Universities are one of the key actors within national and regional innovation systems. The nature of university-industry collaboration has changed during the last decades and it varies across countries and regions. Different factors determine the interaction among both organizations, from those related to the industrial structure of the territory to others related to institutional and legal frameworks. In this paper we aim at adding to the understanding of this process based on the comparison between two European regions, Apulia in Italy and Galicia in Spain. Our results show that a progressive transition from a separated to a more integrated approach has occurred at the relational framework affecting universities and industry in both regions. Public policies, particularly from the regional level, have been relevant for promoting university-industry collaboration in Galicia and Apulia. Nevertheless, there still remain cultural and institutional barriers, both from the academy and business sphere, which impede a closer and more fruitful interaction. Besides, the poor innovative culture of traditional industries which dominate in both regions, might affect university-industry interaction. However, an adjustment of the university offer in terms of research is also needed as we observe that collaboration is too much biased by the university scientific and departmental specialization and too little by local and regional industrial specialization.

This paper studies the determinants of the total factor productivity (TFP) for Ukrainian firms in the manufacturing sector across macro-regions using recent micro-level datasets for 2013. Our empirical results show some degree of heterogeneity across Ukrainian macro-regions; in particular, the link between the total factor productivity, firm size, imports and the level of competition seems to be valid for all macro regions. However, the effects of private ownership status, capital intensity and exports seems to be region specific. In addition, we found no relationship between firm productivity and foreign ownership for any of the regions.

Region is evaluated as a spatial unit which defines the economic-social structure and in which the planning processes like determining, implementing, managing and inspecting the regional development strategies and politics changing within the scope of paradigm changes are carried out. In Turkey, experience related to regional development politics goes back to the 1960s; it has been analysed to what extent regional planning and the concept of a region are affected by the changing processes which are experienced in economic and social structure, according to which criteria the borders for regional planning are determined and the role of these borders in the success of regional politics. According to the results, being unable to provide the interaction between regional planning and the meaning attributed to the concept of a region is the main factor in the non-occurrence of the success which has been aimed in regional development politics although regional planning and the concepts of a region are affected from the paradigm changes.

One of the most important segments of the post-1990 transformation of territory-based administration in Hungary was the changing of the geographical structure of deconcentrated state administrative organisations. The study, on the one hand, provides a brief overview of the history of deconcentrated state administrative organisations in Hungary, and discusses the regional characteristics of the organisational transformations after the political changes, taking six moments in time (the middle of 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010 and 2012 respectively) as the basis. On the other hand, using the same six snapshots in time, it examines which settlements experienced favourable or unfavourable changes, and what factors influenced the selection of the seats for these institutions. The results of the survey indicated that the alignment of territorial structure of deconcentrated state administrative organizations to the planning-statistical, NUTS 2 regions has already begun at the end of the 1990s. The government formed in 2006 took significant steps in the area of aligning the spatial structure of the organizations with the planning-statistical regions; however, in the period after 2010 the significance of the county level increased again. In the period examined, no significant changes took place at the top and at the bottom of the list according to the number of seats: the largest settlements of the individual regions reinforced their leading positions.

The main goal of this paper is to empirically investigate the regional dimension of productivity determinants for 24 regions of Ukraine using micro-level dataset for individual firms in 2013. The novelty of our analysis is the comparison of the determinants of productivity in the manufacturing and service sectors. We estimate both pooled regressions for all regions and separate regressions for particular regions. The estimation results obtained for the entire country demonstrate that the majority of our explanatory variables are statistically significant for the manufacturing sector and all are statistically significant for the service sector although at different levels of significance. At the same time, the estimation results obtained separately for each region show a large degree of heterogeneity across the regions and sectors and the lack of scale economies at the firm-level.

The paper examines the effects of intra- and inter-regional knowledge spillovers on innovative activities in German states using the augmented Griliches-Jaffe knowledge production function. The “Harris market potential” type index is calculated to proxy for inter-regional knowledge transfers of two types: industrial knowledge transfers generated from the business enterprise sector and academic spillovers generated from universities across all German states. The model also includes the concentration of high-tech enterprises, in order to capture the agglomeration effect in the local economy. The estimation results reveal that not only do local private and university research efforts have a positive and significant effect on local innovative activities, but there are also important interregional knowledge spillovers across the German regions.

W pracy wykorzystano wybrane metody wielowymiarowej analizy porównawczej do oceny i porównania poziomu rolnictwa w regionach Polski w ujęciu dynamicznym. Okres badawczy obejmował lata 2011-2014. Zbiór cech diagnostycznych dotyczył wielu aspektów rolnictwa: powierzchni zasiewów, pogłowia zwierząt, skupu produktów rolniczych oraz plonów. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują, iż rolnictwo w województwach Polski jest bardzo zróżnicowane a zmiany w rolnictwie zachodzą wolniej niż w pozostałych działach gospodarki narodowej co jest wynikiem jego specyficznego charakteru.

W artykule przedstawiono główne przyczyny kryzysu światowego w świetle toczącej się dyskusji naukowej rozpatrującej źródła, głębokość, zasięg i skutki kryzysu. Pozwoliła ona stwierdzić autorowi, że jego przyczyny są o wiele głębsze niż wskazuje to większość badaczy. Są one ściśle związane z istotą chciwego światowego turbo kapitalizmu wraz z jego błędami systemowymi i strukturalnymi. Na tym tle zaprezentowano dane wskazujące, że polska gospodarka wyszła obronną ręką przed globalnym rozprzestrzenianiem się kryzysu gospodarczego. Funkcjonując na peryferiach światowej gospodarki, Polska doświadczyła jedynie spowolnienia wzrostu gospodarczego oraz pogorszenia sytuacji na rynku pracy. Procesy te przejawiały się w spadku produkcji przemysłowej, która objęła przetwórstwo przemysłowe, energetykę i górnictwo; w budownictwie zmniejszył się popyt na mieszkania skutkując obniżeniem produkcji sprzedanej (ale dopiero w III kwartale 2009 roku); w działalności handlowej skutki te przejawiały się w mniejszej sprzedaży pojazdów samochodowych i rosnących kosztach zatrudnienia; a z kolei w przedsiębiorstwach transportowych rok 2009 przyniósł spadek sprzedaży usług, powodując znaczne zmniejszenie przychodów ze sprzedaży w większości firm. W układzie regionalnym analiza nie dała podstaw do stwierdzenia wyraźnej koncentracji przestrzennej skutków kryzysu. Zróżnicowana przestrzennie struktura gospodarki „rozmyła” je, a zwiększona absorpcja środków na inwestycje z UE skutki te istotnie amortyzowała.

The article presents the main causes of the global crisis in the light of the current dicussion in scientific circles as to the sources, range, impact and effects of the crisis. The causes seem in this context to be much deeper than suggests the majority of commentators and are strictly related to the rule of greedy global turbocapitalism along with its inherent structural and system faults. Against this background the article presents data showing that the Polish economy has come out largely victorious from the struggle against the spread of the economic crisis. Functioning on the periphery of the global economy, Poland has experienced only a slowdown in economic growth and a worsening of the job market situation. These processes were visible in a decline in industrial production, including manufacturing, energy and mining; a decline in demand for residential housing was visible in the construction sector, which resulted in the decline of production sold (but not until the 3rd quarter of 2009); in trade the results were visible in a fall in car sales and rising employment costs, while in transport 2009 brought a fall in services sold, resulting in a significant decline in sales revenue in most companies. From the regional point of view, the analysis does not reveal any significant spatial concentration of the results of the crisis. The spatially differentiated structure of the Polish economy has “blurred” the results and an increased absorption of EU investment funds has significantly cushioned them.

Both traditional (von Thünen) and modern (Hayami & Ruttan, Krugman) theories on land use suggest that productions with a high value added per unit of land tend to be located near urban centres. In this article it is tested to what extent these theoretical findings are confirmed by empirical data on agricultural land use and production for the EU-9. The focus is not only on the degree of concentration and specialisation, but also on their development over time. Growth and decline of agricultural productions are here related to the degree of rurality. It is found that high value productions indeed tend to be located in urban regions. It is also found that most specialisation patterns that already existed in 1950 are even stronger in 2000.

Poszczególne regiony Polski cechuje zróżnicowana sytuacja na rynku pracy. Regiony te wyraźnie różnią się między sobą nie tylko poziomem rozwoju, ale także potencjałem demograficznym, społecznym oraz ekonomicznym. A to z kolei przekłada się na zróżnicowanie warunków życia ich mieszkańców oraz różnice występujące na rynku pracy. Jednym z kluczowych mierników sytuacji na regionalnych rynkach pracy, obok wskaźnika zatrudnienia, jest stopa bezrobocia. W klasycznym ujęciu rynek pracy jest zatem analizowany przede wszystkim w aspekcie relacji między podażą pracy a popytem na pracę. Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja wpływu popytu i podaży pracy na wahania stopy bezrobocia w ujęciu regionalnym. Dekompozycja źródeł bezrobocia, przeprowadzona z wykorzystaniem zaproponowanego przez M.W. Elsby’iego, B. Hobijna, A. Sahina równania dekompozycji, doprowadziła do wniosku zgodnie z którym dominujący wpływ na zmiany bezrobocia w poszczególnych województwach Polski miały zmiany w popycie na pracę. Ponadto, podjęto próbę analizy wybranych czynników popytowych i podażowych rynku pracy.

Regions of Poland differ substantially in terms of level of economic development as well as demographic, social and economic potential. This differences influence level of living and labour market situation. One of the key indicators measuring situation on regional labour markets, apart from rate of employment indicator, is unemployment rate. In classical approach labour market is analysed from the perspective of relation between two forces: demand for workers and supply of workforce. The aim of this article is to identify the impact of demand and supply on unemployment rate fluctuations in a regional perspective. The decomposition of changes in unemployment rate, carried out with the equation developed by M.W. Elsby, B. Hibijn and A. Sahin, has led to the conclusion that dominant impact on changes of unemployment in particular regions of Poland had demand fluctuations, which were subsequently (apart from supply factors) analysed in detail.

Regional diversification in the Polish agriculture is a result of climatic and social conditions, as well as historical developments. The aim of this paper is the assessment of the role that the CAP plays in the transformation of Polish agriculture is based on a comparative analysis of data on agriculture and the use of support by individual regions since the Polish EU accession until 2013. The results indicate the widening gaps in the development of agriculture in Polish regions. Regions with small farms receive less support for improving agricultural competitiveness. It is necessary to take account of these differences and design policy measures better targeted at individual needs of each of the regions. It seems that CAP does not shrink regional diversity of the Polish agriculture. However, it appears that it is not a key factor leading to an increase in this diversity, but an additional factor alongside with current conditions for conducting different types of agricultural activity.

Zróżnicowanie regionalne polskiego rolnictwa wynika z uwarunkowań przyrodniczo-klimatycznych i historycznych. Celem artykułu była ocena roli, jaką WPR odgrywa w przemianach polskiego rolnictwa. Opiera się ona na analizie porównawczej danych dotyczących rolnictwa i wykorzystania wsparcia przez poszczególne regiony od 2004 do 2013 roku. Wyniki wskazują na pogłębianie się różnic w rozwoju regionalnym polskiego rolnictwa. Regiony o rozdrobnionym rolnictwie w mniejszym stopniu korzystają ze wsparcia wzrostu konkurencyjności sektora. Konieczne jest uwzględnienie tych różnic w instrumentach wsparcia i przygotowanie rozwiązań dopasowanych do specyficznych potrzeb regionów. WPR nie ograniczyła różnic regionalnych w polskim rolnictwie. Wydaje się, iż środki UE wzmacniają bieżące uwarunkowania prowadzenia działalności rolnej i możliwości konkurowania na rynku różnego typu gospodarstw w zależności od ich wielkości, usytuowania i rodzaju prowadzonej działalności.

This paper focuses on a neglected—horizontal—dimension of social stratification. It examines the patterns of social differentiation in the Visegrád countries (the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia) and attempts to assess changes in the social structure at the subnational level. Social structure changes are explained within the context of broader socio-economic development. The main analyses performed in this study are based on EUSILC micro-data covering 2006–2016 and offer a comprehensive perspective on the patterns of social-stratification development at the regional level utilising three dimensions: social class (proxied by the European Social-Economic Classification), highest attained education level, and income. The results indicate different trajectories in social differentiation across the four countries, although some of the patterns identified are similar. The results indicate that the working class is shrinking and the salariat is growing, and that there are declining shares of people with at most primary or secondary education and increasing numbers with tertiary education. Income inequalities remained relatively stable over the observed period across the Czech and Slovak regions, but fluctuated in Hungarian regions, and the initially greater income inequalities in Polish regions have tended to decline over time. The findings suggest that the least favourable patterns in the development of regional social differentiation are found in the Hungarian regions.

Polish and Spanish way of democratisations seems to be similar; however, nowadays Spanish government has to face up to the economic crisis. The main idea of the article is to compare political systems, especially how the local government invests money in so-called tourist attractions. As well as being useless, many of those objects are too expensive to be maintained. It is worth mentioning that some Polish local governments try to implement Spanish ideas (so-called “Bilbao effect”) to their environment, which is not only risky, but also unsuccessful.

The politically motivated distribution of public funding, or porkbarrel politics, occurs for various reasons, one of which is the wish to reward political allies over political rivals. Despite the widespread nature of this practice, research in Central Europe has not yet examined this issue at every level of publication administration. The literature that does exist on this subject has mainly focused on national grant programmes, while less attention has been paid to distribution channels at lower-level administrative units. This article focuses on the distribution of subsidies in the municipalities in the Central Bohemia Region between 2014 and 2016. It uses a binary logistic regression to analyse the factors that lead to an application for a subsidy being supported. A negative binomial regression revealed what factors influence the level of subsidy granted. The results of the analysis show that party ties have a strong effect on the odds of a municipality obtaining a subsidy. This factor, however, has less of an effect on how large a subsidy the municipality obtains, and moreover only does so when the distribution of funding is taking place before an election.

Work is one of basic production factors in agriculture. This paper identities and examines the regional differentiation of work efficiency assuming gross added value as measure per person. An attention was paid to the factors influencing the level of work efficiency. Statistic data analysis showed that the lowest work efficiency occurs in places and regions with both low level of work technical equipment as well as high level of employment and considerable agrarian fragmentation.

W opracowaniu poddano analizie regionalne zróżnicowanie wydajności tego czynnika, przyjmując jako miernik wartość dodaną brutto przypadającą na jedną osobę pełnozatrudnioną w rolnictwie. Zwrócono także uwagę na czynniki wpływające na poziom wydajności pracy. Jak pokazała analiza danych statystycznych, najniższa wydajność pracy występuje w regionach, gdzie jest niski poziom technicznego uzbrojenia pracy, duże zatrudnienie w rolnictwie oraz znaczne rozdrobnienie agrarne.
