Zastosowanie metod taksonomicznych i ekonometrycznych w wielowymiarowej analizie poziomu życia mieszkańców powiatów w Polsce
Application of taxonomic and econometric methods in multivariate analysis of the living standard of the population in districts in Poland

Summary/Abstract: The goal of the paper was a multi-dimensional analysis of the differences in the living standard of the population in districts in Poland. A two-staged approach was proposed. In the first stage the standard of living assessment was performed using the TOPSIS method in the positional aspect and applying the spatial Weber median. Basing on the results of stage 1, the logit ordered model was created. The model allowed specifying the importance (magnitude and direction) of some selected sustainable development factors (such as: health, housing conditions, advancement level of households, access to the job market, biodiversity) and their influence on the standard of living. The statistical data from the Central Statistical Office of Poland for 2014 were the empirical research basis. The studies con- firmed the stimulating influence of the improvement in medical care; housing conditions and the extension of town parks on the increase in the standard of living.
