The aim of the paper is the statistical analysis of the determinants of regional diversification of wages in the Polish counties between 2003 and 2009. According to the efficiency wages model of Solow (1979) and Summers (1988) and neoclassical models of economic growth of Solow (1956), Nonneman, Vanhoudt (1996) and optimal control model of Lucas (1988) the level of the relative wages are determined by the unemployment rates and the relative labor productivity. The descriptions of regional diversification of wages and its determinants are described. Additionally, the simple theoretical model of regional diversification of wages is constructed and the parameters of this model were estimated. These are the estimations of the wage function for 379 counties and 16 voivodeships in Poland.

The author analyzes the regional diversification of labor productivity, the capital-labor ratio, and total factor productivity (TFP) in Poland’s provinces in 1995-2007. He also undertakes to endogenize TFP on the basis of statistical data describing the structure of value added generated in agriculture, industry, construction and services, as well as data on the development of transport infrastructure, including the density of freeways, expressways and rail lines. Using the concept of the macroeconomic function of production, Tokarski estimates TFP for each province in 1995-2007. Then the TFP levels are endogenized on the basis of variables describing the sector structure of the product market and the development of transportation infrastructure. The analyses described in the paper show that provinces with a higher proportion of value added generated in the service sector generally display a higher level of TFP. Among the variables describing transport infrastructure, the freeway and expressway network density has a statistically significant positive effect on TFP, while the density of rail lines does not have such an effect, the author says.

The paper aims to determine an optimal structure of investment rates under an N-capital growth model. This model is a combination and expansion of models developed by Solow [1956]; Mankiw, Romer, Weil [1992]; Nonneman, Vanhoudt [1996]; and Tokarski [1996; 2000; 2003; 2005], with elements of optimal control models by Ramsey [1928], Lucas [1988] and Romer [1986, 1990]. The economic growth model described in the paper is based on the following assumptions: - The stream of products generated in the economy is influenced by a finite N amount of capital, labor and technology resources; it is also assumed that labor and technology resources grow according to certain exogenous growth rates; - The increase of each of the analyzed capital stocks is the difference between investment in this capital and its depreciation; these assumptions refer to the neoclassical growth models developed by Solow, Mankiw-Romer-Weil, and Nonneman-Vanhoudt; - A typical rationally behaving consumer (much as in the case of endogenous growth models developed by Lucas and Romer) seeks a long-term investment rate structure that will maximize the usefulness of consumption in an infinite period of time; - Additionally, an assumption is made that the macroeconomic production function in the described growth model does not have to be characterized by a constant scale effect (as earlier noted by Tokarski [1996, 2003 or 2005]). The model described by the author is solved using Pontryagin’s maximum principle.

The paper focuses on the neoclassical production function and its influence on the economic growth model proposed by N. Gregory Mankiw, David Romer and David N. Weil [1992]. The model is an expanded version of the traditional neoclassical model developed by Robert M. Solow [1956]. In the context of the production function, the author examines the influence of scale effects on long-term growth and basic macroeconomic variables such as output, physical capital, human capital and consumption per worker. He also reviews scale effects in terms of Edmund S. Phelps’ golden rules of capital accumulation [1961, 1966]. The analysis includes differential equations of the type used by Bernoulli and Riccati to describe increases in physical and human capital stock per unit of effective labor (in the case of constant scale effects) and increases in capital stock growth rates (in the case of decreasing and growing scale effects). The paper ends with a number of important conclusions. First, under constant scale effects, the long-term rates of growth for basic macroeconomic variables are equal to the rate of Harrod-neutral technological progress (which is an exogenous variable in the Mankiw-Romer-Weil model). Second, under decreasing/growing scale effects, these rates are lower/higher than the rate of Harrod-neutral technological progress. Third, repealing the constant-scale-effects assumption in the Mankiw-Romer-Weil growth model does not change the golden rules of capital accumulation because, regardless of whether scale effects decrease, grow or are constant, the golden rule of accumulation holds that the structure of investment rates corresponds to the elasticities of output with regard to physical and human capital inputs.

This study provides an analysis of monetary policy rules base on the Domar-Solow growth model. The study adopts the following assumptions: 1. Investment affects both the demand and the supply-side of the economy. Thanks to multiplier effects, the rise in investment involves demand growth (the Domar model), and through capital formation it adds to aggregate supply (Domar and Solow models). 2. Investment is a decreasing function of the interest rate, which is set by the central bank. 3. Supply is generated by the neoclassical production function (the Solow model). 4. The central bank sets interest rates at such a level so that (i) demand equalled supply, thus leading to full capacity utilisation in the economy; (ii) the unemployment rate was stable. The main conclusions to be drawn from the above model are the following: 1. The capital growth rate is described by the Riccati Differential Equation, which provides a stable long-term solution. 2. Growth rates of interest rates should be decreasing, linear functions of the growth rate of capital and should be (generally) negative. 3. The model excludes the so-called Domar paradox involved with the "knife-edge" issue due to the flexible capital-intensity ratio represented in the function. 4. Long-term capital and GDP growth rates are lower than is the case with the Solow growth model.

The author examines unemployment in different regions of Poland and its determinants in 1999-2006. The analysis focuses on differences in joblessness at the county (local) level. The discussion of the regional diversification of unemployment is combined with analyses describing the diversification of unemployment on local labor markets in sectors such as agriculture, industry, construction, market services, and non-market services. The statistical analyses described in the article are based on a simple linear regression method. The analyses show that the lowest jobless rates were usually noted in large and medium-sized cities where most of the labor force is employed in the market services sector. Relatively low unemployment rates were also noted in agricultural counties in which small private farms absorbed labor market shocks. The highest unemployment rates were noted in post-industrial areas and areas that were formerly home to many state-run farms.

The common good is a fundamental term which is included in both canon law and secular law. However, the way of perceive this concept under these two different legal systems differs fundamentally. In canon law, the common good is usually referred to the political and ecclesiastical community. The common good of the Church is connected with the realisation of the community of the Church. In Polish law, however, the common good is a constitutional value and principle, which has a fundamental impact on the character of the state and relations between state and citizen. The purpose of this paper is to present the position and role of the common good in contemporary ecclesiastical and state legislation.

Dobro wspólne jest fundamentalnym pojęciem zarówno w prawie kanonicznym, jak i w prawie świeckim. Niemniej jednak sposób postrzegania tego pojęcia na gruncie tych dwóch odmiennych porządków prawnych różni się zasadniczo. W prawie kanonicznym dobro wspólne zazwyczaj odnoszone jest do wspólnoty politycznej i kościelnej. Dobro wspólne Kościoła związane jest z urzeczywistnianiem się wspólnoty Kościoła. Natomiast w prawie polskim dobro wspólne jest wartością i zasadą konstytucyjną, która ma zasadniczy wpływ na charakter państwa oraz relacje państwo-obywatel. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie miejsca i roli dobra wspólnego we współczesnym prawodawstwie kościelnym i państwowym.

The aim of the research is to conduct a statistical analysis of the influence of so called gravity effect and capital-labour ratio on regional diversification of labour productivity in 28 EU countries between 2000 and 2012. The analysis is based on a macroeconomic concept of Cobb-Douglass production function extended by mentioned before gravity effect. We assume (per analogium to Newton gravity law) that gravity effect which joins two countries is directly positively related to economic potential of both countries and reversely related to the squared geographic distance between them. Hence, countries with strong economic potential and close borders, have stronger economic influence on each other, than countries with low economic potential with big distance between them. The work consists of a description of diversification of gravity effect, capital-labour ratio and labour productivity in EU countries from 2000 to 2012. Moreover, the a statistical analysis of the influence of gravity effect and capital-labour ratio on labour.

The purpose of the article is to theoretically analyze the main determinants of long- -term economic growth by means of the n-capital Nonneman-Vanhoudt model. The model is an extension to neoclassical models of growth by Solow and by Mankiw, Romer and Weil. The economy is described by the general neoclassical Cobb-Douglas production function, in which n-capital factors are necessary in production, the factors being poor substitutes to each other. The article provides the reader with general conclusions formed on the basis this model.

The aim of this article is to compute taxonomic indicators of human capital across Polish regions (voivodships) as well as to determine their impact upon spatial distribution of basic macroeconomic categories (such as production sold per capita, gross capital assets, investment outlays per capita, wages, registered unemployment rate, number of REGON (National Business Registry Number) per 1000 inhabitants), and finally: to estimate the influence of human capital with respect to spatial distribution of taxonomic measures of economic development across the voivodships in the years 2002–2011. The article is structured as follows. In section 2 main definitions of human capital are presented along with ways of its measurement. Section 3 contains presentation of taxonomic indicators and descriptive analyses of its spatial distribution. In section 4 spatial distribution of an economic development indicator (constructed by analogy with the human capital taxonomic indicator) is discussed. Section 5 analyzes the impact of the human capital indicator upon the macroeconomic variables enumerated in the preceding paragraph. Finally section 6 concludes.

The article aims at descriptive and statistical analyzing of spatial diversification of main macroeconomic categories, such as capital-labor ratio, labor productivity and total factor productivity across Polish regions/voivodships in the years 1995–2009. The capital-labor ratio is associated in the paper with fixed assets per employee, the labor productivity – with GDP per employee, whereas total factor productivity is computed on the basis of a regional production function. The article contains and comments on, firstly: descriptive analyses of spatial diversification of the afore-mentioned characteristics, secondly: estimates of the Cobb-Douglas production function at regional level, thirdly: estimates of total factor productivity across the voivodships and finally: descriptive results of special diversity of the afore-mentioned characteristics.

The aim of the present study is a descriptive analysis of the spatial variation of basic macroeconomic variables in the Polish provinces. Variables whose variation is considered here are: GDP per capita, gross value of fixed capital formation per capita, investment per capita, wages and the unemployment rate. The work carried out in the paper, because of the availability of relevant statistics for the CSO ww.stat.gov.pl in August 2012, concerns the years 2002–2009 (GDP per capita and gross fixed assets per capita), 2002–2010 (investment per capita), or 2002–2011 (wages and unemployment rate). The paper summarizes the development of taxonomic analysis of complex economic indicators of macroeconomic variables enumerated above.

The paper analyzes the spatial diversification in economic development of the Polish powiats (administrative spatial units of second degree) in the years 2002–2007. The variables considered in the research are as follows: gross capital assets per capita, investment outlays per capita, wages, and unemployment rates. Some taxonomic indicators based on distance in the Euclidean and in the city space were computed by means of the afore-mentioned variables. It follows from the analysis that the powiats typified by the highest level of development are the ones that before 1999 used to be capital towns of the previous administrative regions, as well as the ones that make part of huge agglomeration cities. The powiats located east of the Vistula river, and on agricultural areas are by far least developed. In the period under investigation the spatial diversification increased by little degree.

The main objective of the article is to demonstrate the falseness of the so-called marginal theory of distribution as it is used today. This theory was originally coined by American economist John Bates Clark in the late 19th century. However, the modern version of the theory, used in macroeconomic models including dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) modeling, departs from the original concept. In the first section of this article, the history of the theory of distribution is presented, from the time Clark formulated the theory to the present day. In the following section, a formal proof of the falseness of the contemporary version of the marginal theory of distribution is shown. The proof is illustrated by examples using data from Italy and Poland.

Artykuł ma na celu wykazanie fałszywości współcześnie wykorzystywanej postaci marginalnej teorii podziału. Teoria ta pierwotnie opracowana została przez Johna Batesa Clarka, pierwszego wybitnego ekonomistę amerykańskiego. Jednak jej współczesna postać - wykorzystywana między innymi w modelach makroekonomicznych, w tym modelach DSGE - odbiega od swojego pierwowzoru. W pierwszej części artykułu skupiono się więc na prześledzeniu historii teorii podziału od czasu jej sformułowania przez Clarka, do czasów współczesnych. Następnie, w części drugiej, przedstawiono dowód na fałszywość współcześnie wykorzystywanej postaci teorii podziału, ilustrując go przykładami z wykorzystaniem danych z Włoch i Polski.

This study is an attempt to carry out an empirical analysis of determinants of outflows from unemployment to employment in Poland in regional perspective. The analyses carried out in the study are based on the so-called augmented matching function. This approach relates outflows from unemployment to such macroeconomic variables as the number of unemployed persons and the number of vacancies, the rate of economic growth and regional diversity of labour market elasticity. The analyses presented in the study, relating to determinants of outflows from unemployment to employment, are based on a cross-section time-series sample composed of observations concerning the above-mentioned macroeconomic variables in regional perspective in 1992-2001. The study presents regional diversity in such macroeconomic variables as rates of unemployment, rates of outflows from unemployment to employment, or vacancy rates during the period analysed by the authors. In the later part of the study the authors present estimated parameters of the augmented matching function in the years 1992 (or 1993) - 2001. The presented statistical analyses are based on constant variation models linked to error-correction models. The study ends with a summary and major conclusions.

In this study, the Mankiw-Romer-Weil model has been modified, so that the steady state of growth was determined by both the physical and human capital expenditures per effective labour unit. To this end, joint expenditures on physical and human capital have been used for estimations. Private and public spending on education at all levels has been taken into account in analyses of expenditures on human capital. Empirical analyses involve the impact of human capital formation on economic growth process in 29 OECD countries in the years 1980-1998. In all the estimated equations the variation in ratios of investment in physical capital had a statistically relevant impact on the variation in GDP per capita growth rates. The estimates of GDP per capita growth rates equations presented in the study suggest a relatively strong conditional convergence effect. In certain equations the ratios of investment in human capital are statistically relevant, while in other equations they are not. In the authors’ opinion this can be explained in two ways. First, the ratios of investment in human capital, measured by private and public expenditures on education are much lower than the ratios of investment in physical capital. Consequently, their impact on economic growth rates may be less pronounced. Second, the ratios of investment in human capital are (as a rule) higher in countries with higher GDP per capita. If the conditional convergence effect is present in OECD countries, this may weaken the impact of ratios of investment in human capital on growth rates of GDP per capita.

The aim of this paper is to present the local diversification of the economic development of counties in Malopolskie voivodship between 2002 and 2008 year. Authors used a set of stimulants (total sold production of industry per capita, gross value of fixed assets per capita, investment per capita and wages) and one destimulant (unemployment rate) to estimate the economic development taxonomic indicators of 22 counties in Malopolska. The results proved that Cracow and Tarnow had the highest values of the indicator. Not too far behind them were the following counties: chrzanowski, olkuski i oświęcimski oraz Nowy Sącz. Contrary to this, the lowest values of the development indicator could be observed in: proszowicki, miechowski, dąbrowski and tarnowski counties.
