This paper constructs a quarterly inflation model for Croatia, using the general-to-specific approach to model inflation dynamics. A two-step procedure is followed. First, we conduct a long-run sectoral analysis of inflation sources, yielding long-run determinants of inflation: markup, excess...

The aim of this paper is to construct a quarterly inflation model for Croatia. In order to model inflation dynamics se use the general-to-specific approach. The advantage of this approach is its ability to deliver results based on underlying economic theories of inflation, which are also...

The paper provides analysis of foreign direct investment (FDI) dynamics and its determinants for the group of countries lately referred to as Western Balkans (non-EU ex-Yugoslavia countries plus Albania). Due to vulnerable external positions and enhanced funding requirements related to the EU...

In this paper we asses the ability of alternative time series models to produce accurate fiscal revenue forecasts in a transition country and compare them to offi cial forecast. We take on a disaggregated approach and estimate separate models for seven revenue sources. Alternative time series...
