To continue, this study aims to determine the effects of trade and other factors on women’s employment in three distinct sectors (i.e., agriculture, industry, and service). From 1991 to 2021, we analyzed data from eight SAARC countries. The study’s theoretical foundation was the Cobb–Douglas production function. To better understand the connections between trade liberalization and the SAARC labor market, this paper used panel quantile regression (QR) and generalized method of moments (GMM) to empirically explore the key determinants of female employment in total and three sub-sectors. The QR method was used in the study because it looks at how variables affect each other beyond the data mean. Additionally, our data set does not follow a normal distribution, and the connection between the e...

It’s also presented the dynamics of investments in total expenditure at the country level and the evolution of investments at the most important branches of the economy and it’s also shows the origin of investments (local or foreign). It’s also achieved a ranking of Romanian development regions which have made the biggest foreign investments and the countries that have invested the most in our country in the last years.

We analysed information presented in official documents, including strategies, integrated urban development plans (IUDP) for the programming period 2007-2013, project presentations and other documents. We set to focus our analysis on endeavours of the local public authorities to apply the human and digital intelligence in planning development of the respective cities. The research interest focused on identifying whether becoming smart city is part of strategic planning, either as strategic objective or as specific project as part of another objective meant to contribute to overall urban development. The analysis on the availability of local authorities from Romanian growth poles to take up in their planning endeavours aspects related to human and digital intelligence that Romanian growth poles do not seem to explicitly envision themselves as smart cities, with no explicit reference being made to ”smart city” in their visions. One could nevertheless notice that the dimension related to human intelligence is present in the visions, with some growth poles - Timi?oara and Cluj-Napoca - making reference also to technological intelligence that is to be taken into account for economic development of the respective growth poles. These two growth poles are the two most advanced economically of the seven growth poles. Of theses seven, we argued that Brasov stands out as the one that showed more awareness and interest in becoming a smart city, as its IUDP included a policy towards development of information society, reflected in two programs and several projects that converged towards development of integrated data management systems in the local authority, in order to improve access to public information and to management of several public services provided by the local authorities. Thus, it is more advanced in its endeavours towards becoming a smart city, as their coherent actions that followed the initial planning proved. The other growth poles took into account specific interventions, through projects, which involved mostly technological intelligence.

Taking into account the weather-solar conditions in Romania, the use of this form of energy is cost-efficient for both domestic heating, or for obtaining domestic hot water. The solar receptors run within time interval from March to October, with good yield and requiring relatively reduced investment. It is also expected the obtaining of electrical energy from the solar photovoltaic stations, but in this case investments will be much larger. Granting of green certificates, as legal rights for investors and/or of subsidies, facilitates both Romanian and foreign investments in this energetic field. Thus, Romania will be fitted over the next few years in the European Union directives for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

In this study, we analyzed the main problems that encounters the heating system of Bucharest city, and the relationship between the issues that encounters RADET in terms of ensuring quality services and the options for rehabilitation of heating system in the Bucharest municipality . Was also studied the value of investments that should be done in order to implement the rehabilitation and modernization strategy of the entire heating system of Bucharest city.

In doing it so indicators, such as: distribution of the employees according to each region and turnover in the industrial field, the spreading of the industries, the distribution of brands in industry, the coefficient of variation in the number of brands in industry, their size etc. are considered. The used methodology aims at pointing up the competitive advantages of each of the eight development regions, through the analysis of all subsectors of industry: mining, manufacturing industry, production and supply of electricity and heat, gas, hot water and air conditioning, water supply, waste management, cleaning, decontamination activities. The effect of the restructuring process within development regions is also presented here, the most affected being the mono industrial ones. The analysis leads to the conclusion that the territorial development of the Romanian industry reveals significant differences from one region to another due to the first level of accessibility, the existence of a qualified labour force and that of public services of general interest. In the past 20 years, all regions have been affected by the restructuring process of the economy, witnessing both ascending and declining evolutions in the estimated indicators.

The 10 indicators and targets associated with SDG 11 are taken into account from the point of view of the evolution recorded by Romania in the period 2010-2020. This exploratory study aims to analyse secondary data collected from the Eurostat platform dedicated to SDG-related indicators. Thus, we aim to track the extent to which Romania has progressed toward achieving each target associated with SDG 11 and to identify the target(s) for which progress has been most significant.
