Резиме: У вријеме када је у већини земаља почео опоравак од економске кризе, еврозону је задесила дужничка криза. Да би се спријечило банкротство презадужених земаља и сачувала стабилност еврозоне и евра, креирани су механизми помоћи. Предуслови помоћи путем механизама креираних од стране земаља чланица eврозоне били су провођење оштрих мјера штедње. Услиједило је и усвајање Уговора о стабилности, координацији и управљању у циљу строжег поштовања фискалних критеријума из Мастрихта. Захтјеви за провођењем мјера штедње у супротности су са Кејнсовом централном поставком да је право вријеме за штедњу вријеме раста, а не вријеме кризе. У овом раду се настоји дати одговор на питање: да ли су предузете мјере штедње допринијеле паду реалног БДП-а у периоду 2010-2013. година? Регресиона анализа је проведена на узорку од 13 земаља еврозоне. Резултати анализе показују да су стопе раста реалног БДП-а у великој мјери узроковане предузетим мјерама штедње. Фискални мултипликатор износи 1,98 што значи да на сваки пораст штедње од 1%, реални БДП пада за 1,98%.Summary: At the time when most of the countries began to recover from economic crisis, sovereign debt crisis started in Eurozone. Eurozone members created mechanisms for assistance in order to prevent bankruptcy of heavily indebted countries and safeguard the stability of the Eurozone and the euro. Precondition for using the Eurozone mechanisms of assistance were appliance of strict austerity measures. This was followed by the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in order to have a more severe compliance of the Maastricht fiscal criteria.Requirements for implementation of austerity measures are contradictory to the Keynesian central preposition which says that the right time for austerity is the period of growth not period of crisis. This paper seeks to answer the question: Did austerity measures contributed to the decline of real GDP from 2010 to 2013?Regression analysis was conducted on a sample of 13 Eurozone countries. The results show that the growth rates of real GDP are largely caused by austerity measures. The fiscal multiplier of 1.98 indicates that the increase in savings of 1% leads to a fall of real GDP by 1.98%.

The Impact

This chapter investigates the impact of the Global Financial Crisis and the European Sovereign Debt Crisis in ETFs across regions and segments. In particular, two tests are taking place, with the first one to examine if there is evidence of contagion effect and the second one to test the affection of risks in each pair of ETFs. The evidence across the stable period and the two crisis periods suggests the existence of the transmission of shocks from the Global Financial ETF to regional and sectoral ETFs. However, there is evidence that some of the ETFs remain less unaffected during both crises and some of them are immune. Moreover, the authors examine the impact of several control variables, which represent various risks, to the correlation of each pair of ETFs and the results show the influence of the interest rate risk and interbank liquidity risk during the Global Financial Crisis and the European Sovereign Debt Crisis.

The Impact

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.
