Key Drivers of Economic Development in Kosovo: Innovation, Digitalization, and Organizational Performance.

Abstract

The Faculty of Economics at AAB College focuses on key areas critical for understanding economic development, governance, and institutional performance, particularly in developing economies like Kosovo. Research topics include the impact of active labor policies on economic growth, the role of innovation in enterprise performance, and the importance of institutional frameworks. Active labor policies, such as job training and wage subsidies, improve labor market efficiency and reduce unemployment. Innovation drives productivity and competitiveness, while strengthening microfinance institutions enhances financial inclusion. The research also explores the optimal balance between government involvement and market freedom for sustainable growth. These studies provide valuable insights for policymakers, businesses, and academic inquiry.
