Tytuł	Zmiana poziomu kredytowania przedsiębiorstw w Polsce w okresie pandemii COVID-19
Title	CHANGE IN THE LEVEL OF CORPORATE LENDING IN POLAND DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Słowa kluczowe	przedsiębiorstwo, kredytowanie, interwencjonizm państwowy, COVID-19, kryzys, finanse przedsiębiorstw.
Key words	enterprise, lending, COVID-19, state interventionism, corporate finances, crisis
Abstrakt	Tematem przewodnim niniejszego opracowania jest ocena wpływu pandemii COVID-19 na kredytowanie przedsiębiorstw. Głównym celem artykułu jest analiza zmian jakościowych i ilościowych poziomu kredytowania przedsiębiorstw w Polsce. Autorzy skupiają się z jednej strony na możliwościach zaciągnięcia zobowiązań przez firmy, z drugiej zaś na zmiany zasad udzielania pożyczek przez banki na przestrzeni zmieniającej się rzeczywistości gospodarczej, obarczonej kryzysem spowodowanym przez pandemię. W poszczególnych analizach ukazano również szerszy kontekst porównawczy odwołując się do danych statystycznych przed wystąpieniem kryzysu spowodowanego wirusem. W analizowanym przypadku niepewność co do kondycji sektora MSP w okresie kryzysu zaważyła na zaostrzeniu polityki kredytowej. wzrost zapotrzebowania na finansowanie bankowe w okresie pandemii zgłaszały zarówno duże firmy, jak i mikroprzedsiębiorstwa, jednak tylko w przypadku tych pierwszych dostępność kredytów wzrosła. W związku z tym różnica między dostępnością kredytów bankowych dla sektora dużych firm i sektora MSP powiększyła się.
Abstract	The main theme undertaken in this paper is the assessment of the impact of the COVID-19pandemic on corporate lending. The main objective of the article is to analyze the qualitative andquantitative changes in the level of corporate lending in Poland. The author focuses, on the onehand, on the ability of firms to incur liabilities and, on the other hand, on the changes in banklending rules over the course of a changing economic reality burdened by the crisis caused by thepandemic. The individual analyses also show a broader comparative context by referring tostatistical data before the onset of the virus crisis. In the case under review, uncertainty about thehealth of the MSP sector during the crisis weighed on the tightening of credit policy. An increasein demand for bank financing in the pandemic period was reported by both large companies andmicro enterprises. However, only in the case of the former did the availability of loans increase.As a result, the gap between the availability of bank loans to large firms and the MSP sectorwidened.

Tytuł	Czy polskie banki są stabilne? Analiza ryzyka systemowego
Title	ARE POLISH BANKS STABLE? A SYSTEMIC RISK ANALYSIS
Słowa kluczowe	stabilność finansowa, ryzyko systemowe, model sieci
Key words	financial stability, systemic risk, network model, banking system
Abstrakt	Kryzys finansowy 2007+ ujawnił braki w reakcji decydentów politycznych na ryzyko systemowe. Okazało się, że nie tylko upadki poszczególnych banków, ale także negatywne efekty zewnętrzne wśród podmiotów mogą spowodować poważne zagrożenie dla sektora finansowego. W ciągu ostatnich 10 lat podjęto wiele międzynarodowych i krajowych inicjatyw mających na celu wzmocnienie stabilności systemu finansowego, wprowadzając perspektywę makroostrożnościową do nadzoru finansowego. Jednak ostatnie pandemie COVID19 okazały się poważnym negatywnym szokiem dla wielu gospodarek i ich sektorów finansowych. W niniejszym artykule, wykorzystując model sieciowy, staramy się przeanalizować, w jaki sposób te nieoczekiwane wydarzenia wpłynęły na polski sektor bankowy z ryzykiem systemowym. W celu analizy stabilności polskich banków opracowaliśmy formalne ramy testów warunków skrajnych oparte na modelu sieciowym, które umożliwiły identyfikację, modelowanie i pomiar ryzyka systemowego. Staraliśmy się zintegrować analizę czasu i przekrojowego charakteru ryzyka systemowego.
Abstract	The financial crisis that began in 2007 pointed out deficiencies in policy-makers’ responsesto systemic risk. It turned out that not only individual bank insolvencies but also spillovers fromnegative externalities among entities can cause serious threats to the financial sector. During thelast 10 years, many international and national initiatives were taken to strengthen the soundnessof the financial system, introducing a macroprudential perspective to financial supervision.However, the recent COVID19 pandemic resulted in a serious negative shock for many economiesand their financial sectors. In this paper, using the network model we try to analyse how theserecent unexpected developments affected the Polish banking sector with systemic risk. To analysePolish bank stability we developed a formal stress-testing framework based on the network modelthat allowed systemic risk identification, modelling and measurement. We tried to integrateanalysis of time and the cross-sectional nature of systemic risk.

Słowa kluczowe	„Program 500+”, finanse, efektywność, dzietność
Key words	“Family 500+” programme, finance, effectiveness, fertility
Abstrakt	Głównym celem artykułu było zbadanie efektów wprowadzenia programu „Rodzina 500+” w kontekście społeczno-ekonomicznym. Autorzy preferowali podejście interdyscyplinarne w badaniu konsekwencji programu. W tym celu szczególną uwagę poświęcono na weryfikację i analizę założeń, jakie stawiał sobie pomysłodawca programu. Głównym zakresem badań była dzietność, której poprawa jest kluczowym celem programu. Zestawienie tych założeń z danymi statystycznymi dało odpowiedź na pytanie, czy program jest skuteczny i spełnia swoją rolę. Do zbadania efektów programu wykorzystano dane z lat 2015-2019.Ważnym aspektem była także weryfikacja efektywności w aspekcie ekonomicznym i społecznym. Istotnym zamiarem było także przybliżenie historii programu „Rodzina 500+”, jego założeń, finansowania i zakładanej zmiany w podejściu do polityki prodemograficznej w Polsce.

Tytuł	Stabilność finansowa gmin wiejskich województwa lubelskiego w latach 2016-2020
Title	FINANCIAL STABILITY OF RURAL MUNICIPALITIES IN POLAND’S LUBLIN VOIVODESHIP IN 2016-2020
Słowa kluczowe	stabilność finansowa, gminy wiejskie, analiza wskaźnikowa, płynność finansowa
Key words	financial stability, rural municipalities, ratio analysis, financial liquidity
Abstrakt	Stabilność usług publicznych oraz sytuacja finansowa samorządów lokalnych ma istotny wpływ na rozwój gospodarczy kraju, jak również trwający od lat proces reform politycznych zmierzających do promowania wydajności jednostek sektora publicznego, ich zrównoważonych budżetów oraz stabilności finansowej. Jest to pojęcie różnie definiowane, co wynika m.in. z jego wieloaspektowości oraz braku precyzyjnie określonych miar do oceny tego zjawiska.Celem głównym pracy była ocena stabilności finansowej gmin wiejskich województwa lubelskiego w latach 2016-2020. W ramach celu głównego przeprowadzono analizę wskaźnikową oraz badania ankietowe. Artykuł powstał w oparciu o studia literatury przedmiotu, sprawozdania z wykonania budżetów badanych gmin publikowane przez Regionalną Izbę Obrachunkową w Lublinie oraz kwestionariusz ankiety.Na podstawie przeprowadzonych analiz stwierdzono że badane gminy w latach 2016-2020 odnotowały trwałość w zakresie polityki fiskalnej, stabilny poziom płynności finansowej i zadłużenia, aczkolwiek stosunkowo niski poziom samodzielności dochodowej. Kryzys w 2020 roku wywołany pandemią Covid-19 spowodował znaczny wzrost wydatków bieżących jednostek samorządu terytorialnego w porównaniu do dochodów, które były mniejsze niż planowano, aczkolwiek nie wpłynął na znaczne pogorszenie wyników finansowych badanych gmin. W opinii ankietowanych (wójtów) zdecydowana większość gmin wiejskich województwa lubelskiego była stabilna finansowo a pandemia Covid-19 na ogół nie miała istotnego wpływu na jej poziom.
Abstract	The stability of public services and the financial situation of local governments has a significant impact on a nation’s economic development. It also affects the long-standing process of political reforms aimed at promoting the efficiency of public sector units, their balanced budgets and financial stability. It is a concept defined in different ways, which is due, among other things, to its multifaceted nature and the lack of precisely defined measures to assess this phenomenon.The main objective of the paper was to assess the financial stability of rural municipalities in Poland’s Lublin voivodeship in 2016-2020. Within the framework of the main objective, ratio analysis and survey research was conducted. The paper was based on the study of literature on the subject, reports on the implementation of budgets in the studied municipalities published by the Regional Chamber of Accounts in Lublin, and a survey questionnaire.Based on the analyses, it was found that the studied municipalities in 2016-2020 recorded sustainability in terms of fiscal policy, and a stable level of financial liquidity and debt, albeit with a relatively low level of revenue independence. The crisis in 2020 caused by the Covid-19 pandemic caused a significant increase in the current expenditures of local government units compared to revenues, which were less than planned, although it did not significantly worsen thefinancial performance of the surveyed municipalities. In the opinion of the respondents (heads of rural municipalities), the vast majority of rural municipalities in the Lublin voivodeship were financially stable and the Covid-19 pandemic generally did not have a significant impact on theirlevels of stability.

Title	Implementing a Closed-Loop Economic Model in the Bioeconomy
Słowa kluczowe	biogospodarka, gospodarka w obiegu zamkniętym, biogospodarka cyrkularna, cyrkularne modele biznesowe
Key words	bioeconomy, circular economy, circular bioeconomy, circular business models
Abstrakt	Wdrażanie rozwiązań z zakresu biogospodarki cyrkularnej jest zagadnieniem złożonym. Wymaga to dobrej znajomości koncepcji, różnych procesów gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym i ich oczekiwanych skutków dla sektorów oraz łańcuchów wartości. Jednak badania nad gospodarką o obiegu zamkniętym wydają się być fragmentaryczne w różnych dyscyplinach i często istnieją różne perspektywy interpretacji tego pojęcia i powiązanych aspektów, które należy ocenić. Niniejszy artykuł zawiera przegląd literatury na temat biogospodarki i gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym w celu lepszego zrozumienia tej koncepcji, a także jej różnych wymiarów i oczekiwanych skutków. Celem artykułu jest zarysowanie koncepcji biogospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym wraz z przedstawieniem głównych uwarunkowań jej wdrażania. Przedstawiono wybrane inicjatywy polityczne na rzecz wdrażania koncepcji gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym w sektorze biogospodarki oraz modele biznesowe dedykowane dla rozwiązań biogospodarczych.
Abstract	Implementing circular bioeconomy solutions is a complex issue. It requires a good knowledge of the concepts, the different processes of the circular economy and their expected impacts on sectors and value chains. However, research on the circular economy appears to be fragmented across disciplines and there are often different perspectives on the interpretation of the concept and related aspects to be assessed. This article reviews the literature on bioeconomy and closed-loop economy to better understand the concept, as well as its different dimensions and expected impacts. The aim of the article is to outline the concept of a circular bioeconomy along with a presentation of the main considerations for its implementation. Selected policy initiatives for the implementation of the closed-loop bioeconomy concept in the bioeconomy sector and business models dedicated to bioeconomy solutions are presented.

Tytuł	EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF TAX POLICY ON THE ASSETS OF AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISE
Title
Słowa kluczowe	agricultural enterprise, tax, tax burden, tax implications, tax policy
Key words
Abstrakt	Every taxpayer is obliged to pay tax on their profits, but if taxpayers feel that the government is opaque and ineffective with their taxes, their willingness to pay taxes is reduced. At the same time, the higher the tax rate for tax subjects, the lower their interest in paying taxes. The optimal tax burden should be a burden that encourages people to work and stimulate businesses to create value. Each state seeks to maximize tax revenues as part of its tax policy, while at the same time ensuring that the tax system does not interfere with the economy or negatively affect the business environment. The state strives to maintain the most optimal state tax system and to support the market economy and competitiveness. Therefore, the state must have a tax administration that can collect taxes efficiently, and consequently, the tax system in the state should be such that the redistribution of collected taxes will be as efficient and fair as possible. The main goal of the article is to examine the dependence of tax policy on the agricultural business economy and find an effective variant of enterprise income taxation, which should have a positive impact on the business activity and competitiveness of companies in the selected sector of the economy and such taxation still would be beneficial for the state. The article will also set out some hypotheses based on the gained theoretical knowledge, as well as on the set research question.

Tytuł	Zwycięzcy i przegrani pandemii Covid-19: perspektywa globalna z uwzględnieniem gospodarki rolno-żywnościowej
Title	Winners and Losers from Covid-19 Pandemic: A Global Perspective Considering the Agri-Food Economy

Key words	Covid-19 crisis, international business, economic sectors, disease epidemics, globalization, food economy, agri-food labour force, cost-benefit distribution
Abstrakt	Światowa literatura na temat społeczno-ekonomicznych konsekwencji Covid-19 jest bogata i odnosi się do poszczególnych przedsiębiorstw i rynków, sektorów lub gałęzi gospodarki oraz gospodarek narodowych i globalnej. Niniejsze studium jest unikatowe, gdyż zawiera wszechstronne zestawienie informacji dotyczących podmiotów i sektorów gospodarki o znaczeniu globalnym lub międzynarodowym oraz grup społecznych z punktu widzenia tego, co nazywam „grą pandemiczną”, z jej określonymi implikacjami dla sektora rolno-żywnościowego. Ma ono na celu identyfikację rzeczywistych bądź potencjalnych zwycięzców i przegranych pandemii. Kategoria zwycięzców obejmuje aktorów, m.in. sektory gospodarki, w tym rolno-żywnościowy lub grupy ludzi, którzy wyjątkowo skorzystali bądź skorzystają na pandemii, wyraźnie poprawiając wyniki finansowe lub inne. Przegranymi są podmioty lub osoby, które poniosły nadzwyczajne koszty lub straty, pogorszyły wyniki lub prawdopodobnie w przyszłości staną przed takimi skutkami pandemii. Uwzględnione są również niektóre idee ekonomiczne. Artykuł powstał na podstawie przeglądu literatury naukowej i popularnej, raportów, doniesień prasowych oraz publicznie dostępnych danych, wspierających badania. Wykorzystano dedukcyjne metody wyjaśniania. Wyniki wskazują, że branża biofarmaceutyczna, wiodące korporacje technologiczne, udziałowcy międzynarodowych sieci detalicznych, globalne holdingi finansowe, podmioty dostarczające żywność i najbogatsi na świecie należą do wyjątkowo dobrze prosperujących w nowych warunkach życia i prowadzenia działalności, a tym samym można uznać ich za zwycięzców obecnego kryzysu. W odróżnieniu, ofiary zdrowotne Covid-19, sektor energetyki i transportu lotniczego oraz zatrudnieni w przetwórstwie spożywczym, fatalnie dotknięci pandemią, są egzemplifikacją przegranych. Przedstawieni zwycięzcy i pokrzywdzeni przez Covid-19 reprezentują różne sfery życia gospodarczego, jednak w mniejszym lub większym stopniu są powiązani z rolnictwem i przetwórstwem spożywczym. Badanie potwierdza, że funkcjonowanie i kondycja tych ostatnich zależą od sytuacji innych sektorów i różnych rynków oraz od zakłóceń międzynarodowych rozprzestrzenianych w warunkach otwartej gospodarki. Artykuł może zainteresować tak społeczność naukową, jak i decydentów w różnych obszarach polityki gospodarczej i społecznej.
Abstract	The worldwide literature on the socio-economic impacts of the Covid-19 is extensive, covering individual enterprises and markets, economic sectors or branches, or the national and global economy. The current study is unique as it is a comprehensive compilation of the relevant evidence regarding economic entities and sectors of global or international significance and the societal groups from an angle of so-called "pandemic game" with some implications for the agri-food economy. Its main aim is to identify the actual and potential winners and losers of the pandemic. The winners’ notion covers actors, e.g. economic sectors or people groups those extraordinarily benefited or will benefit from a pandemic, extremely upgrading their financial or other performance. In turn, the losers include individuals or entities that incurred unusual costs or losses, worsened their results, or probably will face such pandemic consequences in the future. Some economic ideas also are considered. The article is based on the scientific, popular and grey literature as well as publicly available data to support research. The research uses deductive explanation methods. Results show that the biopharmaceutical industry, leading digital companies, shareholders in international retail chains, global financial holdings, food delivery companies, and the World’s richest people are among those who thrived exceptionally well in the new living and doing business conditions and can therefore be admitted as the current crisis’ winners. Adversely, the coronavirus victims, energy and air transport sectors, and food processing labour, all of them being harmfully affected by the pandemic, are examples of losers. Albeit the presented winners and losers represent various spheres of economic life, they are more or less related to the agriculture and food processing industry. The study confirms that the functioning and condition of the latter depend on the situation of other economic sectors, agents, and markets, and international disturbances spreading within an open economy. The paper can be of interest both to the research community, and decision-makers in different economic and social policy areas.

Title	Consumers’ Awareness on Organic Food: Case of Urban Sri Lanka
Słowa kluczowe	consumers’ awareness, organic food, regression analysis, urban consumer, Sri Lanka
Key words	consumers’ awareness, organic food, regression analysis, urban consumer, Sri Lanka
Abstrakt	The organic food market is rapidly expanding all over the world with the recent rise of concern in food safety and environmental protection. Thus, examining information about consumers’ awareness on organic food is one of the inspiring areas for producers and marketers to capture a greater market share successfully. Therefore, this study aimed at analyzing the consumer awareness towards organic food products while addressing socio-demographic factors affecting consumer awareness on organic food, knowledge of consumers about organic food, and their purchasing pattern. A sample of 600 consumers was selected from the main cities of six urban districts in Sri Lanka for the study. Data were collected via a consumer survey using a pre-tested questionnaire, from November 2018 to May 2019. The data analysis was carried out using frequencies, percentages, and multiple linear regression analysis. According to the results, the majority of the respondents were married females. The results revealed that Sri Lankan consumers have a better awareness on organic food. The results of the regression analysis highlighted that the consumers’ awareness is significantly affected by factors such as gender, marital status, education, and monthly income. Although most respondents have a good level of awareness on organic food, their buying trend is at a lower level. The findings of the study play an important role in promoting the organic food market and are essential for food marketing planners, researchers, and policymakers to enhance the organic food industry in the country in the future.

Title	Outlook of Present Organic Agriculture Policies and Future Needs in Sri Lanka
Słowa kluczowe	conventional agriculture, organic agriculture, organic farming policies, Sri Lanka
Key words	conventional agriculture, organic agriculture, organic farming policies, Sri Lanka
Abstrakt	Many countries are formulating organic agriculture or organic farming policies aimed at sustainable agricultural development. Therefore, the objectives of this study were: to understand the present situation of organic agriculture policies in Sri Lanka and also in other countries where successful organic agriculture is operating; identify problems in the organic agriculture sector; and suggest potential policy measures to be implemented in Sri Lanka in future. The research was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, a thorough literature review was conducted to study the suitable policies available in other countries and also in Sri Lanka at present. In the second stage, two field surveys were carried out using pre-tested questionnaires, from December 2019 to May 2020, in order to gather farmers’ and extension officers’ information related to organic farming policy suggestions. According to the findings of the literature review, organic systems in some countries are more integrated with national strategic plans and visions. Those governments are more involved in new initiatives and farmers are encouraged to go organic through reliable and feasible policies. Although Sri Lanka has a high potential for organic agriculture, at present it is at an initial stage. While most organic products in Sri Lanka go to the export market, a small portion is kept at local markets. Demand for organic products in export as well as domestic markets is increasing. Even though there are seven international food certification agencies operating in the country as external inspection and certification bodies, a limited number of accredited certifications exist for products on the domestic market. Results of the farmers’ survey showed that even if farmers have a significant level of knowledge, few of them practice organic farming due to several existing problems. Moreover, extension officers have also identified similar types of problems that are faced by the farmers related to organic farming. Evaluation of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) related to organic agriculture in the country helped to identify key problems facing policy-makers when balancing the supply and demand sides of organic products. Also, in developing organic agriculture, an effective linkage and coordination among government and private participants is crucial. Therefore, in Sri Lanka in this context, strategic focus on policy support for organic agriculture is needed. Current organic farming programs need to be revised in order to formulate policies covering all areas related to production, handling, processing, certification, labeling and marketing, in order to bring the benefits of organic agriculture to farmers, marketers and consumers in a fair manner.

Abstrakt	This paper described and contextualized participatory development of demand-driven curriculum for career-ready e-extension services in Nigeria as introduced by the Sasakawa Africa Fund for Extension Education. The stages of participatory development were participatory need assessment, participatory stakeholders’ workshop and validation among 124 stakeholders selected as key informants in relation to agricultural extension training, delivery, end users and policy makers. The stakeholders were grouped as follows: community leaders and policy makers; extension agencies / organisations / institutions / employers; farmers; input suppliers / marketers / agro-based traders / other value actors; and potential candidate groups. Stakeholder meetings were held separately with different groups three times, and then a combined meeting took place. The aggregated major decisions/consensus were subjected to content analysis using ATLAS.ti. The validation process included reading of each agreed decision to all participants, then participants indicated their agreement or otherwise, which led to either rejection or acceptance of the decision. This paper concludes that participatory curriculum development has enhanced the stakeholders to identify areas of demand-driven training in response to community needs. The stakeholders preferred more online than face-to-face training. The major perceived advantages of e-extension were reduced risk, time and cost effectiveness while infrastructural and human challenges were the perceived challenges that could possibly hinder the smooth running of e extension.

Title	Assessment of Food Security in the East Kazakhstan Region
Słowa kluczowe	sustainability, agriculture, agri-food policy, food security
Key words	sustainability, agriculture, agri-food policy, food security
Abstrakt	The article assesses the food security of one region of Kazakhstan - the East Kazakhstan region. In the analyses, criteria such as the level of the region’s food independence, the degree of satisfaction of the population’s physiological needs in basic food, and the level of economic availability of food were applied. The research has shown that the food security in the East Kazakhstan region was at an acceptable level. However, some threats to food security were identified, including: a high level of income differentiation among the households of the East Kazakhstan region, an increase in the price index for food products, and a significant proportion of the population with incomes below the subsistence minimum. The results of the evaluation can be useful for creating agri-food policy measures that will ensure, maintain and improve the level of food security at both a regional and national level.

Słowa kluczowe	climate change, smallholder farmers, Nigeria, climate adaptation, adoption, livelihoods
Key words	climate change, smallholder farmers, Nigeria, climate adaptation, adoption, livelihoods
Abstrakt	Rice productivity and sustainability are threatened by both biotic and abiotic stresses, the effects of which can be further aggravated by dramatic changes in global climate. The most viable option for rice farmers is to use climate change adaptation practices. This study therefore investigated the determinants of use of climate change adaptation practices among rice farmers in Kebbi State, North-West, Nigeria. Data were collected from a sample of 279 farmers selected using a multistage sampling procedure. The results of the data analysis revealed that the farmers used improved rice varieties, intercropping, recommended rates of fertilizers and other chemicals as climate change adaptation practices among others. Education, climate change awareness, and extension contact significantly influenced the use of climate change adaptation practices among the farmers. Other determinants of use of climate change adaptation practices among the farmers were years of cooperative membership, affordability, farming experience, weather information and farm size. It was concluded that use of climate change adaptation practices was determined by socioeconomic, institutional and technological characteristics. It is recommended among others that government policy should be geared towards encouraging the farmers especially the younger ones to acquire more formal education, larger farmlands and more climate change awareness.

Słowa kluczowe	eksport, import, Japonia, bariery pozataryfowe, produkty mięsne
Key words	export, import, Japan, non-tariff barriers, meat products
Abstrakt	Głównym celem artykułu jest charakterystyka zmian w handlu zagranicznym produktami mięsnymi Polski z Japonią w latach 2004-2019. Zastosowano następujące metody: analiza porównawcza w czasie eksportu produktów mięsnych oraz wchodzących w jej skład głównych grup produktowych, analiza struktury towarowej tego eksportu. Otrzymane wyniki mogą być wykorzystane przez różnych uczestników łańcucha dostaw (np. przetwórców czy handel), mogą stanowić wsparcie nie tylko dla polityki gospodarczej państwa w zakresie kształtowania relacji handlowych, ale także dla przedsiębiorstw eksportujących, które są zainteresowane określeniem swojej pozycji konkurencyjnej na rynku (np. mogą oszacować swój udział w eksporcie do Japonii określonych grup asortymentowych) czy rozważyć ewentualne uplasowanie swoich produktów na tym rynku. W badaniach wykorzystano dane OECD, ITC Trade Map i niepublikowane dane roczne dotyczące eksportu i importu Ministerstwa Finansów z lat 2004-2019.
Abstract	The main purpose of the article is to describe the changes in foreign trade in meat products between Poland and Japan in the years 2004-2019. The following methods were used: comparative analysis over time of the export of meat products and its main product groups, analysis of the commodity structure of these exports. The obtained results can be implemented by various participants in the supply chain (e.g. processors or trade), they may support not only the economic policy of the state in terms of shaping trade relations, but also exporting enterprises interested in determining their competitive position market (e.g. they can estimate their share in exports to Japan of certain product groups) or consider the possible placement of their products on this market. The research used OECD, ITC Trade Map data and unpublished annual data on exports and imports of the Ministry of Finance from 2004 to 2019.

Słowa kluczowe	cocoa, competitiveness, market share, trade liberalization policy and vector error correction model
Key words	cocoa, competitiveness, market share, trade liberalization policy and vector error correction model
Abstrakt	The cocoa sector in Nigeria has experienced decline in production, yield, exports coupled with its inability to attain global standards and targets and, gradual loss of competitiveness at the world market. Trade liberalization was government’s panacea to the sector’s problem although, cocoa competitiveness remains an issue since liberalization. Therefore, the relationship between trade liberalization policy and competitiveness of Nigeria’s cocoa exports was examined in this study using data for the period 1961-2017. Cocoa market share was used to measure competitiveness while analytical tools employed were: ADF test, Johansen co-integration test and the vector error correction model (VECM). Market share, quantity of cocoa export and inflation rate were stationary at original level while others, at first difference. The co-integration test showed seven co-integrating equations. Trade liberalization policy was found to be an important driver of competitiveness. In addition, area harvested, production quantity and export quantity positively influenced competitiveness while world price of cocoa, interest rate on agricultural loans, exchange rate and trade liberalization influenced negatively. Therefore, appropriate trade policy formulation and implementation is recommended while, specific attention should be paid to monetary policies and cocoa production by the government.

Tytuł	LIQUIDITY TRAP IN THE UNITED STATES, THE EURO AREA AND JAPAN
Title	Pułapka płynności w USA, strefie euro i Japonii
Słowa kluczowe	liquidity trap, financial crisis, monetary policy
Key words	pułapka płynności, kryzys finansowy, polityka pieniężna
Abstrakt	When a country falls into a liquidity trap it means that its central bank lacks an effective expansionary monetary policy aimed at increasing consumption and investment demand. Market participants (households and enterprises), instead of increasing demand, accumulate a growing money supply in the form of cash. Keynes argued that for an economy in a liquidity trap, the only way to increase demand in the country and to stimulate the economy is to conduct expansionary fiscal policy by increasing government spending or reducing taxes. The aim of the research is to verify the empirical hypothesis of the liquidity trap in three of the largest economies in the world, formerly known as the Global Triad (i.e. the USA, the euro zone and Japan), after the 2008 financial crisis. Research methods based on literature studies in macroeconomics and finance, as well as statistical methods, were used in the study. All statistical data came from the statistical office of the European Union – EUROSTAT, and from the statistical database of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development - UNCTADstat.
Abstract	Kiedy kraj wpada w pułapkę płynności, oznacza to, że jego bankowi centralnemu brakuje skutecznej, ekspansywnej polityki monetarnej mającej na celu zwiększenie popytu konsumpcyjnego i inwestycyjnego. Uczestnicy rynku (gospodarstwa domowe i przedsiębiorstwa) zamiast zwiększać popyt gromadzą rosnącą podaż pieniądza w postaci gotówki. Keynes argumentował, że dla gospodarki znajdującej się w pułapce płynności jedynym sposobem na zwiększenie popytu w kraju i pobudzenie gospodarki jest prowadzenie ekspansywnej polityki fiskalnej poprzez zwiększanie wydatków rządowych lub obniżanie podatków. Celem badań jest weryfikacja empirycznej hipotezy o pułapce płynności w trzech największych gospodarkach świata, znanych wcześniej jako Globalna Triada (tj. USA, strefa euro i Japonia), po kryzysie finansowym w 2008 roku. W pracy wykorzystano metody badawcze oparte na studiach literaturowych z zakresu makroekonomii i finansów oraz metody statystyczne. Wszystkie dane statystyczne pochodziły z urzędu statystycznego Unii Europejskiej - EUROSTAT oraz z bazy danych statystycznych Konferencji Narodów Zjednoczonych ds. Handlu i Rozwoju - UNCTADstat.

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.

Słowa kluczowe	polityka makroostrożnościowa, instytucje ważne systemowo, bufory kapitałowe, MREL, TLAC
Key words	macroprudential policy, systemically important financial institutions, capital buffers, MREL, TLAC
Abstrakt	Polityka makroostrożnościowa wprowadzona regulacjami bazylejskimi po globalnym kryzysie finansowym ma charakter prewencyjny, chociaż obejmuje swym zakresem szereg rozwiązań instytucjonalnych i instrumentalnych, służących zapobieganiu materializacji ryzyka systemowego. Analiza tych rozwiązań została powiązana w opracowaniu z ich ukierunkowaniem na finansowe instytucje ważne systemowo (SIFIs), działające w Unii Europejskiej. Wskazuje się w nim, że wprowadzone do polityki makroostrożnościowej rozwiązania instytucjonalne i instrumentalne zwiększają znacznie dyscyplinę regulacyjną w systemie finansowym współczesnej gospodarki, nie zawsze natomiast są przejrzyste, a ich skuteczność ograniczona, z uwagi na właściwości ryzyka systemowego. Rozproszenie regulacyjne obserwuje sie również w Unii Europejskiej w odniesieniu do finansowych instytucji ważnych systemowo. Wzmacnia ono argumenty na rzecz tezy o niskiej skuteczności polityki makroostrożnościowej w dyscyplinowaniu stabilizującej roli SIFIs w systemie finansowym gospodarki globalnej.
Abstract	The macroprudential policy implemented due to the Basel regulations after the global financial crisis has a preventive nature, although it covers a number of institutional and instrumental solutions aimed at preventing the materialisation of systemic risk. The analysis of these solutions has been linked in the article with their orientation on financial systemically important institutions (SIFIs), operating in the European Union. It is indicated that institutional and instrumental solutions, implemented through the macroprudential policy, significantly increase regulatory discipline in the financial system of the modern economy; however they are not always transparent and their effectiveness is limited, due to the nature of systemic risk. Regulatory dispersion in the European Union is also observed in relation to systemically important financial institutions. It strengthens the arguments in favor of the idea that macroprudential policy has low effectiveness in disciplining the stabilizing role of SIFIs in the financial system of the global economy.

Tytuł	Transport sector energy use and carbon emissions: a study on sectoral fiscal policies
Title	Zużycie energii i emisja dwutlenku węgla w sektorze transportu: badanie sektorowych polityki fiskalnej
Słowa kluczowe	transportation, fiscal policy, carbon tax
Key words	transport, polityka podatkowa, podatek węglowy
Abstrakt	As the energy sector worldwide is largely based on fossil fuel consumption, the amount of global-scale carbon emissions continues to increase over the years. One of the most important reasons for the increase in emissions, the transportation sector, continues to develop with globalization. The development of land, sea, and air transport together with international trade brings environmental problems in parallel with the increase in energy consumption. Accordingly, it is estimated that one fourth of total carbon emissions today originate from the transportation sector. In this context, in order to combat environmental problems such as global warming and climate change on an international scale, initiatives such as the Paris Climate Agreement are being implemented and environmental policies to reduce the amount of emissions are being recommended. The aim of this study is to examine environmental policies, which have been discussed extensively in the literature, in terms of fiscal policy. In this context, fiscal policy tools such as taxes, subsidies, incentives, and regulations specific to the transport sector were discussed. This study, in which the descriptive method is used, argues that fiscal policy practices can be an effective method in reducing the amount of carbon emissions.
Abstract	Sektor energetyczny na całym świecie w dużej mierze opiera się na paliwach kopalnych, co skutkuje ciągłym wzrostem emisji dwutlenku węgla na skalę światową. Jedną z najważniejszych przyczyn wzrostu emisji jest sektor transportu, którego rozwój jest powiązany z procesami globalizacji. Rozwój transportu lądowego, morskiego i lotniczego wraz z handlem międzynarodowym i zwiększonym zużyciem energii powoduje problemy środowiskowe. W związku z tym szacuje się, że jedna czwarta całkowitej emisji dwutlenku węgla pochodzi obecnie z sektora transportu. W tym kontekście, w celu zwalczania problemów środowiskowych, takich jak globalne ocieplenie i zmiany klimatyczne w skali międzynarodowej, wdrażane są takie inicjatywy, jak porozumienie klimatyczne z Paryża, a także zalecana jest polityka środowiskowa mająca na celu zmniejszenie ilości emisji. Celem niniejszego opracowania jest analiza polityki środowiskowej, która była szeroko omawiana w literaturze, pod kątem polityki fiskalnej. W tym kontekście omówiono narzędzia polityki fiskalnej, takie jak podatki, dotacje, zachęty i przepisy specyficzne dla sektora transportu. Niniejsze badanie, w którym zastosowano metodę opisową, dowodzi, że praktyki polityki fiskalnej mogą być skuteczną metodą zmniejszania ilości emisji dwutlenku węgla.

Title	Zmienność ofert cenowych przewoźników pasażerskich na przykładzie trasy Warszawa – Bruksela
Słowa kluczowe	air communication, ticket prices, pricing policy
Key words	komunikacja lotnicza, ceny biletów, polityka cenowa
Abstrakt	In the study, the authors dealt with the price offer of four air carriers on the Warsaw – Brussels route. There were two traditional carriers (LOT Polish Airlines and Lufthansa) and two low-cost carriers (Ryanair and Wizz Air). The analysis considered changes in the ticket prices for a flight on a specific day over six months. A diversified pricing policy was found. Low-cost carriers and Lufthansa changed prices frequently but to a small extent. On the other hand, the cost of a ticket on Polish airlines was gradually increasing, the fastest in the last month before the flight. To minimize the ticket price at PLL LOT, a reservation had to be made at least three months before the flight. The lowest price of a Lufthansa and Ryanair ticket occurred a month before departure. On the other hand, at Wizz Air, the final price was lower than that offered at the beginning of the study.
Abstract	W opracowaniu autorzy podjęli problematykę oferty cenowej czterech przewoźników lotniczych na trasie Warszawa – Bruksela. Było to dwóch przewoźników tradycyjnych (PLL LOT i Lufthansa) oraz dwóch niskokosztowych (Ryanair i Wizz Air). W analizie uwzględniono zmiany cen biletu na lot konkretnego dnia w półrocznym okresie. Stwierdzono zróżnicowaną politykę cenową. Przewoźnicy niskokosztowi oraz Lufthansa zmieniali cenę często, ale w niewielkim zakresie. Z kolei koszt biletu w polskich liniach stopniowo rósł, najszybciej w ostatnim miesiącu przed lotem. W minimalizacji ceny biletu w PLL LOT należało dokonać rezerwacji minimum trzy miesiące przed lotem. Najniższa cena biletu Lufthansy oraz Ryanair wystąpiła na miesiąc przed wyjazdem. Z kolei w Wizz Air cena ostateczna była niższa od zaoferowanej na początku badania.
