Abstract
Using the theoretical framework of Robert M. Solow’s growth accounting, the paper examines the effects of the shadow economy on the growth of each factor of production and overall GDP per-capita for 44 countries from 1990 through 2018. The measurements for the size of the informal sector are obtained from Elgin et al. (2021). In particular, this paper relies mainly on the Dynamic...

The variables I use are monthly log prices of national stock market indices and 10-year government bonds yields as proxies for long-term interest rates. The dataset covers the period...
This cross-disciplinary paper aims to explore the use of Data Science when it comes to the process of planning the development of cities across Spain and compare it to the one in other European countries. It will also base some of its arguments on the trends of the urbanization process in Spain and Europe. By examining various data-driven strategies and the importance of better planned cities,...
This paper investigates the extent to which monetary policy decisions by the European Central Bank affect non-Eurozone EU members, in comparison to the actions of domestic central banks. More specifically, it focuses on the countries that neither use the euro, nor is their currency pegged to it, i.e., Poland, Hungary, Czechia, Romania, and Sweden (which I refer to as ‘periphery countries’)....
