Abstract

Der Beitrag betrachtet die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Regionen und bestimmt Faktoren, die darauf Einfluss haben. Es wird versucht, die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der Regionen Polens mit einem zusammenfassenden Index zu messen, der dem Ansatz des Huggin’s Instituts entspricht. Ziel dieses Artikels ist es, sowohl die 16 Regionen (Woiwodschaften) Polens nach deren Wettbewerbsfähigkeit zu ordnen als auch festzustellen, ob der Huggin’s Ansatz geeignet ist, die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit polnischer Regionen zu messen. Außerdem soll dieser Artikel einen Beitrag zur Diskussion um die aktuelle Situation der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der Regionen in Polen leisten. Copyright The Author(s) 2008
