Provides a multidisciplinary and systematic analysis of the concept of fiscal consolidations. This book discusses the concept, suggesting that fiscal adjustment can be in trade-off with economic growth if certain conditions are met. Fiscal consolidation has significant short term costs which dampen economic growth. This widely shared consensus in literature on political economy makes fiscal adjustment highly unpopular. Benczes conducts a systematic analysis to find out whether it is possible to have fiscal consolidation and experience economic growth even in the short run.The book provides a clear, multidisciplinary and systematic analysis of the relatively new concept of the so-called expansionary fiscal consolidations. This concept suggests that fiscal adjustment can be in trade-off with economic growth if certain conditions are met. But why do only a few countries and only at certain times experience the expansionary effects, while others not at all? The necessary conditions and circumstances have been totally neglected in the literature, or analyzed only partially at best.Having evolved a theoretical framework, it is tested on a difficult case: Hungary, which has had the highest deficit in the European Union. The main question was whether Hungary has a chance to experience short term growth effects in times of adjustment. ----- Contents: List of Figures List of Tables Acknowledgements 1.

A cikk célja a termelési stratégia dinamikájának vizsgálata a termelési versenytényezők fontosság-teljesítmény illeszkedése szempontjából. Az empirikus elemzéshez két nemzetközi adatbázist használtunk fel. Eredményeink alapján a magas szintű üzleti teljesítmény elérése érdekében a vállalatoknak agilis stratégiát kell kialakítaniuk, és gyorsan kell reagálniuk a vevői igények változására. A versenytényezők fontosságának és teljesítményének megfelelő illeszkedésére törekvő vállalatok nagyobb valószínűséggel érnek el jobb üzleti teljesítményt. A fontosság-teljesítmény illeszkedés javításának longitudinális elemzése támogatja mind az egymásra épülő képességek, mind pedig az átváltások elméletét, azaz összességében az integrált modellt. _________ This paper aims to explore the dynamics of manufacturing strategy from the perspective of the importance-performance fit of manufacturing competitive factors. For the empirical research two different international databases are used. Results of our study suggest that in order to reach high business performance, manufacturing companies need to develop agile strategies and react quickly to changes in customer preferences. Companies aiming to maintain a proper importance-performance fit of competitive factors are more likely to reach higher business performances. The longitudinal analysis of importance-performance fit improvement provides support for both the cumulative capabilities and the trade-off theory, i.e. the integrative model.

A szerző az alkalmazott többszektoros modellezés területén a lineáris programozási modellektől a számszerűsített általános egyensúlyi modellekig végbement változásokat tekinti át. Egy rövid történeti visszapillantás után a lineáris programozás módszereire épülő nemzetgazdasági szintű modellekkel összevetve mutatja be az általános egyensúlyi modellek közös, illetve eltérő jellemzőit. Egyidejűleg azt is érzékelteti, hogyan lehet az általános egyensúlyi modelleket a gazdaságpolitikai célok konzisztenciájának, a célok közötti átváltási lehetőségek elemzésére és általában a gazdaságpolitikai elképzelések érzékenységi vizsgálatára felhasználni. A szerző az elméleti-módszertani kérdések taglalását számszerűsített általános egyensúlyi modell segítségével illusztrálja. _______ The author surveys the changes having taken place in the field of multi-sector modeling, from the linear programming models to the quantified general equilibrium models. After a brief historical retrospection he presents the common and different characteristic features of the general equilibrium models by comparing them with the national economic level models based on the methods of linear programming. He also makes clear how the general equilibrium models can be used for analysing the consistency of economic policy targets, for the investigation of trade-off possibilities among the targets and, in general, for sensitivity analyses of economic policy targets. The discussion of theoretical and methodological quuestions is illustrated by the author with the aid of a quantified general equilibrium model.

The paper considers a general model of electoral systems combining district-based elections with a compensatory mechanism in order to implement any outcome between strictly majoritarian and purely proportional seat allocation. It contains vote transfer and allows for the application of three different correction formulas. Analysis in a two-party system shows that a trade-off exists for the dominant party between the expected seat share and the chance of obtaining majority. Vote transfer rules are also investigated by focusing on the possibility of manipulation. The model is applied to the 2014 Hungarian parliamentary election. Hypothetical results reveal that the vote transfer rule cannot be evaluated in itself, only together with the share of constituency seats. With an appropriate choice of the latter, the three mechanisms can be made functionally equivalent.
