Based on our results, online banking solutions cannot fully replace personal banking in Hungary due to the customers' attitudes, as we can see that their use does not significantly affect the frequency of visits to the bank branch, and their usage rate does not increase with the distance from the bank branch.

The justification for the shortening of the long supply chains can be argued from the perspectives of supply security and sustainability. Furthermore, the economic validation of sustainability considerations is receiving increasing attention in professional discourse, sparking public debate. One of the primary tensions underlying these polemics is the conflict between short-term economic interests and long-term sustainability and environmental considerations. These interests often contradict each other, and the ongoing professional debate surrounding the shortening of supply chains provides relevant insight into these conflicts. However, the supply disruptions resulting from COVID-19 have re-emphasized the importance of supply security, prompting many economic actors to reconsider their supply strategies. The growing significance of supply security is evident in surveys, expert analyses, and economic strategic documents. The energy challenges posed by the Russian-Ukrainian war have, in turn, prompted EU policymakers to reform the energy strategy. The risks associated with energy security highlighted the vulnerabilities stemming from dependency on external fossil-based energy sources. This article aims to answer the question of how short-term economic interests and longer-term sustainability goals can be reconciled in light of the supply disruptions experienced during COVID-19 and the Russian-Ukrainian war. It does this through a literature review of professional debates and relevant expert analyses, strategic EU documents, and by examining key indicators of the EU's energy dependence. The restructuring of the EU's energy policy demonstrates the feasibility of rapidly implementing major transformations in complex systems when necessary. Beyond facilitating professional discourse, the experiences from these events can also boost the European green transition, as a green Europe built on its renewable resources can be more resilient against challenges of the future. This is in line with both economic and environmental objectives. The main conclusion of the research is that the EU's successful transition to renewable energy sources, in addition to achieving environmental goals, can contribute to reducing external risks through the alleviation of energy dependence. Furthermore, energy security provided by its own energy sources facilitates the growth of the real economy and underpins the EU's geopolitical position.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {2064-3004}, pages = {93-110}, orcid-numbers = {Alpek, Balázs Levente/0000-0001-9637-3693} } @article{MTMT:34150940, title = {The Effect of Turbulencies Caused by Covid-19 Epidemic on the Trends of the Spatial Structure of the Hungarian Economy}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34150940}, author = {Szabó, Zoltán Tamás and Alpek, Balázs Levente}, doi = {10.24387/CI.2023.SPECIAL ISSUE.5}, journal-iso = {CONTROLLER INFO}, journal = {CONTROLLER INFO}, volume = {10}, unique-id = {34150940}, issn = {2063-9309}, year = {2023}, pages = {32-42}, orcid-numbers = {Alpek, Balázs Levente/0000-0001-9637-3693} } @article{MTMT:34125404, title = {Opportunities for the Central European, especially the Slovakian and Hungarian economies, based on the regionalization policies of the EU and the reshaping global value chains}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34125404}, author = {Szabó, Zoltán Tamás and Alpek, Balázs Levente}, journal-iso = {SELYE E-STUDIES}, journal = {SELYE E-STUDIES}, volume = {14}, unique-id = {34125404}, issn = {1338-1598}, year = {2023}, pages = {50-68}, orcid-numbers = {Alpek, Balázs Levente/0000-0001-9637-3693} } @article{MTMT:33085573, title = {Impacts of the international students’ consumption expenditures on the national economy in Hungary, 2020}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33085573}, author = {Alpek, Balázs Levente and M.

Further, these economic impacts have spillover effects through intersectoral relations. Their patterns are in correlation, inter alia, with the system of supplier networks, the characteristics of products and product groups, and the contributions realised in the fields required to produce goods and services. Accordingly, the effect of one consumption unit is multiplied as it ♭passes through' through these relations systems, and thus, many other sectors of the economy may also benefit from it beyond the producers and service providers directly involved. To measure these spillover effects, the present study relied on the findings of a questionnaire survey conducted among students in the academic year of 2019/2020 (n=6296 students), the input-output analysis (IOA) published by the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (HCSO), and the multipliers calculated based on that as well as other data items of the HCSO. The results showed that in 2020, as a result of international students' consumption, 213 billion HUF worth of total output and approximately 124 billion worth of gross value-added were generated in the national economy as a whole. Moreover, student consumption also generated imports, amounting to approximately 25 billion HUF. In addition to the above dimensions, the consumption of students generated employment, and thus, income. As a consequence of the spending by the respective groups of international students, approximately 20,000 new jobs were created in the national economy as a whole, and the generated income exceeded 67 billion HUF, of which 53 billion were spent on wages and salaries. The results of the study are beneficial for all those who are affected by the presence of international students, the higher education institutions hosting them, and businesses building on their demands, and in a broad sense, the entire population of the host cities.
