Abstract The article examines the impact of environmental quality on shaping the development policy of Polish voivodeships. The main analytical tool used was the synthetic index of environmental quality, compiled by means of the Perkal method. It was constructed in order to organize Polish voivodeships in terms of environmental quality, which was determined in a comprehensive way on the basis of three thematic areas: advantages of the natural environment, the level of pollution (degradation) of the environment as well as active protective activities. The obtained values of synthetic measures were then compared to the level of economic growth of Polish regions. It was necessary in determining which voivodeships perceive the quality of the environment as the main factor enhancing their economic growth, and which treat it as a barrier to economic development.

Subject. The article investigates the structural parameters of the financial system, which enable to assess the quality of its structure. Objectives. We make attempts to test the hypothesis about the availability of relationship between the structure of the Russian financial system and the results of socio-economic development. Methods. To analyze the structure of the financial system of Russia, we employ the OECD international methodology and the data of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. Results. The paper presents our own interpretation of macroeconomic identical relation reflecting the factor sources of economic growth; discloses the significance of capital as a financial parameter, which is subject to transformation under the influence of advanced digital technologies; includes the coefficients, which we developed for a qualitative analysis of the financial system structure, taking into account the specifics of the Russian national economy. One of the said coefficients (the actual indicator of financial potential) is intended to reflect the level of financial digitalization. Conclusions. Given the current controversial opinions on the impact of the financial system’s structure on economic growth, we believe that during the further study of the issue, it is important to rely not only on international methods, but also on domestic scientific developments, like the presented coefficients 5–9.

The Impact

We study the impact of Russian regional governors’ rotation and their affiliation with private sector firms for the quality of investment climate in Russian regions. A theoretical model presented in the paper predicts that these factors taken together improve “endogenous” property rights under authoritarian regimes. This conclusion is confirmed empirically by using Russian regional data for 2002—2010; early in that period gubernatorial elections had been canceled and replaced by federal government’s appointments. This is an indication that under certain conditions government rotation is beneficial for economic development even when democracy is suppressed.

The application of the proposed indicators can be used in the formation of a balanced state socio-economic policy in the field of institutional changes in the field of labor relations and raising the retirement age.

Trade Off

In this paper it is shown that there is no support in economic theory for the suggested trade-off between jobs and the environment. Moreover, improved environmental quality may accelerate economic growth via improved health and productivity of workers, lower maintenance costs, and enhanced productivity of capital inputs. Also, empirical evidence is presented on the preference of the general public regarding environmental quality. The empirical evidence indicates that people are ready to trade part of their income for improved environmental quality.
