The literature stresses the relation between institutions and economic performance. Series of studies have demonstrated a strong link between institutional environment (measured by property right, rule of law, corruption, bureaucratic quality and other institutional variables) and economic growth and development. What is unclear whether the institutions can also explain variation in per capita income across countries, in which institutional environment is to some degree alike. This article focuses on economic development in 1996–2006 in countries, grouped according to their institutional environment quality. This article aims to analyze to what extent variation in GDP per capita across these countries can be associated with institutional environment. Positive and strong relationship between GDP per capita and institutional environment variable proves out across 153 analyzed countries sample and in sub-sample of 60 countries where institutional environment in 1996–2006 on the average was "positive". But at best only weak relationship was established in sub-sample of 93 countries where institutional environment on the average was "negative".
The subject of the article is the evaluation of social and economic development of the region in the content of the European Union. Without common approach as to evaluating progress and development based on integral indices and calculus as well as the authentic source of information, there is always room for subjectivity. Integration into the European Union accelerates the solution of the difficulties of regional policy in Lithuania. Pay attention to the regions is a constant part of the policy of European Union countries. The article analyzes the concepts of a region. There are analysed the conceptions, which differ in the nature and role of the regions, dynamism and development of regionalization processes, level of economic integration. The conceptions are the following ones: social geography, administrative-territorial, institutional, geopolitical and economic. Furthermore, the evaluation analysis of regional development level and its application in different foreign countries, prosecuted by the researchers are introduced in this article. [.]

Strongly recommended by the author that both national and local public administration bodies of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania to work on the policies in order to prevent or at least minimize the emigration and outflowing brain drain. Author strongly recommends that the sample FEZs to work on regional alliances such as clusters in order to maximize number of elements. Author strongly recommends Sillamäe Free Zone and Šiauliai Free Economic Zone to work on the future development activities concentrating on environmental issues as Liepaja Special Economic Zone already works on the topic.
Rozważania podjęte w tekście koncentrują się wokół roli instytucji w procesach rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego państw. Przedmiotem szczególnej uwagi jest jeden z wymiarów funkcjonowania instytucji, przejawiający się w rozumieniu ich jako efektywnych instrumentów redukowania dystansu rozwojowego wobec państw zachodnich. W tekście zauważono, iż w pierwszych latach po roku 1989 instytucje zniknęły z głównego nurtu ważnych debat intelektualnych. Wskazano główne źródła tego procesu: 1) popularne w latach 90. XX wieku przekonanie o globalnej konwergencji kapitalizmu oraz 2) dominującą w ówczesnej socjologii teorię modernizacji. W artykule postawiono tezę, iż instytucje wróciły do centrum debat akademickich i strategii rozwojowych z powodu splotu następujących procesów i wydarzeń: 1) szerokiej debaty poświęconej instytucjonalnym źródłom wzrostu i rozwoju zapoczątkowanej publikacjąpracy Darona Acemoglu i Jamesa Robinsona Why Nations Fail, 2) globalnego kryzysu ekonomicznego z roku 2008 zainicjowanego upadkiem amerykańskiego banku inwestycyjnego Lehman Brothers, 3) zróżnicowanym konsekwencjom kryzysu ekonomicznego, jakie można dostrzec w USA i w Europie, które ilustrują, 4) instytucjonalną różnorodność kapitalizmu. ; The paper describes the latest change in the research on social and economic development of states. This change is characterized mainly by a strong emphasis put on the role of institutions as key instruments of reducing the development gap between countries. It is argued that in the years after 1989 institutions have disappeared from mainstream academia and major intellectual debates because of: (1) the widespread belief in global convergence of capitalism and (2) the modernization theory which prevailed in the social science in the 1990s. The article indicates that institutions were once again brought into focus as a result of (1) a wider debate about the institutional sources of growth and development sparked by Acemoglu and Robinson's Why Nations Fail, (2) the beginning of the global economic crisis of 2008 triggered by the fall of American investment bank Lehman Brothers (3) diversified consequences of the economic crisis seen all over Europe and the USA which illustrate (4) the institutional varieties of capitalism.
The task that has been formulated in the article consists in showing some general regularities and tendencies in shaping the demographic and economic processes, determination of their mutual relationships and formulation — in outline — of causes of occured changes. A hypothesis has been accepted that the level of demographic development is conditioned by economic development. It's aimed then at obtaining bases to accept or reject a formulated hypothesis, on the ground of empirical research. The coefficient of concordance between levels of economic and demographic development has been used in the elaboration. The research concerns the data for the year 1976 by the voivodeships. Some conclusions appear as a result of the research. The population's development is governed by some specific rules. Obtained results do not confirm the preliminary accepted hypothesis. No concordance has been observed between economic and demographic development in voivodeships. It presumably results from the fact that changes in demographic processes are much more slower than changes in economic development, which can be steered in an undoubtedly easier way. ; Digitalizacja i deponowanie archiwalnych zeszytów RPEiS sfinansowane przez MNiSW w ramach realizacji umowy nr 541/P-DUN/2016
Higher education institutions during the recent economical, social and demographical changes have been experiencing some difficulties. The important question now is how to preserve the balance between the traditional values of higher education and an extremely dynamic environment, the ever-changing needs of society, which never fail to give new priorities for higher education institutions. The aim of the thesis – to examine the typical interaction processes and their characteristics between the expansion of the potential of higher education institutions and the of regional socio-economic development; to formulate theoretic conception of the expansion of the potential of higher education institutions in the context of social economic evolution, which could be applied in Lithuania and other European Union countries.

This thesis proposes a new theoretical conception, which allows studying, assessing and controlling the processes the expansion of the potential of higher education, while taking into account the socio-economical factors of regional development.
