W artykule podjęta została próba pomiaru (oceny) zależności poziomu rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego regionów szczebla NUTS 2 (Nomenclature of Units for Territorial Statistics) krajów UE mierzonego produktem krajowym brutto per capita w PPS (Purchasing Power Standard) od poziomu niektórych czynników gospodarki opartej na wiedzy. Do oceny zależności poziomu GOW i rozwoju regionalnego wykorzystano ekonometryczne modele dla danych panelowych (model z efektami ustalonymi). Ze względu na dostępność informacji statystycznych w momencie prowadzenia badania, do analizy wzięto pod uwagę dane z lat 2002-2004.

The article follows the direction set by applied econometrics. It presents an attempt, by means of statistics and econometric modeling methods, of measuring interdependencies between European economies at NUTS 2 level and the selected factors of knowledge based economy. Panel data estimation techniques were used for measuring these interdependencies. The suggested research procedure, using models based on pre-set effect, becomes an effective tool for measuring the interdependencies between regional development and knowledge based economy factors. The research results point to a strong relation between the level of regional development and the structure of factors crucial for knowledge based economy. The regions presenting a higher level of regional development are characterized by a more favorable structure of knowledge based economy factors.(original abstract)
