Non-motorised traffic plays an important and unique role in an efficient traffic system. Helping the creation of more available multimodal communities, improvements in non motorised traffic can lead to a decrease of the use of motorised vehicles and special attention should be paid to improvements in non motorised traffic which are integrated to policies of racional usage of terrain. Conventional research often underestimates and disregards the importance of walking and bicycling, which may present a problem during traffic planning and projecting. It's important to estimate the benefits and costs which improvements in non motorised traffic bring with them. That is why the paper analyzes the impact of non motorised traffic to congestion and safety of traffic, preservation of energy, decrease of pollution, health and social inclusivity of population and economic development.

Distributional Impacts

Hydrological investments, particularly irrigation dams, have multiple potential benefits for economic development. Dams also have financial, environmental, and distributional impacts that can affect their benefits and costs. This article reviews the evidence on the impact of dams on economic development, focusing on the levels and variability of agricultural productivity, and its effect on poverty, health, electricity generation, and flood control. We also review the evidence on irrigation efficiency and collective action of dam maintenance. Throughout the discussion, we highlight the empirical challenges that restrict the body of causally interpretable impact estimates and areas in which the evidence is particularly thin. We conclude with a discussion of emerging issues pertaining to the long-term sustainability of dams’ impacts and suggest directions for future research.

The Impact

The creation of adequate conditions for business activities by business environment institutions may contribute to the overall economic development by attracting new investments and expanding the existing ones. The main aim of this research was to identify the potential changes in time concerning the importance of business environment institutions and their impact on initiating and operating economic activities, and to establish whether these changes were statistically significant. The research indicates that both the representatives of various business environment institutions and the entrepreneurs found that the measures implemented by institutions during the time of this research became more significant in comparison to the period of 10 and more years before. In addition, the impact of the measures implemented by all the institutions enumerated in the questionnaire was statistically different between the two periods under investigation.

The Impact

The aim of the research presented in this article is to determine the role of new towns created in Poland within 1989—2015. The study is focused on the analysis of socio-economic development of such cities, mainly as local labour markets, with particular emphasis on the scale of people commuting to work. For the purpose of this analysis i.a. a method of taxonomic measure of development was adopted (the creation of the measure is based on the estimation of the distance to the ideal solution). The study was carried out on the basis of the Local Data Bank resources provided by the CSO, as well as own esearch and works performed by other authors. The results of conducted research showed that the impact of the new cities on the creation of socio-economic relationship increases significantly when the centre has a well-developed economic base with public services of supra-local importance, which stimulates the development of other socio-economic links, e.g. service and trade. Furthermore, the role of large urban agglomerations in the socio-economic activation of people living in new small towns was outlined.

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 Impact

Existing studies of the impact of economic development on political trust in China have two major gaps: they fail to explain how economic development contributes to the hierarchical trust pattern, and they do not pay enough attention to the underlying mechanisms. In light of cultural theory and political control theory, we propose adapting performance theory into a theory of “asymmetrical attribution of performance” to better illuminate the case of China. This adapted theory leads to dual pathway theses: expectation fulfillment and local blaming. Using a multilevel mediation model, we show that expectation fulfillment mainly upholds trust in the central government, whereas local blaming undermines trust in local governments. We also uncover a rural–urban distinction in the dual pathway, revealing that both theses are more salient among rural Chinese.

One of the main criteria for economic development is the size of the public debt and its dynamics. The article considers the impact of public debt on the financial security of Ukraine. The views of scientists on the essence of public debt and financial security of the state are substantiated. An analysis of the dynamics and structure of public debt of Ukraine for 2014-2019. It is proved that one of the main criteria for economic development is the size of public debt and its dynamics. State budget deficit, attracting and using loans to cover it have led to the formation and significant growth of public debt in Ukraine. The volume of public debt indicates an increase in the debt security of the state, which is a component of financial security. Therefore, the issue of the impact of public debt on the financial security of Ukraine is becoming increasingly relevant. The constant growth and large amounts of debt make it necessary to study it, which will have a positive impact on economic processes that will ensure the stability of the financial system and enhance its security.
