The aim of the study is to determine the level and dynamics of changes in the productivity of the basic production factors in Polish agriculture for the years 1995–2015. The analysis was conducted on the basis of statistical data provided by the Central Statistical Office. Changes in the productivity of land, labour and capital were determined separately. There was a significant increase in the productivity of the basic production factors in Polish agriculture. Based on the value of commercial production as a measure, it was found that in the years 1995–2015 the land productivity has increased by 100%, labour productivity by 38% and capital productivity by 34%. The compound annual growth rates were amounted to 3.94, 2.39 and 1.34% respectively. Based on the research results one can say that technological changes in Polish agriculture are relatively land-saving and capital-intensive. The productivity growth in agriculture in the future will depend mainly on the dynamics of land concentration in larger farms and consequently increase of the production scale in agriculture.

The purpose of the research was to assess the efficiency of production factors in horticultural holdings in Poland versus other agricultural types in years 2004-2017. General characteristics of holdings of other agricultural types in Poland were presented, the productivity of labour, soil, and capital was determined. In the years 2004-2017, a nominal increase in soil productivity was recorded in holdings of all agricultural types, except for horticultural holdings and those specialising in granivores. In the studied period, horticultural holdings still had the highest land productivity, followed by holdings with permanent crops and specialising in granivores. In the years analysed, an increase in labour productivity was noted in almost all types of holdings, except for herbivorous holdings. Holdings specialising in granivores had the highest labour productivity, followed by field cultivation, horticultural and dairy holdings. On the other hand, capital productivity in the analysed period decreased in almost all types of holdings, except for horticultural holdings (nominally, while in real terms it decreased in all types). Horticultural holdings had the highest labour productivity, followed by field cultivation, and holdings specialised in granivores.

The paper described the network of Natura 2000 sites in Poland, the state of spending funds on Package 4. “Valuable habitats and endangered species of birds in Natura 2000 sites of the Agri-environmental-climate measure implemented under the RDP 2014-2020” (Package 4. of the AECM under the Rural Development Programme 2014-2020) as of 31.12.2017 and also assessed the functioning of farms belonging to beneficiaries of this package against a background of farms from outside Natura 2000 sites, which kept accounts for the Polish FADN in the years 2015-2017. It has been determined that, in Poland, the share of areas covered by the Natura 2000 network in the land area of the country is 19.6%, however, in the case of voivodeships and districts, it is varied. In addition, it has been determined that the state of spending funds under Package 4 has, so far, been PLN 518.8 million and has accounted for 29.6% of total funds spent as part of the AECM under the RDP 2014-2020. It turned out that farms belonging to beneficiaries of Package 4, against a background of other farms which kept accounts for the Polish FADN in the years 2015-2017, were characterised, inter alia, by lower production intensity and lower productivity of production factors. Moreover, those farms obtained lower income per 1 ha of UAA. Analyses have been carried out based on the data from the General Directorate for Environmental Protection, the Central Statistical Office in Warsaw, the Agency for Restructuring and Modernisation of Agriculture, the Polish Farm Accountancy Data Network (Polish FADN) and the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation National Research Institute.

The objective of the study was to assess the productivity of horticultural production factors in Poland in the years 2004- 2014. The general characteristics of horticultural holdings in Poland were determined, including the productivity of labor and capital, as well as the productivity of land per hectare of UAA. The average farm size increased by 6% on average in the period 2006-2014 and reached 6 hectares in 2014. It was found that in the horticultural farms the productivity of all factors of production in nominal terms increased. In real terms, labor productivity decreased by about 16.6%, capital productivity remained at the same level, and land productivity decreased by more than 52.3%. The production value for 1 AWU was 81,000 in 2014, for 1 ha 38 thous. zł, and for 1 zł of assets 0.38 zł. The observed tendencies of changes in factor productivity and income levels indicate that the scale of production, including farm size, is needed to grow in order to maintain the viability of farms.

The development of modern economies is inseparably connected with the phenomenon of competition and competitiveness of business entities. Issues in the field of competitiveness of economies, sectors and enterprises have become the subject of intensive analysis worldwide. In Poland, there is also an urgent need to conduct research on various aspects of competitiveness which should thoroughly diagnose the situation in this respect and indicate the development of adequate instruments of economic policy stimulating the growth of competitiveness. This article is a response to this need. The main aim of the study is to assess and compare selected aspects of competitiveness of enterprises from manufacturing divisions. Therefore, the analysis covered manufacturing enterprises (Section C) at the two-digit level of aggregation, i.e. at the level of divisions in this Section. To assess competitiveness in the years 2010-2016, the following measures were used: export/import ratio, intra-industrial trade index (IIT), sold production, labour productivity, and total factor productivity (TFP). The research proceedings were based on data published by the Central Statistical Office (Statistics Poland).

An increase in productivity in agriculture is achieved thanks to technological progress and changing the structure of production factors into more economically effective ones. The observed directions of changes include: production intensification and an increase in the capital-labour ratio. The aim of the presented research is to determine whether the level of production efficiency in vegetable farms depends on the structure of production factors involved in the farm. In this study, data from the Polish FADN for 2010-2017 were used. It was found that the productivity of inputs and profitability of production were at a similar level in each group of farms, while the profitability of work was the highest in farms with capital-intensive production techniques. It was 60% and 100% more, respectively, than in farms with land-intensive and labour-intensive techniques. On the basis of the obtained results, it can be concluded that an increase in the capital-labour ratio leads to a significant increase in labour productivity. In future, rational support for investments on farms may lead to an increase in the competitiveness of agriculture, as well as an increase in the scale of production and changes in the structure of agriculture.

The aim of the article is to assess the costs and benefits of enterprises situated in urban sprawl areas in Poland. The main hypothesis is that urban sprawl is beneficial for the businesses located within the urban sprawl area. The synthetic control method used is based on the results of surveys and financial data provided by the Central Statistical Office in Poland for the enterprises located within the urban sprawl area. The object of the research is therefore the finances of those enterprises that are based around the largest Polish cities. The main hypothesis was positively verified. The results of the investigation indicate that lower wage costs are not more significant compared to those of the economic entities in the control group. The benefits for enterprises located in the urban sprawl zone were also diagnosed, including lower burdens resulted from real-estate taxes, energy, foreign services. The added value of the research is also the indication of the financial mechanism of benefits from the location of business entities in the urban sprawl zone. This mechanism is based on the reduction of spatial costs, more efficient use of fixed assets and more intensive use of production factors.

Abstract. The aim of this article is to determine the relation between the phases of the business cycle and changes in prices of factors of construction production. The research covers the years 1994–2012. The dataset applied in the study includes yearly data on prices of the factors of construction production in Poland. All of these data were made available by the SEKOCENBUD. The implementation of the purpose of the study required, firstly, to construct the curve of the economic cycle in the Polish construction industry and, secondly, to determine indicators of changes in the prices of construction production factors and to compare them with the curve reflecting the state of the economic cycle in the construction industry. It was based on the results of a monthly economic situation test, which are published by the Central Statistical Office in Warsaw. A record increase in the prices of production factors in construction was observed during the recovery in 2006–2007. It was caused by the intensified demand for various types of construction services. The deep slump in the construction industry was accompanied by a slight reaction of changes in the prices of construction materials and equipment to the decreasing demand in 2002–2004 and 2008–2012. The results of the study allow to conclude that changes in the prices of production factors in construction are closely related to the situation in the sector, but this relationship is particularly noticeable in the growth phase of the cycle.Key words: economic cycle, building materials and labour, plot of land, real estate

Increasing processes of globalization and integration in the word economy, dynamic market changes and growing social demands cause that particular sections of the national economy and their divisions as well as enterprises operating in them, become more and more often participants of competitive activity. According to M. Porter getting competitive advantage is possible only by means of innovation activity, and the capacity of industry for innovation and increasing technological level decide about competitiveness of the whole economy. That is why in present-day economic researches it is so important to define relations between competitiveness and innovation activity of enterprises. The objective of the article is an attempt to describe quantitatively the impact of outlays on research and development and outlays on innovation on three selected characteristics defining competitiveness of manufacturing enterprises. These characteristics are: gross value added, sold production and labour productivity. In the research were used statistical data of Central Statistical Office showing amounts of particular types of outlays divided into particular manufacturing divisions (section D, the Polish Classification of Activities) in the period 1999-2008. the analysis was conducted by means of panel models, where the basic period is calendar year, and the objects are manufacturing divisions on two-digit level of aggregation.
