Author presents main innovation indicators in selected agglomerations and regions in Poland and Germany. These figures describe gap between regions and the state of knowledge- based economy. At present, less than 2% of Europe's wealth (GDP) is devoted to research, which compares poorly with 2.5% in the USA and more than 3% in Japan. Our goal is to approach 3% of GDP for research. This is an important...
The paper presents results of the survey on functioning of agricultural farms in the area of Kampinos National Park. A lot of hindrances and conflicts, especially of socio-economic nature, were revealed, which seems to reflect inefficient adaptation of Polish standards to EU standards. It is therefore necessary to set up a new strategy of protected area development. To this end legal, financial and...
Rural small business is developing in much more difficult conditions than economic subjects in cities. Rural entrepreneurship to smaller degree takes advantage of consultancy, training and UE help. Owners of small companies, without too big development ambitions, are more flexible than bigger companies, therefore they are less affected by the current crisis than the latter. Rural entrepreneurs and...

The paper presents the idea of the Community Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) and experiences of polish organizations in its implementation. The author shows how the benefits of the implementation of the EMAS, but also examines the barriers and difficulties in its start-up. In the EU and EEA (European Economic Area) register of EMAS (as of 31.03.2009) there were 4331 organizations and over 6896...
In this article, based on regression analysis, an attempt was made to determine the relationship between sales and leasing of agricultural land belonging to the Agricultural Property Stock of the State Treasury and the valorization of the agricultural productive area. Authors analyzed the static and dynamic level of sales prices of the agricultural land and the amount of rents generated in the West...
This paper discusses the importance of expertise in the production and economic situation of farms. Farms were analysed according to farmer education. The study was carried in the Zachodniopomorskie, Podlaskie, Dolnośląskie in 2007. The agricultural education of broiler farm owners had a clear effect on the production and economic situation of the farms. The European Broiler Index was higher in farms...
In examinations were analysed housing – preferences of candidates to students and freshmans in Agricultural University of Szczecin. Into this matter was made two inquiries: first to candidates to students and second to fresmans. The most important questions refered to height of rent, which candidates and students would like to pay for renting flat. Candidates would like to pay higher rent than students...
This paper discusses the efficiency of using production factor resources in 115 individual farms oriented towards production of live pigs, milk and market lambs and located in south-eastern Poland. The potential and structure of production factors was analysed in farms with different production profiles. The economic efficiency of the production resources used during the production process was calculated.
A subject of the paper was analysis of performance of activities on areas of unfavourable farming circumstances, what were taken during PROW realization from between 2004 and 2006 to between 2007 and 2013. Such activities had to ensure development of farms which were located on areas characterizing with difficult soil, climatic and demographic conditions. 38.1 per cent of total domestic farm land...
In the article one introduced the idea of the application of the control chart in the diagnostic process. The system of control lines was based on the selected measures of central tendency and dispersion (i.e. median and interquartile range). The panel data concerned the financial-economic ratios for the construction companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in 1999–2008.
Presented article shows a statistical analysis of touristic activity of pensioners and annuitans households. In the article were complied selected criteria: an aim of travel, type and seasonality of departures, reasons of abandonment and touristic equipment in households. The research applies for 2005 and includes domestic departures, both short-term (max 4 days) and long-term (5 day and more), and...
The Cox proportional hazard model was applied to the estimation of the HCV healing probability, including the type of the antiviral therapy. The analysis gave the answer, which kind of medicines were more effective in the battle against chosen disease. The most chances for healing have the sick, who had been treated with the PegInterferon α and Ribavirin, and the less chances – patients, who received...
The article was consecrated the bayesian modelling and forecasting on the ground the hierarchical models of time series in case missing data. The principles of bayesian modeling and forecasting were put-upon to analysis of production of electric power. In the article to building, estimation and prediction the bayesian, hierarchical models were used numerical methods Monte Carlo.
In the article there are presented results of classification researches of Polish voivodships according to the level of information and telecommunication technology use in enterprises in 2008. In researches there was used ELECTRE TRI method that is an example of multi-criteria method that supports decisions used in classification of decision variants and which is based on the exceeding relation. These...
The agricultural farms of Westpomeranian Province were divided into 8 area groups (1–5 ha, 5–10 ha, 10–15 ha, 15–20 ha, 20–30 ha, 30–50 ha, 50–200 ha and over 200 ha). For each group a dynamic optimization model with stochastic technical-economic parameters was created. The basic crop qualities units in the models were replaced by the regression functions. The describing variables of those functions...
The following study presents the empirical analysis of the numeric methods in forecasting in conditions of lack of full information. In forecasting the following methods were used: segment, two variants of curves methods, and four variants of Lagrange methods. In analysis are used the average relative forecast errors in six variants of blanks. This study is an attempt to answer a question, whether...
The article presents linear model for solving dynamic optimization problem of plants production at farm. In the model the very important issue of plants changing was taken into consideration. Plants changing helps to obtain highest crop and keeps soil in good condition. Presented optimization model was applied to real data of an average farm which takes up plants production in West Pomeranian province.
The papers present analisys of econometrical modelling of the daily retail sales of liquid fuel. There were analised one petrol station of the firm which plays important role on the fuel market. The variable was described by time series hierarchical models with two types of seasonal variations: weekly variations and 12 months ones. Additionally there were included feast-days and days before and after...
The aim of this study was to determine the efficiency of teaching activities in public universities in 2005 using the DEA method and to determine the ranking of universities. The sample included 52 public universities. Technical efficiency coefficients CRS and VRS were 0.797 and 0.859 in 2005. The following public universities were classified at the top of the ranking: Adam Mickiewicz University of...
