How much do meal tickets, social food tickets and holiday vouchers really contribute to Romania’s economy? And what happens when their value stops keeping up with prices?
We’re pleased to announce the fifth session of our Business Economics Data Science Lab Lectures series.

On 19 November, we welcome Adriana AnaMaria Davidescu (Alexandru), PhD, Professor, Diana Agafiței, PhD Student and Assistant Professor, and Maria-Bianca Bolboașă, PhD Student, for a scientific seminar presenting the findings of the 2026 impact study on value tickets.
The session will cover how value tickets spread through the economy using an input-output model, the contribution of meal tickets to GDP and employment (1.10% of GDP and 161,000 jobs supported in 2025), why indexation gave 0% in 2026 and how the formula can be fixed, and how cuts to social tickets and holiday vouchers have affected domestic tourism.
