A Qualitative Study Of Mindfulness, Sustainable Consumption And Consumer Well-Being And Their Interrelationships, Saba Resnik
A Qualitative Study Of Mindfulness, Sustainable Consumption And Consumer Well-Being And Their Interrelationships, Saba Resnik
Economic and Business Review
Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental degradation, negative economic consequences and social injustices caused by the unsustainable consumption of clothing products. Overall, therefore, sustainability requires more sustainable production of fashion apparel products as well as more responsible consumption behaviours by individual consumers. To gain a clearer picture of the concepts of mindfulness, sustainable consumption and consumer well-being and their interrelationships, in-depth interviews were conducted with individual consumers. The results of this study indicate a positive relationship between these three concepts as well as an overlap between the concepts of mindfulness and well-being.
Corruption And Non-Performing Loans, Ardit Gjeçi, Matej Marinč
Corruption And Non-Performing Loans, Ardit Gjeçi, Matej Marinč
Economic and Business Review
This article empirically evaluates the impact of corruption on the level of non-performing loans (NPLs) using the international bank-level data, spanning over the period 2000–2016 and across 140 countries. We find a positive and statistically significant relationship between corruption and NPLs. We also analyze the channels through which corruption affects NPLs. We find that the relationship between corruption and NPLs becomes more pronounced during and after the global financial crisis and is more pronounced for smaller banks. The association between corruption and NPLs is stronger in countries characterized by a high level of collectivism. The link between corruption and NPLs …
The Impact Of Intangible Capital On The Productivity Of Small Firms, Črt Kostevc, Tjaša Redek
The Impact Of Intangible Capital On The Productivity Of Small Firms, Črt Kostevc, Tjaša Redek
Economic and Business Review
Despite the mounting evidence in support of the role of intangible capital on firm performance, some research gaps remain. This paper focuses on the link between intangible capital and firm performance with a particular focus on the effect firm size has on the relationship by studying the population of Slovene enterprises between 2007 and 2020. We find that while intangible assets are positively associated with productivity, the link is by no means linear. Furthermore, micro firms appear to benefit most from investing in intangible assets, while the effect is less robust for small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) and large firms. …
Triggers Of Different Types Of Firm Growth, Nina Ponikvar, Maks Tajnikar, Petra Došenović Bonča
Triggers Of Different Types Of Firm Growth, Nina Ponikvar, Maks Tajnikar, Petra Došenović Bonča
Economic and Business Review
Authors define and explain firm growth as its transition from current position to short-term or long-term equilibrium motivated by profit maximisation. They allocate growing firms into six groups according to their growth type based on different dimensions of firm growth, i.e. growth of labour, growth of capital, growth of the volume of business, and growth of profit. Given that the typology of growing firms employed for the purpose of this paper is based on microeconomic theory, the triggers and their hypothesised relevance in explaining short-term and long-term growth patterns are also grounded in microeconomic theory. Accordingly, the authors study growth …
Intangibles And Participation In Global Value Chains In The Eu: Evidence From The Globalinto Input-Output Intangibles Database, Petros Dimas, Dimitrios Stamopoulos, Aggelos Tsakanikas
Intangibles And Participation In Global Value Chains In The Eu: Evidence From The Globalinto Input-Output Intangibles Database, Petros Dimas, Dimitrios Stamopoulos, Aggelos Tsakanikas
Economic and Business Review
The scope of this paper is to provide empirical evidence regarding intangible inputs, global value chains (GVCs) participation and their linkage with exports in the EU and the UK, utilizing data from WIOD and the newly constructed GLOBALINTO Input-Output Intangibles Database for the period 2000–2014. GVC participation metrics are calculated based on a production-based decomposition framework and include backward and forward participation indices. Intangible inputs follow a breakdown by origin into domestic and imported intangible inputs. Our empirical results suggest that GVC participation (both backward and forward) is a significant driver for exports and highlight the importance of intangibles’ origin …
Intangible Assets And Their Impact On Economic Performance, Mojca Bavdaž, Yannis Caloghirou, Mira Dimitrić, Aimilia Protogerou
Intangible Assets And Their Impact On Economic Performance, Mojca Bavdaž, Yannis Caloghirou, Mira Dimitrić, Aimilia Protogerou
Economic and Business Review
The paper introduces the topic of intangible assets. It describes the evolution of the concept of intangible assets and the role of these assets in today’s economy. The importance of intangible assets is highlighted through many quantitative estimates of the impact that intangible assets have on economic performance. After reviewing research carried out mainly in the Western economies, the paper concentrates on the research covering the size and impact of intangible investment in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) and Balkan countries. Moreover, the focus shifts to the firm level where the management of intangible assets faces several challenges that …

Innovation And Productivity: Is Learning By Doing Over?, Ružica Bukša Tezzele
Innovation And Productivity: Is Learning By Doing Over?, Ružica Bukša Tezzele
Economic and Business Review
Labour productivity is one of the key measures of economic performance. It represents the total volume of output produced per unit of labour. This paper examines the influence of business investments in research and development and education on labour productivity using system dynamics modelling. The results reveal that investments in education and training activities generate higher labour productivity growth. The impact of innovations largely depends on their diffusion and adoption that require educated and trained users. The new industrial era makes learning by doing quietly disappear and demand a great flexibility of workers and their ability to rapidly acquire new …
Life Cycle Surplus And Life Cycle Deficit Of Immigrants Versus Natives, Persida Cica Tofoska Apostolova, Tanja Istenič, Jože Sambt
Life Cycle Surplus And Life Cycle Deficit Of Immigrants Versus Natives, Persida Cica Tofoska Apostolova, Tanja Istenič, Jože Sambt
Economic and Business Review
Recently, immigration and its socio-economic aspects have been in the centre of the European Union leaders’ agenda. In this paper, we apply the National Transfer Accounts (NTA) methodology to calculate the complete set of NTA results for immigrants and natives in five EU countries. We find that due to the lower labour income, which cannot be offset by the lower consumption, immigrants experience a shorter independence period and a much lower aggregate life cycle surplus than natives. The identified cross country differences between immigrants and natives could be used as a proxy of the achieved level of integration of immigrants.
What Do We Know About Business Angels’ Decision Making Research Development? A Document Co-Citation Analysis, Dina Vasić, Alenka Slavec Gomezel
What Do We Know About Business Angels’ Decision Making Research Development? A Document Co-Citation Analysis, Dina Vasić, Alenka Slavec Gomezel
Economic and Business Review
Business angels (BAs) mitigate the financial gap of early-stage ventures and get actively involved in ventures they invest in. Their crucial role in the start-up ecosystem is spurring interest in their decision-making processes when making investments. However, the research about their investment decision making is crumpled. So far, we know the knowledge base about BA decision making comes from a blend of interdisciplinary studies where psychology and finance had a significant impact in pushing the research to new levels. With this study, we review knowledge dyads in the BA decision-making field through bibliometric co-citation analysis.
