They are especially grateful to the staff of the Department of Research and Statistics of the Ministry of Finance and the Planning Commission for their assistance in collecting the basic data and their suggestions.. INTRODUCTION Though Cyprus, unlike most developing countries, has a reputation of having fairly accurate statistics over a number of years the available information is scattered in many government publications - Statistical Abstracts, Economic Reviews, Annual Reports of various government departments, blue books etc. This report was written tith the aim of bringing under one cover all the available information on the agricultural sector of the economy. It is hoped that this report will, firstly, facilitate the study of the agricultural problems of the island, secondly, precent the available agricultural statistics in a comprehensive and meaningful form and, thirdly, give the opportunity to local and foreign people interested in the agricultural economy of Cyprus to obtain a concise picture of Cyprus agriculture. The report is divided into four parts. Part one deals with the position of agriculture within the overall economy of Cyprus. Part two presents the land use structure and part three outlines the agricultural inttOG and outputs and the performance of agriculture during the period 1950 - 1965. The last part presents the results of an attempt to apply the multiple corre- lation technique in measuring the influence of certain variables on the gross output of Cyprus agriculture. - — — POSITION OF AGRICULTURE WITHIN TRP, CYPRUS ECONOMY TABLE 1.1 Share of Each Sector in Gross Domestic Product at Current Factor Cost (in percentage) , Sectors , 1958 1960 . 1965 • 1.

Investment Prospects in Ukraine: Transition from a Planned to Market Economy Abstract The oS viet economy and how it operated successfully to make it one of the world superpowers in the world under the socialist regime still is unclear to many people around the world, and especially those outside the vast territories of Soviet influence. The ounc try of Ukraine was one of those countries, which makes it very important to understand why the country is at the position it presently finds itself in. Thus, to help us better understand the Ukrainian economy we will look into the history of the Soviet Union.

  • Structural Weaknesses in the Economy of Cyprus: How Do We Score Relative to the EU15? † 1. Introduction
    Cyprus Economic Policy Review, Vol. 4, No. 2, pp. 43-71 (2010) 1450-4561 Structural Weaknesses in the Economy of Cyprus: How Do We Score Relative to the EU15? † Louis N. Christofidesa∗ and Maria Michaelb a Department of Economics and Economics Research Centre, University of Cyprus b Economics Research Centre, University of Cyprus Abstract Structural reforms for promoting economic growth and improving labour market conditions are some of the main targets of the Lisbon strategy. This paper examines how Cyprus compares with the EU on a number of structural indicators which are related to the Lisbon strategy. The results for Cyprus are divided into three parts. The first part investigates the sources of GDP per capita and GDP growth using a growth accounting exercise. The second part analyses performance in 20 policy areas related to: (i) Labour market, (ii) Product and capital market regulations, (iii) Innovation and knowledge and (iv) Macroeconomy. Finally, the third part determines priorities among policy areas, relating underperformance in the first two parts based on the literature. The study aims to evaluate the results for Cyprus, providing policy recommendations when possible. Keywords: Cyprus economy, country evaluation, structural reforms, Lisbon assessment framework. 1. Introduction Structural reforms for promoting economic growth and improving labour market conditions are some of the main targets of the Lisbon strategy. This † This paper is a result of a project sponsored by the Planning Bureau and funded by the Research Promotion Foundation (RPF) through the Economics Research Center (ERC). It aims to reach a better appreciation of the LAF methodology and, following a critical assessment, to propose improvements to this approach.

  • Foreign Direct Investment and Investment Migration Programmes in the European Union
    In the Shadow of the Euro Crisis: Foreign Direct Investment and Investment Migration Programmes in the European Union Justin Lindeboom* and Sophie Meunier** This is a draft version of a chapter forthcoming in Dimitry Kochenov and Kristin Surak (eds), Citizenship and Residence Sales: Rethinking the Boundaries of Belonging (Cambridge University Press 2021). 1. Introduction European Union (EU) Member States have long competed to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) as well as other forms of foreign investment through a panoply of incentives targeted at companies, ranging from new infrastructure to worker training.1 This form of regulatory competition, both against third countries and against other EU Member States, became fiercer in the wake of the global financial crisis and the subsequent Euro crisis, which have prompted a sharp drop of inward foreign investment in Europe, in a broader context of negative and low growth rates, a sovereign debt crisis, and a precipitous decline of outflows of FDI worldwide.2 This chapter examines the recent proliferation of European investment migration programmes from the investment, rather than the citizenship or residence, angle. Given the starkly reduced FDI inflows after the 2008 financial crisis and the subsequent Euro crisis, we explore the design of investment migration programmes as another investment incentive in the toolkit of EU Member States, albeit targeted at individuals instead of companies. We hypothesize, firstly, that investment migration programmes have flourished as a result of a match between supply – i.e. the goods which Member States can offer through investment migration programmes – and demand for these goods especially on the part of new investors from third countries.
