“…Thereinto, the construction of network structure is mainly based on agreements (formal and informal, global and regional) [37,38], web-based text data [39], interviews, and questionnaires [40]. As well as relying on statistics as the data source, a few scholars also attempt to measure the extent of tourism cooperation by the harmonized cooperation index [41] and gravity model [42,43]. On this basis, ArcGIS is used for visual display to form a spatial hierarchical network based on geographical location, focusing on the connection between network nodes and geographical location, as well as identifying the spatial allocation relationship between nodes and tourism elements, and then summarizing the spatial differentiation law of tourism cooperation network structure [44].…”

The optimization of the cooperation network is a key link to accelerate the high-quality development of regional tourism. Taking the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region as an example, this paper measures the tourism cooperation intensity with the modified gravity model, on which the original, binary, and Top networks are generated to identify the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics from the multi-dimensional difference–association–agglomeration model, and provide insight into the determinants by the GeoDetector model. The results show that (1) the cooperation network reveals a diffusion trend with Beijing–Tianjin as the main axis chain, and southward expansion, and the overall differences tend to moderate at a slow pace, among which the north is the weak area. (2) The robustness of the cooperation network association structure is enhanced, showing that the outgoing equilibrium is improved, while the cohesion is strengthened and accessibility changes little. Furthermore, the cities show a core–edge distribution pattern in terms of power roles. (3) The cooperation network shows the phenomenon of hierarchical agglomeration gradually with the expansion of network scale, and eventually evolves into two camps: the Beijing–Tianjin cooperation circle and the Shijiazhuang–Xingtai cooperation circle. (4) Tourism cooperation belongs to the locational traffic constraint type, and making up for the shortcomings of rural development is another key to further enhancing regional tourism cooperation. The future optimization of regional tourism cooperation needs to seek multifactorial promotion paths.

“…Značajno niža razina ulaganja po stanovniku u zemljama jugoistočne Europe u usporedbi s CEE zemljama rezultat je tranzicijskog procesa, koji je u ovoj skupini zemalja bio sporiji i manje uspješan, odnosno niže razine gospodarske razvijenosti, ali i slabije kvalitete institucija i pravne nesigurnosti (Bogdan, 2009;Estrin & Uvalić, 2014;Estrin & Uvalić, 2016). Osim toga, neažurirane zemljišne i katastarske knjige, sporo rješavanje sporova, dugotrajan proces ishođenja potrebnih dozvola te nepostojanje subvencija za zapošljavanje u većini zemalja regije otežavaju dolazak inozemnih ulagača (Broz, Buturac & Tkalec, 2015). I ljestvica Svjetske Banke Doing Business pokazuje da zemlje jugoistočne Europe imaju slabiju poslovnu klimu od CEE zemalja (Slika 4).…”

“…Ovakva slika s regionalnom suradnjom u području inozemnih izravnih ulaganja pokazuje da, iako suradnja postoji, ona nije značajna kao u području vanjske trgovine te se zapravo najviše suradnje u području inozemnih izravnih ulaganja odvija između susjednih zemalja. Razlog za slabu suradnju može se pronaći u tome što su sve zemlje obuhvaćene analizom neto uvoznici kapitala, a tek manji dio svoje domaće štednje ulažu u inozemstvo (Broz, Buturac & Tkalec, 2015). To su ipak većinom relativno slabije razvijene zemlje, kojima su ulaganja potrebna za daljnji ekonomski razvoj te je razumljivo da više ulaganja stiže iz razvijenih ekonomija, nego iz regije.…”

“…Naime, cijene većine dionica potrebnih za izračun stanja inozemnih izravnih ulaganja, koje kotiraju na burzi, ostvarile su u 2008. godini strmoglavi pad 9 . Za razliku od toga, većina regionalnih inozemnih izravnih ulaganja ne kotira na burzi te stoga situacija na burzama značajno manje utječe na stanje ulaganja (Broz, Buturac & Tkalec, 2015). Iako se kretanje indeksa inozemnih izravnih ulaganja iz ostatka svijeta oporavilo u idućim godinama, više se ne nalazi na istoj putanji kao i indeks inozemnih izravnih ulaganja iz regije te se do 2017. godine između ta dva indeksa stvorio veliki jaz.…”

Cilj ovog istraživanja je utvrditi koliko međusobno ulažu zemlje jugoistočne Europe. Naime, postojeća istraživanja nisu usmjerena na analizu otkuda potječu inozemna izravna ulaganja u zemljama jugoistočne Europe - iz drugih zemalja jugoistočne Europe ili iz ostalih zemalja? Zbog toga je u ovom radu fokus stavljen na zemlje jugoistočne Europe kako bi se istražila struktura inozemnih izravnih ulaganja, kao i njihova međusobna povezanost u pogledu inozemnih izravnih ulaganja. Osim toga, cilj rada je konstruirati indeks inozemnih izravnih ulaganja kako bi ustanovili kako se njihova suradnja u ovom području kretala kroz vrijeme. Rezultati pokazuju da inozemna izravna ulaganja u zemlje regije većinom dolaze iz članica EU, dok su međuregionalna izravna ulaganja još uvijek relativno slabo zastupljena. Ipak, indeks inozemnih izravnih ulaganja temeljen na stanju inozemnih izravnih ulaganja ukazuje na kontinuirano povećanje regionalne suradnje. Suradnja između zemalja jugoistočne Europe, iako nominalno niska, ostvaruje značajno više stope rasta od suradnje ove regije s ostatkom svijeta, što ukazuje na interes regije za produbljivanjem zajedničke suradnje.

“…After decades of political and institutional instability, the Western Balkan (WB) region is currently on track toward building more stable societies, converging to European Union (EU) standards. This situation offers the possibility of strengthening mutual economic cooperation especially in the field of international trade [1,2]. Based on the results from the previous studies on the impacts of trade liberalization and integration processes on macroeconomic performance and export competitiveness [3][4][5][6][7], it can be assumed that these processes could create new challenges to improve macroeconomic performance and strengthen export competitiveness of Western Balkan countries.…”

The aim of this paper is to gain new knowledge about illicit tobacco trade in Western Balkan countries and its effects on public finance sustainability. It includes an estimation of the volume of illicit tobacco trade, identifying and quantifying the key factors that cause illegal tobacco trade, the effects of illegal tobacco trade on public finance sustainability, and the effects on the intensity of total tobacco trade. An empirical analysis was conducted using the data collected by field research on consumer preferences in tobacco products in Western Balkan countries (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia). The reference research period is the year 2018. The results obtained show a high variability of volume of illicit tobacco trade in Western Balkan countries. While more than 20% of tobacco products in Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina are bought on the gray market, a share of illicit tobacco trade lower than 5% is found in Slovenia and Macedonia. Underdeveloped institutional framework fighting against illicit trade and weak rule of law, coupled with the heavy taxation of tobacco products, are the key factors behind a higher intensity of illicit trade in comparison to more developed European Union (EU) economies. Illicit tobacco trade negatively affects the stability of public finance of Western Balkan economies and reduces the level of public service. It is especially important for the health system combating the negative consequences of smoking. Regular and illicit tobacco trade amongst Western Balkan countries is found to flow in opposite directions.
