“…Thus, the identification of these two clubs of convergence should not come as a surprise. However, differences in SE across countries are not only associated with the structure of national economies but also, with the characteristics of the national population, as [13] observe for gender issues. These authors analyse whether there is SE rate convergence between genders, providing evidence of the difference between core and peripheral countries in Europe (See [11] for the analysis of institutional features as determinants of national differences in SE rates).…”

This paper attempts to identify patterns of convergence in the rates of self-employment (SE) for both foreign-born and natives in a sample of 17 European countries during the period 1999–2018. A distinction is made between self-employed with and without workers. Our analysis is relevant for policy-making: whether or not there is evidence of convergence in SE rates can be an indication of the homogeneity of self-employed workers among the countries analysed, which in turn may reflect the success of the EU-wide policies to boost SE.

“…Likewise, improvement innovation is the provision of the best alternative innovations that are the most efficient and effective for a process or a product. Something that is innovated requires consideration for the product creation process, then there is also the need to consider the existence of innovations that can be spread and innovations that are adopted from other people's products (Ahn & Yu, 2020;Faria, Cuestas, Gil-Alana & Mourelle, 2020;Dinh et al, 2020).…”

Career Self-Efficacy (CSE) is a person's ability that shows an effort to achieve what he wants for his career goals in decision making. A person's career choice is formed during the exploration stage that explores his desires in that phase. Student's interest to selfemployment creates the ability of being creative and innovative. It also makes them become observant of opportunities and is always open to any input and changes that occur during college and after college. The population of the study consisted of state university students in Riau Province. The sample consisted of 778 students that used random sampling technique. The instrument used is the career decision self-efficacy scale, which has a Cronbach Alpha value of .90 and a self-employment intention instrument that has a Cronbach alpha value of .83. The analysis of this research uses Simple Linear Regression Analysis which is analyzed using the SPSS Version 24 application. The results of this study indicate that student career self-efficacy is at a high stage and the selection of self-employment careers is at a high stage as well. In addition, the researcher found that there is an effect of career self-efficacy on selfemployment career choices among students at the State University of Riau Province, Indonesia. It was found that the R test result was [r= .414, p<.05] which means that is about 41.40% which was found to be influenced by the two variables. Therefore, the implication of this study shows that the higher the student's career self-efficacy, the higher the career to choose a self-employment career.

“…The methodology used in this paper is based primarily on cluster analysis. The ultimate goal is the classification of EU countries in order to determine homogeneous groups of countries according to the base indices of selected indicators of the agricultural economic performance (Faria et al, 2021). Based on the authors' opinion, after searching the literature, some indicators were selected in order to find out similarities between EU countries according to indicators' values during particular periods of time.…”

The aim of the research is to classify the European Union (EU) countries based on the progress in the economic performance of agriculture. The originality of the paper stems from the fact that a new set of indicators (in relative form) was used to identify the clusters. The following indicators are used to assess the economic performance of the EU agricultural sector (by cluster analysis) for two periods (2015-2017 and 2018-2020): total labor force input, real income of factors in agriculture per annual work unit, total agricultural output, gross value added of the agricultural industry, and animal output. The study confirmed that EU countries, according to changes in agricultural performance, differ significantly. They were grouped into four relatively homogeneous clusters according to their similarity, with a clear geographical dispersion for both analyzed periods. Identifying development disparities between EU countries can be useful in future redesigns of the Common Agricultural Policy measures in terms of increased support to certain members.
