“…In relation to studies conducted by Rudolf Loertscher and Frank Wolter [1980], Attila Jámbor [2015] and Justyna Łapińska [2016, the low intensity of intra-industry trade in agri-food products of the EU, including Poland, with the US may be explained e.g. by the considerable geographical distance and different absolute sizes of markets in the case of these trade partners, as well as the discrepancy in economic development of the analysed countries.…”

The aim of this paper was to investigate the intensity and determine the type of intra-industry trade in agri-food products of Poland and the EU with the US. Analysis was based on data coming from the Comext-Eurostat database applying the 6-digit HS classification in 2007 and 2018. The intensity of intra-industry trade was established using the Grubel-Lloyd index, taking the diversification of intra-industry trade into horizontal, high-quality vertical, and low-quality vertical trade into consideration. The individual types were determined applying the criteria of similarity in unit values in exports and imports, proposed by David Greenaway et al. [1994]. Analysis showed that trade in agri-food products of Poland and the EU with the US developed mainly following a model of inter-industry specialisation. Intra-industry trade was observed primarily in trade in highly processed products. Analyses of EU trade with the US indicate the greatest role of intra-industry trade in high quality differentiated products, which may hardly be supplemented by other goods, while in Polish trade with the US it was vertical trade in low quality goods, which may be relatively readily replaced by products coming from other countries, in turn potentially leading to the loss of Poland’s share in the target market.

“…In view of the above it may be assumed that it is in this type of trade that we may find the greatest chance for the development of food exports from the EU countries on the American market. Low intensity of intra-industry trade in agri-food products of the EU with the USA may in turn be justified e.g., by the considerable distance and the difference in the absolute size of the markets of the trade partners, as well as varied levels of economic development of the analyzed countries [83][84][85][86]. In reference to the analysis by [87] it may be assumed that an increase in the degree of intra-industry specialization might be promoted by the affiliation of the investigated countries to the same preferential trade area.…”

The systematically strengthening role of emerging economies has become a factor strongly determining the overall trade policy of the European Union (EU) and the United States of America (USA), as well as their bilateral relations. One of the initiatives aiming at the strengthening of economic ties within the transatlantic partnership, as a consequence promoting stabilization of the positions of the EU and the USA in the world economy, was related with negotiations concerning the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. The EU-USA trade talks were suspended at the end of 2016; however, the establishment of the EU-USA free trade area might be a breakthrough in the transatlantic relations, while the conclusion of this agreement would significantly determine the competitive position of the agri-food sector of these two economies, both in their bilateral relations and in world trade. In view of the above, the aim of this paper is to estimate the competitive position of the EU agri-food sector in transatlantic trade considering the conclusion of the agreement establishing the EU-USA free trade area. For this purpose, Widodo’s method of mapping products on the target market was applied. Results from the conducted analyses suggest that from 2010–2020 comparative advantages gained by the EU on the US market were sources of an advantageous export specialization. In view of the forecasted dynamic increase in agri-food export from the EU to the USA caused by possible liberalization of bilateral trade, the relatively strong competitive position of the EU on the American market might be maintained or even strengthened. However, such a situation would be determined by the regulatory cooperation progressing with the reduction of tariffs.

“…It should be emphasized, however, that in Figures 2 and 3 a different character of development trends is visible for each country in the years 1996-2016. This is a consequence of different levels of advancement of the economic development of countries (see : Cheba, 2015;Simionescu et al, 2017;Szopik-Depczyńska et al, 2017;2018b;Dmytrów & Bieszk-Stolorz, 2019;Skare & Porada-Rochoń, 2019a;2019b;Kuc-Czarnecka et al, 2020), including the level of institutional development (see: Balcerzak, 2020), internationalization of these countries (see : Pietrzak & Łapińska, 2015;Łapinska, 2016;Kurowska-Pysz et al, 2018;Jaklič & Svetličič, 2019;Sánchez-López et al, 2019;Shkolnyk et al, 2019), degree of innovation (see: Szopik-Depczyńska et al, 2018a;Jakimowicz & Rzeczkowski, 2019) or the level of digital economy (see : Balcerzak, 2017;Balcerzak & Pietrzak, 2017;Pietrzak & Ziemkiewicz, 2018a;2018b;Victor et al, 2019).…”

The subject of the article concerns changes in the structure of consumption in the Visegrad countries in the years 1996-2016. The focused was on expenditure on services and food expenditure of households in the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary. The systematic improvement of the socio-economic situation and institutional changes in the Visegrad Group countries resulted in an increase in expenditure on services and food. This contributed to changes in the structure of household consumption, where the share of expenditure on services in final expenditure increased in the examined period in each of the countries studied, and the share of expenditure on food systematically decreased. The main research objective of the article is to identify trends in the share of household expenditure on selected types of goods in their final expenditure. The different trends in the shaping of expenditure shares for goods considered in the article result from their different nature, where services are a higher order good, while food is a good satisfying basic existential needs of man. The study also attempted to determine the limit values of the share of expenditure on services and the share of expenditure on food in the structure of household consumption in selected countries. The limit values were determined for both types of goods on the basis of estimation of parameters of the Tӧrnquist function of the first type. The limit values established in the study should be treated as the saturation level for the share of goods that the countries are able to achieve with the current trends in their socio-economic development.
