Abstract

This Paper has reviewed both the literature on regional housing markets and the current and emerging policy environment. It has shown that there have been significant developments in housing policy over the previous two years, with a number of major policy initiatives and substantial public sector investment in housing. The Positioning Paper has suggested that not all new programs and policies are equally accessible to metropolitan and non-metropolitan Australia alike.

Abstract

This Article IV Consultation reports that the main challenge is to maintain macroeconomic stability in substantial demand shock from the construction of two major liquefied natural gas projects. The global downturn had only a mild impact, as growth was supported by still strong terms of trade, a financial sector insulated from global capital markets, and an increase in public expenditure. IMF staff stressed that monetary policy needed to be focused on emerging inflation pressures and act preemptively to avoid high inflation from becoming entrenched in expectations.

Abstract

The paper analyzed the dynamics of tourist demand and offer in Romania's mountain resorts in the period 2010-2019 using the statistical data collected from National Institute of Statistics in order to identify the main trends and suggest solutions for enhancing this sector of the national tourism. Fixed basis index, structural index and comparison method have been used for data processing. Romania has more than 100 mountain resorts, with a wonderful scenery and breathtaking splendors and treasure which must be discovered. More than 95 resorts are suitable for skiing. The most attractive mountain resorts are Poiana Brasov, Sinaia, Busteni, Predeal, Azuga, Paltinis, Vatra Dornei, Ranca and Transalpina. Over 2.3 million tourists spent their vacations in Romania's mountain resorts in 2019, being 2.8 times more then 2010 and accounting for 17.2% of total Romania's visitors. Romanians are dominant with a share of 91%. Not only the number of Romanians is growing up, but also the foreign visitors number which reached over 196 thousand in 2019, that is 2.2 times more than in 2010. The overnight stays increased 2.8 times, accounting for 4.42 million in 2019. In the mountain resorts there are 2,370 units for tourists accommodation, of which about 70% were represented by tourist and agro-tourist guesthouses, 8.7% tourist villas, 7.9% hotels and 6.2% chalets etc. Their number represent 27.5% of Romania's tourism accommodation units. In 2019, the offer of places (beds) was 63,943, by 80.4% more than in 2010 and representing 17.8% of the total offer in Romania's tourism. The beauty of the natural mountain landscapes, biodiversity, local economy, humans, cultural and historical heritage have to be better valorized, developed and promoted to enhance mountain tourism to increase its efficiency and competitiveness. Mountain skiing resorts have to continue their efforts to improve the access roads, buildings, equipments, installations, facilities, to enlarge the range of activities and to offer to tourists unforgettable vacations and to entirely cover their expectations.

Abstract

The paper aimed to analyze the demand and offer in Romania's balneary (spa) tourism in the decade 2010-2019 in order to identify the main trends and correlations and the aspects which have to be improved for increasing spa tourism contribution in the economy and to people's health and relaxation. The data provided by National Institute of Statistics were processed using usual methods for dynamic analysis, trend equation, regressions and correlations, and determination coefficient. In 2019, Romania's offer in spa tourism was represented by 37 balneary resorts, 620 units with reception function for tourist accommodation, and 35,643 places, while the demand consisted of 1.33 million tourist arrivals and 4.81 million overnight stays. All this figures represent much more than in 2010, except the number of places which declined by 2.3%. Romanian spa tourism keeps 7.1% of the number of tourist accommodation units, 10% of the number of places, 8.5% of tourist arrivals, and 16% overnight stays. A positive and strong connection was found between the number of tourist arrivals and overnight stays, but also an unbalanced ratio between overnight stays and number of places as well as between tourist arrivals and number of places. Therefore, balneary tourism has to be much more sustained to become a strong branch of Romania's tourism. A new strategy is required to better valorize the richness of natural resources, to continue investing in infrastructure, to diversify spa services, and to promote more intensively Romania's spa tourism abroad.

Abstract

Production in 2004 was actually running higher than consumption prior to 1995 and this has caused the existence of a world surplus of baled cotton in the form of stocks in warehouse. It is the existence of these “ending stocks” that has a large effect on the international price of cotton. Consumption began to outpace production in 2001 to 2003 period and this, mixed with crop disasters in various regions, caused the international price to rise. The reaction from many countries was to increase production in reaction to this. Cconsumption failed to match this increase in production, causing a fall in prices and a renewal of the world’s ending stocks.

Abstract

The horticultural market in Romania is an unbalanced one, in which the demand is greater than the supply, as a result the phenomenon of price volatility appears for these categories of agri-food products. The objective of the paper is to present the main trends on the vegetable market in Romania at the level of the last 7 years, based on the statistical data available in the database of National Institute of Statistics (NIS) from Romania and International Trade Center (ITC). The results showed that the demand for vegetables increased, while the supply showed slight downward trends, the largest share of production being intended for self-consumption, thus, our country is forced to resort to imported vegetables. This situation had a negative influence on the trade balance with vegetable products. In the period 2015-2022, the trade balance for the category of horticultural products registered an increase in the deficit of 311%, from -8,335,747 thousand euro in 2015 to -34,269,689 in 2022.

Abstract

This section presents abstracts of several studies related to organizational behavior. Michael Humphreys and Andrew D. Brown argued that a narrative approach can assist researchers in their efforts to analyze organizational identities and sensemaking processes, as political maneuvers designed to legitimate certain interests while marginalizing others. Jenny M. Hoobler investigated whether abusive supervision may be a behavior not necessarily aimed at a specific subordinate, but instead the result of a displeasure by a supervisor with his or her organization. Hwee-Hoon Tan, Maw-Der Foo and Min-Hui Kwek proposed that customer traits play a part in the service encounter. Violet Ho adopted a dyadic-level perspective to examine the impact of social influence on employees' perceptions of psychological contract fulfillment. Kelly L. Zellars and colleagues used survey responses from restaurant employees and their supervisors to investigate linkages between the justice perceptions of employees and organizational citizenship behavior. Greg R. Oldham and Markus Baer proposed that employees exhibit creativity at work when conditions are present that facilitate both the generation of creative ideas and the sharing of these ideas with others.
