Nowadays Internet allows to make settlements in virtual currency, which can be exemplified by HYIP transaction. This abbreviation means High Yield Investment Programs and provides the possibility to invest for short periods with high rate of return. However, achieving income results in the necessity to tax such a gain. Because of the methodology of calculation of Polish taxes, especially income taxes, virtual settlements generate tax risk in three areas: subject, object and formal requirements of the taxation. In conclusion this tax risk may negatively influence the development of such investments in virtual space.

One of the criteria to evaluate management ability of a company to gain return is assets return rate, with regard to existing resources. Management is expected to use the current assets so that the maximum return is gained. The present study aims at investigating assets return rate impact on stock prices of the companies accepted in Tehran stock exchange. In this research, assets return rate is considered as independent variable, and stock price as dependent variable, and company size, company age, and beta coefficient as control variables from 2001 to 2010. Research method is correlation in terms of hypothesis testing, and through multi-variable regression statistic analysis has been done. The research findings indicate strong impact and relationship between independent and dependent variables, and the research hypothesis has been accepted.

Surveys conducted in some of the world’s most developed countries have demonstrated that there is a positive relationship between the level of education and the level of income, Adamczyk and Jarecki write. According to the human capital theory, this effect is due to the growth of productivity. But education is also associated with costs. These costs can be divided into the direct costs of studying and opportunity costs. Thanks to the existence of measurable costs and effects, it is possible to assess the profitability of education. In order to measure the effects of investment in higher education, under the human capital theory, it is necessary to use a function in which the dependent variable is the level of income and the independent variables are age, education, and professional experience. However, this method cannot be used to determine whether or not studying is profitable, because it does not consider the costs of studying, Adamczyk and Jarecki note. They evaluate the profitability of investment in higher education in 2002, 2004 and 2006 using the internal rate of return (IRR) method. The IRR method is commonly used to evaluate the profitability of companies’ long-term investments. It makes it possible to take into account not only the level of effects and costs, but also the moment when they appear. A key advantage of this method is that it makes it possible to compare the effectiveness of investment in education with other kinds of investments, the authors say. The evaluation made by the authors showed that the rate of return was lower than 15 percent but higher than 16 percent, which means it was higher than the risk-free rate of return. In all, the obtained results show that investment in higher education in Poland is profitable. The analysis also demonstrated that the profitability of investment in higher education depends on sex. Men can obtain a higher rate of return than women. Another conclusion is that the profitability of studying can be affected not only by the income level but also by its time distribution.

The author calculates the value of potential paychecks lost by those who enroll for college studies instead of starting a professional career directly after graduation from high school. The author also determines the total cost of university-level education depending on individual types of studies and economic sectors. He estimates the period after which the incomes of people with a secondary education and those with a university-level education will level out. The analysis applies to the years 2000-2004. The amount of potential pay lost by college students was calculated by summing up the real remuneration of people with a secondary education in 2000-2004, considering the unemployment rate among people with a secondary education in the 15-24 age group. Total costs were determined by adding direct costs to pay lost. The payback period was calculated on the basis of the average 2004 pay of people with both a secondary and university-level education, considering the relevant unemployment rates and assuming steady geometric wage growth. It turns out that the average payback period for investments in higher education is five years. The period tends to be longer for graduates of technological studies and shorter for economists, administration graduates and teachers. The payback period is usually longer for studies with greater importance to the development of the economy (such as engineering) and the functioning of society (medicine and education). A short payback period is noted for investments in economic studies, which confirms the rationality of the choices made by many high-school graduates.

The article contributes to the overall body of knowledge about investments made by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and their sources of financing. The author conducts an empirical research through a direct interview method on two samples: a sample of 1,001 microbusinesses (meaning those with up to nine employees) and a sample of 1,202 SMEs with 10 to 249 employees. The research shows that only 41 percent of Poland’s SMEs carried out investments in 2004. Investment indicators were the highest among medium-sized enterprises (74 percent), while microbusinesses showed the lowest indicators (41 percent). In the case of individual types of investments (day-to-day maintenance and modernization, purchase of computer hardware and software, purchase of individual machines and equipment, purchase of means of transportation, construction of new plants and purchase of turnkey production lines), the highest investment indicators were invariably recorded among medium-sized enterprises. The percentage of investing companies increased with an increase in employment. The same is true of the percentage of companies declaring investment plans for the next 12 months. Most of the companies polled used their own funds to finance their investments. An important (though usually only supportive) role in financing some investments (in particular, the purchases of means of transportation, turnkey production lines, machines and equipment) was played by loans and leasing. In analyses by market segment, the following rule was observed: companies with a higher level of employment displayed a greater tendency to use loans and leasing programs. Other sources of funds for investment projects in the SME sector were of marginal importance. Comparative analyses reveal that the use of external sources of funds to finance SME investment projects in Poland is usually two to three times lower than in other EU countries and the United States. However, no evidence of discrimination against SMEs in lending by banks was obtained. Only 2.5 percent of the companies polled have been refused bank loans over the past three years. An increased propensity to invest among Polish SMEs could be stimulated by appropriate activities of the government, banks and entrepreneurs themselves.

Relatively new approach toward investing is to concern pieces of art as in-vestment instrument or collateral. In order to decide whether art is a good in-vestment, it is necessary to evaluate expected returns, which might be ob-tained from such investment thus an art price index should be developed. The aim of the paper is to discuss artworks as investment assets and evaluate price index of paintings produced by 11 Polish artists whose artworks were traded the most often on auctions that held in Poland in the years 2007-2010. In our research, employing data concerning 750 objects, we apply he-donic index methodology to estimate returns from the paintings market. Our results justify the opinion that art can be treated as safe asset class, especially in comparison to equity market.

The turn of the century was full of dynamic and multi-dimensional changes in the global economy. The most spectacular phenomena may include financial crises. They exerted influence not only on the economy, in which they appeared, but as a result of deepening of globalization, spread "infecting" others. The purpose of this article was an attempt to find similarities in the dynamics of changes in production and global demand that characterized the economy of the selected European Union countries. The starting point was to show the dynamics of gross domestic product (GDP) in selected countries and to find similarities between them. In the next section, attention was focused on the changes in the two components of aggregate demand: consumption and investment, particularly on their correlation with the rate of change of GDP. For analysis and comparisons, the following economies were selected: the economy of the European Union (represented by the euro zone) and the economy of Central and Eastern Europe.

The pension fund investments should be characterised by a long term, low risk and profitability, which implicates the necessity of portfolio diversification. In general, pension funds having regular long-term contributions should develop the long-term policy and its effects would be responsible for the economic position of their future beneficiaries. The ways of capital allocation are also critical in terms of the entire economy, as a constant flow of financial resources provided by pension funds stimulates the activity of its recipients. The typical assets in a pension fund's portfolio in the developed economy are stocks, bonds and real property owing to low (negative) correlation between these assets and their diversified potential. The legal investment limits imposed on the Polish pension funds exclude direct investment in real property, which is responsible - in the authors' opinion - for the lower level of diversification and hinders the risk reduction. The authors analyze the Polish pension fund portfolios focusing on risk and return levels. The aim of the study is to find the answer to the important question about the results of hypothetically added real property to the portfolios of pension funds.

The purpose of this article is to present factors determining the effectiveness of new investments in brown coal deposits. It discusses the weak and strong points of brown coal mining in Poland, as well as opportunities and risks in its development. The strong point is that Poland has abundant resources of lignite and the opportunity lies in the rising demand for energy. The weak point is that brown coal emits large amounts of CO2 and risk is perceived in that the EU tightens up its policy on coal-based production of energy. An analysis of all these factors allows reliable assessment of the discount rate on investment projects, which must be known for their profitability to be established.

The term industrial park is currently a very frequently used. One of the conditions of their development is a positive trend of capital movement and correct allocation of capital in new conditions of Slovak and world economy. In current post-industrial stage of development, industrial parks grow in quality in comparison of parks built in the past when all the activities of product building were allocated were concentrated into one single place. The new generation of industrial parks is characteristic by producing just one product or completion of final goods from components. The present day development in Slovakia confirms that it is necessary to support creation of industrial parks because it has a positive influence to activities supporting research and development and increasing of employment.

A company's development is an essential task for any entrepreneur. To start a new business or expand the existing range, the entrepreneur must, above all, achieve funds for investment. Capital requirements normally exceed the available financial resources, which makes it necessary to obtain missing capital from external sources. One of the forms of business financing is leasing – especially attractive for entrepreneurs, who are just starting their business. It gives the possibility to finance investments from outer funds, i.e. from financing entity, which is particularly useful in situations, when the potential customer’s orders cannot be met due to technological shortcoming of an entrepreneur. The purpose of the publication is to present leasing in terms of tax implications for entrepreneur (beneficiary), especially in the field of income tax.

The financial and the insurance markets are increasingly penetrating each other, accounting for the fact that insurers are more and more often seen as major institutional investors of capital markets. The capital market offers a range of new opportunities, although it is not devoid of faults, mercilessly exposed by consecutive stock market collapses. Do insurance companies use the capital market instruments? And if so, to what extent? The conducted analysis has pointed at growing involvement of insurers in capital assets. This involvement varies significantly in particular European countries, although research shows that on average it maintains a relatively high level.
