paper first describes the design and functioning of fiscal policy during the Great Depression – mainly on the example of the USA. Then it summarizes the debates and different assessments of the efficiency, i.e. inefficiency of the fiscal stimuli during the Great Depression. These estimates, for reasons of objectivity, are placed within the historical context of developments in the 1930s: dominance of the liberal economic philosophy; the “boom” of economic activity in developed countries in the period 1922 – 1929; insufficiently developed macroeconomic science and the increasing influence of Keynes’s economic concepts before and during the crisis. Later, the effects of expansionary fiscal policy used for addressing the challenges of the Great Recession are analyzed. In this context, the paper provides the dilemmas and controversies regarding the estimation of the value of fiscal multipliers and the limits of discretionary fiscal policy – especially those related to the accumulation of structural budget deficits and the growth of public debt. In spite of the present controversies and dilemmas about the real possibilities and limits of expansionary fiscal policy, the authors especially/particularly highlight the viewpoint that fiscal stimuli, in time of severe and prolonged recessions, in the presence of a dysfunctional banking system and interest rates near the zero low bound rate, function well. In the end, the paper summarizes the lessons from the experience about the effects of expansionary fiscal policy during severe and prolonged recessions, as lessons for the Republic of Macedonia. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Efficiency of the fiscal policy and the fiscal multipliers – the case of the Republic of Macedonia(Economic Research Institute at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 2016); ; The aim of this paper is two-fold: to analyze the relevance of fiscal multiplier as concept used in assessing the efficiency of the fiscal policy in general, and to apply empirical analysis on the fiscal policy multipliers in the case of the Republic of Macedonia. On the first aspect, we emphasize the very different results obtained by the extensive empirical literature on the size and sign of fiscal multipliers, both for changes in taxes and changes in government expenditures. On the second aspect, we apply the VAR methodology in the analysis of the efficiency of the fiscal policy of the Republic of Macedonia during the period 2000-2012, so that we could be able to study the effects of various fiscal measures during the relatively good times preceding the global financial crisis and Great Recession as well as the effects of the various countercyclical fiscal measures aimed at alleviating the consequences of the macroeconomic downfall associated with those landmark events. One of the most interesting results of the empirical analysis in the paper is the negative sign obtained for the fiscal multipliers in the case of the Republic of Macedonia. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, КАКО МОЖЕ ПРЕТПРИЕМНИШТВОТО ДА ПРИДОНЕСЕ ЗА ЗГОЛЕМУВАЊЕ НА ВРАБОТЕНОСТА НА МЛАДАТА ПОПУЛАЦИЈА ВО РЕПУБЛИКА МАКЕДОНИЈА(Национален центар за развој на иновации и претприемачко учење, 2014); ; Невработеноста влегува во редот на најтешките макроекономски, социјални и политички проблеми со кои се соочуваат современите земји. Глобалната криза од 2007/2009 година посебно ги погоди младите (делот од работната сила под 25 години), со што уште повеќе се зголеми јазот помеѓу општата стапка на невработеност и стапката на невработеност на младата популација. Светските искуства покажуваат дека развојот на малите и средните претпријатија (МСП) и на претприемништвото даваат посебен придонес во креирањето на нови работни места и во зголемување на шансите за вработување на младите. Врз основа на таквите искуства и низ критички осврт на процесот на развој на малите бизниси и на претприемништвото во Македонија, селектираме неколку приоритети на економската политика кои можат да придонесат за развој на претприемништвото (посебно на виталните претприемнички процеси - иновативност, индустриски субконтрактинг, бизнис - инкубација, развој на ризичниот капитал и сл.) и за ублажување на високата невработеност на младата работна сила: (1) подобрување на инвестиционата клима, т.е. креирање на поволен претприемнички амбиент, посебно во сегментите врзани за заштитата на сопственичките права, борбата против корупцијата, подобрување на регулацијата на бизнисите, спречување на инволвирањето на политиката во бизнисот и сл; (2) креирање на капацитет за трансформација на локалните влади, т.е. оспособување на јавната администрација за покренување и имплементација на претприемничкиот процес во единиците на локалната самоуправа; (3) подобрување на квалитетот на претприемничкото образование и ширење на претприемничката култура низ комбинација на знаењата кои се стекнуваат во “училниците“ со вештините во практиката; (4) олеснување на пристапот на МСП до средства за финансирање на нивниот раст преку докапитализација на Македонската банка за поддршка на развојот и промоција на алтернативни форми за финансирање на бизнисите - посебно на ризичниот капитал; (5) понатамошен развој на активните пристапи преку критичко преиспитување на нивните практични ефекти. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The European debt crisis and its implications on the Macedonian Economy(Center for Economic Analyses, 2013); This article provides an overview of the roots of the European debt crisis, which cannot be attributed only to the large fiscal stimulus undertaken by the governments as a response to the global financial crisis of 2007. It results also from the specific design of the Eurozone and the disparities among countries, as well as to fiscal and financial imbalances, especially the previous credit boom and real estate bubble in some peripheral countries. European leaders now face numerous dilemmas concerning the implemented fiscal austerity measures and the appropriate exit strategies (proposals range from enhanced decentralized coordination of fiscal policies, to structural reforms and to a banking and fiscal union). In the end, some of the implications of the European crisis on the financial, real and fiscal sector of the Macedonian economy are examined. Based on the analysis, the article offers lessons about the fiscal policy and public debt of the Republic of Macedonia. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Entrepreneurship, innovations and local economic development – the case of the Republic of Macedonia(Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts: Department of Social Sciences, 2014); ; ;Antovska, MaricaThe authors of this paper address the importance of small and medium size enterprises (SMEs), entrepreneurship and innovation for the local economic development in Macedonia. The analysis in our paper identifies the main challenges and priorities for the development of a dynamic SME sector and qualitative entrepreneurial processes in Macedonia. Such challenges and priorities can be "located" in the following areas: first, improvement of certain key segments of the investment climate and especially - abandoning the practice of involvement of politics in business, raising the quality of the local infrastructure and facilitating the access of SMEs to resources for financing their growth; second, building the capacity of the local governments for transformation; third, increasing the capacity of the business sector for introducing innovations, which present the main source of differentiation of products and services of companies compared to their competition, i.e. for enhancing the competitiveness of companies and for achieving economic profits and a more dynamic growth. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
