The aim of the study was to evaluate the economic situation of three groups of farms, sin-gled out of a sample with the economic size of 2 to 8 ESU. Farms are grouped according to the level of income from the farm, and the results are presented in a quartile system. The objective of the study was to define perspectives for the future functioning of farms in the distinguished groups of the best, average and the weakest farms. The data of the Polish FADN were used in the study. The analysis carried out indicate that the best farms have the biggest chance for longer functioning in future. In comparison to the average and the weakest ones, they had a better structure of assets and capital. The property was used more effectively in those holdings and working assets, including loan capital for current production, were also managed more rationally. Fixed assets replacement was more active as well. Only those farmers, whose farms were recognised as the best, could expect to obtain income (profit) from good management. Those from the average and weakest groups incurred financial losses, which means that total production costs (economic costs) were only partially covered. Analysis of the property status and financial situation shows that persons managing the farms covered by the study, including those from the best group, should make significant changes to their management methods.

In two studies (N1 = 430; N2 = 500) on a general Slovak population (50.3% female; age = 39.8 ± 11.7 years), we tested a structural model outlining the effects of one’s economic situation and its subjective perception on time and risk preferences (in tasks with hypothetical rewards), with financial literacy serving as a mediator of these relationships. Even after respecifying the model, mostly weak or inconclusive relationships were observed. We further tested the time stability of time and risk preferences. On a sample of 224 participants who completed both waves (one year apart), we observed moderate correlations in the preferences even after controlling for income change. We argue that both time and risk preferences in monetary choices appear to be stable traits and are only marginally related to one’s economic situation or financial literacy. Further investigation on the effectiveness of financial literacy in shaping economic preferences is needed.

Currently trends of macroeconomic indicators show that economy in Poland, despite the general recession in the EU, is in the stage of economic development. The question is whether these positive signals in the Polish economy in relation to domestic demand, external investment, volume of industrial production and construction are reflected also in the improvement of economic situation in Transport, Freight Forwarding and Logistics (TFL) sector in Poland. Hence the goal of the article is to analyse the economic condition of the TFL sector, which is recognized as one of the most important barometers of the economic growth.

The article is devoted to the development of the social situation in Kosovo in the 1960s and 1970s. It points to the fact that Serbian, Albanian and international historiography has researched the recent history of Kosovo mainly from the point of view of the growth of ethnic tensions. However, clarification of the causes of the specific development of this region is not possible without impartial and comprehensive analysis of all areas of its social and economic life. The text presents findings mainly derived from official Yugoslav statistics, documents from the office of Josip Broz Tito and partial analysis of the Belgrade daily Politika from several years. The study includes the development of health care, infant mortality, the level of schooling, employment, pension and social security, consumption of food, position of women and the situation in the agrarian sector. The data are compared with the situation in more backward parts of the former Yugoslav federation, especially in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Macedonia. It is clear that from about the first third of the 1960s, Kosovo began to fall seriously behind these economically under-developed republics.
