The aim of this study is to assess the competitiveness of the Polish agri-food sector for 2004–2017, taking into account its most important sections. It begins with the discussion about the macroeconomic determinants of the competitiveness of the agri-food sector, i.e. the most important external (international) and internal (domestic) factors affecting its competitiveness. Next, the growth of foreign trade in Polish agri-food products is described, both in total volumes and the results in particular groups. The competitiveness of the Polish agri-food sector and its most important sections was assessed on the basis of two quantitative indicators: the trade coverage index (TC) and the revealed comparative advantage (RCA) in exports. The analysis shows that in 2004–2017 agri-food trade in Poland was growing dynamically and the indicators significantly improved in most sections. The authors claim that the improvement of the competitiveness of the agri-food sector in Poland benefited from favourable macroeconomic determinants, both international and domestic ones.

The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the labour market in Poland in 2004–2016: demand for work, the supply, and the labour market institutions. It begins by looking at some key characteristics of the labour market that determined the opportunities and threats from the local, regional and European Union’s perspective. The determinants of professional activity, mobility, labour costs and the movement people in the labour market are discussed. Next, the author addresses three research questions regarding the features of the Polish labour market, its opportunities and weaknesses.

The article presents an assessment of industrial companies in Poland versus companies from selected European countries. It begins with the literature survey in which the authors highlight the specificity and main factors shaping the competitiveness of industry. Both traditional and contemporary determinants of competitiveness are discussed, particularly those associated with spatial integration, effects of concentration on selected growth sectors with a high added value, use of creative skills, quality of institutions and social capital. The authors also analyse the competitiveness of Polish companies with use of some complex measures such as Global Competitiveness Index and the Competitive Industrial Performance Index. The article concludes with indicating the key factors and barriers of competitiveness of Polish industrial companies.

This article looks at the problem of measuring economic competitiveness of countries. It begins with describing various definitions of this phenomenon which are sometimes quite vague and close to tautology. The indicators of competitiveness which are most commonly used lack theoretical background, while the results depend on arbitrary choice of variables used for their construction. The author makes a proposal of an alternative way of measuring the competitiveness which is simple and well rooted in the theory. However, given the complexity of the problem, the proposed measurement does not solve all the problems. Its results allow for making the assessment of the development model of Poland and, in particular, formulating a hypothesis that Poland is underperforming in the field of the competitiveness given its level of economic and institutional development.

The aim of this paper is to explore interdependence between foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows and competitiveness of national economy. The relationship between these two macroeconomic variables is analysed for Poland for the period between 2005 and 2016. The author discusses the structure, dynamics and drivers behind the competitiveness of Polish economy based on the methodology of the World Economic Forum. The conclusions are drawn from an investigation of over 270 rank correlations. Several statistically significant relationships were identified for the variables, suggesting that certain causal links in both directions between FDI inflows and competitiveness existed. The concluding remarks consist of several recommendations for the policymakers.
