Objective: The aim of the paper is twofold. First, we investigate the mobility of Polish municipalities within the distribution of per capita EU fund expenditures over two terms of office: 2007–2010 and 2011–2014. The resulting joint distribution serves as the basis for some empirical analyses. Second, we consider the relationship between mobility and social capital in 16 Polish regions. Research Design & Methods: We make use of a transition probability matrix and rank-rank regression. Additionally, we employ Spearman’s rank correlation and Kendall’s rank correlation. Both nation-wide and region-specific analyses are conducted. Findings: The municipalities most (least) successful in attracting EU funds in the 2007–2010 period tended to maintain their positions in the 2011–2014 period. The relative and absolute mobility of municipalities – EU funds beneficiaries – differ considerably across regions. There is a significant negative correlation between within-region absolute mobility and the level of bridging social capital within regions. Implications/Recommendations: The persistence of municipalities at the ends of the EU fund absorption ranking can facilitate forecasts of the spatial allocation of EU funds and, consequently, its effects. Contribution: To the author’s best knowledge, the study constitutes the first empirical analysis of within-distribution mobility of municipalities – EU funds beneficiaries. We also provide an initial study on the nexus between social capital and mobility within the ranking of EU funds beneficiaries. Adding to an earlier study by Swianiewicz et al. (2008), we show that the allocation of EU funds in Poland is affected by the level and structure of social capital.

The recent financial and economic crisis turned out to be a catalyst for a sovereign debt crisis in some countries. As a result, the issue of fiscal (in)sustainability has been high on the agenda of economic research and economic policy. In the case of a decentralized government system one should take into account the division of public debt between respective levels of the government. The aim of the article is to verify whether Polish voivodeships conduct sustainable fiscal policies. The impact of fiscal equalization scheme (both vertical and horizontal ones) is also considered. In particular, it is worth examining whether fiscal rules imposed on local government entities counterbalance a soft budget constraint problem. The article uses panel data analysis in conjunction with Bohn’s model of fiscal sustainability. The results of the analysis support the hypothesis of sustainability of fiscal policies in Polish voivodeships in the period 2004-2012.

Celem artykułu jest określenie wpływu części wyrównawczej subwencji ogólnej na zróżnicowanie dochodów gmin w Polsce. Okres badania obejmuje lata 2007–2014. W artykule omówiono konstrukcję subwencji wyrównawczej. Przedstawiono również jej udział w dochodach własnych i dochodach ogółem wszystkich gmin oraz gmin – beneficjentów. W analizie empirycznej rozkładów dochodów na mieszkańca wykorzystano następujące mierniki zróżnicowania i koncentracji: współczynnik zmienności, współczynnik Giniego oraz indeks Theila. Z badania wynika, że w wymienionym okresie redystrybucja pionowa zmniejszała zróżnicowanie dochodów gmin na mieszkańca. Wpływ ten był silniejszy w odniesieniu do dochodów własnych niż dochodów ogółem. Część wyrównawcza subwencji ogólnej przyczyniała się do spadku zróżnicowania dochodów gmin zarówno wewnątrz województw, jak i pomiędzy nimi.

The trend towards decentralization of government activities has prompted an increased interest in sub-national fiscal rules. The paper investigates an ex ante adaptation to the modified subnational fiscal framework. Using a panel of 2,479 Polish municipalities in the years 2011-2013 the aim is to verify the existence of the side effect of the new debt repayment rule. The empirical results show that local government units for which the new rule would have been more demanding than the former generated higher revenues per capita from asset sales.
