heal.abstract
The present dissertation titled as “The economic performance and development of
Bulgaria in terms of competitiveness (GCI) and easy of doing business (EDB) in
comparison with European Union and the countries of Black Sea region” was
worked out in the frames of the curriculum of postgraduate studies as a part of the
“MA program in Black Sea Cultural Studies”, in the School of Humanities, of the
International Hellenic University during the academic year 2010-2011.
The Master's dissertation aims to apply a certain methodology and approach in the
analysis of the economic development of Bulgaria and to demonstrate reasonably
original research. More analytically, the master thesis conducts a thorough
comparative method, through a series of annual reports, by using two specific
financial indexes; the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) of the World Economic
Forum for the period 2004-2011, and the Easy of Doing Business Index of the World
Bank for the period 2006-2011, in order to evaluate economic performance of
Bulgaria –as it is strongly affected by various special circumstances such as the
worldwide Financial Crisis 2007 till now– in comparison with the performance of the
European Union (EU27) and the group of Black Sea countries (BS10), in specific
areas of economic interest.
In the end, total evaluation and assessment of undertaking takes place, with
consecutive report of helpful conclusions.
It must be noted, that the hall comparative analysis of the economic performance
and development of Bulgaria in terms of competitiveness (GCI) and easy of doing
business (EDB) in comparison with European Union and the countries of Black Sea
region necessitated the construction of a series of tables and charts where the best and
the worst values are remarked.
