This paper analyses basic outcome and effects of the privatisation process in Serbia. The first two parts of the paper deal
with general achievements of the newest privatisation plan adopted in 2001. We present a brief background of the results of
the privatisation process, analysing changes in the structure of enterprises by ownership status, the number of privatised
firms, revenues earned through privatisation, the rate of successful transactions, and other relevant privatisation indicators.
The paper continues with an analysis of a survey conducted within a sample of Serbian enterprises offering some evidence about
performance, competition, and restructuring within different types of firms: socially owned, privatised, and new private.
Contrary to the broadly accepted statement that new private firms are leading in transition economies, according to our estimation
of the effects of the ownership type on firm performance, it appears that the privatised sector seems to be more active. A
comparison of the survey results with findings for three neighbouring countries indicates that there is no general conclusion
about the way how ownership status of a firm affects its performance in a transition economy. Although conclusions drawn from
our survey analysis should be regarded as preliminary and limited by the quality of survey data and could not be generalised
for the privatisation process in other transition countries, the findings we present, including the comparison made with other
economies, could contribute to the understanding of both privatisation effects in general and effects remarkable for the Serbian
economy.

This article examines the role and position of national courts during transitional periods with focus on and case study of
the judiciary in Serbia. Courts in Serbia, as any other judiciary in transition, have undergone a staggering transformative
process as illustrated by a chronology of human rights cases. On the other hand, courts in Serbia, as their counterparts worldwide,
have also been the transformation force, as evidenced by recent jurisprudence in cases dealing more or less successfully with
political assassinations, organized crime, corruption, war crimes, and international courts. 相似文献
In this study we investigated longitudinal associations among parenting, children's temperamental negative affectivity, and internalizing and externalizing behavior. Second, we tested whether findings confirmed the diathesis‐stress model or differential susceptibility theory when conducting stringent interaction tests. The sample included 129 children and their families. Parenting quality (age 5) was measured by parent–child interaction observations. Parents evaluated child negative affectivity (age 7) and teachers reported on problem behavior (age 12). Multiple regression analyses revealed an interaction effect of negative affectivity and parenting on externalizing behavior. Visual inspection suggested ‘for better and for worse’ effects of parenting for children with negative affectivity. However, more stringent tests failed to show convincing evidence for differential susceptibility theory. For internalizing behavior, negative affectivity may render children vulnerable regardless of parenting. Our results point at the importance of further testing interaction effects to distinguish between differential susceptibility theory and the diathesis‐stress model. 相似文献
Usually, the dependence in stationary processes is described by a set of coefficients. In this paper, a measure of dependence is proposed which can be used instead of the autocorrelation function, and another measure for the dependence between two processes instead of cross-correlation function and coherence coefficients. In the end, an improvement of extrapolation of a process is investigated which is caused by the knowledge of another related process. 相似文献
Even though officially Lithuania has but one capital, Vilnius, it is often thought and spoken as if there were two important capitals for the Lithuanian consciousness. Vilnius is the official capital, but in modern Lithuanian history Kaunas, the country's second-largest city, from 1920 to 1990 played a symbolic role as the temporary capital. This resulted from the fact that for a part of this period Lithuania had lost Vilnius due to a conflict with Poland.
The 15 years after the fall of communism brought to Lithuania not only the fruits of independence but also a host of identity problems. Intense discussions were aroused by the fortunes of sites in Vilnius and Kaunas that had symbolic importance for the national consciousness. The current urbanistic-architectural development of Vilnius first of all reflects the desire to implement the projects that the Lithuanians could not realize during the long decades of war and occupation. An extreme expression of these sentiments is embodied in the much-disputed endeavor to reconstruct the Renaissance Ducal Palace.
Though contemporary Lithuania and its national identity are more or less products of the twentieth century, the current state policy has given priority to the romantic symbols of the old Lithuanian Grand Duchy. The memorial sites in the temporary capital, especially the Resurrection Church, once a symbol of the nation's vital tenacity, were accorded a merely local significance. On the other hand, after 1990 Kaunas lost the real significance it once had in the Lithuanian consciousness as the temporary capital. Slowly but inevitably it is becoming a normal and free university city in a maturing civil society. 相似文献
Let Π1,…,Πk be k populations with Πi being Pareto with unknown scale parameter αi and known shape parameter βi;i=1,…,k. Suppose independent random samples (Xi1,…,Xin), i=1,…,k of equal size are drawn from each of k populations and let Xi denote the smallest observation of the ith sample. The population corresponding to the largest Xi is selected. We consider the problem of estimating the scale parameter of the selected population and obtain the uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator (UMVUE) when the shape parameters are assumed to be equal. An admissible class of linear estimators is derived. Further, a general inadmissibility result for the scale equivariant estimators is proved. 相似文献
