“…Most of the initial variables are strongly correlated with only one synthetic component, but two variables are strongly correlated with multiple components (fmm_arv, proportion of taxpayers working in the construction industry, is strongly correlated with components F1 and F3, and cmm_arv, proportion of taxpayers working in the manufacturing industry, is strongly correlated with components F2 and F10), and one variable did not correlate with any component (ttuot, proportion of unemployed in the population). The methodology of interpreting components was devised by one of the authors several decades ago (Рейльян 1981;Reiljan & Karu 1983;Reiljan 2014). The results of our principal component analysis for different years show stability.…”

The goal of this paper is to model and assess the influence of demand-side factors on the supply of mixed local public services in Estonian municipalities. Population size and structure, as well as income levels and employment structures of the residents of the municipalities, are considered the demand-side factors of mixed local public services in this study. The supply of these services are described through different types of budget expenditure per resident or service user, but also through the shares of different expenditure types in total expenditure in Estonian local governments budgets. The significance, direction and intensity of the influence of potential factors on supply of local mixed public services is identified using correlation analysis, principal component analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results of the empirical analysis show many statistically significant relationships between demand-side factors and supply indicators, but only a small share of the differences between municipalities in terms of the level and structure of budget expenditures on mixed local public services is described through multiple regression models based on the principal components of demand-side factor sets. Consequently, the effectiveness of the supply of mixed local public services is not high and needs improvement in Estonian municipalities.

“…As a result, the number of indicators describing R&D policy is reduced by two thirds (from 15 to 5), but less than a fifth of the information (variation) contained in the original indicators is lost (the summary variation description rate of components is 82.9%). The essence and names of the synthetic components have been brought out on the basis of existing methodology (see Рейльян 1981 andReiljan 2014). The synthetic components of R&D policy in this study are named: C1 -"The level of R&D activity funding in the higher education sector"; C2 -"The level of R&D activity funding in the government sector"; C3 -"The relative im-portance of the central government in funding R&D activities in enterprises"; C4 -"The level of funding of R&D activities in enterprises from the government sector"; C5 -"The relative importance of the EU regarding the funding of R&D activities in enterprises".…”

The success of business-sector research and development (R&D) activities and innovation performance is dependent on general development conditions (path dependency), but also on the efficiency of public R&D policy measures, which supports business-sector R&D activities directed towards innovation. In the current article we present a holistic approach based on macro-quantitative analysis for characterizing the role of the public sector in shaping business-sector R&D activities and innovation performance. The influence of R&D policy on business-sector R&D activities in EU member states (and countries closely associated with them) will be empirically analyzed with the combined methods of principal component analysis and multiple regression analysis. The goal of the article is to explore new possibilities of the macro-quantitative approach for policy-influence analysis and to assess on the basis of constructed models the situation in the Baltic States, which have, after the transformation from command to market economy, chosen different approaches to R&D policy. The article reports on the following research tasks: (1) an analysis of the role (needs and opportunities) of R&D policy for shaping business-sector R&D activities and innovation performance; (2) a presentation of the new opportunities to develop the macro-quantitative modelling of R&D policy influence through the combination of principal component analysis (PCA) and multiple regression analysis methods; and (3) an assessment of the results of R&D policy influence on business-sector R&D activities and innovation performance in the Baltic States, based on constructed statistical models. Data from 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2010 has been used. Large discrepancies can be found in both theoretical and empirical approaches to the formation of business-sector R&D activities and innovation performance. In the current study, available theoretical studies are systematized, the solution for some statistical modelling problems in available empirical studies is demonstrated, and finally, the assessment of the influence of R&D policy on the business sector in small Baltic States is provided in comparison to the sample of investigated countries.

“…The implementation of the principles of sustainable development in municipalities is aimed at positive qualitative and quantitative changes in the area while respecting environmental values and the principles of social equality [25][26][27]. Sustainable development is, therefore, a category of socio-economic development that forms part of ideas concerning the development of the region.…”

Special economic zones (SEZs) differ in terms of the scope and principles of functioning, they have the same objective: to attract investments and create jobs and simultaneously generate benefits for municipalities and their residents. However, in order to make the activity of SEZs and their further development possible and acceptable, activities undertaken in these areas should be consistent with the concept of sustainable development. Therefore, in addition to the leading economic benefits in the development of municipalities social and environmental ones should also be expected. The activity of the entities investing in SEZs certainly arouses some doubts as to their involvement in the search for balance between three pillars of sustainable development. The objective of the research was to assess the concept of special economic zones taking into account measurable economic, social and environmental criteria accompanying the idea of sustainable development. The research included the analysis of selected results of the activity of Polish municipalities. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) applied to independent groups indicated that the municipalities functioning in the area of SEZs differ in a positive way from other municipalities in terms of the analyzed scope.
