The article includes analysis results of the GDP growth rate influence on unemployment rates in voivodships in years 1995–2006. Results of the study are as follows: firstly, unemployment rates increased/decreased the most quickly in these voivodships where they were prior formed on a high level, and secondly, high GDP growth rates are usually accompanied, ceteris paribus, by low increases of unemployment rates. This means, that the spatial diversification of unemployment in Poland is fairly stable, and depends on spatial diversification of the economic growth.

The purpose of the study is to describe the spatial variation of GDP per capita and unemployment rates in the Ukrainian oblasts in the years 2004—2015. The influence of GDP growth rates and unemployment rate delayed by one year on the growth of unemployment rate was examined. For this purpose, methods of panel data econometrics (regression with fixed effects) were used. The research used data published by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine. In the initial years of the analysed period, Ukraine was rapidly developing, which led to an increase in employment and a decrease in unemployment. The global financial crisis resulted in one-year recession and a rapid growth of the unemployment. After the events in the years 2013—2014 (Euromaidan) there was a decline in GDP combined with an increase in unemployment. These processes to the greatest extent were present in the oblasts of Eastern Ukraine, especially in Luhansk and Donetsk.

The aim of the research is to indicate the influence of economic determinants of interregional migration flows in Poland in the years 1999—2015. The analysis was conducted on the basis of data from the Local Data Bank of Statistics Poland using descriptive methods of migration flows differentiation analysis, wages and unemployment rates in time and space and spatial econometrics methods: the least squares method (LSM), generalised method of moments (GMM), logistic models and fixed effects models.
The conclusions of the research are as follows: migration inflows are most strongly influenced by relative wages, and outflows by the relative unemployment rate. Moreover, migrants decide to change their place of residence, taking into account a spatial factor.

The paper aims to identify the scale of spatial differentiation of GDP per capita and unemployment rate in Poland and Italy, as well as to indicate changes in the differentiation trends. The research was carried out at the level of Polish voivodships and Italian regions, forming the territorial units NUTS 2. The elementary methods of descriptive statistics and spatial econometrics (fixed effects) were applied for the research purpose. Data for the years 2002—2014, published by the CSO, Italian National Institute of Statistics (Istat) and Eurostat, were used for the analysis.
The results of the research show that Poland and Italy are characterized by a similar, high level of regional diversity of GDP per capita. On the other hand, differences in the level of unemployment among Italian regions are much higher than among Polish voivodships. It was also stated that the differences in examined macroeconomic measures within the two countries are increasing, which in turn can lead to growing inter-regional disparities in the level of development.

The subject of the article is the internal differentiation of the development of the most urbanized voivodship in Poland. The aim of the study is to assess the scale of the spatial differentiation of economic development of powiats in the Slaskie voivodship in the years 2002—2013. To achieve this, the research methods were used, as follows: a descriptive analysis of selected macroeconomic values, taxonomic analysis and clustering. The results of the analyzes tend to the formulation of two key proposals. Firstly, in the years 2002—2013 a quintile with the highest level of economic development formed the urban powiats of the Silesian agglomeration. Secondly, in the Slaskie voivodship, there were strong internal diversity in entrepreneurship and directions of its development.

The aim of the study is a statistical analysis of the impact of the so-called gravitational effect on the level of economic development of Polish poviats (districts) in the years 2002–2012. The gravitational effect of macroeconomic analysis is based on the assumption that the level of economic development of the poviat depends, i.a. of medium gravity. This factor connecting two regions is directly proportional to the product of the economic potential of these regions (measured by gross value of fixed assets per capita) and inversely proportional to the square of the geographical distance between these regions. The article describes the spatial variation of taxonomic indicators of economic development and the effects of gravity in the poviats. The paper presents the results of a statistical analysis of the impact of the gravitational effect of the diversity on economic development of the districts. The study takes into account both the effects of national (mutual poviats) and external (foreign neighbors on Polish counties economic development) gravitational interaction.

The article attempts to establish the regularity and strength of the relationship between changes in GDP and labour market situation in the EU-28. The results of the analysis tend to derive a general conclusion about the relatively strong sequential model for the relationship. It recognizes the fact rule involving the significant impact of GDP growth on both employment growth and unemployment rates on growth. This interaction is the stronger, the more stable is the economy in these countries. The study also included a number of specific proposals leading to a final conclusion.

The authors present a statistical analysis of the feature convergence and divergence processes describing the situation on the labor markets in voivodships. The analysis was conducted based on CSO data on the poviat registered unemployment rates and real gross wages. The paper discusses the theoretical aspects of the processes of α- and β-convergence and real divergence and presents an analysis of intra-regional differences in registered unemployment rates and real gross wages as well as o-process of convergence and divergence, and then estimates the parameters of ff-convergence and divergence equations of the analyzed features.

The article presents a statistical analysis of the diversification in poviat economic development of the Podkarpackie voivodship in years 2002–2008. The diversification is presented by such indicators as sold industry production, fixed assets gross value as well as investment per one inhabitant. Wages and unemployment rates are taken into account, too.

The paper is focused on determinants of the spatial diversification of labour productivity in the Polish poviats in the years 2002–2006. The poviats with the highest and lowest levels of labour productivity have been identified. It was also shown how a technical equipment of labour is different in the Polish poviats. Using the Cobb-Douglas production function the parameters of the function have been estimated which present the dependence of labour productivity in the poviats on technical equipment of labour, time trend and sector employment structures (shares of industrial and service sectors). The analyses indicate that the dependence of labour productivity on technical equipment of labour in the poviats is statistically significant. Moreover, it was proved that total factor productivity in the poviats depends on the share of the industrial sector (inversely proportional), on the share of market services (directly proportional) and on the share of non-market services (inversely proportional).

In 1956, Solow proposed a neoclassical growth model in opposition or as an alternative to Keynesian growth models. The Solow model of economic growth provided foundations for models embedded in the new theory of economic growth, known as the theory of endogenous growth, such as the renowned growth models developed by Paul M. Romer and Robert E. Lucas in the 1980s and 90s. The augmentations of the Solow model described in this book, excepting the Phelps golden rules of capital accumulation and the Mankiw-Romer-Weil and Nonneman-Vanhoudt models, were developed by the authors over the last two decades.

The book identifies six spheres of interest in modern macroeconomic theory: the impact of fiscal and monetary policy on growth; the effect of different returns to scale on production; the influence of mobility of factors of production among different countries on their development; the effect of population dynamics on growth; the periodicity of investment rates and their influence on growth; and the effect of exogenous shocks in the form of an epidemic. For each of these issues, the authors construct and analyze an appropriate growth model that focuses on the description of the specific macroeconomic problem.

This book not only continues the neoclassical tradition of thought in economics focused on quantitative economic change but also, and to a significant extent, discusses alternative approaches to certain questions of economic growth, utilizing conclusions that can be drawn from the Solow model. It is a useful tool in analyzing contemporary issues related to growth.
