“…In both the cases of children and the elderly, scholarly investigations highlight the imperative for migrants to devise strategies to confront the risks and challenges they encounter [34][35][36], given the lack of comprehensive support policies in their communities of origin. In the context of the Romanian state, its orientation has been predominantly geared towards extracting benefits from migration, primarily through economic remittances, and by designing selective programs aimed at encouraging the return of specific Romanian citizens deemed valuable, such as renowned researchers from the diaspora or individuals interested in launching businesses in Romania after residing abroad [37]. Consequently, the most vulnerable individuals, particularly those in dire need of assistance upon their return, find themselves left to independently manage their own necessities or those of their families.…”

The article is focused on researching the hidden effects of seasonal migration in agriculture on Roma communities in Romania. The theoretical framework considers the specific nature of seasonal migration in agriculture and includes elements relevant to understanding the seasonal migration patterns of the Roma population from Romania. The research is based on a qualitative methodological design and over 120 interviews in four communities with Roma individuals and key actors at the community level (e.g., local authorities, teachers, priests, and social workers). The interviews are thematically analyzed, and the hidden costs of seasonal migration are discussed at three levels of analysis: individual, familial, and community. First and foremost, the analysis emphasizes that migration is the most significant factor of social change in the studied Roma communities, and its effects are multifaceted. The analysis reveals significant negative costs of migration in terms of health, education, employability, family, and community life. In the medium and long term, these effects decrease the positive aspects linked to the material gains from migration, making these Roma communities more vulnerable and dependent.

“…However, there are also some negative aspects implied by the CCE; the concerned literature highlights the heterogeneity of the economic activities included in the CCI, causing various developments of disparities in these industries [35][36][37][38], the small size of most companies operating in the CCI [39,40] and also the precariousness of the business structure [37]-enterprises of this size with problematic structures are more likely to experience hardship in times of crisis, higher medium and marginal costs, and therefore lower competitiveness on the market. On the other hand, the CCI benefits and needs agglomeration and geographical proximity, making possible the networking, project work, inspiration, knowledge exchange, and spillover effects [39].…”

Testing the Catalysts of the Romanian Creative Economy—A Panel Data Analysis Approach

2022

There have been several decades since the creative and cultural economy (CCE) was praised for its contributions to long-term socio-economic development and also for its sustainable approach concerning the main production factors involved by the creative industries—human intellect and talent—and cultural ones, and now, more than ever, the creative sector could be perceived as vital in facing and recovering from the several crises of recent years. In order to determine the “recipe” of a flourishing local CCE, our research continues analysing seven Romanian cities, by assessing several influential factors considered as catalysts of the CCE, such as: student populations, young populations, and local public expenditure on culture during 2008–2019 for the selected creative cities. In this paper, we will determine the connection between these catalysts of the local CCEs’ development as independent variables, and two economic dimensions, the number of employees and turnover, as the dependent variables. The determination of this correlation started by using the observation method and the method of multiple regression, but further investigation was needed, so the present paper deepens the research by approaching the panel data method. Our results prove an existing correlation between the analysed variables, some of them influencing positively, and others negatively.

“…Using the generalized moments method (GMM) approach, the author finds that the FDI decrease the government debt while the trade openness increases the latter. Pirtea and Nicolescu (2013) also consider the economic globalization indicators in their analysis of the determinants of public debt in Romania for the period from 2000 to 2011. Using the ordinary least squares (OLS) method, the authors highlight that the FDI reduces the public debt while the trade openness does not affect the latter.…”

“…Besides the interest explanatory variables, we look at some control variables. The latter derived from the literature addressing the determinants of public debt or budget deficit (Assibey‐Yeboah, Mallick, & Mohsin, 2016; Çolak & Özkaya, 2020; Al‐Qudah, 2019; Gargouri & Keantini, 2016; Goldfajn, 2000; Kim, 2003; Pirtea & Nicolescu, 2013; Sadik‐Zada & Gatto, 2019; Swamy, 2015). Therefore, determined by the data availability, we include into our regressions the GDP growth rate, total government income (tax revenues as % GDP), inflation (consumer price annual %), gross capital formation, general final government consumption expenditure (% of GDP), exchange rate (domestic currency per US dollar) and the population growth rate.…”

Using data on Sub-Saharan African countries and over the period from 1980 to 2017, this study empirically investigates the effects of economic globalization on public debt. By disentangling between the de jure and de facto aspects, the study uses second-generation panel data tests to diagnose the cross-sectional dependence, unit root and cointegration. The cross-sectional error correction model with the estimation by dynamic common correlated effect technique, is used. We find that economic globalization as a whole increases the public debt in the short run while decreases it in the long run. For its dimensions, we show that financial globalization increases the public debt in the short and long run, while trade globalization increases the public debt in the short run but decreases it in the long run. Consideration of the de jure and de facto aspects of economic globalization shows that the de jure economic globalization does not influence government debt while its trade dimension reduces the short-run public debt and its financial dimension increases the long-run public debt. The de facto economic globalization and its dimensions increase public debt in the short run, while in the long run only the de facto trade globalization belittles the public debt.
