“…The work [11] considers the use of composite indicators (CI) to assess the company's performance by decision-makers, but, as the authors summarize, CI at the macro level is not suitable for implementation at the company level. The paper [12] presents a composite leading indicator for the Swiss business cycle, as a result of the analysis of the KOF economic barometer.…”

The paper develops and presents an appropriate model toolkit that allows assessing the relationship between the calculated indices of economic sentiment and confidence for the main types of economic activity. The aim of the study is to experimentally substantiate the relevance of data on the opinions of technological economic agents and assess the value of this information for the statistical description and analysis of macroeconomic trends, including economic cycles and unforeseen and prolonged crises. The main hypothesis about the cyclical sensitivity of composite indices, in particular the index of economic sentiment in relation to the dynamics of the physical volume of GDP, is tested. The authors calculate a composite indicator of aggregate economic sentiment and, based on a consistent analysis of the relationship between the index of physical volume of GDP and the indicator of economic sentiment, identify aggregate empirical patterns and features of the cyclical development of technological enterprises. Accordingly, the turning points of the business cycle are discussed and the leading nature of the proposed index of economic sentiment is affirmed. The importance of the composite indicators in the economic analysis of entrepreneurial behavior in the implementation of technological innovations is shown. The nature of the calculated Economic Sentiment Index was established, and its predictive capabilities for monthly and annual real GDP growth rates using autoregression and error correction models were investigated. The stages of calculating and setting indices with the application of the DEMETRA+ statistical package were implemented.

The aim of this study was to investigate the financial sustainability of retail food SMEs for the 2016–2021 period, in Romania, from the perspective of financial equilibrium and performance. A multivariate analysis was used, including a correlation analysis, a principal component analysis (PCA), and a cluster analysis. The empirical results show a positive link between the financial performance and financial equilibrium indicators. We employed the PCA in order to build a composite financial index using financial equilibrium indicators (ratios of liquidity, solvency, collection, and payment period) and financial performance indicators (Return on Assets and Return on Equity). The results show that financial equilibrium and performance are the two main dimensions which the financial sustainability index (FSI) was constructed on. Taking into account the dimensions of financial sustainability, the analyzed SMEs were clustered in four homogeneous clusters. The research findings clearly demonstrated that the retail food SMEs with a good/acceptable financial sustainability also have a good/acceptable financial balance and performance situation. Furthermore, a significant part of the analyzed SMEs faces difficulties regarding financial sustainability, being characterized by the lowest values of FSI, determined by both an uncertain situation in terms of liquidity, leading to a financial disequilibrium, and a negative financial performance. Therefore, this research emphasizes some specific measures that need to be taken to boost financial sustainability of these businesses in the retail food sector.
