31. The effect of unemployment benefit generosity on unemployment duration : quasi-experimental evidence from SloveniaMatija Vodopivec, Suzana Laporšek, Primož Dolenc, Milan Vodopivec, 2015, treatise, preliminary study, study Abstract: The paper analyses the effects of a 2011 increase in the unemployment benefit replacement rate on the job-finding rate of Slovenian benefit recipients. Using registry data on the universe of Slovenian unemployment benefit recipients, we exploit legislative changes that selectively increased the replacement rates for certain groups of workers while leaving them unchanged for others. Applying this quasi-experimental approach, we find that increasing the replacement rate significantly decreased the hazard rate of the transition from unemployment to employment, with an implied elasticity of the hazard rate with respect to benefit replacement rate being 0.7 to 0.9. The results also show that the increase of the unemployment benefit replacement rate does not affect the job-finding probability of jobseekers whose reason for unemployment is employer exit, and that the effects of the increase of replacement rate are present only upon exit to employment and not to inactivity.

33. Can IoT be used to mitigate food supply chain risk?Ivan Beker, Milan Delić, Stevan Milisavljević, Dušan Gošnik, Gordana Ostojić, Stevan Stankovski, 2016, original scientific article Abstract: The Internet-of-Things are new, but extremely promising multiple technologies that will revolutionize food supply chain and the way we are selecting and buying food. Combination of ubiquitous cell-phone usage, ability to %communicate% with food packaging and transfer specific information regarding risks immediately at the any point on the globe is offering much higher standard of consumer safety.

34. Training funds and the incidence of training : the case of MauritiusOluyemisi Kuku, Peter F. Orazem, Sawkut Rojid, Milan Vodopivec, 2016, original scientific article Abstract: Training funds are used to incentivize training in developing countries, but the funds are based on payroll taxes that lower the return to training. In the absence of training funds, larger, high-wage and more capital-intensive firms are the most likely to offer training unless they are liquidity constrained. If firms are not liquidity constrained, the fund could lower training investments. Using an administrative data set on the Mauritius training fund, we find that the firms most likely to train pay more in taxes than they gain in subsidies. The smallest firms receive more benefits than they pay in taxes.
