This article relates to recent literature on labour market consequences of production fragmentation within Global Value Chains, analysed in the presence of workers' heterogeneity and differences in the task content of jobs. The main aim is to assess if there is a relationship between wages of Polish workers and the degree of Polish production dependence on imported inputs. Research Design & Methods: Using microdata from EU-SILC on workers from Poland observed in 2008-2014, we estimate a Mincerian model, augmented by a measure of task content of occupations and the industry level index of the import intensity of production computed with input-output data and accounting for good's production sequence). IV estimation is employed to account for potential endogeneity between the import intensity of production and wages. Findings: Regression results suggest that negative relationship between wages of Polish workers and the dependence of their sector of employment on foreign inputs is magnified by the routinisation level of the occupation. Hence occupation-specific task requirements play a role. Implications & Recommendations: It implies that not all the Polish workers are affected in the same. The movements towards jobs with higher degree of non-routine content could protect against negative wage effects of fragmentation. Contribution & Value Added: The relationship between wages in Poland and the reliance on foreign inputs and GVCs links has not yet been studied from the micro-level task-based perspective. This article fills in this gap. Article type: research paper

“…A typical longitudinal release covers 4 years, but will not contain data from all rotational groups. Instead, one rotational group is followed up for 4 years, a second for 3 years, and a third for 2 years (see Berger and Schaffner, for an illustration of this structure). Appending observations from different releases therefore allows an increase in the total sample size: starting from the 2011 release, which covers the years 2008–11, we use the 2010 release to add observations from a new rotational group for the years 2007–10 for each available country.…”

“…As EU SILC research has its limitations (Berger & Schaffner, 2017;Lacovou et al, 2012), the study additionally uses data from the Ministry of Finance. These data come from annual information on the PIT settlement and annual information on flat-rate tax on recorded revenues.…”

Our research into the fast-growing segment of the rental market fits perfectly with the current wave of excitement. In this research, we attempt to answer a fundamental question: how large is the rental segment in Poland? To our surprise, the answer to this key question remains wrapped in mystery, with an absence of continuous studies disclosing its true size. Undaunted, in this paper we took up the challenge to develop a method that would give us a clear answer. Using Eurostat statistics, we develop a methodological framework for estimating the size of the rental segment. We acknowledge that Eurostat data possesses certain limitations, yet serves as a valuable resource for fulfilling our goal under the proposed methodology. In our approach, we determine the size of Polish rental segment between 2007 and 2021. To validate our findings, we dived into the complex relationship between the size of the rental segment and households. Applying linear regression, we sought to unravel the main determinants influencing not only the overall housing market but also the dimensions of the puzzling rental segment. The proposed method proves to be successful and answers the research question. However, it is important to emphasize that the presented results are estimates that give an impression of the elusive size of the rental housing segment and not exact measurements. Moreover, the flexibility of the proposed methodology is promising and allows similar studies to be conducted in different geographical contexts.
