Development is a category characterised by dynamism and includes not only a quantitative, but also a qualitative element. This is a process of multiplying the number of possible choices to be made by every human being. The following three factors play a fundamental role on all levels of development: providing conditions which enable long and healthy life, a full access to information, and an access to means allowing for decent standard of living. It is of crucial importance to diagnose the socio-economic, endogenous, and exogenous factors of the regional development. The following are the most important characteristics of decentralised development: good use of local resources (related to raw materials and to human resources), development based on continuation (on tradition), social bonds. However, it is difficult to unambiguously specify the above-mentioned factors, for they operate simultaneously (not with the same impact, however). The effort of the regional community's members is of extreme importance in the development of almost every region. Since the level, speed, and structure of the regional development always results from human talents, knowledge, foresight, enterprise, initiative, and own expenditures to improve living conditions. Thus, the factor called "human capital" plays a fundamental role in the development of modern society and economy. This study will constitute an analysis of the issues from the regional perspective, i.e. of Lower Silesia Voivodeship

In the recent years, the world economy has undergone an enormous transformation. It can be noted that it is not only based on industry, but also on knowledge. Achieving a competitive advantage by regions is further focused on investing in fixed assets, but, what is also important, in human capital. At present, a factor that is increasingly important in achieving competitiveness is the ability to use intangible resources. Expenditures on education and research, investing in people, their knowledge and skills are an essential precondition of raising competitiveness. In the case of a highly qualified staff, it allows the efficient introduction of new technologies and the creation of new directions for its development. The competitiveness of the regions is influenced, inter alia, by human talents, knowledge, entrepreneurship, initiative and own resources to improve living conditions. Human capital is thus a key determinant of the competitiveness of regions in Poland. Therefore, the priority of this article is to analyze the impact of selected components of human capital on the competitiveness of regions in Poland in the years 2007-2014. The article is both theoretical and empirical. The first part reviews the literature closely related to the topic of the work. The second part includes a statistical analysis and a construction of a panel model estimated by the method of least squares. GRETL program was used for calculations.(original abstract)
