STATYSTYCZNA ANALIZA ROZWOJU REGIONALNEGO W POLSCE
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN POLAND

Summary/Abstract: Regional development is a complex economic category. The ambiguity of its measurement, which is the consequence of problems with the quantification of the test area as well as the difficulties arising from the lack or limited availability of certain empirical data, is a methodological challenge that makes scientific and public services of statistics play a huge role in the diagnosis of the problem. What proves to be extremely useful in this scope are quantitative methods, in particular the methods of multivariate statistical analysis (SAW). In the paper, by using the capabilities of public information databases GUS, a set of regional development indicators in Poland has been proposed. The region is associated with each of the sixteen existing provinces. By using selected methods SAW changes in this area in recent years in Poland has been analyzed, including the assessment of the similarity of results over time.
