12. The great divide revisitedValentina Dimitrova-Grajzl, 2007, original scientific article Abstract: The former socialist countries of South East and Central Europe exhibit great variation in institutional quality. Unlike the sparse existing literature, I claim that the variation can be explained by the legacies of the Ottoman and Habsburg Empires. I identify historical legacies of the Empires, which have affected the current institutional quality of the successor states. I show empirically that the Empires' legacies are key determinants of institutional quality, and that the Habsburg successors have institutions that are more efficient in a market economy than the Ottoman successors. In contrast, I findan insignificant effect of socialism on institutional quality.

13. The Ottoman economic legacy on the BalkansValentina Dimitrova-Grajzl, 2007, other component parts Abstract: When discussing South East Europe, the Ottoman Empire stands out in history asa prime candidate for an inquiry on historical path-dependence of institutions in the region. This paper analyzes the historical origins of the Ottoman legacy and identifies the legacy with particular pertinence to the economic performance of the South East European states. It distinguishes the legacy in relation to social values and beliefs as the one, which has had the most persistent and profound effect on the Ottoman successor states' paths of economic development.

14. Hamilton paths in vertex-transitive graphs of order 10pKlavdija Kutnar, Dragan Marušič, Cui Zhang, 2012, original scientific article Abstract: It is shown that every connected vertex-transitive graph of order ▫$10p$▫, ▫$p \ne 7$▫ a prime, which is not isomorphic to a quasiprimitive graph arising from the action of PSL▫$(2,k)$▫ on cosets of ▫$\mathbb{Z}_k \times \mathbb{Z}_{(k-1)/10}$▫, contains a Hamilton path.
