  • Poland (Country Report)
    Country update POLAND Summary After growing strongly with 4.3% in 2011, the economy of Poland is expected to slow to a still respectable 2-3% in 2012 – despite the Euro 2012 soccer championship in Poland. Fiscal austerity, elevated unemployment and slowing investment weigh on economic growth. Developments in the eurozone pose a downside risk to the growth outlook. Despite strong fundamentals, the zloty depreciated in the second half of 2011, but has since recovered partly. The volatile zloty adds to the government’s challenge to keep its public debt below 55% of GDP, as a third is denominated in foreign currency. The ongoing fiscal consolidation, on the other hand, supports public debt reduction. In 2011, the fiscal deficit was 5.6% of GDP, down from 7.8% in 2010. This year’s target is below 3% of GDP, but this seems rather ambitious. The coalition of PO and PSL renewed its term in the October 2011 parliamentary elections and is expected to continue on its path of cautious reform.

  • AGRICULTURAL SECTOR in ECONOMY of POLAND in 1950-2020. Stanisław Kowalczyk1, Mariola Kwasek2 Abstract Agriculture Constitutes O
    doi: 10.5937/WBJAE2002077K WBJAERD, Vol. 2, No. 2 (69-152), July - December, 2020 AGRICULTURAL SECTOR IN ECONOMY OF POLAND IN 1950-2020. Stanisław Kowalczyk1, Mariola Kwasek2 Abstract Agriculture constitutes one of the first and foremost forms of conscious and organised human activity. Its importance for the society and for the economy stems from its main purpose, namely to meet one of the basic human needs – to satisfy hunger. The period of almost 70 years under consideration brought about exceptional change in the case of Polish agriculture. It consisted of a systematic decline in the potential of agriculture in the economy. The factor that is specific to agriculture - land, evolved relatively the least. Land allocated for agricultural purposes reduced for about one quarter. Much deeper changes have taken place in the other two factors, universal from the point of view of the sectoral application, namely work (human resources) and capital. In the post-war period, trade in agri-food products, albeit small, remained of great importance for the development of Polish agriculture and the entire economy. The nature of the links in this area has also undergone significant changes. Since Poland’s accession to the European Union, the balance in foreign trade in agri-food products has been positive and has been growing steadily. This means that foreign customers are becoming increasingly interested in agricultural and food products from Poland. The strategic directions of development for Polish agriculture are the production of bovine meat, poultry meat, eggs, milk and milk products, butter, sugar, fruits, vegetables, pulses, potatoes and cereals. Food consumption has also undergone dynamic changes.

  • Success and Failure of Renewable Energy Policies in the EU: a Comparative Study of Bulgaria and Poland Misato Adachi
    Success and failure of renewable energy policies in the EU: a comparative study of Bulgaria and Poland Misato Adachi Abstract: The development of renewable energy sources is central to the goal of gaining independence from conventional fossil fuels and achieving a sustainable energy supply. As these technologies are not yet fully developed and due to multi-dimensional selection environments cannot always compete with conventional energy sources in the market, renewable energy sources initially require temporary protective space. Although some research has identified important factors with regard to the development of renewable technologies, there have not been any clear empirical studies, especially focusing on the new Member States of the European Union. Bulgaria and Poland in particular showed divergent results with regard to the deployment of the renewables. One, Bulgaria, achieved an outstanding increase in the share of energy coming from renewables since its target was set in 2009, while another, Poland, has seen a sluggish result with regard to its policies. The aim of this paper is to identify the factors leading to the successful promotion of renewable energy in the new Member States by using a comparative study of the cases of Bulgaria and Poland. The comparative study is conducted based on the three protective spaces advocated by Smith & Raven (2012). As a result, two main factors can be seen as the determinants of the success of renewable energy policies; “improvement of connection to grid networks in shielding process” and “schemes for a transition from a niche space to a socio-technical regime in an energy industry structure in empowering process.” Additionally, the delay of effective renewable energy policy implementation, which in the case of Poland, led to a failure of policy.

  • Globalization and the Polish Economy: Stylized Facts and CGE Model Simulations
    Globalization and the Polish Economy: Stylized Facts and CGE Model Simulations Michał Gradzewicz, Jan Hagemejer, Zbigniew Żółkiewski National Bank of Poland* Abstract The aim of the paper is to quantitatively assess the impact of globalization on the economy of Poland in the medium term. Four channels of impact of globalization are distinguished: (i) trade openness, (ii) productivity improvement, (iii) labour migrations, (iv) liberalization of the services sector. First, we discuss stylized facts on adjustment of the Polish economy to globalization. Then we will present and discuss model-based simulations. As a modelling tool we use a computable general equilibrium model with multiple industries, labour markets, households and imperfect competition features. Our results show positive and quite significant effects of globalization on the performance of the Polish economy. The strongest positive impact comes from productivity acceleration. Liberalization of services has also a considerable positive impact on GDP and especially on employment. The sizeable expected migrations result in negative effects of globalization by decreasing growth potential and causing upward pressure on wages. At the sectoral level, globalization is in particular beneficial to some exporting sectors and skilled segments of the labour market. JEL classification: C68 F15 F22 keywords: globalization, computable general equilibrium, labour migrations, trade liberalization * The views presented in this paper are those of the authors and not the institution they represent. Corresponding author: [email protected] 1. Introduction Over the last decades, global processes have gained significance as the factor important for the growth of Poland ‘s economy. It was in fact the coincidence of two major developments.

The aim of the paper is to find the answer to the question what the reason of the relatively low innovation level of the Polish economy is in comparison with other countries. In 2016, the Polish economy took the fourth place from the last among all the EU member states, reaching the innovation level of less than 55% relative to that of the EU in 2010. In the first part, a measurement of innovation of the Polish economy will be presented. The measurement will use indicators that were described in three different reports of the Central Statistical Office. In the next part, the innovation level of all the EU member states will be described and the innovation level of the Polish economy will be compared with the innovation level of the EU member states’ economies, such as: Sweden (SE), the Czech republic (CZ), Slovenia (SI) Lithuania (LT) and the European Union. The analysis will be made on the basis of data from European Innovation Scoreboard 2017 (EIS).

  • Charting a New Path for Poland Or Turning Its Back on More Than a Quarter Century of Progress? Archives of Business Research, 5(2), 20-30
    Archives of Business Research – Vol.5, No.2 Publication Date: February. 25, 2017 DOI: 10.14738/abr.52.2699. Hunter, R. J. (2017). Charting a New Path for Poland or Turning Its Back On More Than a Quarter Century of Progress? Archives of Business Research, 5(2), 20-30 Charting a New Path for Poland or Turning Its Back On More Than a Quarter Century of Progress? Richard J. Hunter, Jr. Professor of Legal Studies Seton Hall University ABSTRACT The paper analyzes the Morawiecki Plan for the Polish economy in light of its emphasis on encouraging domestic, rather than foreign, development in Poland. It discusses the critique of the current government relating to foreign ownership of assets in Poland and what the government intends to do about reversing this trend from both historical and practical perspectives. The paper includes both positive and negative assessments of these proposed changes in policy and emphasis. KEYWORDS: Balcerowicz Plan; Foreign Direct Investment; Incentives; Morawiecki Plan INTRODUCTION From the perspective of nearly twenty-eight years, it is now possible to state with certainty that despite a “propaganda of success” trumpeted by adherents to the former system of central planning (also called the command-rationing method or CRM), the economy of Poland had literally imploded by 1988-1989 because of a combination of four interrelated factors, which Hunter and Ryan (2006) have termed the “Grand Failures” of the communist system as it existed in Poland. These factors included: • Failure to create economic value or to improve
