W artykule przeprowadzono rozważania nad problemami oceny samodzielności dochodowej i wydatkowej samorządów. Celem artykułu było stworzenie miar pozwalających ocenić i porównywać samodzielność wydatkową polskich gmin. Wskaźniki wyliczone na podstawie zaproponowanych miar zaprezentowano dla 2014 r. Pokazano, że ponad połowę budżetów polskich gmin można uznać za niezależną od własnej polityki samorządów. Siła tego ograniczenia jest zróżnicowana między gminami i tylko w niewielkim stopniu odpowiada zróżnicowaniu samodzielności dochodowej gmin.

This paper presents discussion on the problems and opportunities of assessment of income and spending autonomy of local governments. The aim of the paper is to develop measures to assess and compare the spending autonomy of Polish municipalities. Indicators calculated on the basis of the proposed measures are presented for 2014. It has been shown, that only about half of the municipal budgets can be considered as independent. The strength of this limit varies between municipalities and is not strongly dependent on their wealth, and only to a small extent corresponds to the diversity of the revenue autonomy of municipalities.

Since the 1990s, the highly concentrated field of global research and development (R&D) has been undergoing a series of changes, which many scholars interpret as a shift toward increased decentralization. A dynamic rise in R&D spending has been accompanied by greater contributions from countries outside the Triad, also via the activity of transnational corporations (TNCs), which boost their R&D expenditure on the one hand, and serve as the driving force behind R&D internationalisation on the other. While it once seemed that decentralisation would continue, a closer analysis of global R&D suggests that its concentration has actually increased since the middle of the second decade of the 21st century. The decentralization of R&D has led to a dynamic rise in the global importance of China and South Korea, which in turn triggered a new concentration process and a shift of global R&D toward a new centre in East Asia. The process of decentralisation, which causes a diffusion of R&D across a large number of actors, including developing countries, affects global R&D to a lesser extent than the new process of concentration, which now seems to be gathering momentum.(original abstract)

The purpose of the article is to evaluate the financial condition of selected territorial governments in the Malopolska Voivodship within the new EU financial framework for the 2014- 2020 period. The global economic crisis has affected not only financial markets but also the policy and development strategies of local and territorial authorities. Changes have occurred in the approach to strategic objectives, which are now focused on regions and aim to stimulate endogenous growth potentials. New plans and strategies have already been drafted on the national and regional level, but their implementation, as well as the achievement of goals laid down in the Europe 2020 strategy, will crucially depend on the absorption capabilities of territorial governments. The research hypothesis of the article concerns the need to restructure the revenue system of territorial governments and further decentralize public finances in order to stimulate regional endogenous growth potentials. In order to verify it, financial indicators for selected territorial governments in the 2010-2014 period are analyzed. The findings show that there are positive trends underway in the budget policies of analyzed governments, but their revenues are still inadequate and their total growth potential remains low.(original abstract)
