“…Innovations are considered one of the main drivers of growth and competitive advantage, especially in a regional perspective, whereas institutional environment is regarded as a key factor supporting innovativeness of enterprises. The level of innovation varies across regions (Hlaváček and Siviček, 2017;Pater and Lewandowska, 2015;Świadek, 2013;Buerger et al, 2012;Hunady et al, 2017;Moreno et al, 2005;Paci and Usai, 2000). On the one hand, this can result in the availability and quality of local inputs, as well as limitations in the geographical penetration of knowledge (Greunz, 2003).…”

Innovation and innovativeness should be seen as a vast and internally complex set of measures carried out to improve management efficiency, build strong competitive positions and obtain economic benefits from enterprises, national economies and societies. A possibility of achieving these benefits is the category of competitiveness, hence, relative position of a region is measured using various indicators. The aim of the study is to analyze the level of the selected RIS indicators of the Podkarpackie against selected EU regions. The study will make it possible to understand in which area Podkarpackie performs better and in which worse? The analysis is carried out at the regional level NUTS 2. The most important approach in which quantitative indicators have been used comprehensively is EIS, which makes it possible to compare the Podkarpackie with the selected regions of Poland and the EU. Seven regions were selected for our analysis: 1 in Denmark, Germany, the United Kingdom, Czech Republic and 3 in Poland. When it comes to innovativeness, the Podkarpackie region is a Moderate Innovator. The results of our research show that the relative strengths in the regional innovation system are design applications, sales new-tomarket/firm innovations, R&D expenditures business sector, non-R&D innovation expenditures, and tertiary education. Relative weaknesses are: marketing or organizational innovations, and also life-long learning.

Solid as a Rock: Media Portrayals of Cross-Border Activities

Much has been said and written about the importance of cross-border activities. With the process of opening up the borders, these cross-border activities became increasingly intense. Nevertheless, much less has been revealed on media portrayals of cross-border activities. The purpose of this article is to analyse, assess, and interpret regionally orientated contributions that deal with cross-border activities and are broadcasted within the national TV reporting in Czechia. While material or tangible aspects of cross-border activities have been traditionally examined thoroughly, the media reflection of those activities has not been captured in an adequate manner so far. The article deals with the issue from both quantitative and qualitative points of view. This complementary view is useful from the perspective of the interpretation of findings. Moreover, such an approach largely helps to fill in the existing research gaps. It has been found out that media portrayals of cross-border activities are inadequate from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives and barely reflect genuine processes related to cross-border interactions in real circumstances. Taking into account the general importance of cross-border activities and processes for developments of whole territories, less plastic media capturing of these activities and processes might seem surprising.

“…Therefore, there are more scientific works, where the dimension of space is taken into account for the studied economic phenomena. The subject literature presents analyses of the spatial diversity of the phenomena studied (see Balcerzak, 2016a;2016b;2017;Nowak, 2018;Semenko et al, 2019), the results of the use of taxonomic methods for region analysis (see Smékalová et al, 2015;Simionescu, 2016;Reiff et al, 2016;Kuc, 2017a;Tvaronavičienė & Razminienė, 2017;Hlaváček & Siviček, 2017;Rollnik-Sadowska & Dąbrowska, 2018;Kljucnikov et al, 2018;Rogalska, 2018;Horská et al, 2019), the results of the use of spatial statistics methods allowing the identification of spatial dependencies and measurement of spatial autocorrelation (see Furková & Chocholatá, 2017) and the results of the use of spatial econometrics models (see Pietrzak, 2012;Bal-Domańska, 2016;Kuc, 2017b).…”

Modifiable Areal Unit Problem: the issue of determining the relationship between microparameters and a macroparameter

Research background: One of the issues considered by economists such as Tinbergen (1939), Klein (1946), May, (1946), Theil (1965), Pawłowski (1969), Bołt et al. (1985) was to determine the mechanism of transition between the results of microeconomics and the theory of macroeconomics. As part of this research, Pawłowski (1969) raised the problem of establishing the relationship between microparameters and a macroparameter. In the presented article, Pawłowski's problem was expanded to include spatial economic research, where micro-dependencies and spatial macro-dependencies were analysed. Purpose of the article: The purpose of the article is to establish the relationship between the microparameters set for SGM agricultural macroregions and the macroparameter referring to the whole area of Poland, where the parameters describe the economic dependencies regarding the impact of the size of farms in established region on their technical equipment. In the study, the economic relationships analysed in the case of individual SGM agricultural macroregions were defined as spatial micro-dependencies, and in the case of the entire area of Poland as spatial macro-dependencies. Methods: The methodological part of the article describes the concepts of Modifiable Areal Unit Problem, causal homogeneity of spatial data, homogeneous system of sets of areal units, area and sub-areas of conclusions. The concepts of micro-dependencies and spatial macro-dependencies are presented. Basic equations allowing to determine the evaluation of the spatial macroparameter as a linear combination of spatial microparameters were also presented. Findings & Value added: In the first stage of the study, spatial micro-dependencies were identified for subsequent SGM agricultural macroregions. In the second stage of the study, the relationship between spatial microparameters for single macroregions and the spatial macroparameter for Poland was determined. Establishing the relationship allowed to determine the macroparameter estimate for the whole area of Poland.
