Those which joined the EU had to integrate with Western Europe on various levels, which had important implications for their equity price development during the subprime mortgage crisis. The aim of the paper is to analyze the developments in the stock markets of Eastern European countries before and during the subprime crisis and to evaluate the hypothesis of disappearing portfolio diversification opportunities in the region. Through the application of correlation analysis, Markowitz mean variance approach and portfolio optimisation strategy based on the Sharpe ratio, it is shown that diversification opportunities for a US investor in the Eastern European region have largely disappeared.

Investment potential of the state in general depends on the investment activity of all participants in the investment market; therefore managing investment potential will not be effective without the understanding of the investment market. This paper investigates the dynamics and structure of the investment resources available to Ukrainian enterprises. The main source of investment Ukrainian enterprises choose their own funds, which are the most expensive source of investment as formed by redistributing income from the activity, and the emission of equity securities. State and local budgets have little impact on improving the investment potential, because often intended to support "afloat" unprofitable state enterprises than the latest technological industries. In addition, corruption schemes and abuse of officials in the implementation of government projects do not contribute to the growth and improvement of investment attractiveness and the investment potential. Investments by residents of developed countries are essential to the development of Ukrainian enterprises, but their presence at the moment in the domestic investment market is negligible.

The paper analyses the effects and measures the intensity of economic cooperation that Serbia has achieved with the member countries of the Visegrad Group (V4 Group) from 2000 until today. The starting hypothesis is that the common cultural and historical heritage, the geographical proximity of the market and the common experience of the economic transition process can be an incentive for the development of economic cooperation between Serbia and the countries of the V4 Group. A gravity econometric model Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood (PPML) estimator was used to test the hypothesis. The results of the research confirm a significantly positive impact of the GDP of Serbia and the observed countries, a significantly negative impact of distance and a significantly positive effect of the neighbourhood on bilateral trade flows. Predictors related to the quality of institutions also have a significant positive effect on increasing bilateral trade cooperation between Serbia and the V4 Group.

Starting from Romania’s economy position on the global competitiveness scale (on which Romania dropped by ten places in the last year), the agri-food sector being an important economic driving factor of the economy, the paper attempts to identify certain sets of macroeconomic variables determining non-performant generation of value added (level and annual dynamics), which induced radical structural changes in the share of the main branches (agriculture, industry and construction) in the essential resources of the economy (employment, fixed capital stock and net investment) and in its results (gross value added). The first set of variables is of correlative type, at macro-economic level (energy intensity of the economy; “real wages – productivity” correlation; intra-component ratios of the consumer price index). The second type of variables is of sectoral type, at the agri-food economy level (disintegrative “double fracture”; upstream and downstream economic driving effects). The third set of performance reductive variables is of structural type, in the so-called “agri-food” chain (tri-dimensional structure of the agri-food chain – economic operators, employed persons and generated gross value added; average agri-food commercial openness). In the end, we also want to highlight the importance of the relations between businessman and institutions, as regulator and interface, the institutions and organizations which have attributes in investment field and contribute to the creation of the value added in economy. We must have in view that, based on the analysis of the contribution of the institutions to the forming of the business environment, taking into account the recommendations of the investors and their perception of the market, we can easily realize a profile of the economy. Always, the attitude of the investors can give us the measure of the maturity of the economy.

The article concentrates on the attempt to identify phases, turning points and the character of business cycle observed in Poland during 1995 - 2005. The switch-on and -off Markov models suggested by Hamilton (1989) have been applied. The obtained results indicate that during slowdown periods growth rate amounted to 2%, while during business prosperity the economy grew at the rate of 5.5% per year. Three cycles, in which similar cyclic changes in individual consumption, exports and imports as well as in inflation, have been discerned. When capital formation activities and unemployment rate are examined, the analysis points to the operation of only one cycle.

The article deals with areas of decision-making in local governments in the Czech Republic. It is specifically focused on proposing the agenda and decision-making mechanism. It asks the question of who comes up with an investment impulse, whether work meetings about investments are held before council meetings, and whether the size of the municipality is a determinant for an own decision-making mechanism. It turns out that the main actors in deciding on the key issues of municipalities are mayors. Their role is particularly important in smaller municipalities, while in big cities the range of actors involved in decision-making mechanisms is broader. Despite the fact that the management system of the local governments of Czech municipalities tends to be understood as collective, this may in practice not necessarily apply to small municipalities.

Even though the agriculture in Kujawsko-Pomorskie voivodship is well developed, around 41 thousand farmers and members of their families should go through the process of vocational reorientation. Researches conducted show that mainly farm owners of 5–30 ha and their families are ready to undertake the reorientation. Meanwhile, the farmers from the smallest farms (up to 5ha) show low interest in vocational reorientation. They are usually elder farmers with low qualifications and low mobility whose strategy is to survive. Individual Vocational Reorientation Plan (IPRZ) determines actions which should be undertaken in order to change the occupation and presents the way it should be achieved. Vocational specialized courses organized by KPODR on the bases of IPRZ’s analysis are characterized with high effectiveness. It should be highlighted that the Project’s beneficiaries, 253 people (27% participants of the courses) have undertaken job activity out of agriculture sector.

Direct foreign investments create an inseparable part of international economy. The core of all 'FDIs' lies in the transfer of foreign investor's both tangible and intangible assets from one country to another country with the aim of use of these assets in a host state, while bearing in mind the main goal to gain the profit. Simultaneously, the owner of the FDI will retain the whole or at least the partial control over transferred assets, located in the host state. The article submitted focuses on a small aspect of the puzzle of how the international investment arbitration interacts with bilateral investment treaties, or so called 'BITs'. Specifically, it will consider the development as well as the current position of BITs while focusing on one of the most important BIT's provision, namely, the settlement of investment disputes. First, the article provides a background on the definition of foreign investments together with the short characteristics of the foreign investment under the rules that have crystallized over the years. Secondly, the article will address an issue of risk in foreign investments, spreading before the reader several categories of risk investors have to cope up with when investing abroad. The article then analyses the issue of the state's responsibility when actively participating in international trade, dividing between public acts of the state and its purely commercial and private acts. After defining an international investment dispute, the article then incorporates basic features of investment arbitration, stressing out the complicated matter of the state's capability to be the party in the arbitration agreement. The article then gathers the basic characteristics of the BITs, going back awhile to the era of the first FCN concluded in the USA, continuing with the description of modern BITs. In addition, the article ultimately comments on the current controversial doctrines regarding the role of the BITs in international investment and the progress of less developed host states. Finally, it develops a model formula, laying down the circle of interconnected relationships between multinational corporations, foreign direct investments, the international investment arbitration and the international public law. At the very end, the article suggests a reasonably considered role of the BITs and its influence on the international foreign investment law.
