Abstract (english)
The aim of this paper is to analyze the main determinants of the economic life in Croatian municipalities. For that purpose, we collected data related to the municipal budgets and business results of entrepreneurs registered in 427 municipalities during 2007-2011 period. In order to determine and study the variations in municipal economic outcomes related to the size of municipalities, their administrative status (municipalities belonging to the areas of state national concern, hill and mountain areas, and island areas), their geographic location and dominant political party in the municipality, we apply multivariate statistics methods (Levene’s test of variance homogeneity, ANOVA, and Sheffe post-hoc test). The results suggest that size of the municipalities explains the variation related to municipal fiscal capacity and average net earnings of inhabitants living in municipalities. The political affiliation of a mayor is related to the differences in the relative amount of aid granted from the central government budget, fiscal capacity and indebtness, while the differences in administrative status of municipalities account for discrepancies observed in employment, average net earnings, indebtedness, central government aid, and expenditures for social protection. The basic conclusion of research is that Croatian municipalities differ significantly in the majority of the analyzed economic determinants and that current administrative status should be subject to the general local government reform, not only in special status and number of local units but also in fiscal equalization process.
Abstract (croatian)
Cilj ovog članka je analizirati temeljne sastavnice ekonomskog života u hrvatskim općinama. U svrhu izrade analize prikupljena je baza podataka za 427 općine koja sadrži podatke o izvršenju proračuna općina i poslovanju poduzetnika registriranih u općinama u razdoblju od 2007. do 2011. U analizi se koriste metode multivarijantne statistike (Levenov test homogenosti varijance, ANOVA i Sheffeov post-hoc test), kako bi se utvrdile i proučile razlike u ekonomskim rezultatima koje nastaju zbog veličine općina, administrativnog statusa općine (općine koje potpadaju u područja posebne državne skrbi, brdsko planinska područja, otočna područja naspram općinama koje taj status nemaju), pripadnosti općine većim administrativnim jedinicama i regijama te stranačke pripadnosti načelnika općine. Rezultati analize sugeriraju da veličina općina objašnjava varijaciju u fiskalnom kapacitetu općina i prosječnoj plaći zaposlenih koji žive u općinama. Politička pripadnost načelnika općina povezana je s razlikama u primljenoj pomoći od središnje države, zaduženosti, i fiskalnog kapaciteta, dok posebni administrativni status općina objašnjava odstupanja u razini zaposlenosti, prosječne neto plaće, državne pomoći i rashoda za socijalnu zaštitu općina. Osnovni zaključak rada je da se hrvatske općine značajno razlikuju u većini promatranih ekonomskih pokazatelja te da bi postojeći administrativni status trebao biti predmetom opće reforme lokalne samouprave, ne samo u pogledu posebnih statusa i broja lokalnih jedinica nego i u pogledu procesa fiskalnog izravnanja.
