Abstract: Nothing is fostering innovations in higher education faster than 'demand for required solution' and 'demand for stronger position or leadership.' The first demand is for friendly cooperation among institutions; the second is for competition. Noticeably, that second demand, highlighting a few important aspects, is closely related to the first one – gaining a stronger position sometimes means a sort of contribution in order to solve related problems. The Vice versa effect, when the successful solution strengthens the position in the market, is also frequent. In order to cover the wide spectrum of demand, both 'solution' and 'leadership' should be understood in an extensive context. Analysis
of related preconditions proves that both cooperation and competition are essential elements of the behavioral policy of higher education institutions.

Abstract: Following the process of globalization, human capital has turned into a major driver of economic growth and countries around the world are up in a global race for “best and brightest”. The countries of origin of highly skilled migrants (HSMs), such as Moldova, represent a country where the impact of skilled migration on development are new issues on the public agenda. HSMs could become the spillovers of development if a state succeeds to implement effective political, social and economic reform, creating a favorable domestic enabling environment for returnees.

Abstract: Human capital is one of the few resources that can offer to the Republic of Moldova a comparative advantage. However, if labor is not specialized in fields required by potential investors – job providers – human capital remains an untapped resource. The development of human resources and the efficient use of existing potential are two of the most important factors contributing to comprehensive economic growth of Georgia. Fast economic growth is an important precondition for increasing population's welfare and reducing poverty. At the same time, creation of equal opportunities for developing human capital through provision of quality services, social justice and strengthening the social systems is necessary as it provides access to quality education and healthcare systems. This research paper consists in an analysis of the political views of Moldova and
Georgia's Government on Education sector. Also, to understand better the issues related to this area, I will focus my attention more on the financial aspects of this sector. In order to obtain the correct comparative analysis of the Moldova and Georgia' situation, I will use the macroeconomic aggregates. The methods used in this research document are chronologically and progressive analysis. Finally, it is supposed to be able to respond at the question: the Government of Moldova and Georgia's Management of the Education sector. The Magic wand or the Achilles heel?

Abstract: International labor migration is one of the most marked phenomenon that characterize the current situation on the Moldovan labor market. Geographical and gender distribution in labor migration is largely determined by the type of work that provide migrant workers. Women migrate to provide domestic and care services abroad, delegating in the same time their responsibilities in this area to other people, leads to the constitution of so-called global care chains. Migration with the purpose of study in Moldova is accompanied by a negative phenomenon, of the departure of highly qualified specialists. International migration of highly skilled labor, known as "brain drain"clearly evokes a loss of intellectual capital. Moldova continues to be characterized as an origin country of human beings trafficking, being at lesser extent a country of transit of human trafficking victims from
NIS countries to Europe. The lack of some measures from the Government on “human capital loss” problem will essentially reduce the chances of exit from the crisis.

Abstract: Entrepreneurship is often ubiquitous in developing countries, and many entrepreneurs operate in the informal economy and are often involved in unproductive activity. While entrepreneurs seek to maximize their returns given the existing institutions, they also respond to the level of state capacity and the supporting structures of national and regional governance. We tackle the question of governmental legitimacy given that entrepreneurs in Eastern Europe operate in states with weak governance institutions. We test the degree to which the standard maximization of private returns decision holds by surveying informal entrepreneurs in the Republic of Moldova. The institutions that
determine high versus low state capacity motivate entrepreneurs toward a productive or unproductive use of resources and the capacity of government also impacts their pursuit of private returns resulting in higher social costs. We find that Moldovan entrepreneurs evade taxation for reasons beyond simple maximization rules.
