The article reflects on the life and career of the late Hungarian-Polish economist and journalist Aleksander Konstanty Ivánka (1904-1975), with a special focus on his work during the period between the two world wars. A search at the Central Archives of Modern Records (AAN) in Warsaw and the Warsaw School of Economics (SGH) Archives, combined with an analysis of historic publications and material, enabled the author to retrace the course of Ivánka’s professional career, his work as an economist and journalist as well as his socioeconomic views. Ivánka was a Pole of Hungarian origin who graduated from the Warsaw School of Economics and went to work as a senior official at the Ministry of the Treasury. He also worked at the Central Statistical Office (GUS) and was one of the closest collaborators of former Warsaw Mayor Stefan Starzyński. In 1931, together with a group of associates, Ivánka founded Gospodarka Narodowa, a weekly in which he published many of his articles. He was also a member of the editorial board of Gospodarka Narodowa. In his work as a researcher and journalist, Ivánka mainly dealt with issues related to cartels and trusts, but in the early 1930s he also studied internal trade statistics. During World War II, in his capacity as financial director of the City Administration, Ivánka played a major role in managing Warsaw’s finances. After the war he continued his research career. He lectured at the University of Warsaw, the Warsaw School of Economics-then called the Central School of Planning and Statistics (SGPiS)-and the Łódź University of Economics. He also worked at the Central Planning Office (CUP) and the central auditing office NIK. Ivánkawrote a book entitled Wspomnienia skarbowca (1964).

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie historii czasopisma naukowego Gospodarka Narodowa (w latach 1946–1989 funkcjonującego pod nazwą Gospodarka Planowa), ze szczególnym naciskiem na zagadnienia, którym poświęcone były publikowane w nim artykuły, organizację pracy redakcji oraz osoby związane z periodykiem. W tym celu skorzystano zarówno ze źródeł, jak i istniejących opracowań, a także przeprowadzono analizę cytowań prac publikowanych w czasopiśmie oraz – gdy było to możliwe – częstości wykorzystywania w nich poszczególnych kodów klasyfikacji JEL. Poza przedstawieniem pierwszego syntetycznego ujęcia dziewięciu dekad funkcjonowania Gospodarki Narodowej/Gospodarki Planowej, artykuł wnosi do dyscypliny oryginalny wkład w postaci wskazania najczęściej cytowanych artykułów opublikowanych w czasopiśmie. Ustalono, że najważniejszymi obszarami zainteresowań autorów Gospodarki Narodowej w ostatnich dziesięciu latach są zagadnienia dotyczące makroekonomii, w tym ekonomii monetarnej, ekonomii międzynarodowej, ekonomii finansowej i wzrostu gospodarczego, a wielu z nich preferuje jednoznacznie ilościowe podejście do badania tych problemów. Artykuł kończy konkluzja, że chociaż Gospodarka Narodowa przeszła długą ewolucję, ostatecznie stała się pismem stricte naukowym, który to charakter zachowuje do dziś.

The aim of this article is to outline the history of the scientific journal Gospodarka Narodowa, which from 1946 to 1989 operated under the name Gospodarka Planowa. The study pays particular attention to the subject matter of the articles published in the journal, the organisation of editorial work and the people associated with the journal. For this purpose, sources and existing studies were consulted, and an analysis was conducted of the citations of the papers published in the journal. When possible, the frequency of the use of selected JEL classification codes in the papers was also analysed. The article not only offers the first in-depth description of the nine decades of Gospodarka Narodowa, but also makes an original contribution to the discipline by indicating the most frequently cited articles published in the journal. It finds that the main areas of interest for Gospodarka Narodowa authors over the past decade have been issues related to macroeconomics, including monetary economics, international economics, financial economics, and economic growth. Another finding is that many authors have shown a preference for a clearly quantitative approach to the study of these problems. The article concludes by stating that Gospodarka Narodowa underwent a long evolution before it eventually became a strictly scientific journal, a focus that it has preserved to this day.

This article aims to identify the main characteristics of two leading Polish economic journals, Ekonomista and Gospodarka Narodowa. The journals are examined in terms of content based on a comprehensive review of articles published from 1990 to 2009. The statistical analysis involved research methods and results discussed in articles appearing in the journals, with the topics divided according to a classification proposed in the Journal of Economic Literature. Moreover, the analysis focused on the topics covered by the authors depending on the geographical area and the authors’ affiliation. The comparisons were made for the entire period of 1990-2009 and for a series of two-year sub-periods. The analysis identified the key topics covered by the authors and traced the evolution of the research methods. Both periodicals have changed over the past 20 years, the author concludes, with a rapid increase in the proportion of articles in which researchers use statistical and econometric tools to more effectively prove their hypotheses.

The article examines the origins of Gospodarka Narodowa and the magazine’s evolution from 1931 to 2011. The author analyzes press reports and archival materials to trace the publication’s history over the past 80 years. Gospodarka Narodowawas started in 1931 as an initiative by economist Czesław Bobrowski. The magazine was initially published every two weeks. It quickly became one of the most influential economic periodicals in Poland in the period between World War I and II. At the time, Gospodarka Narodowa focused on general economic topics and was run by a team of young editors who targeted a mostly young audience. One of the magazine’s characteristic features was its considerable independence and an apolitical approach. The magazine brought together a number of up-and-coming Warsaw economists, who set up a prestigious organization known as the National Economic Club. In the postwar period, Bobrowski, who was chairman of the no-longer-existing Central Planning Office (CUP), came up with the idea of reviving the magazine. The new biweekly publication, renamed Gospodarka Planowa, initially followed up on what its predecessor did in terms of form and content, however it was controlled by the Central Planning Office. In the late 1940s, the magazine found itself completely dependent on the decision makers at the time and became a mouthpiece and propaganda tool of the country’s communist authorities. As a result of political changes in Poland in 1956, Gospodarka Planowa was transformed into a scientific and economic monthly whose contributors included top Polish economists at the time. In 1990, the magazine reverted to its original title. Today Gospodarka Narodowa is one of the most highly rated Polish magazines dealing with economic issues.

The author discusses the socioeconomic views of onetime Polish economist and military leader Józef Maria Poniatowski (1897-1995) and his ties to Gospodarka Narodowa (National Economy) magazine, which was published every two weeks in the 1930s. Although Poniatowski was considered to be one of the leading economic policy makers of his time, no attempts were made to discuss his economic views in Polish scientific literature up to now, according to Jarosz-Nojszewska. She analyzes Poniatowski’s publications and presents his views about the most important economic problems of interwar Poland, on the basis of documents from the Central Archives of Modern Records (AAN) in Warsaw as well as the archives of the Warsaw School of Economics (SGH) and Warsaw Agricultural University (SGGW). The author highlights some of the key facts from Poniatowski’s life as well as his family ties, which had a huge impact on his views, especially in issues related to agricultural policy. Józef Poniatowski came from a family of landowners. He graduated in economics from the Warsaw School of Economics, and also had a degree in agriculture from Warsaw Agricultural University and a degree in law from the University of Paris. In the 1920s and 1930s, Poniatowski worked as a researcher and also dealt with politics. He was one of the co-founders and most active members of a business association known as the National Economy Club. He published dozens of articles in Gospodarka Narodowa, most of them focusing on the problems of the countryside and agricultural issues as well as government economic policies. For example, he frequently criticized stopgap measures and short-term arrangements in the government’s agrarian policy. He called for an increased role of the state and government intervention in the agriculture sector and the economy as a whole, and advocated more decisive and far-reaching steps in various areas. He argued that an agrarian reform and related changes in the agrarian structure of the country were critical to reducing the Polish economy’s vulnerability to fluctuations in economic trends. Poniatowski pointed out that a land reform could alleviate the country’s economic problems by expanding the internal market. He highlighted the dramatic debt problem of Polish agriculture. He also wrote about cartels, a topic that was directly related to his work as a Cartel Court judge. However, his best known works were dedicated to the issue of agrarian overpopulation. A few years before World War II, he was appointed director of a government economic bureau, a position of key importance to the Polish economic policy of the time and one that enabled Poniatowski to take part in government economic policy making. World War II interrupted his career. After the war Poniatowski did not return to the country from exile, and continued his scientific and political pursuits while living abroad.

The article reflects on the life and work of economist and politician Józef Krzyczkowski (1901-1989), with a special focus on his ties with organizations such as the National Economy Club and the Social National Club. The author examines Krzyczkowski’s professional career using data collected at the Warsaw School of Economics Archives and the Central Archives of Modern Records in Warsaw. Krzyczkowski’s social and economic activities in the period between the two world wars and after WW II were of special interest to Jarosz-Nojszewska. She also delves into the wartime experiences of Krzyczkowski, who commanded Polish Home Army troops in Kampinos Forest in his capacity as Lt. Col. “Szymon.” The main part of the article is dedicated to Krzyczkowski’s involvement in economic discussion clubs in the 1930s. This is the least researched period of his life, Jarosz-Nojszewska says. Krzyczkowski co-founded an organization called the National Economy Club. After the death of Poland’s erstwhile leader Marshal Józef Piłsudski, Krzyczkowski founded another organization called the Social National Club, which published its own weekly periodical entitled Zespół. The Social National Club called for far-reaching political and economic changes in Poland, as reflected by its key publication Podstawy doktryny społeczno-narodowej (The Fundamentals of the Social National Doctrine). The publication provoked criticism of the National Economy Club community, whose members were accused of disseminating communism, especially by those with conservative views. The dispute reached the courtroom, but it remained unresolved due to the outbreak of WW II.
