Ως στόχος εκπόνησης της παρούσας διδακτορικής διατριβής τέθηκε η διερεύνηση συγκεκριμένων θεμάτων όπως η επίδραση της συμβατικής και μη-συμβατικής Νομισματικής Πολιτικής της Ευρωπαϊκής Κεντρικής Τράπεζας (ΕΚΤ) σε σημαντικούς δείκτες οικονομικής δραστηριότητας, όπως τραπεζικά μετοχικά χαρτοφυλάκια, δείκτες ανισότητας εισοδήματος και δείκτες οικονομικής αβεβαιότητας, καλύπτοντας σημαντικές πτυχές της οικονομίας και χρονικές περιόδους, όπως αυτή της παγκόσμιας χρηματοοικονομικής ύφεσης τους έτους 2008. Η παγκόσμια χρηματοπιστωτική κρίση εισήγαγε την εφαρμογή μέτρων μη-συμβατικής Νομισματικής Πολιτικής, καθώς η επίδραση των συμβατικών μέτρων άσκησης της Νομισματικής Πολιτικής είχε πιο αδύναμο αντίκτυπο στην διαμόρφωση των χρηματοοικονομικών συνθήκων της οικονομίας. Καθώς η ανταπόκριση μεταξύ των χωρών της Κεντρικής και της Περιφερειακής Ευρωζώνης ήταν διαφορετική όσον αφορά την παγκόσμια χρηματοοικονομική κρίση, επιχειρείται να διερευνηθεί και η ύπαρξη διαφορετικών μοτίβων μεταξύ των Κεντρικών και Περιφερειακών χωρών.Αρχικά, το πρώτο κεφάλαιο περιγράφει τα μέτρα μη-συμβατικής Νομισματικής Πολιτικής που ακολουθήθηκαν λόγω της παγκόσμιας χρηματοοικονομικής ύφεσης. Στην συνέχεια, το δεύτερο κεφάλαιο συζητά την βιβλιογραφία σχετικά με την ΕΚΤ και την άσκηση της Νομισματικής Πολιτικής στην Ευρωζώνη. Ακολούθως, το τρίτο κεφάλαιο εξετάζει εμπειρικά την αντίδραση τραπεζικών μετοχικών χαρτοφυλακίων πέντε Κεντρικών και επτά Περιφερειακών αγορών της Ευρωζώνης τόσο στις ανακοινώσεις της ΕΚΤ, όσο και στις αντίστοιχες της Ομοσπονδιακής Τράπεζας των ΗΠΑ που ήταν σχετιζόμενες με την διεξαγωγή της μη-συμβατικής Νομισματικής Πολιτικής. Εν συνεχεία, το τέταρτο κεφάλαιο εξετάζει την επίδραση της Νομισματικής Πολιτικής της ΕΚΤ στην ανισότητα εισοδήματος στο σύνολο της Ευρωζώνης, αλλά και σε επιλεγμένες χώρες ξεχωριστά. Αξιοποιείται ένα δείγμα τριών χωρών που ανήκουν στην Κεντρική Ευρωζώνη και πέντε χωρών της Περιφέρειας και σε αντίθεση με τις προηγούμενες μελέτες δεν εξετάζεται μόνο το σύνολο του πληθυσμού, αλλά εξετάζονται ξεχωριστά εμπειρικά μοντέλα με βάση το φύλο. Έπειτα, το πέμπτο κεφάλαιο διερευνά πιθανές πηγές οικονομικής αβεβαιότητας στις χώρες της Ευρωζώνης με έμφαση στην σχέση μεταξύ της Νομισματικής Πολιτικής της ΕΚΤ και της οικονομικής αβεβαιότητας. Η εμπειρική μελέτη βασίζεται σε ένα δείγμα τεσσάρων χωρών της Κεντρικής Ευρωζώνης και τεσσάρων χωρών της Περιφέρειας και εξετάζεται τόσο το σύνολο του δείγματος, όσο και κάθε χώρα ξεχωριστά με την χρήση ενός μεγάλου αριθμού μεταβλητών που προσφέρει αξιοσημείωτη πληροφόρηση. Τέλος, το έκτο και τελευταίο κεφάλαιο παρουσιάζει τα κύρια συμπεράσματα που προέκυψαν από την διατριβή.

This study explores the impact of mandatory adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in developing countries on business leaders’ perceptions of the overall accounting and financial environment. The study employs survey data from the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report to gauge business leaders’ perceptions of the accounting and financial environment. Eight countries across Latin America, Africa, and Asia comprise case studies, all of whom recently adopted mandatory IFRS use for publicly listed companies. Each survey variable is tracked over time, comparing pre and post IFRS adoption, vis-à-vis the same variable in a control country that did not adopt IFRS. IFRS adoption shows mostly positive impacts on the accounting environment in four cases. The impact of adoption in the other three countries is mostly insignificant. These results should encourage policymakers in developing countries to improve auditing and enforcement practices to increase the likelihood of positive results from IFRS adoption.

The article covers the problems of the functioning of the banking sector of Ukraine during 2018-2021, as one of the main sectors of the financial market and the national economy as a whole. When analyzing the state of the banking sector, regularities and general trends in the functioning of the banking sector of Ukraine have been established, and appropriate calculations have been made. The impact of global financial crises on the activities of banking structures, which must operate in conditions of constant financial instability, is described. Today, the whole world, including Ukraine, is on the verge of a global financial and economic crisis. This raises the question of whether Ukrainian banks have the necessary margin of resilience to vulnerabilities to the financial and economic crisis. In recent years, the functioning and development of the banking system has been characterized by increased financial stability, the level of bank capitalization, liquidity, some improvement in asset quality, reducing risks in banking, as well as the presence of positive structural changes. Today, Ukraine's banking system operates in a complex socio-economic and legal environment, most of which - macroeconomic instability, irrational structure of the industrial complex, the crisis of science and technology, imperfect fiscal and monetary policy, low level of effective demand - complicate sustainable development banking sector and increase competitiveness. In conditions of instability, intensification of turbulent processes, the development of the banking system requires new innovative approaches to determining the mechanisms of effective functioning and stable development based on a system-synergetic approach, which led to the choice and relevance of the chosen topic of this scientific article. Efficiency of banks is a multicomponent, multifaceted, multidimensional system characteristic that depends on many factors and is an effective indicator of performance of functions and achievement of goals and objectives of banks development provided financial stability based on financial stability and dynamic balance, achievement of multiplicative and synergistic effects.

In the article, the author considers the main aspects of the impact of goodwill on the financial stability of banks. It is substantiated that among the numerous threats that lead to financially unstable development of the banking business, a special place should be given to the support of banks’ business reputation. The main reasons are the phenomena of financial instability caused not only by the cyclical development of the economy, but also the ability to take into account a certain state in which the financial system is able to: effectively allocate resources, assess and manage financial risks, absorb shocks. It is proved that the relationship between business reputation and financial stability is determined by the characteristics of the conceptual apparatus; the system of risks to which they are exposed in the course of their activities; methodical approaches to assessing their level. The author concludes that the key challenges for the banking business in the context of digital transformation should be considered from the standpoint of customer interests, from the standpoint of investors (owners) of the banking business and from the standpoint of the regulator. In today’s realities, when the systemic banking crisis has imposed on a large-scale economic, the decisive factor for success and continued activity in the market is the quality of business reputation. The methods of quantitative assessment of the bank’s business reputation include balance-normative, methods of additional and excess profits, methods of royalties and residual value, the method of rating and comprehensive assessment. It is proved that the level of business reputation is related to the life cycle of banks, which includes the stages of formation, growth, maturity and decline. Measures to ensure business reputation depending on the stage of development of the bank are considered. Both the business reputation and financial stability are affected by the established image of the bank. The article states that a positive image is able to maintain the bank in times of financial instability. It is determined that depending on the group of users (non-financial corporations, households, government agencies or social organizations) the image of the bank should be different and meet all requirements.It is determined that a modern bank is not only an institution of the financial market, but also a financial institution for which social role and reputation in social and economic relations become the primary criteria for ensuring their competitive position.

The recent global financial crisis and the subsequent recession have revitalized the discussion on causal interactions between financial and economic sectors. In this study, I apply the financial stress and the national activity indices–respectively developed by Federal Reserve Banks of Kansas City and Chicago–to investigate the impact of financial uncertainty on an overall economic performance. I examine nonlinear dynamics in a vector smooth transition autoregressive framework, and illustrate regime-dependent asymmetries in the financial and economic indices using the generalized impulse-response functions. The results reveal more amplified dynamics during the stressed conditions. I further evaluate benefits of nonlinear modeling in an out-of-sample setting. The forecasting exercise brings out the important advantages that nonlinear modeling provides in the identification of the causal effect of financial instability on overall economic performance.

The dramatic change in the western world's economic environment is characterised by lower inflation, unserviceable indebtedness, lower commodity prices, greater environmental awareness and a complete readjustment of values and bank lending policies as an era of greater financial conservatism develops. An understanding of this historic turning point in economic developments, especially in Australia, brings into question many established concepts of management of our agricultural resources. This paper questions whether these changes demand a more dramatic rethink of the management of our western lands to ensure that the economic imperative of profit (the driving force for private occupancy of pastoral areas) can sit comfortably with the environmental responsibility being increasingly demanded by society.

The world is full of financial risks and uncertainties even for those who have financial literacy. There are many factors to consider when planning financially: the stock market, hyperinflation, and climate change all play roles and are unpredictable. This chapter will focus on the actions that are being taken to establish financial literacy across the world and the impact these actions have on individual financial stability. Although financial literacy certainly cannot eliminate the risks and uncertainties that accompany unforeseen events, it is one way to prepare for these events. Even in times of normalcy, lack of financial literacy can put individuals at an increased risk of financial instability. This chapter presents a variety of recommendations and resources for financial literacy education as well as the risks and uncertainties that accompany their use.

<p><em>Despite the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) initiatives to encourage banks to extend their services and facilities to rural areas, a high percentage of the rural dwellers still remain unbanked and as such, the initiatives appear not to promote financial inclusion services among the poor in Nigeria. As a result, small entrepreneurs often lack enabling financial environment to grow. The study undertakes an empirical analysis of the impact of microfinance in promoting financial inclusion in Nigeria between 1990 and 2014 using OLS regression method. Unit root test was conducted on the variables to examine their level of stationary to avoid spurious regression results. The findings showed that minimum deposit amount have a positive and significant relationship with saving. It was observed that access to microfinance minimum deposit amount has significant effect on savings account opened by rural dwellers. Microfinance interest rate was however found to have a negative and insignificant relationship with the rural dwellers loans and advances.</em><em> </em><em>Recommendations were made among which are that Government should facilitate microfinance branches close to the rural area, products and services accessible to a large segment of the potentially productive Nigeria population, who are currently not being served by the formal financial sector.</em></p>
