The article examines the economic determinants of interregional migrations in Poland in 1995-2006. The author describes selected theoretical issues linked with the process and analyzes the influence of economic factors on interregional migration flows. Roszkowska evaluates the influence of selected macroeconomic variables on interregional migration flows using gravity models and data such as GDP per capita, labor productivity, unemployment, and the level of urbanization in individual provinces in Poland in 1995-2006. The analysis enabled the author to identify the most popular destinations for migration. These are chiefly provinces with a relatively well-developed infrastructure, a modern labor force structure by sector, and high economic development indicators. Outlying and poor provinces are the least popular destinations as far as migration is concerned, Roszkowska says. She concludes that the economic development of individual provinces-measured with indicators such as GDP per capita, the situation on regional labor markets, including differences in pay and unemployment rates, and the size of urban centers-has a statistically significant impact on interregional migration flows in Poland.

The authors investigated how economic growth affects the disparity in the distribution of regional income in Poland and vice versa. The research was based on annual data covering the period 2000–2009. In general, the research was divided into two main parts. First, the authors examined the evolution of the level of spatial inequalities in income in Poland over the last decade using the concepts of sigma and beta convergence. Next the nature of causal dependences was investigated between this inequality and economic growth. It was found that Polish regions did not converge with respect to the distribution of income as total GDP grew. The second part of the research provided evidence to claim that this inequality caused growth. Moreover, the evidence was also found that growth affected regional inequality. Finally, the authors noticed that the effects of both these factors were positive. The results suggest that as a consequence of rapid economic growth, some regions in Poland seized new opportunities, while less developed regions were unable to keep up with the challenging requirements of a decade of fast economic growth.

Research background: The processes of economic convergence observed in many developing countries are characterized by reduction of economic differences on the cross-country level, which are accompanied by growing internal economic inequalities. This may stem from the fact that in the catching-up countries a more dynamic growth pattern is observed in the economically strongest regions, which is initially reflected in spatial polarization and increasing regional inequalities. However, just as the countries reach higher levels of development, the diffusion of growth-inducing impulses to less-developed areas should lead to the spatial equalizing of the development levels and reducing regional inequalities. Purpose of the article: The aim of the paper is to determine the relationship be-tween the level of economic growth and observed economic inequalities in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. The theoretical framework adopted to describe and explain those relations is the so-called Williamson's hypothesis in which the relationship between the scale of regional inequalities and economic growth is illustrated by a curve shaped like an inverted U. Methods: The research procedure was intended to verify William-son?s hypothesis by estimating parabolic econometric models. Indicators of economic growth along with measure of regional inequalities (Williamson's coefficient of variation) were used in the regression modeling. The research period spanned the years 1995-2014. Findings & Value added: In the light of the study of CEE countries, it was possible to observe both convergence symptoms as well as divergence tendencies. It can be thus stated that the analyzed CEE countries followed a similar path to the one observed earlier by Williamson in other developing countries. However, the analyses conducted by the authors at the national and regional levels of CEE countries were equivocal and did not fully support the theoretical assumptions of Williamson?s hypothesis.

In this study, the sporting activity of Hungarian school pupils is investigated with a focus on regional differences. The objective of the paper is to answer the following questions: Are there regional differences in pupils’ sporting activity, and, if yes, what is their relationship with the socio-cultural background of the pupils and the infrastructural and staffing conditions of schools? Has the 2012 introduction of daily physical education had a different effect on pupils’ leisure-time sporting activity in disadvantaged and affluent regions? Can the trends in the sporting activity of pupils be characterized as convergent or divergent since the introduction of daily physical education? The paper is based on an extensive study that relies on the most comprehensive database on physical education in schools, the National Assessment of Basic Competencies (NABC). The present study statistically analyzed eighth-grade pupil and school data from the 2010 and 2014 NABC. The results present the regional differences in pupils’ participation in sporting activity, their recent modification, and the main reasons behind the changes. In conclusion, the authors state that social, economic, and cultural inequalities are not clearly reflected in the sporting activity of students; however, certain data still call attention to the need to examine regional differences.

Celem artykułu jest próba odpowiedzi na pytanie o wpływ przystąpienia Polski do Unii Europejskiej na nierówności regionalne w naszym kraju. Przedstawiono w nim neoklasyczny model egzogenicznego wzrostu z saldem środków UE, przeznaczonych do realizacji polityki spójności i konwergencji. Model ten jest uogólnieniem standardowego modelu wzrostu Solowa–Swana. W artykule omówiono metody wyznaczania wartości zmiennych modeli wzrostu w stacjonarnych stanach równowagi. Przeprowadzono analizę nierówności regionalnych w Polsce w ujęciu retrospektywnym w latach 2004–2006 oraz w ujęciu prospektywnym na podstawie modeli wzrostu gospodarki Polski oraz gospodarek województw. Przedstawiono wnioski dotyczące skutków realizacji programu spójności i konwergencji w Polsce oraz postulaty na temat zasad konstrukcji nowych regionalnych modeli wzrostu jako instrumentów opisu i analizy nierówności regionalnych.

The aim of the article is to answer the question about the effects of Poland’s accession to the European Union from the point of view of regional inequalities in Poland. We present a neoclassical model of exogenous growth with the balance of European Union’s resources allocated to the cohesion and convergence policy implementation. The model is a generalization of the standard growth model of Solow and Swan. in the paper, we describe the methods of establishing the values of the model variables in a steady state. We perform a retrospective analysis of regional inequalities in Poland for the period 2004–2006 and a prospective analysis based on the models of growth of the Polish economy and the regional economies of voivodships. We draw conclusions about the first effects of the cohesion and convergence programme in Poland and the postulates for the principles of construction of new regional growth models as instruments of description and analysis of convergence and regional inequalities.

This paper aims to determine and characterize the most important socio economic developmental problems occurring contemporarily in Eastern Germany. The spatial scope of the study embraces a territory of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR), defined in the official German nomenclature as "Neue Bundeslander”. Since the Reunification of Germany in 1990 this territory has been a realm of constant transformation, which due to its intensity and scale had never been preceded in whole Middle-East Europe. The study takes a regional approach to the developmental problems of Eastern Germany, its aim being an illustration of ardency in both positive and negative phenomena resulting from transition process in chosen regions. The auth o r's particular interest focuses on labours market, demographic trends and transformation of urban space, including shrinking cities and metropolization.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest określenie, które czynniki w latach 1998-2008, w największym stopniu wpłynęły na ukształtowanie się różnic w poziomie wydajności pracy pomiędzy województwami w Polsce. Tak sformułowany cel badania został zrealizowany dzięki zastosowaniu nieparametrycznej metody DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) oraz indeksu produktywności Malmquista. Zastosowanie indeksu produktywności pozwoliło dokonać dekompozycji zmian wydajności pracy na trzy składniki: zmiany relatywnej efektywności, postęp technologiczny oraz akumulacja kapitału rzeczowego. W rezultacie rozpoznano źródła zmian wydajności pracy w badanym okresie oraz sformułowano rekomendacje pod kątem polityki regionalnej.

The present article aims to determine which factors contributed most to a differentiation of productivity levels of Polish voivodeships in the years 1998-2008. The author applied a non-parametric DEA method (Data Envelopment Analysis) and the Malmquist productivity index. The use of the latter allowed the author to distinguish three components of changes in productivity: changes in relative efficiency, technological progress and accumulation of real capital. As a result, sources of changes of productivity in the studied time period were found and recommendations for regional policies were formulated.
