The second strand analysed from the theoretical perspective concerns the implications for the concept of competitiveness of the new challenges that have emerged in the turbulent times of the pandemic, i.e. how to increase resilience in times of crisis and the adaptive ability of economies. The second part of the monograph (Chapters 3-7) analyses the competitive ability of the Polish economy, focusing on factors describing the size, structure, and use of production resources, institutions, etc. The third part, which comprises Chapters 9-11, aims to determine the competitive position (output competitiveness) of the Polish economy, which shows the attained welfare level reflected by the level of national income, the efficiency of use of production factors, or position in foreign trade. The monograph ends with final conclusions and economic policy recommendations arising from the research, which relate to building sustainable competitiveness and resilience of the Polish economy to external shocks.
What determines convergence in innovation capacity? A literature review

A common “one size fits all” prevention policy may not be effective in reducing cancer morbidity and mortality. The goal of this paper is to show that EU member states are not homogenous in terms of their exposure to risk factors for cancer (i.e., lifestyle, socio-economic status (SES), air pollution, and vaccination). Data from a variety of sources including Eurostat, the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, the European Health Interview Survey, Eurobarometer, and the European Environment Agency were merged across years 2013–2015 and used to develop a cluster analysis. This work identified four patterns of cancer prevention behaviors in the EU thus making it possible to group EU members states into four distinct country clusters including: sports-engaged countries, tobacco and pollutant exposed nations, unhealthy lifestyle countries, and a sti...
Brexit and Innovation: Focus on Research and Development in the UK
Brexit and the Consequences for International Competitiveness, 2018

The British innovation system is highly internationalised compared with its counterparts in other EU member states. The involvement of UK researchers in European research projects financed through EU framework programmes has increased in recent years, and the country receives more from the EU’s R&D budget than it contributes. The main objective of this chapter is to identify how the UK’s position will change after Brexit in terms of participation in EU-funded research and innovation programmes. The chapter shows that the impact of Brexit on research and innovation in the UK depends on the model of the country’s future relationship with the EU. The most probable scenario for UK–EU research collaboration post-Brexit is that the UK will become a partially associated country. Such a status will mean that the UK will contribute to EU framework programmes based on GDP and population, but will have no role in developing EU research and innovation policy and no influence on funding topics.

The Role of Foreign Direct Investment

Even though capital inflows to transition economies slowed down in the late 1990s, annual foreign direct investment (FDI) averaged around 5% of the GDP between 2000 and 2005. This volume explores the nature, determinants and growth effects of FDI inflows to transition countries. It comprises two chapters, providing the theory and evidence of FDI performance in host transition economies. The first chapter deals with the macroeconomic impact of FDI on productivity and growth. The authors challenge the widespread view that FDI has a positive effect on living standards in the host economies. In fact, in a country with a relatively large amount of external trade, the terms of trade ratio will lead to a change in the standard of living to a far greater extent than in the case of productivity (S.H. Hanke). Furthermore, FDI inflows do not always lead to positive spillover e...
Innowacje a koncepcja zrównoważonej konkurencyjności – przypadek Polski
Achieving competitiveness through innovations - a challenge for Poland and other new EU member states

It tries to consider the various variables that influence the implementation of innovative approaches in market economies, paying at the same time some attention to the barriers that prevent, inhibit or slow down further progress. Among other issues, the book discusses the « new Lisbon strategy and provides an analysis of the means to implement innovation policy and enhance competitiveness in the European Union and in the new EU States. Moreover, it compares how technological development and international competitiveness influence the 'old' and 'new' EU Member States, also critically analysing Poland's competitive position in the enlarged EU and considering its attractiveness for foreign investors from an income tax perspective. Due to its international scope, this publication is of special interest to educators, scientists and re...
Economic and Technological Dimensions of National Innovation Systems

Indeed, the establishment and development of support systems of innovation is fundamental in order to achieve the goals of the Lisbon Declaration, in which the EU states that it aims at becoming the world's most knowledgeable and thus the world's most competitive region by 2010. This book, which is the result of a specialist workshop co-organised by Tu Tech Innovation (Hamburg, Germany) and the Warsaw School of Economics held in Warsaw (Poland) in early 2005, looks at the subject matter of innovation in Europe under a number of perspectives. It is aimed at contributing to the debate on the implementation of innovation policies and actions plans in Europe, by undertaking two main tasks. The first is to take an overall look at the state of the art of innovation in Europe. More specifically, by providing an overview of the implications of national inn...

Many cancer deaths are preventable through the modification of cancer risk behaviours. This study explores the multidisciplinary connection between lifestyle, environment and socio-economic status (SES). Cluster analyses indicate that major metropolitan areas and large industrial regions differ significantly in terms of SES, lifestyle and environment when compared with other parts of Poland. Our findings show that in order for interventions to be effective, cancer-prevention policy should be addressed on both local and national scales. While anti-cancer policies in Poland’s industrial regions should focus on air pollution, the country’s northern regions should aim to curb smoking, increase sports activity and improve SES. Policy interventions must target the root causes of cancer in each region of Poland and must account for SES.
Research and Development Policy, Innovation Policy, and Industrial Policy: An Interface
Contributions to Economics, 2016

However, the connection between economics and policies with respect to science, technology, and innovation is neither simple nor straightforward. This is due to the fact that the development of science and technology has many dimensions, and its impact on society refers to more than just economic results. This has some implications for innovation policy, as its regulations cannot be based solely on economic rules, but should also include some social, cultural and psychological aspects.
