Konwergencja gospodarcza w Polsce w ujęciu sektorowym
Economic convergence in Poland by sector

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the study of economic convergence of the Polish voivodships by sector, and is an example of the use of nonparametric methods. As a basic tool used to apply for the convergence of nonparametric method of DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis), which enriched nuclear estimation method, proposed by Quah, involving the analysis of the distribution of labor productivity and its changes over time. Its use in conjunction with the DEA allowed to present the evolution of the distribution of labor productivity in the voivodships in the coming years. Moreover, based on the results of the Malmquist decomposition index, analysis was carried out of alternative distributions of the variable, taking into account the impact of the individual components of the index on changing its distribution. The study shows the main sources of economic convergence (divergence) in agriculture, industry and services sectors.
