The evaluation of the hidden economy involves major difficulties related to the use of an adequate methodology and to ensuring the necessary database for estimating some econometric models and some economic variables. The studies conducted showed that the size and forms of the informal economy...

This paper presents an analysis of some issues related to the corruption and performance of services in the public health. Reform of public health is a complex and lengthy process, which involves different types of institutions and individuals. In this paper, starting from a set of hypotheses,...

The paper investigates some features of the corruption in the public administration in a country, which is in the process of integrating into the new structures of the European Union. We estimated the parameters of a regression model that analyses factors like political system pressure,...

This paper presents a number of issues related to the mobility of civil servants and to the politicizing the civil service in Romania in the period 2000-2010. Analysis of the politicization phenomenon has allowed identification of three stages: 2000-2004, 2005-2008 and 2009-present. Application...

The main issues in the informal economy domain are related to its definition, quantification, its position at the level of national economy and the application of econometric models to quantify its effects on economic and social development, at national and regional level. In order to evaluate...

In this paper we develop algorithms to solve macro econometric models with forward-looking variables based on Newton method for nonlinear systems of equations. The most difficult step for New-ton methods represents the resolution of a large linear system for each iteration. Thus, we compare the...
