For qualitative analysis of the effect of specific activities, such as banking, on other movements in this sector, precise measuring is needed. Due to the transformation of the banking sector in the Republic of Serbia, in a relatively short period of time, there has been a significant reduction in the number of banks and in increasing the concentration. On the other hand, the business efficiency has become a key factor for the survival of banks in the market. In this study, the concentration was measured by Herfindahl-HirschamIndex, while the degree of efficiency was determined by cost to income ratio. A linear correlation and regression analysis examined the relationship between the degree of concentration and the level of efficiency of Serbian banking sector in the time interval from 2008 to 2015, which confirmed the existence of a strong relationship between these variables.

Abstract. The purpose of the research was to assess the duration of the length of productive life of Simmental cows. Methods. The research was carried out on Simmental cows bred in 14 regions of the Russian Federation, the total livestock was 8 832 heads. The calculation of the heritability coefficients and correlation (genetic and paratypic) was carried out by using the programs RENUMF90 and REMLF90. Results. A fairly strong relationship was established between the duration of a productive life (months) and the age of culling (lactations) r = +0.795, the length of productive life (months) and lifetime productivity within the range of +0.669…+0.714. However, the relationship between the age of culling (lactations) and lifetime productivity is moderate, from +0.261 to +0.316. A moderate negative relationship was obtained between the age of culling (lactations) and milk yield per first lactation from –0.472 to –0.486. The average relationship was found between milk yield per first lactation and lifetime productivity from +0.567 to +0.588. Cows of the Altai Territory (3.08 lactations or 61.6 months), the Republic of Mordovia (3.38 lactations or 62.4 months) and the Lipetsk region (3.40 lactations or 65.7 months) were distinguished by low age of culling. While the greatest length of productive life was noted in animals and Bryansk (5.48 lactations or 86.9 months) and Irkutsk regions (4.57 lactations or 77.1 months). Bryansk (23 630 kg of milk), Tyumen (18 156 kg) and Irkutsk (17 751 kg) regions occupied the leading positions in lifetime productivity of cows in the sample, while the outsiders were the regions of traditional cattle breeding - Altai Territory (12658 kg of milk), the Republic of Bashkiria (12 482 kg). Scientific novelty. For the population Simmental cattle of the Russian Federation, for the first time, an assessment of selection and genetic parameters of lifelong productivity and length of productive life of Simmental cows was carried out, depending on the breeding region.

Abstract Dividend policy is one of the most controversial areas of corporate finance. The paper presents the results of the research in the banking sector of the Republic of Serbia. The specific characteristics of the financial sector make the research on dividend policy determinants additionally complex. This study aims to determine the factors of dividend policy in the Serbian banking sector in the period 2009–2018. The model of random effects was chosen to test the relationship between dividend determinants and dividend payout. Empirical results show that previous years’ dividends have a significant positive effect on dividend policy. Individual investors can benefit from the research to a great extent, as well as bank managers, when creating dividend policies that would contribute to maximising profit and satisfying the needs of employees and shareholders in the long run.

This study aimed to explore the cross-section of digitalization and sustainability in banking and its effect on bank performance. The sample consisted of all of the banks (n = 25) operating in the Republic of Serbia from 2011 to 2020. The research results show that the banks focusing on digitalization and sustainability are profitable, even in the face of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Furthermore, using the Pearson’s correlation, the study shows that the level of investment in digital transformation has a strong relationship with the net result. We advocate that digitainability in banking is an important factor in uncertain times and should be fostered and included in bank strategies in the post-COVID 19 world. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that provides insight into digitainability and bank performance.

Banks perform an economic activity that is based on principles similar to those of an ordinary business. Banking activity includes the acceptance of deposits of individuals, firms, etc. As a result of the major needs and demands of the economy, household credit, with pertaining high interest rates, the banking sector dynamics experienced a high development. This progress has emerged since the establishment of relations between these banks and individuals by creating a particular system of rights as the law of banking, the focus of which is in the relationship between banks and customers. This kind of relationship is focused on banking contract. Various problems that have emerged from the effect of agreements between parties have brought the need for rating this field of law. Except the provisions provided in the Civil Code about the banking contract, specific laws for the regulation of this relation were approved. As instance could be mentioned the Law on Banks in the Republic of Albania and the normative framework that addresses the whole activity of banks in the territory, upon which the Albanian state has sovereignty. Specific treatment is required about the relations of banks with the customers, where may arise major legal and economic difficulties, because banks are major monetary formations
