In the paper, two theoretical models are applied for the assessment of quality of life of emerging higher class in Poland. Life satisfaction, measured on the 5-point Likert scale, is applied as the proxy for quality of life. The first model assumes continuous measurement of Liker scale outcomes and makes use of the epsilon orthogonal regression. The second model respects ordinal measurements of Liker scale outcomes and exploits the ordinal logistic regression. The statistical data come from 2011-2012 survey conducted among 90 higher class respondents from Warsaw. Both models identify the following predictors of life satisfaction: marriage satisfaction, job satisfaction and respondents gender. This means that the type of measurement scale does not matter when assessing the life satisfaction of emerging higher class in Poland.

The aim of the paper was to identify the determinants of the state of poverty using logistic regression. The analysis focused on economic poverty considered through the prism of income. Three states of poverty were considered: poverty, near poverty (household’s income from 100% to 125% of the adopted poverty threshold) and above near poverty (income higher than 125% of poverty threshold), using the ordinal logit model and – after the rejection of the proportional odds assumption – the multinomial logit model. The analysis was preceded by a presentation of the basic facts concerning three states of poverty. Based on the conducted analysis it can be stated that the education of the household's head, place of residence, labourforce status and socio-economic group were very important factors of the state of poverty, and they change the odds of being in above near poverty relative to poverty and the odds of being in near poverty relative to poverty.

The financial independence of local government units (LGUs) means the freedom to control the accumulated public funds, which ultimately affects the quality of life of the local community. The aim of the study discussed in this article is to identify the factors influencing the probability of improving the financial independence of powiats (Polish administrative units equivalent to counties). The study covered 314 powiats (cities with powiat status were not included) for which data for the years 2019 and 2021 were obtained from the Local Data Bank of Statistics Poland and from consolidated balance sheets of LGUs for the years 2019 and 2021, prepared by the Ministry of Finance. Four degrees of financial independence were distinguished on the basis of the share of powiats’ own revenues in their total revenues. The multinomial logistic regression for a variable measured on an ordinal scale was applied to identify the determinants of financial independence and to estimate the probability of its improvement. A proportional odds model was constructed on the basis of data from 2019, while the data from 2021 were used to validate the model. Research shows that the odds of achieving improvement in the powiats’ financial independence is positively affected by: growing population density and the level of entrepreneurship measured by the number of enterprises per capita, as well as increasing investment outlays of enterprises per capita, while negatively by: a growing unemployment rate and number of students in secondary schools per capita, as well as by an increasing percentage of children whose parents receive family benefits and people of a post-working age.

Samodzielność finansowa jednostek samorządu terytorialnego (JST) oznacza swobodę dysponowania zgromadzonymi środkami publicznymi, co wpływa na jakość życia wspólnoty lokalnej. Celem badania omówionego w artykule jest identyfikacja czynników oddziałujących na prawdopodobieństwo poprawy samodzielności finansowej powiatów. Badaniem objęto 314 powiatów (pominięto miasta na prawach powiatu), dla których uzyskano dane z Banku Danych Lokalnych GUS i z bilansów skonsolidowanych JST opracowywanych przez Ministerstwo Finansów za lata 2019 i 2021. Na podstawie udziału dochodów własnych w dochodach powiatu ogółem wyodrębniono cztery stopnie samodzielności finansowej. Do identyfikacji determinant samodzielności finansowej powiatów oraz do oszacowania prawdopodobieństwa jej poprawy zastosowano wielomianową regresję logistyczną dla zmiennej mierzonej na skali porządkowej. Na podstawie danych za 2019 r. skonstruowano model proporcjonalnych szans, a dane za 2021 r. wykorzystano do weryfikacji jakości modelu. Z badania wynika, że szansa poprawy samodzielności finansowej powiatu zwiększa się wraz ze zwiększaniem się gęstości zaludnienia oraz poziomu przedsiębiorczości mierzonej liczbą przedsiębiorstw przypadających na mieszkańca i nakładami inwestycyjnymi przedsiębiorstw przypadającymi na mieszkańca oraz ze zmniejszaniem się: stopy bezrobocia, liczby uczniów w szkołach ponadpodstawowych przypadających na mieszkańca, odsetka dzieci, na które rodzice otrzymują zasiłek rodzinny, oraz odsetka osób w wieku poprodukcyjnym.
