Some methodological Aspects of studying the impact of financial inclusion on poverty
(Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University Press, 2024) Mikiashvili, Nino
The problem of poverty requires a multifaceted and in-depth study. In the course of the research, both
national and regional characteristics, as well as epochal peculiarities, should be taken into account alongside
general methodological basics. The aim of this paper is to determine the principles by which the dependence of financial inclusion on poverty reduction can be assessed. It is hypothesized that financial inclusion
can significantly reduce poverty. To evaluate this relationship, both quantitative and qualitative analyses
are needed. The factors that significantly influence poverty levels will be identified and investigated. The quantitative
analysis will primarily rely on econometric regression models, where the poverty rate is treated as
the dependent variable and financial inclusion as the main explanatory variable. A multidimensional financial
inclusion index will be used to quantify financial inclusion, allowing for emphasis on one or more components
of this index based on the research objectives. The model should ideally be constructed using panel
data and include control variables such as economic growth, income inequality, labor informality rates, average
years of education, etc.
Features of the use of circular economy indicators in Georgia
(Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University Press, 2024) Kakulia, Nazira
In this study, we analyzed issues related to the formation of a circular economy. We can say that the
formation of a โgreen economyโ is the main task of the 21st century for humanity. In this regard, there is
significant political support at the level of international organizations and individual countries.
Important results in the framework of the study are that the stability of the environmental development
environment is a more important problem for developing countries compared to developed countries, as
well as in developing countries, the corresponding institutional base in this direction is not fully formed. Significant
problems in this regard were observed in Georgia, which are expressed in the GGG and EP indices
between the countries of the world.
Peculiarities of life insurance in Georgia
(Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University Press, 2024) Kakashvili, Nato; Barbakadze, Khatuna; Kakhniashvili, Natia
One of the important issues of any country is the protection of life and health of the population. Financial
support of life insurance and its development is a priority task of the state, because human life is the most
important valuable resource of the country's economy.
Based on the above, studying the state of the life insurance market in Georgia and determining the
ways of its development is very relevant and interesting.
From the point of view of life insurance, society suffers from a lack of information, thus a customer-oriented
insurance system is needed, which primarily involves regulating the prices of life insurance services
and adjusting them to the population.
"GDP thinking" versus SNA - the greatest invention of the 20th century
(Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University Press, 2024) Aslamazishvili, Nana
For nearly eight decades, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has remained at the center of economic
analysis, international comparisons, economic and social policies, and strategic decisions. During this time,
both his fetishization and criticism also became a common story. However, over time, in parallel with
the increase in the level of his fetish, the depth of knowledge about him began to decrease, and it became
completely superficial not only among researchers, but even among national accountants. It seems that it
has become too trivial for them to rethink/update knowledge about which economic category they are
dealing with, what is its nature, how to explain its development trajectory, etc., especially in today's rapidly
changing world.
GDP is a child of the System of National Accounts (SNA). The complexity of this system, on the one
hand, and the lack of enthusiasm to delve into its essence, on the other, lead to a deepening in the gap
between GDP and knowledge about it. Well-known researchers of national accounts (see, for example,
Prof. Frits Bos) write and talk quite openly about this, and it is impossible not to agree with it.
Nevertheless, the SNA is deservedly named among the great inventions of the 20th century, and this
fact cannot remain unnoticed by its users. This means that the fundamental principles on which not only
the calculation of GDP but also the entire business process of producing macroeconomic statistics are based
deserve a deep understanding. It is extremely important to note that the challenges that time has
brought, and which can often make GDP the subject of criticism, do not mean that the SNA has exhausted
its potential or that its uniqueness has become questionable.
The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the main methodological findings through which SNA
was formed into a unique accounting system and thus became one of the greatest inventions of the 20th
century. In this paper, we present view, not that the SNA calculates GDP, but how it calculates GDP, which
we believe is what actually earns the system a place among the greatest inventions. On the other hand,
the paper examines some aspects of the recent criticism of GDP and points to the dangers that can be appeared
by developing this issue unwisely; it tries to consider whether the arguments of GDP critics to replace
it with other statistical instruments are justified.
Domestic violence in Georgia: acute reality and statistics
(Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University Press, 2024) Abesadze, Nino; Gelashvili, Simon; Kvirikashvili, Giorgi
Domestic violence in Georgia is a significant, painful, and pressing issue. It manifests in various forms,
and efforts to combat it and ensure the prevention of violence are increasing within society.
The aim of this paper is to identify and statistically analyze current trends in domestic violence in Georgia.
The research process employed methods of statistical observation, data collection and grouping, and
analysis. During the analysis stage, various statistical indicators were calculated using the SPSS program.
The paper characterizes the causes of domestic violence and identifies provoking factors. It analyzes indicators
of calls to the hotline, the gender-age structure of victims and oppressors based on the forms of violence,
and the statistics of restraining and protective orders. The main trends of domestic violence are identified,
and patterns are established. Based on a comprehensive quantitative analysis of the results, specific
conclusions are drawn, and relevant recommendations are proposed.
