The article examines circumstances under which a corruption is harmful from an economic point of view and explores the potential instruments to decrease corruption. Even though acts of corruption are generally voluntary exchanges, they are usually not social optimal because of presence of the negative externalities. The conditions under which they would be socially optimal are extremely rare in a real life. The article identifies three anticorruption strategies: decreasing benefits of corruption, increasing costs of corruption and increasing probability of uncovering corruption. It focuses in particular on measure to equalize supply and demand or ones that decrease discretion.

A string of analyses has been made on the factors and development of Hungarian competitiveness, but far less attention paid to some elements of the business environment that are counterproductive in competitiveness terms. The study surveys these, especially market failures in the availability of essential products and services, excessive costs of administrative procedures, and links between increasing competitiveness and fighting corruption.

The informal economy has remained a major part of the Sub-Saharan African economic systems. Critical to this are market place transactions where people meet to purchase and sell wares. Due to the socio-cultural, geographic and economic infrastructures of many traditional African societies, goods to be sold and purchased are transported from one location to another for various purposes. The head porters (alabaru) are thus needed to transport market goods and wares particularly since the African urban market spaces are mostly un-motor able and heavily congested, and the adoption of related technologies is mostly traditionally and culturally determined. Also, against the backdrop of huge unemployment, especially of women, in Nigeria and Africa, head porterage has become and remained an important leeway. Unfortunately, head porterage is poorly studied in scholarly literature. Through comprehensive qualitative data collection and analysis, this article explores head porterage in Ibadan, Nigeria.

The article presents the results of research analyses of living standard dynamics in Ukraine in 1991-2010 based on the minimum of subsistence wage, the level of minimum of subsistence, minimal wage statistics. Represented comparative data of consumer’s inflation basket value structure in Ukraine, Poland and Germany additionally to statistical analyses give the author ground for making conclusions on inefficiency of social standard – subsistence minimum wage in Ukraine constitutionally declared as a social state. Research on Ukrainians’ living resources in post-soviet times is conceptually performed in terms of informal economy (K. Hart, H. de Soto et al) and family economy (G. Becker, T. Shanin et al.) with broad use of relevant sociological information. Foreign studies on informal economy in former soviet republics have confirmed the author’s hypothesis about historical long-lasting soviet people’s forced capability to informal economic activity in terms of survival doctrine (after I. Popova) from Soviet times. By reason of governance non-competence and absence of adequate socio-economic policy in Ukraine the earnings within informal economy and traditional family economy resources are still being considered as main in formation and accumulation of the living means for most Ukrainians during all the post-soviet period.

Poniższy tekst omawia problemy związane z badaniem migracji nieformalnej, która tradycyjnie postrzegana jest jako ułomna forma migracji formalnej, co wynika z hierarchicznej konstrukcji naszego aparatu badawczego. Oprócz sprzeczności logicznej, wynikającej ze stosowania tej samej metody dla zjawiska pozbawionego formy jak i dla zjawiska formalnego, podejście to stanowi główny problem badań nad zjawiskami nieformalnymi. W obecnym dyskursie migracja nieformalna jawi się jako funkcja przepisów prawnych specyficznych dla danego kraju i sposobu ich wdrażania, a samo istnienie trasy migracyjnej nie jest uważane za ważny czynnik wpływający na jej kształt, w związku z czym jest to zjawisko któremu nie poświęca się wiele uwagi. Niniejszy tekst uzupełnia tę lukę w badaniach poprzez przytoczenie przykładów empirycznych, pochodzących z wybranych europejskich tras migracyjnych.

Research on so-called irregular or informal migration has traditionally been done within the same hierarchically structured conceptual framework as research on formal, that is, regular migration, as if form and not–form were the same. In the dominant discourse, informal migration is perceived as a function of country-specific legal regulations and their implementation, while routes are rarely discussed as a factor shaping migration.The article fills the gap by quoting empirical examples from European routes, in which, in interviews, informal migrants openly admitted that the proximity of the route and the accessibility of transport were the major factors influencing their decisions to migrate.

The momentous changes which began at the end of the previous century in many world countries (notably in the so-called former socialist bloc states) are definitely far from complete. There is no doubt that the process is still ongoing. And, what is more important, no one can even approximately predict when it will come to an end. Because of its exceptional complexity, systemic transformation should be regarded as a long-term process which spans generations. Therefore, the term ‘continuation' is frequently used in reference to this phenomenon. The present study discusses the most significant (at least according to the author) issues and problems of systemic transformation. The author also puts forward specific suggestions for directions of further economic and interdisciplinary research into the field
