Title	Economic Efficiency of Table Grape Production in Waterberg and Sekhukhune Districts, Limpopo Province, South Africa
Słowa kluczowe	efficiency, farmers, table grapes, South Africa, stochastic frontier model
Key words	efficiency, farmers, table grapes, South Africa, stochastic frontier model
Abstrakt	Table grape production plays an important role in the economy of many countries in Africa. It serves as a source of income for the people who are engaged in its production and being one of the enterprises that is labour-intensive, thereby providing employment for more people. The main purpose of this study was to analyse the economic efficiency of table grape production in Waterberg and Sekhukhune Districts of Limpopo province, South Africa. The study used primary data collected through administration of structured questionnaires on a sample of 12 farmers by employing a snowball sampling method. Analytical tools employed include descriptive statistics (such as tables and frequencies), Stochastic Frontier Model and Technical Inefficiency Model.Results from data analysis revealed that in terms of efficiency, farming experience (p<0.01), educational level (p<0.05), household size (p<0.10) and age of farmer (p<0.10) were associated with increased efficiency indicating that these factors play important roles in ensuring that resources used in the production of table grapes enhanced productivity and were not wasted. Also, technical efficiency among farmers was found to range from 0.8 to 1, with a mean of 0.89, thus implying a major possibility for improvement in production. However, the allocative efficiency was found to range from 0.47 to 1, with a mean of 0.68. This indicates that some farmers were finding it difficult to allocate their resources efficiently. Again, economic efficiency ranges from 0.56 to 1, with a mean of 0.73, an indication that most of the farmers were economically efficient. Meanwhile, some of the constraints faced by these farmers include high electricity bills and labour costs, water shortages as well as instability around land policy. The study therefore recommends capacity building of farmers through education and other skill enhancement programmes. Also, provision of incentives to encourage youth participation in farming through internship programmes is very important to increase farm productivity.

Tytuł	ROLE OF LARGER FARMS IN POLAND AND SELECTED EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIES IN 2005 AND 2016
Title
Słowa kluczowe	farms, UAA, agricultural production
Key words
Abstrakt	The rates of increase in labour costs in non-agricultural sections and prices of means of production for agriculture, which are higher than selling prices of agricultural products in countries with a market economy have resulted in a decrease in unit profitability of agricultural production. Farmers wishing to obtain a satisfactory income must increase their production scale, mainly by increasing farm area. The study covers two intentionally selected groups of countries differing with regard to economic development specified by gross domestic product (GDP) value per capita. The reason for this selection is the dependence of the farms’ economic strength on the national economy level of analysed countries. The first group of countries with a high level of this indicator (GDP) includes: Denmark, Sweden, Ireland, the Netherlands, Austria, Germany, Belgium, Great Britain and France. The second group covers – Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. Analyses covered the changes in average farm area, share of farms with an area of 30 ha of UAA or more in the total number of farms, land use, employment and standard production in 2005 and 2016. In both groups, the following increased in the analysed period: the average farm area and share of larger farms in land use and production. In the majority of analysed countries, the share of farms with an area of 100 ha or more, when it comes to production, exceeded 50%.

Tytuł	Formy zatrudnienia pracowników a koszty pracy
Title	FORMS OF EMPLOYMENT AND LABOUR COSTS
Słowa kluczowe	koszty pracy, składniki obligatoryjne i fakultatywne, formy zatrudnienia, minimalizacja kosztów pracy
Key words	labour costs, mandatory and optional components of wages, types of contracts, minimization of labour costs
Abstrakt	Koszty pracy to ogół kosztów, jakie ponosi przedsiębiorstwo w związku z zatrudnieniem pracowników. W ich skład wchodzą elementy obligatoryjne m.in. w postaci płacy minimalnej, dopłat do godzin nadliczbowych, składki na ubezpieczenie społeczne, FP i FGŚP oraz fakultatywne czyli wynagrodzenia powyżej płacy minimalnej, premie uznaniowe. Jedną z możliwości minimalizacji kosztów pracy jest stosowanie odpowiedniej formy zatrudnienia pracowników. W artykule przedstawiono możliwe formy zatrudnienia pracowników, wskazując na ich wady i zalety oraz wpływ na obciążenie pracodawcy kosztami pracy.
Abstract	The aim of the study was to determine the components of labour costs and to indicate the possibilities of limiting them by employing various forms of employment and indicating their disadvantages and advantages. Research shows that most labour costs are mandatory but the costs of hired labour vary depending on the form of employment (contract type). The highest costs are generated by permanent employment (employment contract). The most important way to allow an entrepreneur to optimize labour costs is an ordering contract. Labour costs in Poland are low in comparison with other EU countries. The average hourly cost of employment in Poland was 8.6 euros in 2016 towards 25.4 euros in the EU average. In the structure of average cost of labour, the non-wage costs (employer's social security contributions) accounted for 18.6% in Poland and 24% in the EU average

Tytuł	Koszty pracy – studium przypadku jednostki budżetowej
Title	Labour costs – case study of local government budget entity
Słowa kluczowe	przedszkole, poziom i struktura kosztów pracy, nauczyciele, pracownicy niepedagogiczni
Key words	kindergarten, labour costs level, labour costs structure, teachers, non-pedagogical staff
Abstrakt	Głównym wydatkiem jednostki budżetowej są koszty związane z zatrudnieniem pracowników, którymi w oświatowej jednostce budżetowej są nauczyciele oraz pracownicy administracji i obsługi. Podstawowym składnikiem kosztów pracy obu grup pracowników jest wynagrodzenie brutto, które jest regulowane innymi aktami prawnymi (ustawą o Karcie Nauczyciela i ustawą o pracownikach samorządowych), co powoduje różnice w ich poziomie. Celem badań było określenie poziomu i struktury kosztów pracy wynikających z zatrudnienia pracowników w jednostce budżetowej, z uwzględnieniem nauczycieli oraz pracowników niepedagogicznych. Materiał empiryczny stanowiły dane i informacje o działalności przedszkola publicznego w latach 2013-2015.
Abstract	The main expenditures of a budget entity are the costs associated with employing workers, who are teachers, administrators and servants. The basic component of the labor costs of the two groups of workers is gross remuneration, which is regulated by legal acts (Teachers’ Charter Act and the Act on Local Government Employees), which causes differences in their level. The purpose of the study was to determine the level and structure of labour costs resulting from the employment of staff in the budget entity, including teachers and non-pedagogical staff. The empirical material consisted of data and information on the activities of public kindergartens in the years 2013-2015.

Tytuł	Wielkość stada krów a koszty i dochodowość produkcji mleka
Title	IMPACT OF DAIRY HERD SIZE ON MILK PRODUCTION COSTS AND PROFIT
Słowa kluczowe	dochodowość produkcji mleka, gospodarstwa mleczne, skala produkcji
Key words	milk production profitability, dairy farms, scale of production
Abstrakt	W artykule omówiono zróżnicowanie dochodowości produkcji mleka w zależności od wielkości stada krów mlecznych. Badane gospodarstwa były wyspecjalizowanymi w produkcji mleka i należały do grupy najlepiej zarządzanych w analizowanych czterech krajach Unii Europejskiej. W opracowaniu omówiono także koszty produkcji oraz ich zmienność w latach 2006-2010. Wyniki badań wykazały, że trzy rodzaje kosztów determinują ich poziom, a mianowicie koszty pasz, koszty utrzymania maszyn i budynków wraz z amortyzacją oraz koszty czynników zewnętrznych. Badania nad opłacalnością produkcji wykazały, że jedynie dochodowość liczona na poziomie dochodu rolniczego brutto zapewniła wszystkim gospodarstwom opłacalność produkcji. Przy uwzględnieniu w kosztach produkcji amortyzacji i kosztów pracy własnej jedynie w gospodarstwach, w których wielkość stada wynosiła powyżej 300 sztuk, produkcja mleka była opłacalna.
Abstract	The paper presents the differentiation of milk production profitability and its relationship with dairy herd size. All analysed farms were specialized in dairy production and form a well-run group in four EU countries (Germany, Poland, Great Britain and Netherlands). The study includes analysis of costs of milk production and its variability in 2006-2010. On the basis of results of the executed analysis it is visible that three types of costs determine its level. This was a feed costs, maintenance of machinery, vehicles and buildings (with depreciation) and land, labour and capital inputs. In all group of farms only gross agricultural income show a profitability of dairy production. When the costs of milk production included depreciation and opportunity labour costs only large farms with herd size above 300 cows were profitable.

Key words	labour force in agricultural enterprises, labour productivity, wages ratio, return on investment in human capital, economic value-added of human capital
Abstrakt	Przedstawiono analizę kosztów i efektywności pracy w przedsiębiorstwach rolniczych o różnych formach prawnych zagospodarowania ziemi. Określono zależno- .ci w zakresie: zasobów siły roboczej, ekonomicznej i społecznej wydajności pracy, udziału kosztów pracowniczych w kosztach operacyjnych oraz ich relacji do przychodów ze sprzedaży, współczynnika wynagrodzeń, zwrotu z inwestycji w kapitał ludzki oraz ekonomicznej wartości dodanej tego kapitału.
Abstract	The paper aims analyse the costs and labour productivity in agricultural enterprises of different legal forms of land management. The lowest level of employment occurred in the leaseholders. enterprises, whereas the highest . in the owned by companies Agricultural Property Agency (APA), what resulted in the lowest labour productivity. The highest level of labour productivity was noted in the owners. enterprises. In the APA companies, the highest wages ratio was found, what illustrated the highest share of labour costs in operational costs. Differences in labour costs between the owners. enterprises and the leaseholders. enterprises were rather minimal, what suggests implementation of similar employment and wages policies. In addition, in the owners. enterprises the highest return on investment in human capital was found, whereas the lowest . in the APA companies. Moreover, it concerned also a level of value-added of human capital, where the owners. and leaseholders. enterprises dominated. Finally, enterprises buying or leasing land were characterised by more effective use of labour force, in comparison to the APA companies.

Tytuł	Macroeconomic efficiency of a small provincial public library
Title	Macroeconomic efficiency of a small provincial public library
Słowa kluczowe
Key words	public library, macroeconomic efficiency, contingent valuation
Abstrakt
Abstract	The macroeconomic efficiency of a public library in a small town near Warsaw has been calculated in the form of benefit/cost ratio. The benefits have been estimated by the method of contingent valuation of the library services and by the revealed preferences expressed by the costs of travel to and from the library as well as the costs of library deposit fees. The macroeconomic costs have been assumed equal to the microeconomic costs, except for labour costs which have been estimated as social opportunity costs of labour and therefore corrected downwards because of the persistent unemployment in town. The BCR ratio turned to be far below zero (depending on assumptions varied between 0.37 and 0.76). However only the direct benefits accruing to the library customers have been included.
