Opis:
The research paper presents institutional systems of economies in the following transforming countries: Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia. The article aims at indicating the changes which have taken place in informal institutions' structures since the early nineties. It also attempts to determine how informal institutions are supporting formal institutions. Heading towards building new institutional systems, transforming countries face a barrier of slowly evolving informal institutions. A mismatch between institutional structures can be noticed in transforming countries. Low level of trust in people, resistance to new ideas, strong attachment to traditional behavioural patterns and excessive role of “connections”, relatively low level of self-expression, high expec-tations towards the state and its welfare functions, and low social activity within the society, can be observed. The institutional changes in informal components have been presented using data from World Values Survey, CEPII and G.Hofstede research.

Opis:
The main goal of this article is to find the answer for the question about the necessary reform to be undertaken in the EU to save the euro as a common cur-rency. The author envisages three scenarios of the euro area’s future development. In his opinion, the most probable one are the institutional reforms in the euro area. The essential element of the reform is to establish a proper mix between the ECB’ monetary policy and fiscal policies in the member states. All proposed steps against the euro crisis are mutually correlated: monetary integration requires stricter fiscal integration, fiscal integration requires banking union, but banking union is going to require some form of a political union. This way the debt crisis in the euro area may present an opportunity to renew the strength of the European institutions.

Opis:
Goffmanowska koncepcja instytucji totalnych stępiła się i rodzi dziś więcej pytań, niż udziela odpowiedzi. Z perspektywy ponad pięćdziesięciu lat od wydania Asylums, narosło wokół pracy wiele nieporozumień, a definicja stała się rozmyta i niejasna, umożliwiając używanie jej do opisu nieomal każdej instytucji społecznej. Artykuł ma na celu zmianę tej sytuacji i zaproponowanie skorygowanej, wyostrzonej i dostosowanej do zmieniającej się rzeczywistości społecznej definicji koncepcji instytucji totalnych. Tok argumentacji rozpoczyna ulokowanie koncepcji w historii badań społecznych oraz w kontekstach jej aplikowalności. Kolejny krok stanowi rekonstrukcja krytycznych stanowisk na przestrzeni lat, pozwalająca zidentyfikować słabe i mocne punkty Goffmanowskiej propozycji. Następnie artykuł podąża za intelektualnymi dłużnikami Goffmana, którzy udoskonalają lub budują konkurencyjne propozycje teoretyczne na bazie przemyśleń dotyczących instytucji totalnych. Na końcu, korzystając z prezentowanych wcześniej w artykule uwag oraz pomysłów innych badaczy, zostaje przedstawiona autorska rekonfiguracja koncepcji instytucji totalnych.
Goffman’s concept of total institutions seems to have lost its significance and raises a lot of questions. From the perspective of more than 50 years since the first publication of Asylums, there has been a great deal of confusion surrounding this work. The definition of total institutions itself is fuzzy and ambiguous, applicable to almost any social institution. This article aims at offering a corrected, precise and upto-date definition of total institutions. It starts with placing the concept in the context of other social studies and its applicability. Then it moves on to reconstruct the critical comments, identifying the weak and strong points of Goffman’s concept. It discusses other alternative theoretical constructs which build on his work. Finally, the author formulates a reconfiguration of the concept.

Opis:
This paper addresses the topic of informal institutions that remain an unexplored part of the institutional system due to identification, operationalisation, and measurement problems. The author concludes that there is a dire need to develop an approach to analysing the rules that govern entities’ behaviour that are difficult to comprehend, deeply ingrained, and long-lasting. Therefore, based on data from social surveys, the author has constructed ten indices of informal institutions comprising trust, happiness, bonds with relatives, social capital, interest in politics, tolerance, resourcefulness, religiousness, attitudes to work, and attitudes to traditional values. They present a comprehensible picture of countries’ informal institutions and enable the making of comparisons. Later, the author uses the indices to investigate the links between formal and informal institutions in selected European countries and explore their role in providing a stable environment conducive to economic well-being. This is, however, only an example in which informal institutions are vital, and the research can support further studies in various fields. The findings indicate which investigated institutions seem central and worth supporting and which co-occur with lower levels of development.

Opis:
Culture is one of the spheres in which human freedom is realized, and, at the same time, it is one of the main areas of public activity. The Constitution of the Republic of Poland recognizes (in Article 6) culture as the source of the identity of the Polish nation, its duration and development. In Poland, public cultural institutions definitely dominate among the entities operating in the field of culture. These are state and local government organizational units whose primary goal is to conduct cultural activity understood as the creation, dissemination and protection of culture. Cultural activity understood in this way, in accordance with the provisions adopted in Polish law, is not a commercial activity. This study deals with the issue of financing cultural institutions from non-returnable domestic funds. This subject has gained particular importance due to the deepening financial difficulties of cultural institutions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic underway since 2020. An important argument that justifies considering the above-mentioned topic is the lack of sufficient knowledge of practitioners about the methods (sources) of financing cultural institutions. An analysis of the legal regulations regarding the own revenues of cultural institutions, subsidies, sponsorship and finally, aid instruments related to COVID-19 was performed in individual parts of the study. In order to obtain a credible picture of the financial condition of the Polish culture sector, the amount of public funds allocated in our country for its development and protection in 2011–2021 was also examined. The analysis here shows that a characteristic feature of the financing system for Poland’s culture is a large diversification of the possibilities for cultural institutions to obtain non-returnable domestic funds, which can be considered both an advantage and a disadvantage of this system.

Goal – the purpose of the article is to present the significance and role of institutional coherence in the development and evolution of corporate governance in Poland. Research methodology – a review of the literature on examining the specificity of knowledge about the role of institutional coherence in the development and evolution of corporate governance in Poland and analysis and assessment of the changes in good practice codes in Poland. Score/results – a systemic approach to the issue of corporate governance reveals that it is a collection of both formal and informal institutions. Through mutual interac tion, corporate governance rules lead to the emergence of a relatively stable and predictable environment in which enterprises and their stakeholders can operate. Originality/value – analysis of good practice codes in Poland reveals that the process of their adjustment to the current social and cultural norms, as well as to the expectations of the market, can be positively evaluated, as evidenced by the fact that their new editions continue to be published. The provisions which appear in good practice codes year by year adequately reflect the needs and expectations of the market.

Institutions are necessary element of economy and influence the economic activities of entities on the market and growth and economic development. Institutions, which exist in economy, are formal ( e.g. rules, laws, constitutions) and informal ( e.g. norms of behaviours, conventions) . The main aim of this article is to present different concepts of Institutions and their classification and to identify their impact on economic activities of entities. The analysis is based on secondary sources.

Opis:
There are many assets that give companies strength, capabilities, potential, and business advantage over the competition. These assets must be adequately overseen, protected and maintained. One of the examples of such a critical organization resource is information that may have a form of so-called intellectual property. Intellectual property (intangible assets in the form of information) has become significantly important in relation to the processes of international trade development, technology transfers, and globalization. A lot of authors, including many recognized authorities in law, management and/or economics, recognize intangible assets as key resources of the enterprise, that enable achieving a sustainable competitive advantage (the company’s ability to offer more favorable terms and conditions of purchase to its customers, and consequently reap greater benefits than other market players). Hence the need for their adequate protection, especially taking into account multiple threats coming out of globalization of trade and international economic cooperation. Many activities in this area belong to the company itself. However; the legal framework of intellectual property protection that is properly designed can foster the promotion of innovation in industry, and conflict-free operation of international trade. Therefore, the main purpose of this article is to present the role of intangible assets in today’s economy and provide an overview of the major differences in protection and law enforcements provided by state institutions in selected countries. Wherein, the definition of intangible assets - due to width and depth of the research area - has been limited to confidential business information (often also referred to as trade secrets or business secrets). By trade secrets we generally mean undisclosed to the public technical, technological, commercial or organizational information, that an owner has taken the necessary action to maintain its confidentiality. In other words, they are confidential information of commercial or economic value, maintained by their covert nature, where the owner has taken appropriate measures to protect them, for example, by forcing confidential agreements or through restrictive terms of access to essential technical knowledge, such as know-how.

Opis:
Microcredit has been regarded as one of the most powerful tools to address global poverty. More and more financial means is given to the microcredit movement by international institutions, wealthy philanthropists and ordinary people. Yet, strong criticism of this movement appears in which its assumptions are deflated and its effectiveness is challenged. The aim of the article is to reconstruct the most important theoretical and empirical strands in discussion on microcredit as a means to defeat poverty. In this discussion many arguments from different disciplines are presented and their justness depends on specific economic, cultural and religious conditions. Multitude and variety of these arguments seems to enforce the thesis that the question of microcredit’s effectiveness cannot be universally adjudicated because effectiveness differs according to conditions.

The article presents the path of evolution followed by contemporary research institutions. Similarly to business organizations, colleges and universities also evolve toward better access to the broadly defined resources (both tangible and intangible) and development of scientific potential. Consequently, universities strive for a significant place in national and transnational economies. It is a task that requires them to introduce organizational changes. One of these changes, increasingly noticeable no less, is being open to cooperation and willingness to establish relationships based on cooperation. Technological advancement provides, in this regard, a number of solutions and facilities willingly applied by research institutions and their representatives. The authors of the publication, based on the conducted studies, point to the need of establishing cooperative relationships that exceed the boundaries of the organization and to the advantage of this solution in the implementation of scientific and research projects.(original abstract)

Opis:
The article attempts to develop a methodology for a comparative assessment of the economic efficiency of banks, including traditional and Islamic banking models. The assessment shows that the stability of financial institutions in Azerbaijan is lower compared to banks where Islamic banking is used. The assessment also shows that there is a strong dependence of the GDP growth rate on the sub-indices of the effectiveness of financial institutions in Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Iran. The methodology of linear regression and a composite index of the economic efficiency of banks are applied. The assessment shows that the influence of the stability of the financial system on economic growth in Azerbaijan, Iran, and Turkey is different. The economic growth rate and the ratio of bank loans to bank deposits in Azerbaijan and Turkey are positively related, but negatively in Iran.
W artykule podjęto próbę opracowania metodologii oceny porównawczej efektywności ekonomicznej banków, w tym modelu bankowości tradycyjnej i islamskiej. Wyniki oceny wskazują, że stabilność instytucji finansowych w Azerbejdżanie jest niższa w porównaniu z bankami, w których stosuje się bankowość islamską. Jak wynika z oceny, istnieje silna zależność stopy wzrostu PKB od wskaźników częściowych dotyczących skuteczności instytucji finansowych w Azerbejdżanie, Turcji i Iranie. Zastosowano metodologię regresji liniowej i złożony wskaźnik efektywności ekonomicznej banków. Wyniki oceny pokazują, że wpływ stabilności systemu finansowego na wzrost gospodarczy w Azerbejdżanie, Iranie i Turcji jest różny. Ponieważ tempo wzrostu gospodarczego i stosunek kredytów bankowych do depozytów bankowych są dodatnio powiązane w Azerbejdżanie i Turcji, ale negatywnie w Iranie.

Opis:
Labor market inflexibility has long been seen as an important factor with a negative influence on European labor markets. The article aims to present factors determining the flexibility of labor markets in OECD countries, with a special focus on “old” EU member states. The analysis covers both a traditional approach to labor market flexibility based on the relationship between real wages and productivity and an approach covering the institutional aspect of labor market flexibility. The first part of the study examines the growth of flexibility in real wages in relation to labor productivity. The authors make use of data applying to 22 OECD countries. Because economic integration took place in stages, the comparison of wage flexibility was made for two periods, 1970-1986 and 1987-2002. In the next part of the study, with the use of a composite labor market flexibility indicator-based on Strahl’s taxonomy-the authors present the diversification of labor market flexibility in EU countries. The eventual flexibility indicator is based on the following four institutional variables: part-time employment, trade union influence, tax system and compensation. The choice of variables for the labor market flexibility indicator was largely determined by limited access to data. Definitive annual figures for the variables in question were only available for the 1998-2003 period for 16 EU countries (EU-15 plus Poland). The study reveals that there is no significant relationship between real wages and labor productivity in most countries in Europe. However, wage flexibility in relation to labor productivity varies considerably from one country to another depending on the analyzed period. This applies to not only highly developed EU countries, but also the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland. The results of the taxonomy confirm the widespread opinion that Great Britain has the highest labor market flexibility indicator. Denmark, Finland, Belgium and Poland, on the other hand, were classified into a group of countries with the lowest flexibility. Labor market inflexibility in Denmark, Finland and Belgium is additionally confirmed by research conducted by Blanchard and Wolfers (2000) and Dicks and Papadavid (2002).
