The article examines the role of multinational companies originating from OECD countries in the fragmentation of production processes in Poland. The author also discusses the ways in which multinational companies influence Poland’s foreign trade. Cieślik sets out to check if multinational companies contribute to the fragmentation of international production processes and if their operations lead to a growing proportion of intra-industry trade in Poland’s overall trade with individual OECD countries. The author verifies this hypothesis empirically, using panel data for 29 OECD countries for the 1994-2006 period. Statistical data for Poland’s foreign trade disprove the hypothesis. Empirical data obtained with the use of fixed and random effects estimators show that country-specific factors – rather than the operations of multinational companies – are responsible for the development of intra-industry trade between Poland and other OECD countries, Cieślik says. It thus turns out that incentives other than a desire to reduce production costs tend to be the key factors driving multinational companies in their business in Poland. Cieślik also dispels worries frequently voiced in developed countries that a growing number of businesses may be tempted to move labor-intensive stages of production to emerging markets such as Poland.

The paper aims to examine factors influencing the regional distribution of companies with foreign capital in Poland. The author uses a negative binomial model based on data covering the country’s 16 regions/provinces in 1990-2004. The study expands previous empirical analyses based on data for Poland’s 49 former provinces. The author checks if companies with foreign capital take into account the same factors while making their siting and investment decisions. It turns out that the latest data applying to the 16 regions is less distinct than that obtained in the past with regard to the former 49 provinces. This is due to a high level of data aggregation in the country’s new administrative division, the author explains. The 16 new provinces are larger than the old provinces, as a result of which differences between them are less considerable than in the case of the former provinces. Still, some trends are independent of the degree of data aggregation. These include a positive relationship between the number of companies with foreign capital operating in a given region and the share of the service sector in the overall labor force. Another rule is a negative relationship between the number of companies with foreign capital and real wages and unemployment in the region. The border location of individual regions produces less distinct effects for today’s 16 provinces than in the case of the former 49 provinces. The feedback effect that was found in earlier studies involving the 49 former provinces does not occur in the current regional arrangement based on 16 provinces. Indicators describing the influence of special economic zones on regional economies are statistically significant only when the relevant regression equation takes into account the effects of a region’s border location.

The article analyses the effects of multinational business operations in a host economy under both rigid and flexible real wages. The analysis covers two sectors, domestic and foreign, and features three factors of production in a small open economy: labor, capital and knowledge. The analysis takes into account three effects of multinational operations: transfer of foreign knowledge and related technological changes, diffusion of know-how among local entrepreneurs and the inflow of foreign capital. Under both rigid and flexible wages, the transfer of foreign knowledge to the international business sector leads to its increased productivity and greater use of factors of production. This results in higher production in foreign companies at the expense of limited employment and production in local companies. On the other hand, the diffusion of foreign knowledge in the host economy and the influx of foreign capital counteract a reduced share of the domestic sector. With rigid real wages, the use of labor in the domestic sector, overall employment and national income either decrease or remain unchanged. In some cases, they grow depending on the effects of knowledge diffusion and foreign capital inflow. Labor benefits remain unchanged, while capital benefits either grow or continue at the same level. Under flexible real wages, the use of labor in the domestic sector decreases, but its overall use in the economy does not change. It always remains at a level equivalent to full employment. National income never shrinks in this case. It depends on the effectiveness of foreign knowledge diffusion among local entrepreneurs. Changes in labor and capital benefits depend on differences in the use of capital per unit of labor between the domestic and international sectors. They also depend on the intensity of foreign knowledge diffusion in the host economy and the inflow of foreign capital.

This article provides the results of a statistical analysis of factors affecting the probability of establishment of a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in the region, with the use of probit regression. The obtained empirical results indicate that SEZs were established in regions with a high share of industry in employment, with a high rate of unemployment, and at the same time a fast increase in the number of employed persons. This is a confirmation of theses according to which SEZs have become an instrument of provisional restructuring of industry in regions particularly badly affected by unemployment at the start of systemic transition, instead of being a component of a regional policy aimed at providing foundations for a long-term development of economically underdeveloped regions, in accordance with the European Union and World Trade Organisation principles.

In this paper we study how the expansion of multinational enterprises in the host country affects its wages using a general equilibrium factor specific framework for a small open economy with a flexible labor market. We identify three potential effects of MNE activity associated with the transfer of foreign knowledge, diffusion of this knowledge among indigenous firms and the inflow of capital from abroad. We show that the impact of multinational enterprises on wages in the host country depends on differences in capital intensity between multinational and local sectors, the amount of capital transferred to the host country from abroad and the magnitude of knowledge spillovers stemming from multinational activity to indigenous firms.

In this paper we identify the determinants of export diversification from the perspective of the Ricardian model with many goods. According to this approach, the export diversification of a country can be regarded as an outcome of two effects: a relative productivity change due to technological progress and a relative country size change due to labor force growth compared with the rest of the world. For example, in a country characterized by improved productivity and an increased share of the world stock of labor, diversification should grow, while in the case of a decreased share and improved productivity abroad, it should fall. From the theoretical perspective it is also possible that these two effects neutralize each other and diversification may remain unchanged.
PL
W artykule zidentyfikowano determinanty przedmiotowej dywersyfikacji eksportu z perspektywy modelu ricardiańskiego z wieloma dobrami. W ujęciu tym zmiany w dywersyfikacji eksportu kraju można przedstawić jako wypadkową siły oddziaływania dwóch efektów: zmiany relatywnej produktywności związanej z postępem technologicznym oraz zmiany relatywnej wielkości kraju związanej z tempem przyrostu zasobu siły roboczej w stosunku do zagranicy. Na przykład w kraju charakteryzującym się zarówno poprawą produktywności w stosunku do zagranicy, jak i wzrostem jego udziału w światowym zasobie pracy, dywersyfikacja eksportu powinna rosnąć, natomiast w przypadku spadku tego udziału oraz wzrostu produktywności za granicą - dywersyfikacja powinna spadać. Z punktu widzenia tej teorii możliwa jest również hipotetyczna sytuacja, w której obydwa te efekty przeciwdziałają sobie nawzajem w taki sposób, że dywersyfikacja eksportu może nie ulegać zmianie.

The main goal of this article is to contribute to the theoretical analysis of international trade under imperfect competition using the Cournot oligopoly model with heterogeneous firms. In particular, our objective is to provide some insights into the role of cost asymmetry in studying the effects of trade liberalisation in the Cournot oligopoly framework. In order to introduce firm heterogeneity into the oligopoly model we use the generalised Cournot framework with asymmetric firms that differ in terms of their productivity, levels of output and market shares. We show that trade liberalisation leads to the elimination of less productive firms and results in lower equilibrium prices, higher sales per firm and lower markups in the industry.

This paper studies the ex-post trade efects of China's multilateral, regional and bilateral trade liberalization using augmented gravity and panel data estimation methods for the period 1995-2016. China's accession to the WTO was revealed to have had a significant impact on the volume of trade as well as on bilateral exports and imports. Regional trade agreements and the majority of bilateral trade agreements were found not to be efective in increasing China's foreign trade. Only the agreements with Chile, Costa Rica and Switzerland were efective in increasing China's trade volume. Moreover, the results for Chile were driven by increases in both exports and imports, while for Costa Rica and Switzerland only by increased imports from these countries.

In this paper we revisit the existing empirical evidence on the effects of various agglomeration externalities and the market structure on employment growth in the high-tech industries of the European Economic Area (EEA). Our study is based on the dynamic panel dataset of two-digit NACE rev 1.1. industries in 285 regions of the European Economic Area for the period 1995-2007. We find that employment growth is negatively related to competition, while localization and urbanization externalities do not seem to affect growth.

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.

The main aim of the paper is an ex-post assessment of the 2004-2006 European cohesion policy programs in Poland. The authors analyze the potential impact of structural interventions on production and employment in Polish regions at the NUTS2 level. Instead of the typical demand and short-term approach dominant in the majority of previous studies, the authors rely on a supply approach based on an augmented regional production function. Moreover, the authors take into account regional heterogeneity by distinguishing three different groups of regions: high-income regions, middle-income regions and low-income regions. The authors find that the EU’s cohesion policy in Poland is effective in terms of both regional output and employment. This means that in the case of Polish regions, structural funds and the Cohesion Fund play an important role in regional economic growth and in income convergence with the “old” EU15 countries. Yet, the article also shows that the real impact of structural interventions on regional employment is much lower than suggested by previous simulations based on Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models, the authors say.

Głównym celem artykułu jest ocena ex-post skuteczności programów Europejskiej Polityki Spójności (EPS), realizowanych w Polsce w ramach Narodowego Planu Rozwoju na lata 2004-2006. Analizowany jest potencjalny wpływ interwencji strukturalnych na wielkość produktu i zatrudnienia na poziomie regionalnym. W odróżnieniu od wielu poprzednich badań opartych głównie na podejściu popytowym i analizujących krótkookresowe skutki interwencji strukturalnych, w niniejszym artykule odwołujemy się do podażowego podejścia opartego na zmodyfikowanej regionalnej funkcji produkcji. Ponadto, w przeciwieństwie do wcześniejszej literatury przedmiotu, w której większość badań regionalnych skutków wpływu polityki spójności oparta była na uśrednionych szacunkach dla całego kraju, zastosowane podejście pozwala na uwzględnienie różnorodności regionalnej dzięki przypisaniu poszczególnych regionów do trzech grup różniących się pod względem dochodu na głowę: grupy o wysokich dochodach, grupy o średnich dochodach oraz grupy o niskich dochodach. Wyniki przytyczonej analizy pokazują, polityka spójności UE w Polsce jest skuteczna zarówno pod względem stymulowania regionalnego produktu, jak i zatrudnienia. Oznacza to, że w przypadku Polski fundusze unijne mają istotne znaczenie dla wspierania wzrostu gospodarczego i konwergencji dochodowej względem starych krajów UE-15. Ponadto, uzyskane wyniki wyraźnie pokazują, że rzeczywisty wpływ programów EPS na zatrudnienie w poszczególnych regionach Polski jest znacznie niższy w porównaniu z wynikami symulacji przeprowadzonych przy wykorzystaniu modeli równowagi ogólnej.

The article looks at how Polish firms view corruption and whether they see it as a major obstacle to doing business. The authors investigate the relationship between the characteristic features of firms and their perception of corruption. The authors examine the findings of previous studies in the field. They conduct an empirical analysis using panel data on 25,000 firms in 27 postcommunist countries from 1999 to 2010. The research makes it possible to identify companies for which corruption is a major obstacle to doing business. The authors conclude that corruption is especially troublesome for companies producing goods for the domestic market and for private companies based on domestic capital. The study also finds that corruption poses a problem to companies regardless of their efficiency and size. The authors’ key recommendation for economic policy makers is that they should depersonalize businesses’ contacts with the government administration and reduce their frequency.

Celem artykułu jest zbadanie zależności między charakterystykami przedsiębiorstw a stopniem postrzegania przez nie korupcji jako ważnej przeszkody w działalności. W artykule przedstawiono przegląd literatury na temat wpływu charakterystyk przedsiębiorstw na postrzeganie przez nie korupcji, a następnie przeprowadzono badanie empiryczne przy użyciu danych panelowych dotyczących działalności 25 tys. przedsiębiorstw w 27 krajach postkomunistycznych w latach 1999-2010. Badanie to umożliwiło identyfikację atrybutów firm, dla których korupcja może stanowić największy problem. Z przeprowadzonych badań wynika, że zjawisko to jest najbardziej dokuczliwe w przypadku przedsiębiorstw produkujących na rynek krajowy oraz przedsiębiorstw o prywatnym kapitale krajowym. Ponadto badanie wykazało, że trudności związane z korupcją nie mają związku z efektywnością czy z wielkością firmy. Natomiast duże znaczenie miał czas poświęcony osobistym kontaktom z urzędnikami oraz liczba kontroli państwowych prowadzonych w siedzibie danej firmy. Na tej podstawie w artykule przedstawiono rekomendację dla polityki gospodarczej - należy dążyć do depersonalizacji kontaktów przedsiębiorców z państwem, a także zmniejszenia ich częstości.

In this paper we study Zipf's law, which postulates that the product of a city's population and its rank (the number of cities with a larger or equal population) is constant for every city in a given region. We show that the empirical literature indicates that the law may not always hold, although its general form, the rank-size rule, could be a good first approximation of city size distribution. We perform our own empirical analysis of the distribution of the population of polish cities on the largest possible sample to find that Zipf's law is rejected for poland as the city sizes are less evenly distributed than it predicts.

This article studies the impact of ASEA N on the bilateral exports of its 10 member countries. It reports the results of applying the gravity model to a data set covering 50 partner countries from 1967 to 2008. The study’s empirical findings show that on average ASEA N regionalism significantly increases bilateral exports. However, the results are country-specific and indicate that ASEA N seems to benefit only large economies with a long history of membership, while smaller more recent members do not show significant expansion of exports.
