The analysis will be supplemented by a second document on Recommendations. The primary aim of the project is to share the knowledge and experience of V4 and Caucasus in public administration teaching, training and research for institutional and administrative capacity building, based on EU administrative principles. This analysis is delivered on the basis of the prepared and agreed project guidelines for the monitoring and analysis of existing PA programs in the Caucasus area. The guidelines were prepared by all participating experts, discussed on-line and during the project meeting in Budapest in May, 2014 and approved by all the project partners. The guidelines set down the rules for analysing and evaluating PA programs in the Caucasus Universities and were developed on the basis of an internationally accepted set of evaluation criteria. The guidelines distinguish between two levels of analysis: 1. Monitoring of PA programs in the Caucasus area: collecting basic data about the situation and its analysis. 2. Evaluation of PA programs in the Caucasus area: preliminary or comprehensive evaluation of the quality of a given program, based on the experience gained from two important public administration accreditation systems – the system of CIAPA (Commission of International Accreditation of Public Administration, United Nations and International Association of Schools and Institutes of Administration initiative) and the accreditation criteria of EAPAA (European Association for Public Administration Accreditation). Both levels of our investigations are based on information concerning PA programs in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, provided by partners and respective schools during the project period and also during the workshop and conference organised in March, 2015 in Tbilisi, Georgia. 3 Analysis of Public Administration programs in Caucasus countries PA programs in the Caucasus area – basic information Following the guidelines prepared for monitoring PA programs, we were able to identify basic information on PA education in the Caucasus region. The summary of what PA programs are offered in the three countries of the region can be seen in the following Table.

Currency regulation is a backbone element to maintain the competitiveness of the country’s economy, macroeconomic stability, and to stimulate economic growth. The aim of this research is to analyse the impact of the exchange rate of the Armenian national currency (dram) on the country’s export potential, as well as the choice of a currency regulation policy stimulating export expansion and economic growth in Armenia. The study employed the methods of statistical and comparative analysis, as well as the construction of logistic assumptions. The authors conducted a statistical analysis of the dynamics and structure of Armenia’s exports by product groups and countries. They revealed that, with the exception of exports to Russia, Armenia’s exports to other countries has a high ratio of raw materials. As known, the exchange rate has the greatest impact on the price competitiveness of finished products in foreign markets. The authors evaluated the impact of currency regulation policy implemented in Armenia on the export potential and competitiveness of Armenian goods, especially in the EAEU markets.

This article is dedicated to the analysis and evaluation of key factors affecting the formation of the Armenian national currency (dram) exchange rate, as well as to the choice of the currency regulation policy in Armenia. The authors carried out a statistical and econometric analysis of the factors of the foreign exchange rate formation, taking into account the specifics of the transition economy as a whole, as well as the features of the Armenian economy, in particular. The authors have identified the exogenous and endogenous factors of the foreign exchange rate formation of the dram, depending on the inflow and outflow of foreign currency. Further, the authors specified the influence of dominant factors on the choice of the currency regulation policy in the country. The authors carried out an econometric analysis of the factors identified at the first stage of the study using the VAR model.

    Volume 39, Issue 3 Value Added of Universities: Evidence From Georgia Zurab Abramishvili David Tsirekidze International School of Economics at TSU (ISET) Edgeworth Economics Abstract In this paper we propose a quantitative measure of the value added of Georgian universities and their programs, and create a ranking based on that measure. We find that there is a large variation in the rankings of individual programs within universities. At the university level, a comparison with the only available comprehensive ranking reveals that a value added-based ranking can produce very different results from existing popular rankings.

Introduction For developing countries like Georgia, modernizing and improving the education system is of vital importance for long-term development. Fortunately, there are a number of university choices available to students when applying for undergraduate or graduate studies in Georgia. However, it is not always easy to find an objective measure that can be used to make thoughtful decisions about the relative performance of universities. Moreover, education policy makers in Georgia do not have universal, fair and objective sources upon which they can base decisions on how to distribute funding among public universities.
