The second part of the paper presents a model showing how to design a cooperative game for children and demonstrates an example of a cooperative game for preschool learners.

The paper investigates revealed comparative advantages and competitiveness of the Hungarian and Slovenian agro-food trade in the three main European Union markets between 1993 and 2003. The Balassa index indicates that both countries have lost comparative advantage for a number of product groups over time. The results show that in Hungarian two-way agro-food trade the prevalence is on successful price competition and on successful quality competition. In Slovenian two-way agro-food trade the prevalence is on unsuccessful price competition and unsuccessful quality competition. The tests for consistency associations between the revealed comparative advantages and the competitiveness measures confirm similarities and differences in the results.

In the empirical part, results of studies are presented that have identified the ratio of entrepreneurs to cooperate in the implementation.

We summarize main effects which lead to the innovation rate in real economy being different from social optimum. From the viewpoint of theory of economic growth, it is possible that market subjects innovate less but also more than socially optimal. Intensity of competition is one of the most important determinants of innovation rate. We list main policy instruments which can influence rate of innovation.

The centralization the corporate structural system inherited from the planned economy acts as an impediment to market competition, so that many of the big, artificially created state-owned firms have to be broken up. An active part in doing so has to be played by the state, through the Economic Competition Office as 'guardian' of competition. The logic is clear, but a matter of dispute theoretically and in practice. The article presents the theoretical dilemmas of demonopolization that appeared with the change of system and shows what attempts were made to resolve them through competition regulation and the activity of the Competition Office. It emerges from the analysis that the main role in building up the structural conditions was not played by the Competition Office, which declined the task of inspecting the inherited structure and the privatization decisions, seeing it as economically and politically delicate. As for the small number of merger decisions connected with privatization that it took, they were handled in a legal fashion, but most of the sales and take-overs were simply permitted, not always for consistent reasons.

The purpose of our research was to study gender differences in competition between friends among young Hungarian adults. We were asked 345 college and university students - 161 men and 184 women - for their opinions related to rivalry between same-sex friends, and for their own behavioural intentions in different competitive situations. In order to achieve our goal we have developed a questionnaire based on our own method. The questionnaire contained six situations where friends could compete with each other for different purposes. These purposes were: sexual partner, material goods, intellectual superiority, sport achievement, social acceptance and career opportunity. In each situation subjects were asked to assess reactions given by the investigators as to how much they accept them, how likely they think other people could choose them as possible behaviour and to choose one reaction which is appropriate for them. Results unequivocally confirm the theories which consider competition a very important and sometimes unavoidable factor in the friendship of persons of the same gender. The quality of the competition appearing in different situations is determined by many factors. An important factor is the person's gender, which in most cases influenced the different answers in interaction with the situational and personality factors, for example the person's disposition to competition. Our results show the peculiarity of the difference between the competition of men and women. We have not found any certain proof of the common theory that women see representatives of their own sex as being more competitive than men, and that women do not undertake competition openly in their behaviour. The results reflect the interactive influence of gender and other factors, an interaction in which the influence of the person's gender has a dynamically changing direction and intensity.

The article presents the concept of predatory pricing and price squeezing and the economic background to it, before examining what judicial practice has developed and what regulatory intervention there has been. The question of investigating predatory pricing and price squeezes has come to the fore recently because it has become clear since the liberalization of the network public services that liberalization and an end to exclusivity of rights are insufficient to produce the desired measure of competition. After liberalization, it was recognized legally in the EU that a new, more co-reliant and cooperative relation would have to develop in branch and competition regulation. Regulatory changes are taking two directions. On the one hand, greater emphasis is being given in branch regulation to the principles of competition regulation. On the other, the role of branch experts is likely to increase in some areas, such as takeovers, mergers and restriction of competition. A common feature of the regulatory reforms is that well-founded regulatory decisions call for increasingly subtle analysis, in which economic analyses are playing an ever more important role.

Competition is a way of coordinating the market, whereas competitiveness is an asset in the rivalry between companies. All market players benefit from competition. On the demand side of the market, consumers receive a product that can better satisfy their needs. On the supply side, competitive conditions of economic environment force enterprises to enhance their economic activity (stimulation effect) as well as to develop cooperation based on specialisation (specialisation effect). Tangible benefits of competition are also expected as a result of intensification of the effect of production scale (optimalisation effect). Competitiveness is a notion that estimates the behaviour of the participants of market competition, mostly from the point of view of the results of their activities and their capability to generate a financial surplus (or other benefits). With regard to the competitiveness of the Polish economy, we can observe a steady improvement in its competitive position. However, the pace of change is far from satisfactory. There are still numerous segments whose prospects are not optimistic. These include, for example, infrastructure, macroeconomic environment, innovativeness or the efficiency of economic environment institutions. In order to assess the chances of boosting the competitiveness of the Polish economy one must determine the relevant factors of economic growth. It seems that more weight should be given to direct factors affecting the dynamics of growth processes. It is the efficiency of human capital that determines what, how and where will be manufactured and in what proportions economic effects will be distributed. We should search for factors which determine the growth dynamics of the competitiveness of economic aggregates (enterprises, economic branches) in the long term.

Emergence of cooperative linkages among competitors quite often accompanies rivalries and the operation price mechanism. This particular type of relations among the actors taking part in market game is termed coopetition. In the article the processes of coopetition are described as instruments that control the behavior of firms. In particular, factors that influence the results of processes by which firms compete and cooperate among themselves are identified. It is stressed that further empirical research on coopetition needs a thorough systematization of concepts and methods.

Among the various studies on cross-cultural aspects of self-concept there is a huge lack on relation of self-concept to competition. In our study, we try to reject a stereotype, that competition is not a desired personal characteristic. The principal hypothesis is, therefore, that if competition is investigated in a context of self-concept, positive dimensions as well as correlations with self-concept areas can appear. As a consequence, a new model of self-concept, based on different kinds of competition, could be postulated. It could also be assumed that this model might differ from culture to culture. There were, accordingly, participants from three countries taking part in the study. The countries were chosen on basis of the political and cultural indicators in Eastern/Southern versus Western/Southern European transitions: Slovenia, Serbia and Spain. There are two particular aims to the research. The first one is to find out if there are any differences in self-concept and competition among participants from different countries. In accordance with the second aim, the investigation of the correlations between self-concept and competition within each national cultural group is underlined. The study comprised 169 Slovene, 99 Serbian and 140 Spanish participants. We found that the cultural indicator has a significant impact on self-concept and competition. What is more, it could be assumed that 'Southern' disposition predominates over Eastern as well as Western dimensions, which means that Slovenes could be among the more competitive participants, but have lower self-concept areas than their Southern peers.

A competition belongs to the main principles of public procurement. The public procurement has to be opened to competition in order to fulfil the main objectives of public procurement – to select a bid most convenient as quality price ratio principle is concerned. The article gives a more detailed analysis of economic subjects as possible public procurement participants. It explores differences in understanding the key concepts – undertaking, consortium, economic activity - from the point of view of both branches of economic regulation. At the same time it offers solutions how to develop competition in public procurement – on one hand through adequate interpretation of the relevant concepts, on the other hand, eventually, by amending the public procurement legal regulation.

According to the case law of the Court of Justice of the EU, every injured party has the right to compensation due to the abuse of participation in competition. Competition authorities cannot rule on private law claims arising from breaches of public competition law, as this jurisdiction lies exclusively with the national courts. Any infringement of competition law is undesirable because it is linked to interference with the competition system as a whole, as well as with an interference with the property sphere of the persons concerned. The author points to the development of private enforcement at EU level before the entry into force of the Private Enforcement Directive, discusses the development of the Court’s approach to claiming damages for breaches of competition law, the Private Enforcement Directive and the Competition Compensation Act.
