The domination of USD in the contemporary monetary system exposes global economy, and national economies as well, to the risk of external imbalances, asset bubbles or sudden changes in valuation of foreign exchange reserves. In these circumstances one of the most frequently discussed topics is the possibility of achieving by the renminbi (CNY) the status of international currency, which would allow it to substitute USD in global finance. The article presents the importance of CNY in international monetary system and highlights factors which may affect the road of CNY to the mentioned status.

The 2007-2008 financial crisis is seemed to be biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression of 1929-1933. The root cause of the crisis was the collapse of subprime mortgage market. The reasons of the prior credit boom, however, are not fully understood. The main goal of the paper is to investigate the reasons of precrisis credit boom. Supply- and demand-side determinants of mortgage market are analyzed.

The article presents results of research on relation between productivity of firms from Lodz Voivodeship and their international expansion by exports, imports of intermediate and capital goods and foreign direct investment (FDI). It has been proved, that firms engaged in international activities are more effective, especially firms conducting FDI are the most productive. Two main hypotheses of the so called New New Trade Theory were tested: the self-selection hypothesis (high productivity leads to internationalisation) and the learning- -by-doing hypothesis (internationalisation leads to increase of productivity). The self-selection among region’s firms was proved. On the other hand, the results concerning learning effects turned out to be statistically insignificant. However, due to drawbacks of available data, there are premises for not unequivocally rejecting the learning-by- -doing hypothesis.

The article describes the learning-by-exporting (LBE) phenomenon. The first part focuses on theoretical background for analyses. The second one applies to enterprises from Lodz Voivodeship and their perspectives for learning. The research is based on a survey conducted among firms from the region. The results indicate, that learning is not of prime concern to exporters, however, there are premises for a statement that LBE may occur in a longer period.

The goal of the article is to evaluate the impact of accession to the European Union (EU) on the complexity of goods in Slovak exports. The traditional theories of trade show that such an engagement in economic integration may lead to specialization in the production of either more or less sophisticated goods, depending on the country’s technological advancement and factor endowment. At the same time, increased FDI flows may stimulate the engagement of a country in international production chains with ambiguous effects on export complexity. Because it is impossible to a priori predict the effect economic integration may have on the complexity, it is reasonable to verify it empirically. The authors used the Synthetic Control Method (SCM) to compare the observed post-accession levels of exports complexity in Slovakia with the counterfactual values of that country remaining outside of the EU.

Współczesne, światowe badania nad teorią handlu międzynarodowego skupiają się na wzbogaceniu rozważań o kolejne aspekty: jakościowe, strukturalne czy instytucjonalne. Jednym z coraz częściej poruszanych tematów jest zagadnienie złożoności koszyków eksportowych państw, jej uwarunkowań i wpływu na pozostałe sfery gospodarki. Tej, wciąż niepopularnej na polskim gruncie, problematyce poświęcono niniejszy artykuł. Część pierwsza tekstu stanowi wprowadzenie do rozważań. W części drugiej na podstawie przeglądu literatury opisano znaczenie złożoności eksportu dla gospodarki narodowej, zwłaszcza dla wzrostu gospodarczego i zmian strukturalnych. W trzeciej części zaprezentowano determinanty złożoności, a w czwartej przedstawiono współczesne trendy rozkładu złożoności między krajami i grupami produktowymi. Ostatnia część to podsumowanie pracy.

Contemporary research into the theory of international trade focuses on introducing new qualitative, structural and institutional aspects. One of the topics that seems to be gaining popularity is the issue of the complexity of bundles of exported goods, its determinants, and the effects it has on other elements of national economies. This paper is devoted to the problem because it is still unexplored by the Polish literature. The first section serves as an introduction. The second one contains a survey of literature on the significance of complexity for the economy, especially economic growth and structural transformations. The third section presents the determinants of complexity. The fourth one presents modern trends of complexity distribution among countries and groups of goods. The final section provides a conclusion to the discussion.
