The impact of the Information and Technology (IT) sector on the countries’ innovation development has been recognized as crucial in prior and recent research studies. Moreover, firms’ innovativeness affects positively countries’ economies. Nevertheless, the global economic crisis of the last decade constituted a significant barrier to the development of country economies and had a negative effect on firms’ performance. Specifically, the negative consequences of the global crisis became harder for Southern Europe Countries. More specifically the Greek economy was suffered by an extended period of crisis with harder consequences than those of other European countries. The main purpose of this study was to examine the financial performance of Greek IT firms in the early years of crisis. Our findings have been relevant to those of previous studies which observed negative effects of the financial recession on firms profitability.

This study aims to assess the impact of specific corporate and market features on the profitability of firms. More precisely, the variables examined for the purposes of this study are firms' size, financial leverage, accruals, volatility of profitability, growth rate of the Greek economy, the 10-year Greek government bond yield, and the Greek sovereign debt crisis. The empirical results exhibit an average profitability of 10.71%, which varies significantly both between firms and during the time period examined. Another finding of this study is the verification of the theoretical relationship between the above variables and Greek firms' profitability between 2004 and 2012. Whereas variables such as firms' size, volatility of profitability and accruals do not seem to affect firms' profitability in a statistically significant way, the signs of the coefficients are consistent with those found the literature review.

The dairy products sector in Greece is very important for the Greek economy because it is associated to the primary sector and also has a strong exportation orientation. The impact of the financial crisis was evident in the dairy industry also along with the other sectors of the economy. The objective of this study is to examine the effect of the Cash Conversion Cycle as measure of liquidity, on the Z-scores of three selected fresh milk firms in Greece. We examine the market leader fresh milk company “DELTA”, in comparison to a new (2011) innovative firm regarding its distribution channel “THESS GALA PIES”, founded in Larissa, and to another similar sized and locality to the latter firm “TRIKKI” as representatives of the whole fresh milk/dairy products industry. On all three companies two Altman solvency prediction models are used: (a) the Altman Z?-score (1983) model revised for non – publicly traded firms, and (b) the Altman ???-score (2000) model for firms operating in emerging markets. The regression analysis of the effect of the Cash Conversion Cycle on the Z-scores of both models for all entities showed that the two aforementioned sets of data are highly associated but the hypothesis of a linear relationship between them was rejected.

This study synthesizes the findings of the empirical literature available by means of meta-analyses of the impact of immigration on the Greek economy in order to detect whether consensus conclusions are emerging and whether differences in results across studies can be explained. For this purpose, the study recodes the contribution of migrants to the Greek economy and the labour market resulting from the available studies as benefiting or harming the Greek economy and native born, and estimates alternative probit and order probit models to assess the relationship between this observed impact and key study characteristics such as methodology, period of investigation, survey design, publication year etc. Even if the sample of studies available to generate comparable effect sizes remains severely limited by the heterogeneity in different approaches, the study shows that the contribution of immigrants in terms of economic growth, wages and employment is clearly positive, although rather relatively small.

In alignment with the European Union’s legislation, Greece submitted its final 10-year National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) in December 2019, setting more ambitious energy and climate targets than those originally proposed in the draft version of the document. Apart from higher penetration of renewable energy sources (RES), the final NECP projects also zero carbon use in power generation till 2030. Although decarbonization has long been regarded beneficial for economies that base their energy production on coal, as it is the case with Greece, the macroeconomic and societal ramifications of faster transitions to carbon-free economies remain highly unexplored. Under this context, in this paper, we soft-link energy models, namely Times-Greece and Primes, with a macroeconomic model, namely Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP), to measure the effects of the final and draft NECPs on the Greek economy and evaluate the impact of higher decarbonization speeds. We find that the faster transition scenario displays both economic and societal merits, increasing Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and household income by about 1% and 7%, respectively.

The aim of this paper is to calculate the impact of the reduction or elimination of net borrowing on the Greek economy. The assumption made for this calculation is that a reduction of net borrowing leads to a reduction of government consumption. The effects on the Greek economy of reducing borrowing are calculated by using the Social Accounting Matrix. The results show that a reduction of borrowing must be replaced by a significant increase in production and the resulting reductions relate primarily to sectors in which the state has sizeable participation, such as education, health, security, public administration and defence services.
