The empirical approach uses three different methodologies: the principal component analysis, factor analysis and regression analysis on the monthly statistical data collected during the period from 2000 to 2007. In the regression analysis the dependent variable isused as the differential between the catering industry price index and the consumer price index. The regression analysis confirmed that the catering industry price index and the differential of the catering industry price indexand the consumer price index, respectively, are positively associated with wages, tourist arrivals, and with the Euro adoption, respectively. The two common components are identified by using the principal component analysis: first, the general level of prices and wages in the catering industry and second, the Euro price adoption and later Euro price stabilization, and demand for catering industry services. We also used factor analysis to check the robustness of the principal component method results. This paper focuses on the Euro adoption in Slovenia and its transmission to catering industry prices.

Empirični pristop z metodo glavnih komponent, s faktorsko analizo in z regresijsko analizo nam na mesečnih statističnih podatkih v obdobju 2000-2007 poda pomembne ugotovitve razvoja cen v gostinstvu. Z regresijsko analizo, kjer kot odvisno spremenljivko uporabimo razliko indeksa cen v gostinstvu z indeksom cen življenjskih potrebščin, prikaemo, da je razlika pozitivno povezana s plačami, številom turistov in z uvedbo evra. Z metodo glavnih komponent sta bili ugotovljeni dve skupni komponenti: prvič, splošna raven cen in plače v gostinstvu, in drugič uvedba evra in kasnejše stabiliziranje cen v evrih in povpraševanje po gostinskih storitvah. Faktorska analiza je bila uporabljena, da smo preverili stabilnost rezultatov metode glavnih komponentTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZaložba Univerze na Primorskem
