The aim of the research was to assess the changes in relations between factors of production and their effectiveness in horticultural holdings depending on their economic size in Poland in the years 2010-2018. The general characteristics of FADN horticultural holdings in Poland have been presented, followed by a description of the capital-labor ratio and the capital-land ratio and land resources per work unit, that is, the basic correlations between factors of production. Productivity of work, land and capital measured by gross added value was determined. On the basis of research, it was found that the resources of production factors increased along with the economic size of horticultural holdings. In the examined period, land resources decreased (apart from the biggest farms), labor expenditures were reduced, while capital resources increased. Increase in capital value, accompanied by a reduction in land and labor resources, resulted in enhancing the capital-labor ratio and capital-land ratio. In general, as economic size increased, so did the productivity of factors of production. The highest productivity of labor, land and capital was recorded in the biggest holdings. In the examined period, in all classes of economic size, an increase in labor and land productivity was observed (with the exception of the largest holdings), as well as a decrease in capital productivity (in all classes). Deterioration of capital productivity of horticultural holdings was due to a greater increase in capital value in comparison with gross added value. In the examined period, productivity of factors of production decreased in the largest holdings (economic class 5), despite the achievement of the highest productivity of factors of production in comparison with other classes.

To identify the determinants of labor productivity, correlation between labor productivity and various indicators were evaluated, reflecting the influence of a wide range of socio-economic and innovative factors in the regions of Russia for 2015-2018. It has been established that many indicators characterizing socio-economic and innovative factors do not have a significant relationship with labor productivity and are multicollenarity (they have correlation relationships among themselves). For each year, according to statistics from the regions of the Central Federal District of Russia, econometric models constructed in the form of a well-known standard internal linear function - an analogue of the Cobb-Douglas production function. The obtained models testify to a positive impact on the labor productivity of the capital-labor ratio, the level of export, the level of income distribution inequality, the number of workers engaged in research and development, which indicates the contribution of science to the spread of new technological structures in the economy. A significant positive effect on labor productivity of income inequality testifies to the action in the country of economic mechanisms operating in developed countries.

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.

On the basis of models of production functions with an explanation level of 80-90%, built using cross-sectional data for the regions of the country, partial values of the coefficients of elasticity of labor productivity by production factors were obtained. Partial (regional) values of the coefficients of elasticity of labor productivity are calculated using the particular regression equations of models of production functions. The factors included the capital-labor ratio, wages, the price index of industrial goods, the coefficient of funds (an indicator of income inequality), the share of exports in the gross regional product. The regions are identified in which these factors have the maximum and minimum impact on labor productivity.

The objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of the use of production factors on farms of the Visegrad Group countries. The research covered farms participating in the European system for collecting accounting data from FADN (Farm Accountancy Data Network) farms. Under the main objective, an assessment was made of the productivity and profitability of land, labour and capital. The research period covered the years 2014-2017. Based on the analyses that was conducted, it was found that the most effective use of land resources was on farms in Hungary and Poland, and the least effective in Slovakia. Considering labour and capital productivity, the highest results were achieved by farms in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, while the lowest by Polish farms. On the other hand, Hungarian farms were characterized by the highest profitability of labour and return on assets, where the analysed indicators were higher than the EU average.

Extensive cocoa plantations in Southeast Sulawesi at 2013 were approximately 245 624 ha, which consists of 177 996 ha of productive plants, 38.970 ha and 28.658 ha unproductive unproductive plants. Cocoa productivity in Southeast Sulawesi as a whole is 0.754 t/ha. The low productivity of cocoa was due to several factors, namely: the use of random seed, still high PBK pest attack, low levels of cultivation technology, as well as the age old cocoa plants. The study was conducted in March - June 2014 Andomesinggu village, district. Besulutu, Konawe. The study results showed that the average productivity of the cocoa plant side grafting 2-3 years amounted to 380 kg/ha, profit of Rp. 7.160.900, -. with the value of RC ratio  of 4.22, meaning farming in the district Konawe economically feasible to be developed. Variables land area is very significant in improving cocoa production and is positive. Similarly, production factors KCl fertilizer, organic fertilizer real berpengatuh to increase cocoa production. While the factors of production of NPK fertilizer, Urea, ZA and pesticides did not significantly decline in production (negative values).

Of the major factors of production, land is considered the most important. Land is such a valuable resources that the desire to acquire it has been a cause of struggle among the people virtually in all hitherto existing human societies. Land acquisition is influenced by numerous factors in which all play relevant roles in understanding the dynamics of land and its utilization among the people in the society. In Africa, foreign land acquisition has become a topical issue because of the richness of the African land resources, and the scamper for these resources has been a source of concern for many observers. This chapter analyzes the factors inhibiting foreign land acquisition in a developing country like Nigeria and examines the challenges posed by such practices to the attainment of sustainable development.

It is shown, using a vintage model of education which is developed in this paper, that given the assumptions of the model, the optimal path of investment in education is to keep the level of investment per student constant and the optimal path of investment in physical capital is to keep the capital-labor ratio constant over time. The pressure to reduce current consumption caused by population ageing is partly mitigated by the fact that a younger population, in the current time, is relatively more efficient in producing utility than an older one, in the future.

The paper aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of substituting a stream of capital for human labour in commodity farms in Poland depending on their production potential. The studies were based on unit data from the monitoring of the Polish FADN from 2016, using the Cobb-Douglas agricultural production function method. Using the relationship between agricultural farm production and production factors (workload, cropland area and stream of capital) as the basis for determining isoquant equations and marginal rates of substitution, the effectiveness of substitution was evaluated for two groups of farms: classified as small and medium large farms in terms of economic size. The most effective factor affecting production on the farms was capital. Studies showed that in both analyzed groups of farms substituting capital for human labour was advantageous. However, substitution turned out more profitable in the group of small farms in comparison to farms having a higher production potential.
