Special Issue Information

Dear colleagues and potential contributors,

Understanding the current evolutions of financial markets and economies remains one of the main challenges and concerns both for academia and practitioners. The contemporary economies are facing numerous risks and challenges in their way of assuring growth and well-being for their populations. In this context, it is necessary to examine whether proxies of asymmetrical risks exposure can predict the future evolution and volatility of financial markets and economy. Managing risks has become a crucial instrument in assuring resilient development in numerous fields, starting from the company level, continuing with the financial markets, and turning into a major topic of discussions.

Herein, we propose a specific framework of debating, identifying, and arguing the main streams in this research field. In this context, we will consider all types of submissions, both theoretical and practical articles, conceptual notes, and full-length articles dealing with asymmetrical risks and challenges in emerging financial markets and economies. Also, related topics are considered.

Although the European business environment induces important premises and assures conditions in determining economic growth and social well-being, the determinant and existent connections between the evolution of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), business demography characteristics and the European socio-economic model have been scarcely studied in recent years. The dimensions of the European socio-economic model design a very specific framework in developing business demography and assuring a favorable environment for future SME development. The main aim of the manuscript is to investigate the evolution of the European SMEs sector and the perspective of business demography evolution to converge with exigencies of the European socio-economic model. In order to argue the research objective, eight specific and representative business demography variables were employed, from 12 European Union member states (EU-MS), during 2009–2017. Further, the SMEs’ performances, determined by changing the economic functional paradigm, were assessed. For proving this, an econometric model was designed considering labor productivity as an endogenous variable. Our preliminary analysis shows considerable differences in business demography indicators and SMEs development among all five socio-economic sub-models of the main European socio-economic model, proving a tight connection between European socio-economic models and SMEs’ performance and arguing the necessity of a paradigm convergence. Within some sub-models, there is clear evidence of clustering and convergence in terms of business demography and SMEs future development. Full article
