Celem analizy jest oddzielenie tendencji długoterminowych (specyficznych dla kohorty) i krótkoterminowych (specyficznych dla okresu) w celu weryfikacji hipotez o pozytywnym wpływie zwiększania kapitału ludzkiego nowych kohort w populacji na zdrowie i LFPR. Obliczenia przeprowadzono na danych quasi-panelowych zbudowanych z bazy danych Polskiego Badania Siły Roboczej (PLFS) za lata 1995–2017. Wyniki pokazują, że polepszenie zdrowia osób w wieku 40–65 lat było bardzo luźno związane ze wzrostem ich udziału w sile roboczej. Niższy udział osób z rentami i polepszającymi się LFPR osób niepełnosprawnych odegrał stosunkowo niewielką rolę w wyjaśnianiu całkowitej zmiany LFPR w gospodarce, ponieważ większość pozytywnych zmian w podaży pracy wynikała ze zmian zachowań osób bez niepełnosprawności. Wyniki dekompozycji APC nie potwierdzają hipotezy o silnych zmianach pokoleniowych w LFPR i niepełnosprawności w całym okresie.; The article presents the results of the decomposition of the changes in the age profiles of percentages of disabled people and labor force participation rates (LFPR) using the age-period-cohort (APC) decomposition. The aim of the analysis is the separation of long-term (cohort-specific) and short-term (period-specific) tendencies to verify hypotheses about the positive impact of the increasing human capital of new cohorts in the population on health and LFPRs. Calculations have been made on quasi-panel data constructed from the Polish Labor Force Survey (PLFS) database for the period 1995-2017. The results show that the improving health of people of pre-retirement age was very loosely connected with the gains in their labor force participation. The lower share of people with disability benefits and the improving LFPRs of disabled people have played a relatively minor role in explaining the change in the total LFPR in the economy as the vast majority of the positive changes in the labor supply were due to changes in the behavior of people without disabilities. Finally, the results of the APC decomposition do not confirm the hypothesis about the simultaneous generational changes in LFPRs and disability during the analyzed period.

Autorka pokazuje przyczyny nawiązania współpracy gospodarczej pomiędzy państwami będącymi teoretycznie w stanie wojny. Wyjaśnia charakter tej współpracy. Wskazuje, że od początku strona południowokoreańska oraz międzynarodowa opinia publiczna przypisywały im duże znaczenie polityczne, oczekiwano, że przyniosą istotne przemiany systemu w KRLD. Korea Północna przy tym zaangażowała się w ten proces zgoła z innych względów. Pozyskanie nowego źródła dochodów było dla wyniszczonego nędzą kraju warunkiem utrzymaniem władzy przez obecnych rządzących oraz konserwacji istniejącego systemu. Autorka wykazuje, że kontakty gospodarcze między państwami koreańskimi przypominają grę o sumie zerowej, w której gracze znając tabelę wypłat dla obu stron, dobierają strategię, która pozwoli im zmaksymalizować wygraną i zmotywować partnera do niezbędnej współpracy. Stawką w grze jest przetrwanie lub upadek Korei Północnej.; The purpose of the article is to explain the conditions of inter-Korean economic cooperation. In 1945 the Korean peninsula divided into North and South Korea, leading to the spectacular economic collapse of the first and the equally spectacular economic success of the latter. These two countries, though divided by a technically-ongoing war, are maintaining limited economic cooperation. This economic exchange started at the end of the 1980’s and gained momentum after the first inter-Korean summit in 2000. The first substantial joint projects, such as establishing a South Korean industrial complex on the north side of the DMZ, were initially welcomed by South Korea and the West as the beginning of long-awaited political change in the DPRK. However, North Korea engaged in this process for different reasons, not to change its system but to strengthen it. The new source of income from the exchange was to maintain the existing regime and support the ruling elites. The author shows that the economic relations between two Koreas resemble a zero-sum game with the survival of North Korea at stake.

The author analyzes press reports and archival materials to trace the publication’s history over the past 80 years. Gospodarka Narodowa was started in 1931 as an initiative by economist Czesław Bobrowski. The magazine was initially published every two weeks. It quickly became one of the most influential economic periodicals in Poland in the period between World War I and II. At the time, Gospodarka Narodowa focused on general economic topics and was run by a team of young editors who targeted a mostly young audience. One of the magazine’s characteristic features was its considerable independence and an apolitical approach. The magazine brought together a number of up-and-coming Warsaw economists, who set up a prestigious organization known as the National Economic Club. In the postwar period, Bobrowski, who was chairman of the no-longer-existing Central Planning Office (CUP), came up with the idea of reviving the magazine. The new biweekly publication, renamed Gospodarka Planowa, initially followed up on what its predecessor did in terms of form and content, however it was controlled by the Central Planning Office. In the late 1940s, the magazine found itself completely dependent on the decision makers at the time and became a mouthpiece and propaganda tool of the country’s communist authorities. As a result of political changes in Poland in 1956, Gospodarka Planowa was transformed into a scientific and economic monthly whose contributors included top Polish economists at the time. In 1990, the magazine reverted to its original title. Today Gospodarka Narodowa is one of the most highly rated Polish magazines dealing with economic issues.

The author examines Krzyczkowski’s professional career using data collected at the Warsaw School of Economics Archives and the Central Archives of Modern Records in Warsaw. Krzyczkowski’s social and economic activities in the period between the two world wars and after WW II were of special interest to Jarosz-Nojszewska. She also delves into the wartime experiences of Krzyczkowski, who commanded Polish Home Army troops in Kampinos Forest in his capacity as Lt. Col. “Szymon.” The main part of the article is dedicated to Krzyczkowski’s involvement in economic discussion clubs in the 1930s. This is the least researched period of his life, Jarosz-Nojszewska says. Krzyczkowski co-founded an organization called the National Economy Club. After the death of Poland’s erstwhile leader Marshal Józef Piłsudski, Krzyczkowski founded another organization called the Social National Club, which published its own weekly periodical entitled Zespół. The Social National Club called for far-reaching political and economic changes in Poland, as reflected by its key publication Podstawy doktryny społeczno-narodowej (The Fundamentals of the Social National Doctrine). The publication provoked criticism of the National Economy Club community, whose members were accused of disseminating communism, especially by those with conservative views. The dispute reached the courtroom, but it remained unresolved due to the outbreak of WW II. Tue, 01 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12182/379 2011-11-01T00:00:00Z
