INSTITUTIONS, REGULATIONS AND INITIAL COIN OFFERINGS: AN INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE Prabal Shrestha Ozg¨urArslan-Ayaydin¨ KU Leuven, UCLouvain University of Illinois at Chicago [email protected] [email protected] James Thewissen Wouter Torsin UCLouvain University of Li`ege [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Investors and policy-makers still know little about the dynamics of initial coin offerings (ICOs) as a funding mechanism. Investors' decisions to contribute to ICOs are essentially a leap of faith given ICOs' decentralized nature coupled with the lack of regulatory oversight. Drawing on psychological theories on cognitive bias, we propose that one heuristic by which investors assess an ICO's trust- worthiness is the reputation of the ICO's country of origin, which we proxy as institutional strength. Examining 2,077 ICOs from 105 countries between 2015 and 2018, we find that ICOs originating in countries with stronger institutions are more likely to be traded, raise more funds, and experience lower price volatility.

One of them substantiates the need to update traditional for the Soviet time model of teacher training in colleges of education, while the other proves the possibility of a considerable improvement in quality of this process in conditions of classic universities, which in principle is not new for the Russian education system as well. Undoubtedly, various models have the right to be implemented. However, we should admit that comprehensive resolving issues in upgrading teacher training is now possible only in major university centers that have considerable educational, scientific, material and technical resources. With rare exceptions, these conditions are now inaccessible for most colleges of education in the country, most of which, due to the objective reasons, are in a difficult situation. This is one of the most considerable absurdities in modern education: A higher education establishment without necessary resources cannot train efficient teachers.

  • Country Brand Index and Digital Country Index West Balkan's As
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN (Online): 2319-7064 Index Copernicus Value (2015): 78.96 | Impact Factor (2015): 6.391 Country Brand Index and Digital Country Index West Balkan‟s as Opportunity to Attract Tourists and Investments Shekerinka Ivanovska International Slavic University, Sent Nikole, 2220, R. Macedonia Abstract: The last two years highlight the dominant role of research dedicated to calculate the Country Brand Index (CBI) and Digital Country Index (DCI). The question is why is there a growing importance of these indicators. In response there are selected multiple reasons and objectives: for the completion of the national identity of countries, so as to create innovative climate, growth investment opportunities, to attract international events, to promote tourism strengthening the state through a presentation to foreign media, growth of exports, for integration in the global and regional production and more. The successful achievement of these objectives requires such research so as to have the necessary resources. For these reasons, there are raised a sufficient number of specialized news agencies - companies for this purpose (Anholt - GfK, Roper, Future Brands, Brand Finance, Reputation Institute, Bloom Consulting), then, highly qualified specialists for the implementation of research, and creating good communication between public institutions and specialized companies that need to produce quality information. Professor Simon Anholt, from the University in the UK is the creator and a developer of the concept of the Country Brand Index. Countries in West Balkan today have big challenges. They are still a key element for stability of the region and whole of Europe. Data from the ranking of Brand index for the countries in Western Balkans, including Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia&Herzegovina, Montenegro, Slovenia and Croatia, should contribute to improve the position of these countries in future, primarily for getting a strong perception in attracting investments as attractive tourist destinations.
