MAKROEKONOMSKE DETERMINANTE RASTA I SVETSKA EKONOMSKO-FINANSIJSKA KRIZA
Mere ekonomske politike u uslovima svetske ekonomsko-finansijske krize ne smeju biti univerzalnog karaktera. Specifičnosti kao i razlike koje postoje između privrednih sistema trebalo bi da rezultiraju i posebnim rešenjima prilikom kreiranja ekonomske politike. U radu su prvo analizirane makroekonomske veličine koje utiču na privredni rast i razvoj. Potom su analizirane specifičnosti zemalja regiona CEEC-5 u periodu 1993-2007. godina. Ekonometrijskom analizom, uz pomoć dinamičkog panel modela – GMM, ocenjen je uticaj realnih i monetarnih determinanti na privredni rast i razvoj celokupnog regiona, dok je deskriptivna statisika pružila mogućnost sagledavanja specifičnosti zemalja unutar regiona pojedinačno. Različite specifičnosti zemalja i različiti uticaji makroekonomskih veličina na rast ovih privreda imale su za rezultat i različite posledice efekata svetske ekonomsko-finansijske krize. Na kraju je analiza primenjenih mera ekonomske politike pomenute grupe zemalja pružila dobru osnovu za kreiranje ekonomske politike u privredi Srbije. U fokusu analize nalazi se realni sektor privrede i reakcije na svetsku ekonomsku krizu poslednjih godina.
