The articleexaminesthe supply-side impact offiscalpolicyonfluctuations in economic trendsin Poland. The analysisis basedon the real business cyclemodel with indivisiblelabor developed by American economist Gary D.Hansen. This model was adapted tothe conditions ofthe Polish economy andexpanded to includeassumptionsaboutfiscalpolicy on the basis of datafrom the1995-2009period. According to the author, the model reflectsthe correlationsbetween GDPandothervariables. However, the negativecorrelationbetweengovernment spendingandconsumption resulting from the model is not confirmed by actual data, Krajewski says. Simulations showthatan increasedshareof capital expenditure in government spending has apositiveimpact onthe economy because it leads to anincrease inproduction,consumption, employment and the level of capital. Themodelalsoshowsthat even though a countercyclicalfiscal policy reducesfluctuationsin production,itleads togreatervolatilityof capitaland consumption. Moreover,the resultsof the model show that if public consumption becomes a strong substituteof private consumption, an increase in government expenditure has a low supply-side impact on thelevel of production, the author concludes.

Research background: Income inequality and poverty attract a lot of attention among politicians, activists as well as scientists, who are trying to find a solution to these socio-economic problems. State intervention is commonly expected in this field, however, there is no agreement about the most efficient methods and instruments, as well as about the scale of public expenditure for the purpose of limiting poverty and inequality. Purpose of the article: The aim of the paper is to specify efficiency of government social spending in reducing problems of poverty and income inequality in the EU countries. Moreover, the attention is paid to changes in the efficiency in a period of the 2007 crisis occurrence and its overcoming and to sources of the changes. Methods: To fulfill the main goal of the paper, the DEA method is used, which enables to compare the social efficiency of the EU countries. The Malmquist index is also calculated and decomposed to identify changes in the efficiency and their sources in the crisis period. Data used in the analyses were obtained from Eurostat and OECD databases and cover the period from 2007 to 2016 year. Findings & Value added: The main findings of the paper shed some light on the differences in social efficiency of government spending in the EU countries. Generally, the countries with a higher level of social spending are also those with lower efficiency in inequality reduction, however, the relationship doesn?t appear for poverty alleviation. Thus, the research suggests some substitution between the scale and the efficiency of social spending, at least for the inequality dimension. Moreover, some differences in a social model can be found between the countries of the  South and of the North: the countries of the South focus their social policy mainly on inequality reduction, while the Scandinavian countries as well as some other affluent societies direct their public support mainly on poverty alleviation. The research also shows that in the crisis period decreases in efficiency concerned mainly the poverty dimension. It reflects the fact that the poor were the losers of the crisis in favor of the middle classes. The efficiency losses were induced by negative changes in the current usage of public sources, while institutional reforms positively influenced the efficiency.

Budżet zadaniowy jako narzędzie nowego zarządzania publicznego jest wdrażany w Polsce od niedawna w sektorze finansów publicznych. W artykule przedstawiono istotę budżetu zadaniowego jako nowoczesnego zarządzania finansami jednostek samorządu terytorialnego, które ma się przyczyniać do poprawy efektywności gospodarowania środkami publicznymi. Dokonano wskazania korzyści i zagrożeń płynących z wdrożenia budżetu zadaniowego, w szczególności w kontekście wykorzystania przez samorządy środków UE, oraz pokazano metodykęjego tworzenia.

The role of repayable sources in financing local governments’ expenditure in rural areas in Poland was examined. The analyses showed that during years 2005-2009 the expenditure of local governments in rural areas was rising. An especially high increase was observed in 2009. The shares of the investment expenditure in total expenditure were at 20% for 2005-2008 but in 2009 it rose noticeably. The local governments use credits, loans and municipal bonds for financing expenditure. Except for 2009, the ‘new’ credits and loans financed mainly repayment of ‘old credits’, only in 2009 less than 50% of ‘new credits’ value was used for repaying old debts. The debt of local governments in rural areas rose quickly but in examined years the payments of interest were not a problem and took less than 1% of budget incomes. In the future, it can change because of the expected increase of debts and, moreover, the interest rates could rise noticeably.

Tax revenues are an important determinant of the growth and economic development of each country. It is important to learn about the impact of gross domestic product, government expenditure, investments, exports, and imports on tax revenues in Poland. Considering statistically signifiant tax revenues and the form of data as the quarterly time series from the years 2002–2018, the VEC model was selected as a test method. This study aims to develop a VEC model with an optimal lag to analyse the relationship between tax revenues and gross domestic product, investments, government expenditure, exports, and imports.

Dochody podatkowe są ważną determinantą wzrostu i rozwoju gospodarczego każdego kraju. Istotne jest poznanie wpływu produktu krajowego brutto, wydatków rządowych, inwestycji, eksportu i importu na wpływy podatkowe w Polsce. Biorąc pod uwagę istotne znacznie dochodów podatków i postać danych jako kwartalne  szeregi czasowe z lat 2002-2018 wybrano model VEC jako metoda badania. Badanie to ma na celu opracowanie modelu VEC z optymalnym opóźnieniem do analizy zależności między dochodami podatkowymi a produktem krajowym brutto, inwestycjami, wydatkami rządowymi, eksportem i importem.
