The article presents trends of change in Warsaw's economic structure and their influence upon the formation of the city's functional and spatial structure. Using the latest data on the employment structure and kinds of economic entities and their distribution, an attempt has also been made to determine the degree of absorption of the city economy by pro-development activities. On the basis of experiences of other European cities activity types indicating the existence of development trends in the city economy (pro-development activities) were chosen. Next, changes in the number of economic entities in these areas in 1988-2004 were analyzed. Research on the distribution of economic entities in Warsaw is based upon data from the REGON register.

In order to achieve smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, the European Union has set a spectrum of targets via the growth strategy titled ‘Europe 2020’. These targets are elaborated in detail and coordinated in specific national programs and national policies of European Union member states. A detailed analysis of economic structure that influences the situation in a particular region in an outstanding way can be considered a significant activity for the purpose of examination of the current situation and potential development of particular European regions. Research on stronger and weaker economic areas provides the state with important information for decisions on further strategic development of a particular region. The main aim of this paper is to analyse the economic structure of the Slovak Republic and its regions with the help of secondary data. On the basis of this analysis we will determine the possible areas of potential development for specific economic areas in Slovak regions.

This paper proposes a dynamic economic model with health, human capital and wealth accumulation with elastic labor supply. The economic system consists of one industrial, one health, and one education sector. Our model is a synthesis of four main models in economic theory: Solow’s one-sector neoclassical growth mode, the Uzawa-Lucas two sector model, Arrow’s learning by doing model, and Grossman’s growth model with health. The model also includes Zhang’s idea about creative leisure or learning by consuming. Demand and supply of health service and education are determined by market mechanism. The model describes dynamic interdependence among wealth, health, human capital, economic structure, and time distribution among work, health caring, and education under perfect competition. We simulate the model and examine effects of changes in the propensity to consume health caring, the efficiency of producing health caring, the propensity to receive education, and the propensity to save.

The aim of this article is to investigate the relationship between the cyclical fluctuations in Poland on a regional perspective and the level of specialization of regional economies. To do this, the correlation between the morphology features of regional business cycles and the level of their specialization was made. The morphology features were represented by such parameters: cycle length, phase length, standard deviation ratio, coefficient of variation ratio and average amplitude of upward and downward phases. The evolution of economic structures was measured by the Krugman specialization index. Assessing the GDP cyclical fluctuations in the Polish regions during 1996–2013, it can be concluded that the regions have different sensitivity to economy “shocks,” both positive and negative. The results of the regional specialization measuring are ambiguous. Most of them appear falling specialization, and the others show stable specialization levels. Despite a few exceptions, a correlation between the level of regional specialization and the degree of sensitivity to economic disturbances can be observed. Regions that are less specialized and have more-diversified production structures show greater resistance to economic fluctuations. This is confirmed by the analysis of the morphology of cycles on a regional basis.

From the point of view of the consequences of European integration, similarities of economic structures of member states are of high relevance. The main objective of the paper is to analyse how those similarities looked like in the period of 1970-2006 for EU15 and in 1995-2006 for EU25 countries. The analysis consists of two stages and refers to the similarities in employment composition between three sectors of economy, and also between subsectors of manufacturing and services – distinguished on the basis of their technological advancement and knowledge intensity. In the first step, on the basis of the EU-KLEMS database, a measure of structural similarity, Krugman specialization index, was calculated for all pairs of EU countries. Observation of its values points to an ongoing homogenization of EU15 economies and of their manufacturing structures, but also to an increase in differences of knowledge intensity in services. In the broader sample of EU25, de-spite an ongoing economic transition, no significant homogenization of structures was observable. As the second step, a cluster analysis was conducted, which allowed for identification of development patterns in the sample of European countries.

Albania as all Balkan countries in general, in the past 20 years faced with deep and continuous socio-economic change which resulted not simply in a totally newly shaped economy, but also in new and unexperienced paths of human resources developments. This referring to the qualitative, quantitative and diversification terms, brings the age of new professions and connections between the academic development and advancement and the adaption with the real necessities of the labor market. Adding to this complex and mobile situation the effect on their economy of the last financial crisis, the turbulence level is expected to be increased . Practitioners and researchers must understand connections and make up different scenarios which will face with a very unpredictable environment. Not surprisingly, Albania as some other southwestern European countries, due to the low level of integration into the international financial market, their mainly domestic market for goods and services produced by them, did not suffer the same consequences as other neighboring countries. But even the effect of downsizing their economies will affect Albanian economy too, because the payment balance and foreign trade balance as well as due to the widening of globalization in its domestic economy, which Albania cannot afford to avoid any longer. At the same time, the country must take in consideration the economic structure change and its adoption with the EU countries economic structure. These two main challenges can be afforded with substantial foreign investments and the most attractive resource has proved to be the human one. Sustainable development of human resources for a national sustainable development, requires making pro-active decision regarding their development and planning. The welfare of countries more and more is not being measured by the GDP pro capita, instead it is being used the term” life quality” which calls for decision making process aiming to increase and not simply exploit, which pro-actively develops qualitative human resources . This because a major factor for development is direct foreign investment. This drives Albania as well as other Balkan countries shift from naturally gifted with human resources due to the high nativity toward having attractive human resources in terms of quality and diversity related to actual and future trends of economy structuring and development. The paper deals with issues related to economic and human development by comparing two major factors in the case of Albania: the quality of human resources, role of foreign investments in the Albanian economic development and effects of human resources have on them and the careful planning of human resources development driven by actual and future trends of economic development. At the same time, the paper analyses the necessity to link the didactic offer of universities and high schools and market driving forces.

The concepts of structure and structural changes can be applied in many different ways. Relatedly, the roughest distinction is reflected in two approaches: development economics approach and econometric approach. This paper will rely on the development economics, because it seems that the econometric approach oversimplifies the structural analysis and structural changes. Development economics, which evolved through the interaction between theoretical research and empirical studies, deals with many issues related to structure and growth in less developed (developing) countries. In development economics, the economic structure analysis is observed mostly through micro and macro approach. The paper relies on a macroeconomic approach which views the economic development as a set of interrelated long-term processes of structural transformation accompanying the growth. Unlike the neoclassical approach, which makes a simple distinction of the economy to sectors producing tradable goods (with a high substitution) and sectors producing non-tradable goods, development economics studies structural adjustments of much serious complexity. Unlike other branches of economy, development economics has no universally accepted doctrine or paradigm. Instead, it is based on continuous evaluation of thinking, creating a ground for understanding the processes of modern economic development.

The economic development of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe in the interwar period did not remove essential structural defects in foreign trade, such as: regionalism, compliance of export and import directions, too much concentration on several markets, low assortment diversity and typically raw material and agricultural export structure. Mutual exchange took place on a small scale and was often unilateral, and its size did not generally exceed 10% of the total turnover of this zone. In addition, it was also characterized by a significant degree of concentration and occurred mainly between neighboring countries and in a narrow range. One of the fundamental reasons explaining the low level of mutual trade was the far-reaching mutual competitiveness of the economies of these countries. The high similarity of export structures and assortments as well as the identity of import needs at a weak level, with a similar export expansion rate, have created significant elements of competition between the economies of the region. In the interwar period, the countries of Central and Eastern Europe were not strongly involved in foreign trade, with the exception of Czechoslovakia. They were generally poorly developed raw material and agricultural countries, exporting mainly raw materials and food to developed countries of Western Europe, and in particular to Germany. Their total share in world trade was at the level of approx. 3% at that time. The low level of involvement of these countries in world trade was indicated in particular by small export volumes per one inhabitant.

At its 30th anniversary, the Maastricht Treaty remains a milestone in the history and practice of the European Union. This referring to the adhesion process, since the set of conditions that a country must accomplish have been settled and derived by the treaty, but also for the fact that now, after 20 years of entering in force, the Euro, the Union currency, has performed and faced different consecutive challenges, thus becoming observable concerning it effects and role, and as a consequence, its theoretical and practical validity. But there is yet a vast area, in the center of Europe, that is still dragging on its calvary of adhesion, that of the Western Balkans. At this point, considering the processes that the countries of this area have been going through, by pursuing the adhesion path, the analysis of the dominating factors that have determined the trajectory of their EU membership, becomes essential. The paper questions and analyses the validity of the Maastricht Treaty and subsequent criteria for the adhesion of the Western Balkan countries, as well as highlights on the ‘ad-hoc’ criteria and evaluations often applied during the process and their consequences in terms of the attitudes of the Balkan populations and their determination toward the EU and the Western Balkans adhesion.

W artykule zaprezentowano metodę pomiaru struktury zjawisk ekonomicznych oraz zmian strukturalnych w przypadku, gdy obok dodatnich składników wektora struktury występują również składniki ujemne. Problem interpretacyjny w przypadku wystąpienia ujemnych składników pojawia się często podczas analizy sprawozdań finansowych, gdyż pozycje bilansowe, rachunku zysków i strat oraz rachunku przepływów pieniężnych mogą być zarówno dodatnie, jak i ujemne. Istotą przedstawionej metody jest wyodrębnienie strumienia „korzyści” oraz strumienia „niekorzyści”, a następnie określenie struktury międzygrupowej oraz wewnątrzgrupowej. Metodę wykorzystano do analizy struktury wyniku finansowego Zakładów Odzieżowych. „Bytom” S.A. w latach 2004-2008.

The paper presents a method for measuring the structure of economic phenomena and structural changes when the next positive components of the vector components of the structure are also negative. Problem of interpretation in the event of negative components, appears frequently in the analysis of financial statements, as balance sheet items, items of profit and loss account and cash flow may be either positive or negative. The essence of the presented method is to separate stream "benefits" and stream "disadvantages" and then determine the structure of inter- and intragroup. The method used to analyze the structure of the financial result Betting Clothes "Bytom" S.A. in 2004-2008.

Much that has been taking place in today’s Irkutsk is quite typical for cities of post-Soviet Russia. Irkutsk is suffering from drastic structural changes: in its macro-geographic position and international links, in the structure of production, in its postindustrial (non-production) functions, in the system of regional development. The total estimation of changes should be positive. But we can see a lot of losses. Some of them seem to be temporary, but there are also losses caused by the market character of the reforms themselves.

Głębokie zmiany strukturalne w gospodarce, a szczególnie w przemyśle krajów wysoko rozwiniętych, wywołane przez innowacje technologiczne, organizacyjne oraz globalizację gospodarki, pozostawiły na marginesie światowej ekspansji tradycyjne regiony przemysłowe. Wymagały one całkowitej restrukturyzacji, ponieważ cechowała je monofunkcyjność gospodarki. Do takich regionów zalicza się Górnośląski Okręg Przemysłowy (GOP), którego proces restrukturyzacji rozpoczął się dopiero w okresie transformacji gospodarczej Polski, czyli po roku 1989. W artykule podjęto problematykę funkcjonowania tego największego okręgu przemysłowego w Polsce w okresie 25-lecia gospodarki rynkowej, od roku 1988 do 2013, przy czym analizie poddano najbardziej uprzemysłowioną, centralną część GOP, pretendującą aktualnie do roli metropolii Silesia, a obejmującą 14 miast: Bytom, Chorzów, Dąbrowę Górniczą, Gliwice, Jaworzno, Katowice, Mysłowice, Piekary Śląskie, Rudę Śląską, Siemianowice Śląskie, Sosnowiec, Świętochłowice, Tychy i Zabrze. W artykule skoncentrowano się na zmianach liczby pracujących, zwłaszcza w przemyśle, i określeniu przyczyn tych zmian. Szczegółowej analizie poddano funkcjonowanie tradycyjnych sektorów gospodarki GOP, jak górnictwo węgla kamiennego i hutnictwo żelaza. W kontekście zmniejszającej się roli wymienionych branż w gospodarce regionu podjęto próbę określenia, jakie nowe dziedziny wytwórczości pojawiły się w regionie i czy petryfikują one dotychczasową strukturę, czy też wpływają na jej dywersyfikację.

Profound structural changes in the economy, and especially in the industry of highly developed countries, triggered by technological organisational innovation, as well as globalization of the economy, have left traditional industrial regions on the margin of global expansion. They had required deep restructuring because it was characterized by mono-functionality of the economy. These regions include the Upper Silesian Industrial Region, the restructuring process of which began in the period of the Polish economic transformation after 1989. The article discusses the functioning of the largest industrial district in Poland during the 25 years of the market economy, from 1988 to 2013, the analysis was conducted on the most industrialized central part of the GOP, currently pretending to the role of the metropolis Silesia, and covering 14 cities: Bytom, Chorzów, Dąbrowę Górniczą, Gliwice, Jaworzno, Katowice, Mysłowice, Piekary Śląskie,, Rudę Śląską, Siemianowice Śląskie, Sosnowiec, Świętochłowice, Tychy and Zabrze. The article is focused on the changes in the number of employees, especially in the industry, and identify the causes of these changes. GOP traditional industries such as mining and iron were analysed in detail. In the context of decreasing role of these sectors in the regional economy, an attempt was made to identify new areas of production which occurred in the region and whether they petrify the previous structure or affect its diversification.

The article analyses the changes in the sector of farms operated by legal persons between 1990 and 1996, i.e. in a period that marked the most fundamental systemic changes. The adoption and implementation of the idea of accelerating the transformation of ownership relationships in agriculture, aimed at reducing public as well as collective private ownership and instead extending and enhancing private ownership by natural persons, resulted in liquidating the production sector of State agricultural enterprises and weakening agricultural cooperatives. At the same time, the process removed the territorial barriers to the development of farms run by natural persons, which made it possible to establish farms operated by private legal persons in legal and organisational forms other than cooperatives. As a result, a very dynamic transformation process began, not only in the ownership structure of farms, but also in organisational, legal, territorial and economic structure. The paper presents changes in the entire sector of farms operated by legal persons, considering the different legal and organisational forms as well as area, and the changes in the share of those farms in the use of agricultural land, labour resources, capital resources, and in agricultural production. The paper also presents changes in the efficiency of agricultural production in farms of that sector against farms operated by natural persons.
