LABOR PRODUCTIVITY AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN POLISH REGIONS (IN 1995–2013)

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is an attempt to define the relation between the levels of labor productivity and socio-economic development in Polish regions. In the above context, analysis and evaluation of the level of socio-economic development (based on taxonomic methods), as well as identification of empirical relation between performance (in terms of labor productivity) and the level of development of Polish regions (using Granger causality test) was performed. The results of conducted analysis indicate that the level of socio-economic development among Polish regions is very diversified, with the persistent domination of Mazowieckie voivodship and some kind of backwardness of regions from eastern Poland. The Granger causality test proved that for part of regions there was a one way casual relation from productivity to development, for other regions (mostly the least developed) there was a one way casual relation from development to productivity and for the Wielkopolskie voivodship the Granger Causality test indicated a bi-directional relationship.
