Entrepreneurial Activity in Slovakia: Selected Regional Aspects and the Role of Governmental Environment

Entrepreneurial Activity in Slovakia: Selected Regional Aspects and the Role of Governmental Environment

Author(s): Ondřej Dvouletý,Anna Pilková,Juraj Mikuš,Miroslava Rimská / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Purpose: The main aim of our study was to contribute to this increasing body of the regional entrepreneurship literature by a better understanding of the regional entrepreneurial activity in Slovakia as an example of post-communist economy. Design/methodology/approach: We exploit the existing measures of entrepreneurship from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor and Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic, and we explore the inter-regional differences in the levels of entrepreneurial activity among eight Slovak NUTS 3 regions during years 2011-2015. We also employ the multivariate regression models and empirically investigate the relationship between the business environment and entrepreneurial activity in Slovakia. Findings: The average engagement in entrepreneurship in Slovakia was during the analysed period 16-18% of the economically active population depending on the measure used. The results of multivariate regression models have shown that the overall improvement of the general business environment positively influences the levels of entrepreneurship in Slovakia. Research/practical implications: We believe that such an observation may serve as an encouragement for the further efforts invested in improving business conditions for the established and new Slovak entrepreneurs. We also encourage future researchers to study further other location factors of entrepreneurial activity such as cultural, logistic and socioeconomic variables. Future research might also address the role of entrepreneurial infrastructure and public entrepreneurship and SME policies. Originality/value: The presented study empirically contributes to the body of knowledge on the regional entrepreneurship and the conducted approach towards quantification of the entrepreneurial activity might serve as an inspiration for other scholars.

Jednostki samorządu terytorialnego w Polsce jako beneficjenci funduszy Unii Europejskiej

Jednostki samorządu terytorialnego w Polsce jako beneficjenci funduszy Unii Europejskiej

Author(s): Magdalena Wojarska / Language(s): English,Polish Publication Year: 0

Artykuł ma charakter empiryczny. Jego celem jest identyfikacja związku między absorpcją funduszy unijnych (ogółem i per capita) przez jednostki samorządu terytorialnego a osiągniętym przez nie poziomem rozwoju społeczno-ekonomicznego oraz określenie znaczenia tego źródła finansowania dla badanych jednostek. Proces analityczny był oparty na informacjach pierwotnych (zgromadzonych za pomocą kwestionariusza ankiety od 909 przedstawicieli urzędów miast i gmin) i wtórnych (pozyskanych z Banku Danych Lokalnych). Poziom rozwoju samorządów określony został za pomocą syntetycznej miary rozwoju lokalnego (MRL), a do ustalenia zależności między jej rozkładem a wielkością środków Unii Europejskich pozyskanych przez gminy posłużyły współczynniki korelacji Pearsona i rang Spearmana. Na poziomie populacji generalnej istotny statystycznie związek korelacyjny (na poziomie 0,44) pojawił się jedynie w przypadku sum ogółem. Oznaczało to, że wzrostowi miary MRL towarzyszył umiarkowany wzrost absorpcji funduszy UE i na odwrót. Znaczenie środków unijnych oceniono na podstawie wskaźnika ich udziału w dochodach ogółem budżetów gmin oraz wyników badań ankietowych. Podejście takie wykazało, że choć środki unijne stanowiły niewielki odsetek dochodów gmin (średnio 4,79%), to zdaniem respondentów istotnie przyczyniły się do rozwoju badanych samorządów (W = 0,89). Ponadto możliwość aplikowania o fundusze miała znaczący wpływ na kształt planów inwestycyjnych jednostek uczestniczących w ankiecie (W = 0,88).

Wpływ funduszy w ramach regionalnych programów operacyjnych na rozwój społeczno-gospodarczy województw w Polsce

Wpływ funduszy w ramach regionalnych programów operacyjnych na rozwój społeczno-gospodarczy województw w Polsce

Author(s): Paweł Łopatka,Marcin Nowak / Language(s): English,Polish Publication Year: 0

W 2015 roku obchodzono 40. rocznicę zainicjowania przez Unię Europejską polityki spójności. Przez ten okres polityka ta ewoluowała wraz ze zmieniającymi się priorytetami działania Unii Europejskiej. Zasadniczy cel pozostał jednak niezmienny – zmniejszanie dysproporcji w rozwoju regionów. Zmiany w polityce spójności znalazły odbicie w badaniach prowadzonych przez różne grupy naukowców. Jednym z istotniejszych problemów podejmowanych w literaturze jest określenie wpływu funduszy na rozwój społeczno-gospodarczy. W artykule, wykorzystując teorię systemów szarych, zbadano, jaki wpływ wywierają fundusze w ramach regionalnych programów operacyjnych na wybrane zmienne charakteryzujące rozwój społeczno-gospodarczy. Badaniem objęto wszystkie województwa w Polsce. Analiza obejmowała lata 2007–2013. W tej perspektywie finansowej Polska otrzymała około 20% wszystkich środków przeznaczonych na politykę spójności (łącznie liczącej około 308 mln euro). Wyniki analiz przeprowadzonych w pracy mają charakter praktyczny i mogą być wykorzystane na potrzeby odpowiedniego kształtowania dystrybucji środków pochodzących z Unii Europejskiej.

Wpływ funduszy Unii Europejskiej na rozwój gospodarczy województwa lubelskiego

Wpływ funduszy Unii Europejskiej na rozwój gospodarczy województwa lubelskiego

Author(s): Joanna Szafran / Language(s): English,Polish Publication Year: 0

Od akcesji Polski do Unii Europejskiej dystans w poziomie rozwoju gospodarczego mierzony wskaźnikiem PKB na 1 mieszkańca ulega zmniejszeniu, jednak w regionach procesy konwergencji przebiegają wolniej. W województwie lubelskim proces „doganiania” następuje z niższego poziomu rozwoju, wynikającego m.in. z niekorzystnej struktury gospodarki, niskiej urbanizacji, słabej przedsiębiorczości i wyposażenia w infrastrukturę. Przynależność Lubelszczyzny do najsłabiej rozwiniętych regionów nie przełożyła się w latach 2004–2006 na większe fundusze pomocowe mimo stosunkowo dużej aktywności beneficjentów w programach operacyjnych. Niższy udział lubelskiego w krajowych programach ma zrekompensować program skierowany do Polski Wschodniej i wzrost wsparcia przeznaczonego na programy regionalne. Celem artykułu jest analiza kierunków alokacji funduszy polityki spójności Unii Europejskiej oraz ocena efektów w zakresie pobudzania rozwoju gospodarki Lubelszczyzny przez niwelowanie luki w infrastrukturze technicznej (transportowej, wodociągowej, kanalizacyjno-ściekowej i gazowej) oraz stymulowanie przedsiębiorczości. Fundusze UE są obecnie najważniejszym źródłem finansowania zarówno największych projektów, jak i lokalnej infrastruktury oraz mobilizacji kapitału na rozwój MŚP.

Polish pension system: 1989–2012

Polish pension system: 1989–2012

Author(s): Joanna Ratajczak / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The reform of the pension system took place during the second wave of reforms in Poland after the thorough transformation of the political and economic system. Poland belongs to the Central and Eastern European group of countries, which (following Hungary) introduced the paradigmatic pension reform which is funded by an obligatory system. Over 20 years after the political transformation and 12 years after the paradigmatic reform of the 1999, a question arose about the main problems and challenges as well as political answers reflected in the (re)designing of the pension system in Poland. This is the main purpose of this article. The text is structured as follows: first, the ten year path towards the paradigmatic 1999 reform will be outlined. This is the starting point for a brief description of key parameters of the old and the new pension system. Since reasons for the pension reform of 1999 and the new Polish pension scheme have been analyzed by many authors, the focus will be on the current regulations and especially changes after the 1999 reform, which are the subject of description in section three. Finally, the main directions of evolution of the pension system in Poland after the paradigmatic reform will be identified.

Long-term care for the elderly in Poland

Long-term care for the elderly in Poland

Author(s): Paweł Łuczak / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The paper is organized as follows. The first section starts by setting out the outline of the context of long-term care (LTC) utilization in Poland, i.e. the predominance of informal care. The next part of the paper draws on collected data, presents policies concerning LTC in Poland. Data on social policies on LTC in Poland were compiled from figures given by national bodies, predominantly the Central Statistical Office and the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy. Due to limited space, only the main aspects of these social policies are considered. For example, the paper does analyze those policies directed at supporting family carers, which are in fact, very modest. The next section focuses on the various policy options that Polish authorities may wish to pursue in their attempts to ameliorate the problems associated with publicly financed LTC services. The final section concludes.

Как миграцията се отразява върху новата многогодишна финансова рамка Съюзи в рамките на Европейския съюз

Author(s): Atanas Pavlov / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

This analysis provides an assessment of some of the most important elements of the EC proposal for new 2021-2027 MFF and new system of own resources, mainly focusing on the issues regarding migration and their impact. Also, the analysis provides an overview and comparison between the new MFF and the current one. For the expenditure side of the EU budget, the European Commission has proposed a long-term budget of €1,135 billion in commitments (expressed in 2018 prices) over the period from 2021 to 2027, equivalent to 1.11% of the EU27's gross national income (GNI). This level of commitments translates into €1,105 billion (or 1.08% of GNI) in payments (in 2018 prices). Superficially, this amounts to an increase on the 2014-2020 MFF, which is an estimated 1.02% of EU-28 GNI (commitments), but a number of factors make comparisons difficult. On the revenue side of the EU budget, the Commission has taken the political opportunity presented by Brexit to propose a gradual phasing-out of most of the correction mechanisms that discount certain Member States' contributions to the EU budget. The proposal for a new own resources decision also takes up the recommendation of the High-Level Group on Own Resources to introduce new own resources explicitly linked to EU policies.

Основни фактори, обуславящи разходването на средства от бюджета на Европейския съюз за постигане на целите на Съюза

Author(s): Hristo Draganov / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The European Union pursues common policies through its institutions in order to attain the Union's objectives. The main financial instrument that provides the conduction of the common policies is the European Union budget. The use of this instrument is subjected to the fulfillment of various conditions. The basic factors determining the European Union budget expenditure could be grouped into as law factors, financial and economic factors, political factors. Many of the factors are aimed at ensuring financial stability and proper use of the European Union budget but their multitude makes them practically difficult to apply. The diversity of the (non-exhaustively) presented factors could be considered also as source of problems emerging in the practice of the European Union budgetary process.

Влияние на политиката на ЕС за опазване на околната среда върху динамиката на БВП и бюджетното салдо в България

Author(s): Stoyan Neytchev / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

This report presents a brief overview and analysis on the impact of the EU environmental policy on several major economic indicators in Bulgaria, in particular – GDP and budget balance dynamics. Apart from the direct effects on these parameters, the implementation of the EU environmental policy in the country results in additional effects which practical examination would help us to prove that the positive effects from the environmental policy are not limited to the indicators observed in this report only. The author systematically analysed the impact of the funds provided by the European budget on certain fundamental economic indicators. Apart from the above-mentioned, research expands to systematic comparative analysis on member state budget positions regarding their individual contribution to the EU budget versus the amount of money allocated to them by the budget (i.e., their fiscal position of a net beneficent or net donor to the EU budget).
