“…Our choice over a FE model is dictated by the Hausman test, which rejects the hypothesis that Equation (1) can be estimated by a random effect model (RE). As a second step, we implement a System-GMM approach (For a detailed discussion of the implementation of the System-GMM estimation in varied contexts, see Sraieb (2022) [33] and Sraieb and Labadze (2022) [34]) to estimate Equation (1). System-GMM is used to address the potential inefficiency of the FE regression.…”

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic devastated all economies across the world and triggered a deterioration in firms’ financial performance. However, some sectors turned out to be more vulnerable while others continued to perform well during the crisis period. Given this fact, we conducted a comprehensive study to estimate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on firms’ profitability in Europe. We used a dynamic panel data approach and a system generalized method of moment (System-GMM) model to investigate (i) which sectors were affected and what was the magnitude of the impact on firms’ profitability, and (ii) whether the stringency of anti-pandemic policies such as workplace closures and travel bans impacted firms unevenly. We find that COVID-19 caused about a 25% decline in the profitability of firms. The most impacted sectors were Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, and Industrials, where profitability declined from 20 to 48%. We also find that firms in countries with high anti-pandemic policy stringency lost about 19% more in profitability than in the rest of the countries in Europe during 2020.

“…With proper development, a highly developed infrastructure and effective legal protection of the interests of all participants, this market is a powerful catalyst for economic progress in any country. Therefore, securities enable companies and governments to raise funds for the development and implementation of projects, and for investors to receive a return on investment, and are an important element of the financial system of each country and contribute to its economic development (Sraieb, 2022). According to S.Y.…”

The relevance of this study is determined by the current instability of the global political climate in the world and the outbreak of a number of military conflicts, which necessitates the study of the mechanisms of activity of structures that protect the interests of the population and the state. Thus, the purpose of the paper is to analyse the algorithm for the activities of civil defence authorities, particularly in wartime conditions. Among the methods used are the methods of logical analysis, deduction, synthesis, induction, functional analysis, analogy. This study provides a detailed analysis of the importance and key role played by civil protection agencies in addressing the challenges of protecting, ensuring security and developing society. The importance of their function lies in the effective implementation of strategies aimed at protecting the population and the state in times of threat and danger. The analysis in this paper takes into account the various components necessary for the successful management of various types of warfare. This includes the study of effective strategies for interaction and coordination between civil protection authorities and military command and control. Particular attention is paid to the key factors that determine the effectiveness of the organisation of interaction between military authorities and protection commissioners. Similarly, significant was the analysis of the demand for the resolution of qualitative foresight implementation tasks. Accordingly, an algorithm that will provide a more detailed and relevant examination of the wartime operational algorithm of the governing bodies has been developed. The practical value of the obtained results is that it will increase the appropriate level of combat alertness, the guarantor of the protection of the national interests of the state and its population, its territorial integrity and will generally raise the level of effectiveness of the relevant bodies considered

The analysis of the current state and identification of problems of foreign investment in Ukraine are related to various factors and aspects, including the instability of the economic environment, insufficient development of the legal framework, etc. Therefore, the study aims to analyse the circulation/use of securities and identify problems and opportunities for the development of the Ukrainian stock market. To achieve this goal, various scientific methods were used, including synthesis and analysis, formal legal and other methods. It is established that due to the implemented reforms aimed at modernisation, the financial market of Ukraine is open to investors and has expanded opportunities compared to the past. It is noted that the war initiated by Russia has led to a significant increase in the investment gap between Ukraine and other countries. It is emphasised that new measures are needed that have the potential to contribute to economic recovery in the future and strengthen its resilience to possible economic shocks. To ensure the efficiency of the investment process, it is proposed to use the most appropriate and effective strategies that should be included in the provisions of the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine “On Approval of the State Strategy for Regional Development for 2021-2027”. The author proposes an integrated mechanism for attracting foreign investment, which provides for the establishment of a favourable investment climate and intensification of investment activity. Recommendations that can be used to improve legislation on attracting foreign investment in securities have been formulated and substantiated. These proposals may be useful for the practical activities of state authorities aimed at supporting foreign investment in securities in the current stock market of Ukraine
