2023-02-06T20:15:06+00:00

Households are the oldest and most numerous units of society where the majority of social and economic processes start. For their effective operation, these economic entities need to have sufficient assets and acquire appropriate sources of financing them. The main purpose of this paper is to prepare a household expenditure forecast for 2023-25, assuming a large share of white-noise series resulting from the turbulent environment, and to verify the hypothesis about the linearity of the trend function and the statistical significance of the trend line coefficient. To eliminate random fluctuations and extract the development trend, an analytical method was used in which the parameters of the trend function were estimated. Using extrapolation of the trend function, forecasts of monthly per capita expenditures were calculated for subsequent years until 2025.

2023-02-02T21:45:28+00:00

In the light of current pandemic-related events, the exacerbation of the armed conflict on Ukrainian territory, and the increase in the price of fossil fuels, there has been a serious threat to the maintenance of resilient food chains, which can be countered by rationalizing the usage of raw materials and production sources, and increasing the use of post-production wastes of plant origin as a substitute for non-renewable energy. The aim of this research is to present the use of e-commerce instruments in sell-buy transactions of chosen coffee waste products. The theoretical part of the study consists of comparative and synthetic analyses. The revised public source of information coming from well- -known organizations are used. The practical part of the study consists of in-depth expert structured interviews (N = 8). The results of the study are multi-faceted. The practical business examples shown in the article demonstrates the possibility of introducing a bio-circular economy on a large scale in Europe and Asia. The results can be used by state institutions for the implementation of a bio-circular economy policy in various types of production activities, e.g. biomass, bioenergy, feed, supplements, drugs to fight obesity and diabetes, cosmetics.
