Lines of Acanthoscelides obtectus that had been selected for either early- or late-life fitness components were compared with respect to early-life mating behavior of both females and males. Early-life mating frequencies and mating speed of both sexes, as well as female remating rates, were...

Data from selected Lower Pontian sandstone reservoir in the Kloštar Field, situated in the Sava Depression (Northern Croatia), were used for mapping with Sequential Indicator Simulations rather than using a classical approach. Such approaches offer better insight in distribution of geological...

The article attempts to quantify determinants influencing the dynamics of employment decisions on agricultural holdings in Slovenia and to test specific aspects of labor reallocation during the transition period by the application of an agricultural household model. Through the use of a...

Recent studies of search theory examine how employers use a wage-setting mechanism - either by bargaining or through the posting of a non-negotiable wage offer in a job ad - to facilitate search. We contribute to this literature by examining wage posting in job ads in the US, the UK, and...

An analysis of US and Slovenian vacancy data sets reveals that an employer who is searching to fill a job vacancy is more likely to fill the vacancy by hiring an under-qualified worker when the search costs are higher; when, at the start of the search, the employer has less time to search at low...

This article uses the European Patent Office Worldwide Patent Statistical Database to examine the geographic distribution and global diffusion of inventions in thirteen climate-mitigation technologies since 1978. The data suggest that until 1990 innovation was driven mostly by energy prices....

The goal of this article is to discover binding constraints to economic growth in Croatia relating to government. Following a growth diagnostics framework, we limit our analysis to government size and efficiency as potential constraints to growth. We calculate the optimal size of government and...

In this article, we search for the evidence of intraweek and intraday anomalies on the spot foreign exchange (FOREX) market. Having in mind the international scope of this market, empirical evidence against market efficiency (i.e. market anomalies) will have important consequences for the...

"In this paper we try to explain why the economic and political transition in Germany after World War II was successful, and why the transition in post-communist Slovenia was not. We analyse interactions between political markets and economies in both countries. The differences between the two...
