Science and Research

In agreement with the basic research orientation of the Faculty, its research activities focus in particular on the accredited study fields Applied Informatics, Accountancy, Statistics, and Operational Research and Econometrics as well as the accredited study fields for the third level of study Accountancy, Econometrics and Operations Research and Economic Informatics and are directed towards the following areas:

• The theoretical and practical problems of harmonising accounting practice in Slovakia with international practice,
  - the implementation of methods accounting, financial control and auditing,
  - methods of accounting for acquisitions and mergers,
  - analysis of the current theoretical and methodological approaches to the solving of fundamental problems in accounting,
  - analysis of national accounting standards in Slovakia in the context of international standards, in particular European Union Directives, International Accounting Standards IAS/IFRS, International Public Sector Accounting Standards IPSAS, and US GAAP.
• The problems associated with the analysis of socio-economic development indicators from the point of view of the Slovak regions,
  - the problems associated with the analysis of decision-making processes in the statistical management of quality costs, using the Taguchi methodology,
  - the problems associated with the analysis of the current economic development of the industrial and building sectors in Slovakia,
  - optimising quality costs, using the Taguchi methodology,
  - analysis of time series,
  - application of the methods of discriminatory and cluster analysis and multidimensional analysis to the problem of analysing economic effectiveness and the relationship of economic inputs and outputs in the Slovak industrial sector,
  - data-mining.
• Deepening and perfecting knowledge in the areas of financial and insurance mathematics with emphasis on the study of actuarial models in life and non-life insurance, in pension and health insurance and in the area of investment.
  - the move from exact actuarial models to approximations and estimates,
  - the construction of special approaches to portfolio analysis and the analysis of risk covers by investigating extreme risks and extra risks,
  - product pricing and profit modelling in life insurance companies,
  - the funding of pension payments, the classification and projection of sickness payments,
  - the development of optimal reinsurance chains, support to decision-making processes in non-life insurers and the development of models for estimating insurance technical reserves.
• The development of quantitative methods for the analysis, estimation and optimisation of processes at the micro- and macro-economic levels,
  - modelling and quantitative analysis of tax yields in Slovakia,
  - portfolio theory and its application in Slovakia,
  - analysis and forecasting of potential economic developments in Slovakia,
  - analysis and modelling of the profitability of distribution companies in the context of price regulation,
  - theoretical aspects of the formation of equilibrium conditions in companies, in the absence of and in the presence of regulatory mechanisms,
  - analysis of the current state of use of formalised methods for developing manufacturing and marketing strategies by Slovak companies,
  - the application of a systematic approach to the microeconomic analysis of a company based on system theory,
  - an explanation of how inflation (linked to the rise in money in circulation) and changes in the Slovak Koruna exchange rate affect the increase in economic effectiveness of economic growth,
  - analysis of how an economic system of Slovakia is functioning.
• The problems of developing and applying information systems in companies and other organisations, of distributed information systems and computer networks, of expert systems and artificial intelligence, of multi-agent systems and of the simulation of economic processes,
  - the problems of applying modern IT in practice,
  - the use of object properties and implementation patterns to create intelligent systems for use in analysing the requirements for and subsequent creation of an electronic testing system,
  - the development of e-learning,
  - an analysis of the current state of security and running of information systems,
  - to propose approaches and optimal solutions for a computer network and rules for its use, taking into account the limiting criteria and pedagogical aspects of informatics teaching in the FEI.

Since 2004 the Faculty of Economic Informatics in cooperation with the Slovak Society for Economic Informatics publishes the learned journal Economics and Informatics in Slovak language.

Together with the University of Novi Sad, Economics Faculty Subotica it publishes the international journal The International Scientific Journal of Management Information Systems in English.
