Knowing which factors underlie beliefs concerning financial planning for retirement (FPR) among young adults is essential for designing interventions to support their actual FPR. Therefore, we examined predictors of FPR-related beliefs and current retirement savings in a sample of 502 employed Slovak adults aged 20 to 35 years. Actual savings and all dimensions of psychological preparedness for FPR were positively predicted by retirement financial literacy and self-rated financial literacy. Moreover, we found that perceived FPR emotional load decreases with education, and perceived FPR task complexity diminishes with age. Further, increasing income was predictive of a higher subjective FPR competence and a perception of FPR as less stressful. Finally, professional experience in the financial domain was linked to a higher self-assessed capability in terms of FPR, but also with a lower personal FPR engagement. Our findings stress the need for effective communication of information about FPR’s relevance to young people.

Neoclassical interpretation of Keynes' thoughts based on the IS-LM model are well known and widely accepted, mainly because of the rather simple and straightforward mathematical components describing the relations between the effective demand and the liquidity preference theory. Despite that, this interpretation suppressed Keynes's novelty and contribution to economic theory. Further development and expansion of the banking services created new platform for the post-keynesian monetary theory of the production, which is developed from the rigorous analysis of the banking money and production. Bernard Schmitt's contribution to further development of the Keynes theory is without doubt enriching of the modern economic thinking, which is important in the light of the rapid development of the banking systems during the last 25 years.

First, this paper examines the causal relationship between the current account and financial account then the current account and the main components of financial account and finally the financial account, saving, and investment in Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovenia. In this context we employ Toda-Yamamoto approach to Granger causality test by using the quarterly data. We find a causal relation running from the financial (current) account to the current (financial) account in Croatia (Poland) and Slovenia (Romania) while a bi-directional causality exists in the case of Hungary. We conclude that at least one component of financial account balance Granger causes current account in Croatia, Poland, Romania and Slovenia while the causality running from the current account to at least one component of financial account in Poland, Romania and Hungary. It seems that the financial account Granger causes the saving in Hungary and investment in Croatia while the causality running from the saving in Romania and investment in both Croatia and Poland to the financial account.

Rather than dealing with the immediate policy steps to dampen the crisis, this paper attempts to reveal the worsening savings/consumption pattern of the US economy over the last ten years. Based on the closed logic of open-economy GDP-accounting, it argues that the current crisis is deeply rooted in shrinking public and private savings trends discernible as early as 1997. The current mortgage-market crisis and deep fall in new residential housing are products of a distorted financial environment that encourages over-borrowing and over-consumption. Expansion of the credit cycle through successive financial innovations has increased, not decreased output volatility. But the main foreign lenders to the US -Japan, China and Germany - have managed to offset their losses on US securities by buying into US companies. Large US firms have also benefited from rapid dollar depreciation as USD-denominated yields on their foreign assets experienced strong run-ups. The weak dollar has also helped American firms with large assets on foreign markets. So there were strong benefits for the US, not just on the goods-export side, but on the asset side, an aspect rarely emphasized

This paper looks at the effects of foreign aid on alleviating regional (cross-country) income disparity. While foreign aid is designed to help countries finance the gaps between savings and investment, the results seem so far to indicate that foreign aid has not played any major role to generate accelerated economic growth and a subsequent relief in regional disparity. Nonetheless, there are cross-country and cross-regional differences when it comes to effective use of foreign aid. In this respect, while the data for emerging economies reveal some positive effects for regional growth, for most of the developing regions, foreign aid contributed to change a little not only trends in regional disparity but also the overall economic landscape of the countries under investigation.
