Amid the controversies around the optimisation criteria and the objective functions when applying mathematical methods in economics, we proposed a method of quantifying a multi-criteria optimum, called critical distance method. The demonstration of this method is exemplified by assessing the...

A balanced economic development is essentially based on self-financing of investment cycle. The efficient use of energy resources and raw materials could rise by increasing the renewal of fixed capital, which is meaning also a shift to a higher technological level. From this correlation is...

In this paper we proposed a model deriving from physics laws, which are associated to the investments impact upon the economic system potential. Defining several physics fundamental dimensions and starting from a series of assumptions, we tried to find their possible economic meaning and...

The study focused on the early stage of Romania’s transition to the market economy during 1990-1992, based on statistical data available at that time. Because of the inherited structural distortions, the persistence of strong forces of inertia and the incoherence of economic and monetary...

The main objective of Romania’s post-accession strategy stands for the convergence with the EU Member States. If the nominal convergence (low inflation rate, stability of the exchange and interest rates, contained public debt) seems more easily to be achieved, the real convergence is supposed...

Based on more recent research and evidence, including declassified information regarding the communist period in Romania, the study focuses on examining the 1980s foreign debt crisis context, its determinants and consequences, the impact of internal and external factors, intending to provide an...
