Finanzen
3. Finanzen
Vermögensentwicklung und Erfolgsrechnung 2001
Im Kalenderjahr 2001 hat sich die Vermögensposition der Nationalökonomischen Gesellschaft um ATS 163,334.18
(Euro 11,869.96) auf ein gesamtes Finanzvermögen ATS 877,988.55 (Euro 63,805.92) verbessert. Diese
Verbesserung ergibt sich vorwiegend aus den eingegangen Mitgliedsbeiträgen und den Subventionen einzelner
Sponsoren.
Die Einnahmen von ATS 286,354.35 (Euro 20,810.18) setzten sich zusammen aus:
• ATS 153,152.09 aus Mitgliedsbeiträgen
• ATS 129,999.96 aus Förderungen (OeNB, Wirtschaftskammer, P.S.K.)
• ATS 3,202.30 Zinsen.
Die Ausgaben von ATS 146,696.15 (Euro 10,660.82) setzten sich zusammen aus:
• ATS 88,200.- Jahrestagung
• ATS 30,000.- Young Economist Award
• ATS 3,000.- Homepage
• ATS 2,298.08 Kontoführung
• ATS 800,57 KESt
• ATS 12,397.50 Versand Empirica
• ATS 10,000.-Unterstützung für "18th Annual Meeting of the European Association for Law and Economics" in
Wien (Prof. Weigel)
Berücksichtigt man die geplanten Streichungen aus der Mitgliederliste, dann sind noch folgende Beiträge
ausständig:
1999
2000
2001
ATS 0
ATS 16,300
ATS 23,400
Die gesamte Vermögensposition setzt sich aus Veranlagungen in Schillinganleihen (gemäß Wertpapierdepot ca 62%
des gesamten Finanzvermögens) und einem Kassabestand auf dem Girokonto (ca 38% des gesamten
Finanzvermögens) zusammen.
Der Bestand des Vermögens gemäß Wertpapierdepot und Wertpapier Girokonto stieg von ATS 516,943.37 am
31.12.2000 auf ATS 540,619.35 am 31.12.2001. Dies entspricht einem Zuwachs von 4.6%.
Ausblick für das Jahr 2002
Vom Verlagshaus Kluwer wurde uns bis dato keine Rechnung für die Zeitschrift "Empirica" vorgelegt. Es ist mit
einer Forderung von ca. 10,000 Euro zu rechnen. Die "International Economic Association" stellte uns USD 9,000
für ausstehende Mitgliedsbeiträge zwischen 1997 und 2002 in Rechnung. Nach unseren Aufzeichnungen belaufen
sich unsere Schulden aber auf USD 7,500. Diese Diskrepanz wird abgeklärt. Sonst sind keine offenen
Verbindlichkeiten bekannt.
Für 2002 dürfen wir mit Mitgliedsbeiträgen in Höhe von ca. ATS 130,000 (Euro 9450) rechnen.
Die Jahrestagung 2002 wird mit ca. ATS 165,000 (Euro 12,000) von der Telekom Austria unterstützt. Die Prämien
für den Young Economist Award werden von der Bank Austria übernommen.
Die erwarteten Mitgliedsbeiträge und Förderungen dürften daher ausreichen, die offenen Verbindlichkeiten zu
decken.
