The ICT-based techno-economic paradigm shift was sharpened by income inequalities in all over the world. The economic performance of USA and Europe were seemed to more different thanks to global economic events. The main purpose of this study is to estimate various macroeconomic variables such as GDP and labour for the period of 1993-2013. In order to indicate economic growth an alternative growth accounting method was used to decompose impacts of physical capital accumulation, technological changes and labour. Analysing the time series data of various OECD countries we could conclude that a large part of the variations in the output gap stem from the cyclical variations of total labour input and the total factor productivity (TFP). Hence, our results were reflected the relevance of technological progress.

The paper provides a new approach to the classification of EU countries into innovation-performance groups, taking into account their social regime. In the Introduction, it draws on some empirical evidence of synchronised research and development (R&D) performance within a social regime. In the second and third parts it reviews the literature on measuring R&D performance, and in the fourth part it summarizes social regime classifications. The fifth and longest part of the paper proceeds to a comparative analysis of the empirical data, pointing out disparities, both respects to numbers and members, in the composition of innovation-performance groups. In the final part, the paper summarizes key findings.

The main goal of this paper is to empirically investigate the regional dimension of productivity determinants for 24 regions of Ukraine using micro-level dataset for individual firms in 2013. The novelty of our analysis is the comparison of the determinants of productivity in the manufacturing and service sectors. We estimate both pooled regressions for all regions and separate regressions for particular regions. The estimation results obtained for the entire country demonstrate that the majority of our explanatory variables are statistically significant for the manufacturing sector and all are statistically significant for the service sector although at different levels of significance. At the same time, the estimation results obtained separately for each region show a large degree of heterogeneity across the regions and sectors and the lack of scale economies at the firm-level.

Research background: The paper presents the issue of total factor productivity in the manufacturing industry in Poland. It has been assumed that total factor productivity (TFP) is a synthetic measure of efficiency of the production process and a measure of the impact of technical progress on the rate of economic growth. Purpose of the article: The main aim of the paper is to assess the differentiation in the level of total factor productivity (TFP) occurring among the Section C manufacturing divisions in Poland. In particular, the paper raises the issue of measuring and analysing the relationship between expenditure on research and development and the level of TFP in manufacturing divisions in Poland. Methods: In the presented research, the TFP level was determined by using the two-factor Cobb-Douglas production function, while econometric panel models were used to assess the studied relationship. Findings & Value added: The presented considerations show that manufacturing divisions in Poland are diversified in terms of total factor productivity. Generally, manufacturing divisions with high R&D intensity, i.e. divisions classified as so-called high-tech ones, are characterised by a high TFP level. The econometric analysis carried out allows us to conclude that expenditure on R&D incurred in manufacturing enterprises significantly affects the level of TFP.

The paper analyzes the influence of labor productivity on employment in various branches of Poland’s manufacturing sector in 1993-2007. The author attempts to determine if changes in labor productivity and employment were substitutive or complementary in nature and whether the relationship between these processes was stable or liable to change. The analysis, using the Pearsoncorrelation coefficient (which measures the strength of the linear relationship between two variables), shows that the relationship between labor productivity and employment turned from substitutive to complementary and that an improvement in labor productivity had no distinct impact on employment in the short term, while in the long term it promoted an increase in employment. The relationship between labor productivity and employment varied because the ways in which labor productivity improved tended to change. In the 1990s institutional changes led to an improvement in labor productivity, including the introduction of market economy mechanisms, privatization and greater competition in the wake of opening the economy. At the time the simplest method was used: employment reductions. With time this option petered out and companies began to improve labor productivity (and competitiveness) by investing, modernizing their fixed assets, and introducing product rather than process innovations. This had a favorable influence on employment, the author says.

This paper empirically researches the productivity changes of Polish banking industry during period of 1998-2008, by applying a non-parametric Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) method. This methodology is well establishing approach in exploring performance measures, productivity growth, technological change and technical efficiency. In specifying the variables input-output, an asset/profit approach has been is chosen, which simplify the potential correlation between financial results of the bank with the investment level in IT. Results indicate that during the study period, over eleven years Polish banking industry experienced steady technological progress. All 17 biggest banks chosen for the study, which represent 85% of the asset base, have maintained overall productivity gain. Within this group analysis shows no significant difference linked to the scale/size of the banks. Local inefficiency observed does not seem to have any systematic pattern.

There exist many examples of countries that have seriously reduced, over the past 150 years, the development gap vis-à-vis economic leaders. The decisive factor was the rapid increase of the total factor productivity (TFP), possible due to the technological progress. In the article, the author verified 6 important hypotheses underlying the Productivity Strategy 2030 published by the Polish government, on the basis of the experience of 96 countries around the world over the last 60 years. Most of these hypotheses were positively verified. However, when implementing the Strategy, one should remember that the increase in the aggregate productivity observed throughout the economy is only the combined effect of the increase in productivity occurring at the enterprise level. Therefore, the pursuit of more developed countries requires, first of all, the creation of appropriate conditions for the development of enterprises.

Research Background: Understanding how trade openness (TO) and innovation interact to drive total factor productivity (TFP) growth is a critical debate. Policymakers in BRICS and D-8 countries require evidence-based insights to formulate strategies that effectively integrate trade and innovation policies. Purpose of the article: The purpose is to assess whether and how TO contributes to TFP growth, emphasizing interaction with innovation, and to provide insights to policymakers in BRICS and D-8 countries in formulating strategies that integrate trade and innovation policies. Methods: The study employs robust econometric techniques to address panel data challenges and ensure reliable results. These techniques help to accurately capture the effects of TO on TFP while considering the moderating role of innovation. The study also includes a heterogeneous analysis to account for differences in the developmental contexts between BRICS and D-8 countries. Findings & value added: The findings reveal that TO positively and significantly impacts TFP, driven by improved resource allocation and access to new markets. Innovation significantly enhances the productivity benefits of TO, particularly in BRICS. The heterogeneous analysis indicates consistent TFP improvements across both groups, although the impact of innovation varies, reflecting different developmental stages. The positive impact of TO on TFP in both groups highlights the importance of integrating trade and innovation policies. The study underscores the importance of reducing trade barriers and investing in research and development and patent protection to maximize productivity. These insights offer valuable guidance for policymakers in tailoring trade and innovation strategies for BRICS and D-8 countries.

This article contributes to the discussion concerning the relation between knowledge Capital and economic growth. The author draws on theoretical background and empirical verification in order to analyse the relation between human capital (educational Capital) and countries' economic performance and economic growth. The analysis also looks at the nexus R&D capital and economic growth, both directly and indirectly, through the total factor productivity channel. The paper discusses, among others, the interaction between educational capital and R&D capital on the one hand, and, on the other, the country distance from the world technology frontier. Other essential drivers of economic growth and TFP growth are also explored.

Wpływ metrologii na gospodarkę tradycyjnie ocenia się za pomocą modeli ekonometrycznych będących modyfikacjami funkcji Cobba-Douglasa, w których uwzględnia się całkowitą produktywność czynników (ang. total factor productivity – TFP). Takie modele pozwalają na badanie kointegracji zmiennych metrologicznych z podstawowymi zmiennymi makroekonomicznymi. Jednak w przypadku Polski, ze względu na ograniczenia wynikające z niewystarczającej liczby obserwacji, a więc krótkich szeregów czasowych zmiennych metrologicznych, nie mogły one zostać wykorzystane. Celem badania omawianego w artykule jest ocena wpływu metrologii na gospodarkę w Polsce z wykorzystaniem modelu wzrostu Solowa. Model ten umożliwia podejście symulacyjne poprzez zakłócenia w TFP. Zgodnie z wiedzą autorów takie podejście nie było dotychczas stosowane do analizowania wpływu metrologii na gospodarkę. Badanie wykazało, że 1-procentowy wzrost zapasów netto norm koreluje ze wzrostem wydajności pracy, mierzonej jako wielkość produkcji na pracownika, o 0,35%. Wyniki te są zgodne z podobnymi analizami przeprowadzonymi w innych krajach i przyczyniają się do lepszego zrozumienia ekonomicznego znaczenia metrologii.

The impact of metrology on the economy is typically determined on the basis of econometric models that are the modifications of the Cobb-Douglas function and which take into account total factor productivity (TFP). Such models make it possible to examine the cointegration of metrological variables and basic macroeconomic variables. However, this approach could not be used to determine the impact of metrology on the economy in Poland due to too few observations, and thus short time series of the macroeconomic data. The aim of the study presented in this article is to assess the impact of metrology on the economy in Poland by means of the Solow growth model. This model allows a simulation-based approach to analyse the effects of metrology by perturbing TFP. To the authors' best knowledge, this type of approach has not yet been used to examine the impact of metrology on the economy. The study demonstrates that a 1-percent increase in the net stock of standards correlates with a 0.35-percent rise in labour productivity, measured as production per employee. These findings align with similar analyses conducted in other countries, contributing to the understanding of metrology's economic significance.

Artykuł stanowi przyczynek do dyskusji nad wpływem wiedzy, w szczególności wiedzy technologicznej we wzroście gospodarczym, w sposób bezpośredni jak i pośrednio poprzez kanał ogólnej produktywności czynników produkcji. Podkreślona jest konieczność tworzenia odpowiedniego potencjału społeczno- technologicznego na rzecz tworzenia wiedzy technologicznej oraz jej adaptacji. Nie zachodzi konwergencja technologiczna między krajami znajdującymi się w różnych stadiach rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego, jeśli nie kontrolowany jest poziom zdolności kraju na rzecz tworzenia i absorpcji wiedzy.

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that performing gross value added growth decompositions in four variants makes it possible to deepen the observation of economic processes. These variants have been obtained on the basis of two fundamental dichotomies. The first of them involved performing a decomposition of the gross value added growth into the contributions of production factor remunerations, and, in parallel, a decomposition into the contributions of production factor stocks and total factor productivity (TFP). The second dichotomy involved performing separate but parallel decompositions for employees and for employed persons. The devised methodology made it possible to perform computations for the years 2001–2015 at the aggregate level, according to NACE sections, according to voivodships and according to both the NACE sections and the voivodships. The decompositions were performed basing on Statistics Poland’s data from the Bank of Local Data and the National Accounts. The presented results confirm that performing decompositions according to the two above-mentioned dichotomies makes it possible to deepen the analyses of the economic growth, which is especially important in the regional aspect.

Celem artykułu jest wykazanie, że wykonanie dekompozycji przyrostu wartości dodanej brutto w czterech wariantach umożliwia pogłębienie obserwacji procesów zachodzących w gospodarce. Warianty te uzyskano na podstawie dwóch zasadniczych dychotomii. Pierwsza dotyczyła dekompozycji na kontrybucje wynagrodzeń czynników produkcji z jednej strony oraz na kontrybucje zasobów czynników produkcji i ich produktywności (total factor productivity – TFP) z drugiej strony. Druga polegała na wykonaniu dekompozycji równolegle dla zatrudnionych oraz dla pracujących. Opracowana metodologia umożliwiła dokonanie obliczeń dla lat 2001–2015 na poziomie zagregowanym według sekcji PKD, województw oraz jednocześnie sekcji i województw. Przeprowadzono je na podstawie danych z Banku Danych Lokalnych i rachunków narodowych GUS. Wyniki potwierdzają, że wykonanie dekompozycji według ww. dychotomii umożliwia pogłębienie analiz wzrostu gospodarczego, co jest szczególnie istotne w aspekcie regionalnym.
