“…Currently, there is significant improvement in SO2 concentrations; only in 2017 was there a deterioration in results from the Silesian zone [98]. Environmental regulations in Poland place particular emphasis on reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emission from the combustion of fossil fuels (mainly hard coal and lignite) [95,99]. A longer perspective (Figure 1) on Poland's economic growth and CO2 emissions are indicated by the shape of the letter U; therefore the EKC hypothesis is not correct [100].…”

Does Environment Matter in Smart Revitalization Strategies? Management towards Sustainable Urban Regeneration Programs in Poland

The article presents the course of the evolution of the concept of urban renewal’s emergence into its current, mature, integrated form of sustainable regeneration (sustainable urban regeneration—SUR). We present how the determination of renewal areas and its goals began to be based on particular indicators, and how the importance of these analyses gradually increased in managing the implementation of urban regeneration programs. Analytical techniques using GIS were used in the analyses of the differentiation of crisis phenomena inside cities before they became popular in smart city tools. Despite the wide use of GIS to analyze the diversity of crisis phenomena within the city, the availability of data means that different spheres are characterized with different accuracy. Starting from the significance of individual spheres, the focus has primarily been on the environment, which is underappreciated in Poland. Municipalities (urban, rural, urban–rural) with regeneration programs do not perceive negative environmental phenomena as significant in assessing a crisis in a degraded area. Nevertheless, municipalities that do analyze environmental issues in regeneration programs also see the need for action and implementation of projects in the environmental sphere. In order to verify the hypothesis, the Statistics Poland (formerly known in English as the Central Statistical Office; Polish: Główny Urząd Statystyczny, abbreviated and known as GUS) data on the regeneration process was analyzed, with reference to the relationships between renewal areas and the natural environment. In order to check these dependencies (or the lack thereof), the Yule φ coefficient and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient were used. As a result, this study showed that analysis of the level and degree of degradation of the environmental sphere is not carried out frequently enough in municipalities. Secondly, the difficulties of municipalities, especially small ones (urban-rural and rural), in their analysis of the environmental sphere are the result of poor data availability. Thirdly, it is noted that there is a relationship between the designation of environmental zones and the type of municipality. This is of particular importance for the enhancement of smart city tools for the regeneration of existing cities, esp. small ones.

“…This relationship has been termed the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) [63]. The EKC might be shown as an inverted U-shaped relationship between different pollutants causing environmental degradation and economic growth (i.e., per capita income) [40,61,64]. Economic growth is in close relation to energy consumption, which is caused by higher economic development, which requires more energy consumption, and more efficient energy use also requires a higher level of economic development.…”

Links between the Energy Intensity of Public Urban Transport, Regional Economic Growth and Urbanisation: The Case of Poland

et al. 2023

The article concerns the verification of links between the energy intensity of public urban transport, regional economic development and urbanisation in the light of sustainable development challenges and club convergence processes. Three research questions were formulated in the article: (1) Does the regional economic development of voivodeships affect the energy intensity of public urban transport? (2) Does urbanisation shape energy consumption patterns in public urban transport (and are there agglomeration effects)? (3) Does the level of urbanisation of voivodeships depend on their regional level? The study covered 16 subregions of Poland from 2010 to 2020. A spatial dynamic exploration of the relationships between energy intensity patterns of public urban transport and the phenomenon of urbanisation and regional economic development was carried out. Panel models of vector autoregression and panel causality testing were used. The influence of the economic development of regions and the level of urbanisation on energy intensity patterns of public urban transport was confirmed. The link between economic development and the process of urbanisation was identified. An additional effect was noticed (novelty knowledge), i.e., there is a delayed club convergence between voivodeships in the area of energy intensity of public urban transport, regional economic development and urbanisation (polyconvergence).

“…After establishing the long run relationships between the variables in (1) above, we proceed to identify the short run relationship of the various macroeconomic variables in (1) stock prices (SP) in India. Although recent studies provide examples of the efficacy of various types of Granger causality (e.g., Piłatowska, M., Włodarczyk, A., Zawada, 2014;Syczewska, 2014;Geise, A. and Piłatowska, 2016), the relationships examined in this study are best understood through the Granger causality test derived from the VECM estimation 7 . The VECM Granger causality test results are reported in Table 3.…”

This paper investigates the relationship between stock prices and selected macroeconomic variables in India. The empirical results suggest that, in the long run, output growth and the exchange rate are positively related to stock prices, while money supply exhibits a negative relationship to stock market prices. In the short run most of the variation in the stock market is captured by its own innovation, although the exchange rate, the price level and the interest rate seem to have some effect on short-run stock prices.
