The theoretical analysis of compensation for labor that is based on both Lithuanian and foreign author’s scientific literature is presented in this thesis. In this analysis is discussed the terminology, as well as major influences indexes of compensation for labor. Also is presented several different compensation systems by different authors. The object of this thesis is compensation system of join stock company “Baltic packaging”. There was research conducted based on “Baltic packaging” compensation system. The goal of this thesis is to examine mill workers compensation system as well as all the merits available to them. The goal includes examining the way employees are interpreting their compensation system, and to determine their wants and needs. After careful analysis there is presented the plan how to improve the compensation system in “Baltic packaging”. This corporation’s compensation system’s improvement plan has been evaluated based on comparison between actual organizational numbers and the numbers produced by the implementing potential compensation plans All the information presented in this thesis is based on results from actual research, as well as on scientific literature by Lithuanian and foreign authors, laws, and various databases.

This thesis examines the measurement, applications and properties of consumer inflation expectations in the context of eight European Union countries: France, Germany, the UK, Spain, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Sweden. The data proceed mainly from the European Commission's Consumer Survey and are qualitative in nature, therefore requiring quantification prior to use. This study first seeks to determine the optimal quantification methodology among a set of approaches spanning three traditions, associated with Carlson-Parkin (1975), Pesaran (1984) and Seitz (1988). The success of a quantification methodology is assessed on the basis of its ability to match quantitative expectations data and on its behaviour in an important economic application, namely the modelling of wages for our sample countries. The wage equation developed here draws on the theoretical background of the staggered contracts and the wage bargaining literature, and controls carefully for inflation expectations and institutional variables. The Carlson-Parkin variation proposed in Curto Millet (2004) was found to be the most satisfactory. This being established, the wage equations are used to test the hypothesis that the advent of EMU generated an increase in labour market flexibility, which would be reflected in structural breaks. The hypothesis is essentially rejected. Finally, the properties of inflation expectations and perceptions themselves are examined, especially in the context of EMU. Both the rational expectations and rational perceptions hypotheses are rejected. Popular expectations mechanisms, such as the "rule-of-thumb" model or Akerlof et al.'s (2000) "near-rationality hypothesis" are similarly unsupported. On the other hand, evidence is found for the transmission of expert forecasts to consumer expectations in the case of the UK, as in Carroll's (2003) model. The distribution of consumer expectations and perceptions is also considered, showing a tendency for gradual (as in Mankiw and Reis, 2002) but non-rational adjustment. Expectations formation is further shown to have important qualitative features.
