Analiza factorilor emergenţi produselor noi în condiţiile globalizării
(Editura ASEM, 2009) Stratan, Alexandru
Diferenţele dintre pieţele naţionale sunt reduse; cererea şi oferta sunt exprimate la nivel global. Având în vedere aceste condiţii, globalizarea afacerilor este un proces cuprinzător impus de necesitate. Firmele multinaţionale decid cu privire la poziţionarea producţiei, din punct de vedere a raţionalizării la nivel global. Lucrarea elucidează factorii care au o influenţă foarte importantă asupra procesului de dezvoltare a noilor produse. Este interesant faptul că unii factori au influenţă ambivalent (atât sporesc, cât şi scad procesul dezvoltării produselor noi).

Assessing the export performance in transition countries : the case of the Republic of Moldova
(2011) Stratan, Alexandru; Clipa, Victoria
Despite their common legacy of central planning and of a new beginning in the ’90s, transition countries have achieved different export performances. Although there is not a consensus among economists on the dimension of exports impact on economic growth, the non-performance or poor performance of exports may indicate inadequate policy reforms that by consequence do hinder economic growth. The purpose of this paper is to make an assessment of performances that Republic of Moldova’s exports have achieved after 20 years of transition compared to other countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

Competitiveness of Moldova’s Agri-food Trade: Challenges and Perspectives
(2023) Duca, Gheorghe; Stratan, Alexandru; Gutium, Tatiana
One of the conditions for increasing the competitiveness of the national economy of Moldova is the promotion of the export of competitive goods. Considering that the Republic of Moldova is mainly relying on its agri-food sector, and it was granted the status of a candidate country for accession to the European Union, the object of research is the Competitiveness of Moldova’s Agrifood Trade. The principal purpose of this study is to determine the directions for modernizing the structure of the agri-food complex to increase its competitiveness in the context of deepening the integration processes in the European space. The authors assessed the trends and prospects for the trade of food products and agricultural raw materials between Moldova and European Union countries. In this aim statistical and econometric methods were applied. The results of the study showed that a promising direction in the development of economic relations between Moldova and the European Union was the formation of clusters with a high potential for competitiveness. For a better integration into the European food products market with minimal loss, there is a strong need in establishing direct economic links and implementation of joint investment projects.

Concepţia calculelor indicatorilor eficienţei utilizării mijloacelor fixe
(2011) Parmacli, Dmitrii; Stratan, Alexandru
The last decade has been marked by a series of events which ought to facilitate the foreign trade of the Republic of Moldova. The most important are considered to be the R. Moldova’s accession to WTO and the preferential trade regimes that Moldova are benefiting from the main trading partners. But, despite this, the external trade growth trend in this period was determined rather by an accelerated growth in imports than that in exports. In this context a question appears “why in condition of free access in the main export markets for the majority of products, our exports remain so small?”
Contribuţii teoretice privind paradigma sinergetică de dezvoltare economică
(IEFS, 2011) Rotaru, Anatol; Stici, Viorica; Stratan, Alexandru
One of the main new development directions of modern economic science is synergetic economy, based upon the chaotic and fractal nonlinear, unbalanced, unstable, irreversible and bifurcated paradigm. The economic system is an open synergetic nonlinear system, which is altered by substance, energy and the external informational environment. In this type of system a variety of evolution scenarios are possible as well as the emergence of different macroscopic and economic conditions. In this article certain cooperative, nonlinear and stochastic phenomena in composite hierarchical economic systems are investigated. Certain nonlinear problems of economic development are addressed; all enshrined in the context of economic growth, recession, economic revival and output of economic systems to different attractor structures.
Cooperation for Innovation: Opportunities and Challenges for SMEs (The Case of the Republic of Moldova)
(LUMEN Publishing, 2020) Stratan, Alexandru; Novac, Alexandra; Vinogradova, Natalia
In the contemporary economy, the sustainable growth of the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can be ensured provided that innovations are implemented in enterprises. The innovative potential of enterprises can be raised through various methods, including cooperation with other enterprises and researchers. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the innovation activity of SMEs in the Republic of Moldova and identify opportunities and barriers to cooperation of SMEs with other enterprises and research institutions in the Republic of Moldova in order to develop and/or implement innovations. The results of the research showed that in the Republic of Moldova, SMEs are quite reluctant and passive in cooperating with other companies and research institutions to implement innovations. Moreover, for the most part, Moldovan SMEs are not aware of the need to implement innovations based on research results, but researchers - of the need to market their results.
Corelarea dintre datoria publică, deficitul bugetar şi politica fiscală
(Tipografia AŞM, 2016) Manole, Tatiana; Stratan, Alexandru
The concept of public debt and taxation policy have become interesting even since the eighteenth century, when the classics had seen an increase in public debt through the increase of future taxes. In this article, the authors attempt to find the correlation among public debt, budget deficit and state fiscal policy. The degree of correlation of these macroeconomic financial indicators may be very different, depending on several of possible factors, such as fiscal policy promoted by the state, the country’s economic potential and capacity of the Government to promote a good management of public finances.
Corelarea politicilor agroalimentare cu politica economică a ţării: aspect metodologic
(IEFS, 2013) Stratan, Alexandru

Thus, the article addresses the issue of linking the country's agricultural policy with the overall economic policy. Conditions and agricultural traditions in Moldova can serve as a basis for overcoming the problems of farmers.
Costs: key element of financial control
(Institute of Society Transformation, 2018) Stratan, Alexandru; Manole, Tatiana
Costs always stay in the focus of financial managers, being an important indicator with a degrading impact on the benefit of the entity. The authors review the evolution of costs: from actual costs to standard activity-based costs (ABC) and those with a social impact. In terms of developing costs, we found out that at the stage basic production of raw materials, direct costs outweigh indirect costs, yet in the process of processing raw materials into finished products, we observe a reverse process - indirect costs outweigh direct costs, which is a process related to a cost-per-activity. The basic producer is disadvantaged. Therefore, we believe that a new state strategy on producer price is needed. Some researchers believe that standard costs should be abandoned, moving to activity-based costs. We consider that standard costs are necessary for the public-budget sector. We also believe that the cost-benefit analysis (CBA), with a social character, justifies, first of all, the obtained social result and then the costs. CBA quantify the value of the consequences of state policy on the members of society. Standard costs should not be abandoned. They are a guideline, and a benchmark of scientifically established costs. Yet, they should be reviewed each year, reflecting the changes taking place in the country’s economy. We see this phenomenon in determining the standard cost per weighted pupil at financing the pre-university education in the Republic of Moldova. In agriculture, the notion of standard cost does not have to be standardised. This stage is past, outdated. At the same time, it is necessary to investigate the costs of activities. We propose to use a parity price policy, which would balance inter-relationships, especially between agriculture and industry. This is a necessity determined by the economic character of the Republic of Moldova. Therefore, the Ministry of Economy of The Republic of Moldova should calculate activity costs, new cost accounting and market pricing, giving priority to the primary producer, the raw material manufacturer. In this research, since it is difficult to analyse costs by activity in agriculture, we analysed the related process by phases: the raw material production phase and the processing stage in several agricultural crops (wheat, maize, and sunflower). The analysis demonstrates the impact of costs on the absolute benefit per one hectare and the profitability per one hectare, these two financial indicators being based on costs and the market price of one tonne of cereals. The authors’ research on the financing of gymnasiums has demonstrated the financial efforts made by the state to finance schools with a number of weighted pupils equal to or less than 41 weighted pupils or 91 weighted pupils. Expenditures are high, but the quality of studies is very low. The problem must be solved for the benefit of large district-performing schools. We believe that money spent inefficiently for the maintenance of schools should be directed to create the conditions for the children coming from small schools (gymnasiums) to conventional schools where there are highly qualified teachers. The cost-per-activity model demonstrates that indirect costs significantly outweigh direct costs. We also believe that the standard-based cost system can be applied more effectively with regard to public services, as in the case of Moldova.
The costs: theoretical and practical approaches
("Victor Slăvescu" Centre for Financial and Monetary Research, Romanian Academy, Bucharest, 2018) Manole, Tatiana; Stratan, Alexandru
In this article, the authors studied the evolutionary process of costs, from actual costs to standard costs and activity costs. In the process of developing the costs, we found that at the basic raw material production stage, direct costs outweigh the indirect costs, but in the process of transforming the raw material into finished products there is a reverse process - indirect costs outweigh the costs direct, process related to cost-per-activity. That is why we believe that a new state strategy is needed on the producer price. We also think that although there are negative approaches to standard costs, these costs are welcome to fund social activities. We also consider that cost-benefit analysis of a social nature justifies, firstly, the social result obtained, and then costs. Therefore, the use of the concept of costs must be in line with the nature of the economic and social domain.
