Tytuł	Wybrane aspekty wykorzystania teorii chaosu do wspierania decyzji finansowych
Title	Selected aspects of the use of chaos theory to support financial decisions
Słowa kluczowe	teoria chaosu, rynki kapitałowe, analiza R/S, wykładnik Hursta, wymiar fraktalny
Key words	chaos theory, capital markets, R/S analysis, Hurst exponent, fractal dimension
Abstrakt	Celem publikacji jest omówienie wybranych aspektów teorii chaosu deterministycznego, oraz prezentacja rezultatów badań dotyczących możliwości wykorzystania narzędzi chaosu deterministycznego (wymiaru fraktalnego, wykładnika Hursta) do wspierania decyzji finansowych inwestorów giełdowych na przykładzie wybranych spółek funkcjonujących na Giełdzie Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie. Decyzje finansowe dotyczące inwestowania na rynku kapitałowym są na całym świecie przedmiotem licznych badań i analiz. Wykorzystuje się w nich różne metody i narzędzia badawcze. W celu prognozowania decyzji finansowych konstruowane są rozmaite modele, które nigdy nie dają pełnej pewności sukcesu i są obarczone, zwykle ryzykiem inwestycyjnym. Jedną z nowszych koncepcji wspomagania decyzji finansowych jest teoria chaosu deterministycznego. Cechy charakterystyczne, stany nierównowagi oraz mechanizm sprzężenia zwrotnego w wymiarze czasowym, znajdują swój wyraz w opisie za pomocą dynamicznych systemów nieliniowych.
Abstract	The aim of the paper is to discuss selected aspects of the deterministic chaos theory and to present the results of research on the possibility of using deterministic chaos tools (fractal dimension, Hurst exponent) to support financial decisions of stock investors on the example of selected companies operating on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Financial decisions on investing in the capital market are the subject of numerous studies and analyzes worldwide. Various methods and research tools are used. In order to forecast financial decisions, various models are constructed that never give full assurance of success and are burdened, usually with investment risk. One of the newer concepts of financial decision support is the theory of deterministic chaos. Characteristics, imbalances and feedback mechanisms in the time dimension find their expression in the description using dynamic non-linear systems.

Tytuł	Uwarunkowania dyskusji nad kształtem Wspólnej Polityki Rolnej po 2020 roku
Title	Common Agricultural Policy Post 2020
Słowa kluczowe	Unia Europejska, Wspólna Polityka Rolna, płatności bezpośrednie, pierwszy i drugi filar WPR, reforma WPR
Key words	European Union, Common Agricultural Policy, direct payments, I and II pillar of the CAP, CAP reforms
Abstrakt	WPR UE, pomimo stałej, często ostrej, krytyki różnych środowisk, umożliwiała i nadal wspiera rozwój europejskiego rolnictwa i obszarów wiejskich. Aktualnie trwająca dyskusja nad jej kształtem po 2020 roku skłania do dokonania przeglądu stanowisk i wyrażenia własnych poglądów. W trwającej dyskusji od lat podnoszony jest pogląd o konieczności lepszego ukierunkowania WPR na skonkretyzowane cele dla uzyskania wyższej efektywności funduszy publicznych. Głównym celem opracowania jest dokonanie przeglądu ważniejszych wydarzeń, jakie miały miejsce w trakcie zainicjowanej w 2016 r. przez Komisję Europejską debaty, w tym sfinalizowanych konsultacji społecznych, na tle globalnych uwarunkowań politycznych, ekonomicznych, środowiskowych i technologicznych. Autorzy formułują hipotezę w następującym brzmieniu: Najbliższa reforma WPR choć przyniesie fundamentalne zmiany modelu wdrażania WPR, to jednak nie zapewni to jej znacznie silniejszego niż obecnie ukierunkowania na osiąganie zdefiniowanych i mierzalnych celów. Polityczny konsensus dotyczący wzmocnienia wsparcia na rzecz drobnych gospodarstw rolnych będzie kontynuowany kosztem ograniczenia wsparcia dla dużych operatorów. Oznacza to, że legitymizacja realizowanej polityki opierać się będzie głównie na społecznych i środowiskowych jej aspektach. Główną metodą badawczą jest przegląd i analiza obszernej literatury przedmiotu oraz dokumentów, analiz i ekspertyz.
Abstract	The CAP, despite strong criticisms from various expert cycles, enabled and still allows the development of European agriculture and rural areas. The current discussion about the CAP’s new architecture after 2020 stimulates a review of different positions and formulation of new views. For years, one of the key postulates has been better CAP targeting and a higher value for money. The objective of this publication is to present key developments that took place during this debate in the view of global political, economic, environmental and technological conditions. The authors formulated the following hypothesis: the coming CAP reform will bring about a fundamental change of the policy implementation model but the new CAP will not contribute to a stronger and measurable result-based orientation. The political consensus of supporting small farms will be continued at the expense of limiting support to the large farm operators. The main method used is online research, review of literature, and various analysis and documents.

Tytuł	Determinanty i perspektywy prowadzenia działalności rolniczej w małych gospodarstwach rolnych z pozarolniczą działalnością gospodarczą
Title	Determinants and Prospects of Conducting Agricultural Activities in Small Farms with Non-Agricultural Activities
Słowa kluczowe	działalność pozarolnicza, pozarolnicza gospodarka wiejska, małe gospodarstwa rolne, rolnictwo
Key words	non-agricultural activities, non-farm rural economy, small farms, agriculture
Abstrakt	Celem opracowania jest identyfikacja czynników wynikających z prowadzenia działalności pozarolniczej w małych gospodarstwach rolnych oraz zbadanie ich wpływu na prowadzoną w nich rolniczą działalność produkcyjną. Poznanie tych prawidłowości umożliwi świadome stymulowanie ze strony państwa małych gospodarstw w celu rozwijania działalności pozarolniczej, która zapewni im dodatkowe, a często wiodące źródło dochodów. Zaprezentowano wyniki własnych badań ankietowych przeprowadzonych wśród osób posiadających małe gospodarstwa rolne, prowadzących równocześnie działalność rolniczą i pozarolniczą. Wyniki badań wykazały, iż w większości przypadków prowadzona działalność pozarolnicza pozwala na bardziej efektywne wykorzystanie zasobów gospodarstwa rolnego dzięki możliwości zastosowania ich również na potrzeby prowadzenia działalności pozarolniczej. Charakter wpływu działalności pozarolniczej na działalność rolniczą zależy jednak w dużym stopniu od jej rodzaju i stopnia powiązania z gospodarstwem rolnym.
Abstract	The aim of the study is to identify factors resulting from non-agricultural activities in small farms and to examine their impact on the agricultural production carried out in these farms. Understanding these processes will help the state develop a way to encourage these small farms to develop non-agricultural activities, which will provide them with an additional, and often primary, source of income. The results of the authors’ surveys conducted among farmers possessing small farms, conducting both agricultural and non-agricultural activities, are presented. The research results showed that in most cases, non-agricultural activities can allow farm resources to be used more efficiently. However, the nature of the impact of non-agricultural activities on agricultural activities depends on the type of activities, and on their level of connection with the agricultural holding.

Title
Słowa kluczowe	marketing strategies, organic production, organic product sales, government support
Key words
Abstrakt	The article examines the state and prospects of organic production by agricultural enterprises in the Ukraine. Existing natural, climatic and soil potential for the production of organic agricultural products as well as their export and consumption in the domestic market are characterized. It was noted that the development of organic production is one of the main priorities of the agrarian sector of the Ukrainian economy. State support for the development of this type of production is being implemented, as reflected in ‘3 + 5’ as a strategy for the development of the agrarian sector of the economy for the period until 2020. Attention is drawn to the instability of the environment, insufficient development of demand and limitations of financial resources, which hinder the realization of Ukraine’s potential in this segment of the agrarian sector. The conclusion on the necessity of applying marketing strategies for promoting and marketing organic products on domestic and foreign markets is drawn. The model of forming a marketing strategy of organic production development in the Ukraine is offered.

Tytuł	ECONOMIC ACTIVITY AS ONE OF THE SMART AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT TRENDS IN RURAL TERRITORIES
Title
Słowa kluczowe	rural territories; sustainable development; economic activities
Key words
Abstrakt	Rural territory is an important part of the community’s living space, moreover, it is a living space for sustainable and smart development. With the growing public demand for a healthy living environment and healthy food, the role of rural territory as a living space for community and the necessity to maintain its sustainable development is increasing. However, the sustainability of rural territories as a living space will be preserved only when residents are ready for changes and if national institutions and local governments are promoting trends politically and practically. The aim of the research: to examine economic activity in the rural areas of Latvia with regard to promoting the sustainable and smart development direction during 2009–2016 and to assess the results achieved. An analysis of the information on entrepreneurship expansion used in the research allows making a number of conclusions. Even though Latvia has the lowest competitiveness rating among Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, at the same time, it is characterized by the highest growth rates and small distances among these countries. The reduction of these differences was significantly influenced by economic activity expansion, including the knowledge economy segment in Latvia. The growth of the economy in the rural territories surpasses the growth rates in major cities. The rural space has confirmed its suitability for the innovative functioning and growth of the economy.

Tytuł	INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF UKRAINE
Title
Słowa kluczowe	innovation, innovative development, strategy, digital economy
Key words
Abstrakt	It is determined that in economic science there is no single approach to the interpretation of the concept of ‘innovation’. It is suggested that taking into account the radical changes that are in the world economy today it is necessary to use the extended concept of innovation, which should be understood as the results of the development transformation, research, ideas and their combination into a radically new or improved technological, economic, social solution, the results of which can be applied in practice. The main indicators that determine the level of innovation development of a country or region and provide an opportunity to determine the impact on economic development are covered. The place of Ukraine in such ratings according to indicators of innovative development in 2017, 2018 and problems that cause their low level are defined. The improvement directions of the innovative development level of the country are defined and the real steps taken by the government of the country to correct the negative trends through the introduction of digital transformation of the country’s economy, the transition from raw material to high-tech production and the basis of innovative IT technologies and communications are shown.

Title
Słowa kluczowe	welfare measures, sampling methods, efficiency of estimators
Key words
Abstrakt	In this paper issue of estimation of welfare measures using survey sampling is discussed. Two strategies of sample selection were described. Precision of estimation of the measures depending on chosen sample selection was presented. First sample selection strategy that was discussed is popular simple random sampling without replacement scheme. The second is stratified random sampling. Both sample selection methods were compared with respect to precision of estimation of unknown parameter in the population. Precision of estimation is measured by variance of estimator. It is desirable that the variance of estimator is as small as possible. In such case estimation of welfare measures is the most accurate.

Tytuł	TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE IN POLAND
Title
Słowa kluczowe	aquaculture, adaptation, sustainability
Key words
Abstrakt	In the late 1980s, inland aquaculture in Poland produced about 20 and 4 thousand tonnes of carp and trout, respectively. In 2016, the total volume of the sector’s production increased to over 35 thousand tonnes, including 18 and 16 thousand tonnes of the two species and above 1 thousand tonnes of another fish. This constitutes 94% of total catches of inland fish and about 15% including sea fishing. Globally, roughly 50% of seafood supply is produced by aquaculture, and farmed fish production exceeds that of farmed beef. The EU’s Blue Growth Strategy identifies aquaculture as a sector which could boost economic growth across Europe. The key challenges in the Polish aquaculture sector is significant production growth to 49 thousand tonnes by 2020 and increasing its competitiveness by using resources more effectively, supporting the market by building distribution chains, improving the quality of products and marketing, as well as increasing contribution to environmental protection.

Tytuł	THE GREY WATERFOOTPRINT OF CATTLE GRAZING: A CASE OF STUDY FOR ITALY
Title
Słowa kluczowe	grey water footprint, cattle grazing, microbial contaminant, karst aquifer, southern Apennines, Italy
Key words
Abstrakt	Water footprint accounting has contributed to show that livestock production, and dairy production in particular, have a non-negligible impact in terms of freshwater appropriation (Palhares and Mezzopane, 2015). In this line of research, Allocca et al (2018) have contributed to the scientific debate pointing out that livestock grazing can have a substantial effect in terms of the environment-related grey water footprint (GWFenv) originating from microbial contamination. However, cattle grazing can be a source of contamination also for chemical parameters, precisely nitrate, nitrite and ammonium. Albeit the microbial impact of cattle grazing has been documented by Allocca et al. (2018), they did not take into account possible consequences of the grazing activity in terms of chemical contamination, namely nitrates. This aspect is worth to be examined, since nitrates are important parameters to be evaluated when establishing guidelines for protecting aquatic life and/or ambient water quality for recreation use.

Title
Słowa kluczowe	perception of pollution, concentration of particulate matter, cross-country comparison
Key words
Abstrakt	In this paper, starting from the approach described in Chiarini et al. (2017), who have provided a subjective measure of the environmental impact of cities (subjective EIC) at the country level, we extend the analysis comparing their indicator with the objective measure of the environmental impact of cities (objective EIC) suggested by Agenda 2030, namely mean levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10). The comparison between subjective and objective indicators of the EIC is a novelty in the panorama of the available studies, and provides useful results for policy analysis. In fact, the relative ranking of countries changes according to the metric adopted, and the analysis of association with macroeconomic indicators of development and growth reveal that subjective and objective EIC indicators might influence/be influenced by different macrofactors.

The review of documentation, being a formal basis for dealing with problems by public administration and local authorities, and the analysis of sample programmes and plan indicate that the main determinant of low carbon economy development in Poland is the state of the natural environment, particularly air quality and availability of financial support for investments, which is dependent on the possession of specific planning documents. Technological solutions are economically verified as network parity, which indicates the importance of organizational, fiscal and financial solutions.

Tytuł	LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY IN THE LIQUID BIOFUELS SECTOR IN SELECTED EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIES
Title
Słowa kluczowe	biofuels, production, turnover, job creation, labour productivity in the liquid biofuel sector
Key words
Abstrakt	The development of the liquid biofuels sector has been dynamic for more than 10 years, but from the very beginning of this process has been accompanied by a number of controversies as the production and use of liquid biofuels have both positive and negative effects. These consequences primary concern socio-economic and environmental areas. The most important economic benefits are connected with production, turnover and employment in the biofuels industry and the development of agriculture through higher demand on agricultural commodities. The aim of the paper was to quantify labour productivity in the liquid biofuels sector in European Union countries. It is hypothesized that highly developed countries (measured by GDP per capita) have higher labour productivity in the liquid biofuels industry than poorer European Union countries. The second hypothesis states that countries with high liquid biofuel production have higher labour productivity than other countries. The period under research covered the years 2009–2015. The data are mainly from Eurostat, EurObserv’ER consortium and World Bank. This research provides the general conclusion that a high level of economic development is not accompanied by high labour productivity (two types) in the liquid biofuels sector (there is no significant positive correlation). The same applies to the relation between biofuel production volume and labour productivity. The research proves that a high level of GDP per capita or the big scale of biofuel production (and use) is not a determinant of high labour productivity in this sector.

Tytuł	COMMON AGRICULTURAL POLICY AS A DETERMINANT OF TRANSFORMATION IN POLISH AGRICULTURE
Title
Słowa kluczowe	rural areas, Common Agricultural Policy, direct payments
Key words
Abstrakt	The impact assessment of the Common Agricultural Policy on transformation process of Polish agriculture following Poland’s accession to European Union has been carried out. The analysis took into account the changes of the Common Agricultural Policy in terms of goals and the directions of its evolution. In the paper the alterations in land, labour and capital resources of Polish agriculture were also analysed. It has been established that funds coming from the Community budget allowed Polish agriculture to adjust to the requirement of new environment. Integration into the European Union has created good conditions to dynamic development of the agri-food sector as a whole. Acceleration of the modernization and restructuring processes of Polish farms has taken place. These developments have resulted in a reduction in the total number of farms (by 52%) at the simultaneous rise in their average area (by 78%). Union financial measures have also influenced on generational renewal amongst farms managers. The funds considerably enhanced farmers’ incomes, which increased by 156%, thus promoting expenditure on investments. As a result the improvement of technical utilities of farms has been achieved. Consequently, labour productivity growth in Polish agriculture has also been recorded. A wide range of measures within the framework of the Common Agricultural Policy enables to overcome many obstacles of the rural areas in Poland. It also creates possibilities to take advantage of naturally occurring assets in order to effectively compete on the external market.

Title
Słowa kluczowe	impact, land conflict, agricultural production
Key words
Abstrakt	Conflict largely is and has always been part of all human endeavours, however one particular area where conflict has created problems has been land conflict where tribes owing to their beliefs and cultures feel that lands they occupy has been a heritage property that had been handed down from generation. Land remains an important natural capital for every nation and individuals, and because of this, it is not unusual that there is land conflict across the world, especially in developing nations like Ghana where a huge population depends on agriculture for their livelihood. A case of a protracted land conflict in Ghana is between the people of Nkonya. and Alavanyo. The objective of this paper was to access the impact of land conflict between the Nkonyans and Alavanyos of Ghana on agriculture production. It also professes some recommendations.

Tytuł	THE ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF SOLAR ENERGY PRODUCTION BY HOUSEHOLDS IN UKRAINE
Title
Słowa kluczowe	solar power, electricity, household electric energy, solar panels, bioeconomics
Key words
Abstrakt	In recent decades considerable attention has been paid to alternative and renewable energy. Among the alternative sources, the sun’s energy is most appealing. Therefore, the development of solar energy, in the long run, is one of the top priorities. In practice, there are numerous barriers to the growth of the solar energy market. First of all, economic: fairly high prices for solar systems and payback period; the absence of working capital from manufacturing enterprises, the absence of specific mechanisms for stimulating production in the form of subsidies, tax exemptions, preferential tariff policies, etc. Therefore, research into the development of solar energy, as a real tool for a comprehensive solution to economic and environmental problems, is becoming increasingly relevant. The paper considers the energy policy of the use of renewable energy sources in rural areas. The theoretically feasible and technically achievable potential of solar energy in the territory of Ukraine was characterized. It was noted that the sun is the most affordable supplier of energy on earth today. The use of solar radiation is expedient for the development of thermal and electric energy and is possible throughout the territory of Ukraine. The dynamics of the commissioning of solar power plants by private households was analysed. The attention is focused on the application of the ‘green’ tariff, which stimulates the increase in the number of solar projects implemented in households. A financial model of private households of choosing a solar power plant option was proposed. The problems were identified and the possibilities of using solar energy for ensuring energy independence of households and profit generation were assessed. The forecast for the development of solar energy of the period up to 2020 was made.

Title
Słowa kluczowe	renewable energy sources, economy, households
Key words
Abstrakt	The main purpose of the article is to present changes in the acquisition and use of energy from renewable sources by households in Poland. The role of this sector in total energy consumption was indicated. Changes in energy expenditure in households were also assessed. Secondary data from public statistics were used. The household sector in Poland is characterized by the highest energy consumption in the structure of final energy consumption in the national economy, and energy expenditure is an important expenditure item in the household budget.. The amount of costs related to RES investment is a significant barrier to household expenditure. However, this investment should be seen as a means of reducing the share of energy costs in the home budget in a long-term perspective.
