"How increasing investments in R&D would contribute to development of Poland and its regions?"
by Zawalinska, Katarzyna, Adam Ploszaj, Dorota Celinska-Janowicz and Jakub Rok


Abstract
The paper investigates an impact of increasing investments in R&D in Poland by applying regional CGE model. The Europe 2020 strategy sets the target of increasing combined public and private investment in R&D to achieve a level of 3 % of R&D in EU’s GDP by 2020. Currently it is on average 2.1% of GDP in the EU and in Poland only 0.89% of GDP. Specific target established by the EU for Poland to be achieved by year 2020 is 1.7% of GDP. So the policy is very challenging as the R&D expenditure must double in Poland in relatively short time. Yet no specific actions were planned to fulfill the requirement. Hence we simulate several scenarios of possible increase of regional shares of R&D investments in regional GRPs. Regions in Poland differ significantly in their R&D shares in GDP from 0.2% to 1.38%. The main method applied in the paper is a regional CGE model for Poland called POLTERMDyn. Several scenario are analyzed and compared in terms of their imapct on the entire Polish economy, its sectors and on the NUTS2 regions.
