PL
W artykule omawiany jest problem konwergencji gospodarek regionalnych województw polskich do stacjonarnych stanów równowagi w modelu Solowa. Pokazano, jak można wyznaczyć odpowiednie parametry β-konwergencji warunkowej i bezwarunkowej ekonometrycznymi metodami panelowymi. Szacunków dokonano metodami panelowymi z tzw. efektami stałymi. Metody te umożliwiają wyznaczenie stóp wzrostu produktywności pracy (indeksu postępu technicznego), a także różnic w produktywności między poszczególnymi województwami.

The author investigates the problem of convergence of Polish regions towards their stationary stable states in the Solow model. The article shows how it is possible to estimate the conditional and unconditional β-convergence with the panel methods. The estimations using panels with fixed effects are performed, which allows to estimate the growth rates of labor productivity (technical progress) and to check the differences between regions with respect to the productivity.
