This paper examines the factors that influence the four most common measures of global value chain participation, separately for the sample of countries included in the World Input&ndash;Output Database and Trade in Value-Added database. For both samples, country size is an important driver of global value chain indicators. Participation in global value chains varies by industry groups and their technological classification. The influence is strongest for high-tech manufacturing, followed by high-tech services. Real exchange rate has a&nbsp;significant positive relationship with the domestic value added in gross exports ratio and forward linkage. The findings on the other covariates are sample sensitive.

This paper examines the impact of the global financial crisis on firm exit and corporate deleveraging in Slovenia during 2008‒2014 using firm-level data. Firms are classified according to whether they increased their leverage, decreased their leverage or ceased operation during the specified time interval, and the likelihood of being in these three states are estimated. Deleveraging likelihood is analyzed separately for total debt, business-to-business debt, bank debt, and non-bank financial debt. The empirical exercise shows that the influence of covariates on firm exit was different from that on deleveraging, and the impact on deleveraging differed between different types of debt. © 2021 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

This paper examines the nature of inter-ethnic relations in North Macedonia drawing on the 2008 European Quality of Life Survey. Ceteris paribus, the self-declared level of subjective well-being is smaller among ethnic Albanians than among Macedonians. In the presence of relative income variables, subjective well-being among both ethnic groups is not significantly associated with their absolute income. The subjective well-being of ethnic Albanians is significantly associated with their income relative to Macedonians. However, the subjective well-being of Macedonians is not affected by income relative to ethnic Albanians. The results suggest that measures are needed to reduce income inequality between ethnic groups. © 2021 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Based on intraday high-frequency data, this paper investigates the effect of sterilized interventions on the Slovak koruna/euro exchange rate for different time windows during a period that coincides with Slovakia’s preparation for EU accession and euro adoption. Results confirm a significant relationship between intervention and exchange rate change. The maximum effect of intervention is reflected in the exchange rate change within a couple of hours, and the effect over longer time windows weakens only gradually. The initial impact of sale interventions is stronger than that of purchase interventions. © 2017, Association for Comparative Economic Studies.

In a departure from most studies, this paper examines in a multivariate context the influence of both the exchange rate and structural factors on China's trade balance vis-à-vis selected partner countries. Structural change is proxied by the evolution of the labour skill composition of trade. The empirical findings indicate that China's large trade surplus cannot be attributed to exchange rate policy alone. The large persistent trade surplus also reflects improvement in non-price competitiveness arising from the fact that China's exports are rising up the skill ladder and imports are moving down the skill ladder. © 2017 Association for Comparative Economic Studies.
