- DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS OF FACTORS FOR FOREST INDUSTRY WAGES AND SALARIES LEVELS IN NUTS 2 REGIONS OF BULGARIA
-
Резюме
Determining the economic efficiency of entire enterprises or of certain processes in the use of resources is a topic of constant relevance. Bulgaria's forest industry is a specific sector that provides employment to the population in all regions of the country. So far, many studies have been done on the economic efficiency of the forestry sector in the country. Human resources in the sector, as well as labor costs, were also investigated. In the present study, a methodology is applied that determines the economic efficiency of employment compared to the salaries paid. In this way, the study determines the optimality in the ratio of employment / wages and answers the question to what extent in each of the regions of the country companies have managed to provide productive jobs with good pay.

- INFORMATION MODELLING OF SUSTAINABLE BIOENERGY AND BIOFUEL PRODUCTION

Резюме
The European Union's Circular Economy project aims to protect the environment and reduce dependence on raw materials. The present study examines the state and the perspective of the sustainable production and use of bioenergy and biofuels as key factors in the realization of a circular economy. For this purpose, an information model is presented. The methodology for building such a model includes a definition of target, scope and users; a generalized scheme of an information system for maintenance of criteria and certificates for sustainability of bioenergy and biofuel production; consideration of software platforms and resources for implementation and publication of the information model. On the base of the generalized schema, a prototype information system is developed consisting of a user interface, functional scripts and a database of bioenergy and biofuel production in Bulgaria. The analysis of data shows the necessity of developing unified standards and classifiers to resolve inconsistencies between bioenergy/biofuel production datasets in all European Union countries.
The report has been developed under the activities of project НИС-Б-1279/19.10.2023 at the University of Forestry, Bulgaria.Ключови думи: bioenergy and biofuel production, information modelling, information system, sustainable certificate
- PRODUCTION AND TRADE OF WOODEN PRODUCTS IN BULGARIA FOR THE PERIOD 2007–2021 – QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS AND FACTORS OF INFLUENCE
-
Резюме
This analysis covers Bulgaria’s wood product industry over a period of 14 years. It uses quantitative techniques to assess production volumes, export and import trends and trade balance of wooden products. Certain key aspects such as the shift in economic policy or the change in market demand have also been examined in terms of their effects on the sector’s performance. Multiples methods of statistics are also used to detect the production and trade anomalies over time, and also major domestic and international events that may have caused a great shift in production dynamics. In mapping the development of Bulgaria’s wood product industries, the analysis identifies both the main’s determinants and constraints within the industry that can be used in strategic decision-making in the future by the stakeholders.
