Living unequally, feeling unequally
This article investigates the determinants of subjective perceptions of inequality in transition economies, focusing on the gap between individuals’ objective income rank and their self-assessed position on the income ladder. Using the fourth wave of the Life in Transition Survey (LiTS IV), we apply regression and Heckman selection models to examine how welfare status, household structure, and adverse shocks shape inequality perceptions. The resu…

The covid-19 impact on exports in North Macedonia—firm-level analysis
Exports experienced extraordinary growth rates during the last decade in North Macedonia capturing above 50% share of the country’s GDP. However, the COVID-19 crisis interrupted the positive export series imposing various constraints in multiple dimensions on export-oriented firms. This study explores the multidimensionality of the COVID-19 impact on exporters in North Macedonia. We find that COVID-19 caused a systematic slowdown in the exporters…

Remittances and Labour Supply Revisited
The objective of the paper is to revisit the role of remittances for labour-supply responses. Previous studies documented conflicting results, while the key methodological concern – remittances’ endogeneity about labour supply – has not been resolved convincingly. We construct behavioural tax and benefit microsimulation model and simulate labour-market responses of singles and couples had remittances not existed in their households. This is a nov…
Exploring Diaspora Contribution to North Macedonia’s Development
The objective of this article is to qualitatively assess the scope of diaspora contribution to the economic development of North Macedonia. The author’s key argument is that diaspora presents an indispensable source of opportunities for helping the development of the country. The author collected qualitative data and used existing quantitative data, and set them in an exploratory framework. Findings suggest that diaspora works positively for the …
Does motherhood explain lower wages for women in Macedonia
The objective of the paper is to estimate the motherhood wage gap and its contribution to the gender wage gap in Macedonia, after considering workers’ characteristics and selectivity bias into the labour market for the childbearing-age population. In particular, it aims to disentangle the extent to which the natural role of women to have and raise children affects the gender wage gap. Due to the large female inactivity in Macedonia, we employ a r…
New Light on the Remittances‐Poverty‐Health Nexus in Macedonia
Macedonia receives about 10 per cent of GDP as cash remittances per year while a third of the population faces poverty. The study aims to investigate whether remittances improve the poverty and health of individual remittance‐receivers in Macedonia. To that end, we rely on the 2008 Remittances’ Survey and a sequential structural model linking remittances to social indicators. We find that remittances have a significant effect oto consumption, in …
The Size and Effects of Emigration and Remittances in the Western Balkans. A Forecasting Based on a Delphi Process
This paper aims at forecasting the size and effects of remittances and emigration in Macedonia, Albania, Serbia, and Kosovo, using a qualitative forecasting method, a Delphi questionnaire. The authors examined consensus building within and between two groups of respondents: ten experts and twenty remittance receivers per country, in three subsequent rounds-two on the same group and a third cross-round. Consensual results suggest that remittances …
Remittances as a Shield to Vulnerable Households in Macedonia
The objective of this article is to investigate whether remittances sent to Macedonia have a role to play for shielding vulnerable households, by highlighting the importance of a strictly exogenous instrument in an IV context. Results suggest that remittance‐receiving households have, on average, a 20.1 per cent lower vulnerability than non‐receiving ones. However, if one has a reasonable belief that vulnerability and the instrument are determine…
Dissatisfied, feeling unequal and inclined to emigrate
Macedonia has a large diaspora, a high emigration rate and receives larger volume of remittances. This paper aims to describe the current inclination to emigrate from Macedonia, in the light of the dissatisfaction with the domestic political and economic environment and the potential feeling of gender and ethnic inequalities. Particular reference is made to the role of remittances. We use the Remittances Survey 2008 and treat dissatisfaction, fee…
Inflation targeting at the crossroads
The objective of this paper is to assess if inflation targeting post-communist economies performed better, in terms of output growth, during the crisis than their non-inflation targeting counterparts. The paper also puts the issue in the context of the preconditions of inflation targeters to adopt this regime. 26 post-communist economies of Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States are analyzed during the ongoing econo…
Real Wages in the Manufacturing Industry in Macedonia
In this paper we analyze the determinants of real wages in Macedonia’s manufacturing sector. We emphasize the macroeconomic aspects involved, and use econometric panel data techniques to model the behaviour of real wages for the period 2005-2010, using monthly data. We find non-negligible persistence of real wages. We further find a role for overall unemployment, real exchange rate and the tariff index in determining real wages
