Moreover, in the contemporary world, development is inconceivable in the absence of sustained research and development activities. Undoubtedly, scientific research must be conducted primarily in higher education institutions, in academic and research laboratories. In this context, the scientific research of young people - students, master students and, in particular PhD students - acquires special meanings and its stimulation is a duty of honour to academics and supervisors at all levels. Recognizing and understanding all these realities, in the Faculty of Economic Studies and Doctoral School of Economic Sciences at the University of Oradea, there have been encouraged and supported the efforts and steps on the path of doctoral scientific research. Thus, since 2010 there is organized an Annual Doctoral Symposium of PhD students in Economics and related fields, and papers carefully selected after the peer- review process were published in a volume that encompassed the contributions of PhD students in Economics. Now, we release the 31 papers selected from the scientific contributions of the PhD students, presented at the 2014 edition of the Doctoral Symposium Session and which received after the review process, the agreement for publishing from the Scientific and Editorial Board. The papers were presented, during the Doctoral Symposium, at three panels, dealing with topics related to Microeconomics
