Badanie omawiane w artykule dotyczy dochodów i wydatków gospodarstw domowych, w szczególności wydatków na konsumpcję. Celem badania jest identyfikacja gospodarstw domowych z wysokim udziałem wydatków na zdrowie, a także poznanie ich profilu ekonomicznego i społeczno-demograficznego oraz wzorca konsumpcji. Okres badawczy objął wybrane lata z okresu 2000–2019 (2020 w przypadku wydatków konsumpcyjnych). Obliczenia wykonano na danych indywidualnych pochodzących z badania budżetów gospodarstw domowych przeprowadzanego przez GUS. W analizach zastosowano różne miary statystyczne, w tym pozycyjne i klasyczne miary położenia, oraz autorski miernik pozwalający zidentyfikować gospodarstwa domowe z wysokim udziałem wydatków na zdrowie. Przyjęto, że są to gospodarstwa, w których udział wydatków na zdrowie stanowi co najmniej 10% dochodu rozporządzalnego i nie mniej niż 25% wydatków na konsumpcję z wyłączeniem żywności, a dochód rozporządzalny nie przekracza mediany dochodu dla ogółu badanych gospodarstw. Z badania wynika, że w latach 2000–2019 ok. 3% gospodarstw domowych w Polsce charakteryzowało się wysokim udziałem wydatków na zdrowie. Obserwowano w nich wzorzec konsumpcji ubogiej, co oznacza, że wysokość wydatków na konsumpcję pozwalała tym gospodarstwom na zaspokojenie potrzeb bytowo-konsumpcyjnych na poziomie minimum socjalnego. Gospodarstwa domowe z wysokim udziałem wydatków na zdrowie były tworzone przede wszystkim przez osoby starsze (po 70. roku życia), z niskim wykształceniem, mieszkające na wsi. Składały się przeważnie z jednej osoby lub dwóch osób, w mniej więcej połowie przypadków pozostających w związku małżeńskim.

The aim of the research is to present the differentiation of expenditure on insurance in various types of Polish households. Research material consisted of data from surveys of household budgets conducted by Statistics Poland in the years 2004 and 2014. Correlation and variance analysis were used to determine the dependence of insurance expenditure on: disposable income per capita, household size, education, age and sex of the head of the household, household socio-economic group and class of the place of residence. The factors which had the greatest impact on insurance expenditure were disposable income per capita and education of the head of the household.

The aim of the study is to isolate groups of rural households with similar outgoings and to describe them by socio-demographic and economic characteristics. It was carried out using multivariate statistical methods such as k-means cluster and discriminant function analysis. Data from the CSO survey of household budgets for the years 2004 and 2012 were used for the research purpose. The research resulted in the division of rural households into four groups considering the outgoings, where one group covered more than 2/3 of the households. Variables which discriminated the membership of rural households to certain groups to the largest extent were the number of people in the household and disposable income per capita.

The purpose of this article is to indicate the hierarchy of factors determining consumption in households of people aged 70 and more. Material consisted of data from a study of household budgets survey for 2012. The present study used the method of canonical correlation analysis. The most important determinants of expenditure in households of people aged 70 and more have proven to be disposable income per capita and the size of the household. More spending on alcoholic beverages and tobacco products were characterized by households in which the head of the household was a man. In households located in rural areas and run by people with primary education reported less spending on services such as communications, recreation and culture.

The aim of the study is to show the level and the share of expenditure on alcoholic beverages, tobacco and drugs in European households, with particular emphasis on Polish households. Data of the CSO and Eurostat were used for the analysis. Research methods used in the study are: Ward cluster analysis, correlation relationship. The biggest expenditures on stimulants in the household budget were observed in the Czech Republic and Estonia. In Poland were noted a relatively low level of spending, a relatively high share in the structure of expenditure and the positive rate of change in the years 1995——2012. The variables having the greatest relationship with expenditure on alcoholic beverages, tobacco and drugs were disposable income per capita, as well as household size and a stage of development of the family.

Inwestowanie w dobra i usługi związane z kształceniem mogą przynieść wymierne efekty społeczne. W artykule skupiono się na analizie cech determinujących wydatki na rozwój intelektualny członków rodziny w wiejskich gospodarstwach domowych oraz dokonano porównania poziomu wydatków na kształcenie w zależności od miejsca lokalizacji, tj. uwzględniono gospodarstwa domowe zlokalizowane w największych miastach oraz gospodarstwa domowe zlokalizowane na wsiach. Wydaje się, że mimo licznych przeobrażeń polskiej wsi nadal utrzymują się znaczne różnice w modelach konsumpcji, także w odniesieniu do wydatków na kształcenie, między gospodarstwami domowymi z miast i ze wsi.

The purpose of the article is to present the diversity of spending on culture and recreation, and their share in total expenditure in European households, with particular attention paid to the Polish place in international comparisons. The use of cluster analysis allowed to divide the European countries due to expenditure on recreation and culture. There are very large differences in this respect in Europe. In most European countries during the economic crisis, however, a stabilization or slow down of such spending was observed.

This paper presents an analysis of activity of enterprises in registering industrial designs and trademarks in Poland comparing to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. It was found that Poland's most activity in this field was observed in the 90's of the last century. In Central and Eastern Europe the most active in registering industrial designs and trademarks per million population were Estonia and Latvia, while the lowest was observed in Slovakia and Hungary.

This article presents the activity in the reporting and recording of inventions and utility models in Poland and other countries of Central and Eastern Europe in the years 1980—2011. Data bases of GUS (the CSO of Poland) and the World Intellectual Property Organization were data source of the study. The most active countries in Central and Eastern Europe in terms of patent applications were Slovenia and Estonia. On the other hand, in terms of registration of utility models stand out Estonia, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, while the least active in this area were Bulgaria, Slovenia and Romania. Polish activity in this area was average.

This article aims to analyze spending on R&D activities and the number of patent applications to the European Patent Office. The study groupings similar to each other European countries in terms of spending on these activities and the number of patent applications. The cluster analysis with the Ward method was used to the country grouping.

E-government means a common citizens and businesses access to government services through telecommunications media, including the Internet. The purpose of the article is to point the degree of utilization of e-government services by businesses in Poland and other European countries. The most similar countries for Polish in the degree of use of e-government services by businesses were Spain, Portugal and Belgium. Based on the results, it was found that intensive activity should be carried out to break the barriers to electronic business contacts with the administration.

This paper analyzes the level of innovation expenditures and R&D fund sources in selected countries of the world in the period of 2000 – 2010. The issues presented indicate significant differences between the discussed countries with respect to the factors analyzed. The European countries at the top were apparently Finland, Denmark and Sweden. High R&D expenditures, with a significant share in business enterprise sector, and a large number of patent applications reflected on the strong economic growth in these countries. The level of R&D investments in these countries was sometimes greater than in the USA or Japan. Dynamic growth in both R&D and patent activity has also been observed in South Korea. Special attention has been paid in this paper to the new European Union members – Central Eastern European Countries. Among this group of countries Slovenia definitely had the highest position, where R&D expenditures were the largest and the structure of R&D funds by source reflected a businessdominance type. Estonia, Czech Republic and Hungary were the countries 'catching up' – where growth in R&D expenditures has been observed as well as better dynamics of growth and higher patent activity. Romania, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Latvia had relatively disadvantageous situations in respect of R&D development and the innovative activity of business enterprises. ; Celem artykułu była analiza poziomu i struktury finansowania działalności badawczo-rozwojowej w wybranych krajach oraz skonfrontowanie tych wskaźników z aktywnością patentową i innowacyjnością przedsiębiorstw. Okres badawczy stanowiły lata 2000-2010. Do zobrazowania podobieństw i różnic w nakładach na działalność B+R pomiędzy analizowanymi krajami zastosowano analizę skupień metodą Warda. Poziom finansowania działalności B+R polaryzuje Europę. Kraje Europy Północnej i Europy Zachodniej charakteryzują większe nakłady na B+R i większy udział przedsiębiorców w finansowaniu tych działań. Kraje będące w czołówce to Finlandia, Dania i Szwecja. Korzystne wyniki osiągają też Niemcy i Austriacy. Rumunia, Bułgaria, Litwa, Polska, Słowacja, Łotwa i Węgry to kraje z relatywnie niekorzystną sytuacją w zakresie rozwoju działalności B+R i innowacyjności podmiotów gospodarczych. Spośród krajów wschodniego regionu zdecydowanie wyższe pozycje w tym kontekście zajmuje Słowenia. Realizacja celów polityki UE w wielu krajach jest jeszcze odległa. Dalsze analizy powinny koncentrować się na znalezieniu optymalnego poziomu inwestycji w B + R w różnych sektorach.
