CĂRŢI NOI ALE MEMBRILOR ACADEMIEI ROMÂNE 2008

Coordonator: Aurel IANCU

Lucrarea abordează problemele convergenţei economice la nivelul UE într-o triplă viziune: 1) convergenta economica este privita ca un proces al integrarii in UE a tarilor si regiunilor componente; 2) convergenta este un proces ce se realizeaza pe cele trei axe principale - institutionala, economia nominala si economia reala; 3) ajungerea din urma a tarilor si regiunilor dezvoltate europene de catre noile tari membre care au aderat la UE in acest deceniu. Aceste aspecte formeaza obiectul de studiu al primei parti a lucrarii.

Cea de-a doua parte este dedicata analizei unor factori determinanti ai accelerarii convergentei cum sunt: fluxurile libere de capital, dezvoltarea si folosirea capitalului uman, precum si stimularea cercetarii stiintifice si dezvoltarii tehnologice si inovarii.

La efectuarea analizelor si testarea diferitelor ipoteze si tendinte se foloseste un aparat metodologic care asigura acuratetea calculelor si concluziilor. Lucrarea se adreseaza specialistilor interesati in problemele cresterii economice si ale integrarii europene (decidenti, cercetatori, profesori, studenti).

The work approaches the EU economic convergence issues from three angles: 1) the economic convergence is a process of integration of the countries and regions into the EU; 2) the convergence that follows three main axes: institutional axis, nominal economy axis and real economy axis; 3) the catching-up with the European developed countries and regions by the countries which joined the EU in the last decade. These issues form the object of the first part of the work.

The second part includes the analysis of some determinants of the convergence speeding-up, such as: free capital flows, human capital development and utilisation, as well as the stimulation of the scientific research, technological development and innovation.

A methodological apparatus able to ensure the computation accuracy was used for the analysis and testing of the hypotheses and trends.The work is addressed to the specialists interested in the economic growth and European integration (decision-makers, researchers, professors, students).
