In this work we analyse the CPI index as the official index to measure inflation in Albania, Harmo-nized Indices of Consumer Prices (HICPs) as the bases for comparative measurement of inflation in European countries and other financial indicators that may affect CPI. This study is an attempt to model CPI based on combination of multiple regression model with time series forecasting models. In the first approach, time series models were used directly on the CPI time series index to obtain the forecast. In the second approach, the time series models (SARIMA, ETS) were used to model and simulate forecast for each subcomponent with significant correlation to CPI and then use the multiple regression model to obtain CPI forecast. The projection of this indicator is important for understand-ing the country's economic and social development. This study helps researchers in the field of time series modeling, economic analysis and investments.

Job tenure is an important factor for both employees and employers. Sometimes, for employees, this time is a criterion in starting new job, and also for employers when they have to hire new employees. It measures the length of time that employees have been in their current job or with their current employer. Analyzing factors, which affect the job tenure, is important for companies, as well as for employee. Job tenure is a duration concepts, so we have applied survival analysis to model the tenure for Albanian employees, in several different private and public companies. First, Kaplan-Meier method is used to estimate the survival function for time. Then Cox proportional hazards model is used to assess the impact of the predictors in job termination. This study demonstrated the important role that the current age of the employee, the age at which he started the job, salary, gender, position, education, marital status and years of work in front of the current position may have on job tenure.
