In the new operating conditions of the society in which we live, it is necessary to find new sources of funding, which, alongside the traditional sources of education funding, should provide the necessary funds deployment, the development and modernization of teaching process in higher education. The solution to this problem seems to be the education loan contracts which students often find as the best option

Our knowledge of the organization and financing of education in most major countries of the world, as an example and a way for a better understanding of the progress achieved during the transition and directions to be followed to achieve compatibility and standards system at our higher education worldwide. International experience has shown that public financing of higher education, to meet present requirements, likely mixed: - core funding, budget allocations, ensuring access to education, quality and consistency of teaching; - additional funding obtained by the institution's own efforts and resources, other than the state budget. Moreover, an important step in the reform process was a replacement funding budget chapters with overall funding of the university-based institutional contract with the Ministry of Education. This change was a way to get better performance in education and research through a better management of financial resources. Thus, the financing of public universities will be determined by the performance and efficiency criteria.

This study examines the validity of Okun’s law in Romania over the period 1994–2024, with a particular focus on the sustainability and inclusiveness of economic growth. The empirical analysis uses annual data from the World Bank’s World Development Indicators and applies the differential form of Okun’s law, relating changes in the unemployment rate to real GDP growth. A baseline specification is estimated alongside an extended model that includes investment and inflation as macroeconomic controls. The results indicate a negative but weak relationship between economic growth and changes in the unemployment rate. Across all model specifications, the estimated Okun coefficients are small and statistically insignificant, suggesting limited labor market responsiveness to output growth. Including investment and inflation modestly improves the explanatory power of the model but does not fundamentally alter the results. Overall, the findings point to the prevalence of jobless growth, where economic expansion has not translated into substantial employment gains. The evidence suggests that economic growth in Romania over the past three decades has had a limited capacity to reduce unemployment. From a sustainability perspective, these findings highlight the importance of complementing growth-oriented strategies with structural and labor market policies aimed at strengthening the employment-generating potential of economic growth and supporting inclusive and sustainable development.

This research examines the integration of eco-economics principles into environmental policy management, with a focus on resource limitations and pollution resulting from economic activities. This study aims to identify rational behaviors in energy sector companies that promote sustainable production and consumption practices. A survey of 232 respondents, all employees from companies within the energy sector, was conducted to examine the inclination towards eco-efficient economic behavior and the impact of environmental policies on production processes. The research methodology combines quantitative and qualitative approaches, using econometric models and statistical analysis to interpret responses to a structured questionnaire. The findings contribute to a broader understanding of how companies can align their production methods with sustainable growth policies, mainly through creative and non-polluting technologies. This research highlights the importance of integrating environmental policy into business strategies to promote long-term sustainability and green economic practices.
