الوصف: The ambitious goals of environmental sustainability stated in international agreements and national programs require developing strategies to achieve them. At the same time, there is a lack of empirical evidence on the environmental performance factors, which can be purposefully changed to achieve an effective result in the short and medium-term. The paper aims to find the institutional factors of national environmental performance, including financial ones, which might be effectively used as environmental sustainability management tools. For this, the relationships between the Environmental Performance Index (EPI), as the dependent variable, and the indicators of control of corruption, the effectiveness of an anti-monopoly policy, financial opportunities, undue influence, corporate culture, innovation output, GDP, and income growth among the poorest population, using a sample of 81 countries, and the technique for constructing nonlinear regression models based on the normalizing transformations for non-Gaussian data were studied.The study findings show that environmental performance can be predicted with sufficient accuracy by a linear model of its dependence on corruption control, minority shareholders protection, judicial independence, favoritism in decisions of government officials, tax incentives, ease of access to loans, and innovation output. Adding GDP per capita to the explanatory variables of the EPI model does not significantly affect the result accuracy but changes the model shape from linear to nonlinear. The paper substantiates ways to apply results for institutional reforms and sustainability management, such as inflation targeting, public credit guarantee schemes, performance-based loans, etc.

الوصف: In this study we aim at assessing the willingness to invest of small‑apple farms in Korça region‑Albania. Furthermore, we want to identify and assess what are major determinants, as percept by farmers’, willingness to invest. To this purpose we used data collected through face‑to‑face interviews with apple farmers. We used descriptive statistics, as well as classical and multinomial logistic regression. Most of farmers are willing to invest in view of their positive expectations for investment climate. Other important factors of willingness to invest are access to loans, advisory extension services, market competition, willingness to cooperate and willingness to take loans, and farm income, while socio‑demographic factors such as age, education, and farming experience do not have significant effect on willingness to invest. Large farms are generally more willing to invest. We present also a general framework of constraints and policy levers to improving the investment climate which is almost valid also for Albania. Improving farmers’ access to private credit sources, policy stability, providing information and public advisory services to small farmers, support farmers to adopt new technology, support to the creation of farmers’ formal and informal groups, and mitigate risks of various type are some but essential policy measures to motivate farmers to invest more in apple.

الوصف: This study examines the productivity performance of Balkan firms within and outside the European Union (EU), including the influence of loans. A multiple treatment model is used to compare the effects on productivity of membership and loans both separately and collectively, which in the case of loans allows a separate analysis of their influence on firms in non-member states. The use of conditional quantile regressions measures the effect on productivity of membership and loans separately as treatment variables. This provides an analysis of where the treatment influence is greatest across the distribution curve and identifies the significance of selected control variables on the outcome. In the full sample, the findings indicate that EU membership and loans have a positive effect on productivity, with membership being more important than loans. Outside the EU, firms in receipt of loans are more productive than those without. However, the significance of both membership and loans is restricted to the lower end of the productivity distribution curve. The manufacturing sample shows that EU membership has a significant positive effect across 70% of the deciles measured, whilst the influence of loans is restricted to the lower deciles, with rental capital (leasing) also positively significant in the lower four deciles. In the services sector, however, membership is significant up to 90% of the distribution, with loans at 60%.

الوصف: El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en investigar los efectos de las restricciones de liquidez sobre la inversión en capital humano en un país en desarrollo. La metodología y los datos empleados permiten identificar a los individuos y hogares restringidos de una manera directa, mediante definiciones alternativas de restricción financiera. Los datos provienen de la Encuesta Nacional de Hogares y Medición de Nivel de Vida (ENMV) de Nicaragua para los años 1998 y 2005. Las estimaciones respaldan la hipótesis de que las restricciones de acceso al préstamo reducen la asistencia escolar en todos los niveles educativos.
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effects of liquidity constraints on investment in human capital in a developing country. The methodology and the data used allow the identification of individuals and households restricted directly using alternative definitions of financial constraints. The data come from the Encuesta Nacional de Hogares y Medición de Nivel de Vida (ENMV) of Nicaragua for the years 1998 and 2005. The estimates support the hypothesis that restrictions on the access to loans reduce attendance at all educational levels.
