    Moderating analysis of financial policy, real interest rate and economic performance in Middle East & North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa Countries / Analiza moderacyjna polityki finansowej, realnej stopy procentowej i wyników gospodarczych w krajach Bliskiego Wschodu i Afryki Północnej oraz Afryki Subsaharyjskiej
    (Akademia Bialska im. Jana Pawła II, 2025-04-09) Osegbue, Ifeanyi Francis ; Abobaker, Mohmed ; Obiora, Fabian ; John-Akamelu, Chitom Racheal ; Obasi, John Ogbonnia ; Nwoye, Chizoba Mary ; Onyeogubalu, Ogochukwu Nkiru
    Subject and purpose of work: This study investigates the interplay between financial policy and real interest rates and their impact on economic performance in MENA and SSA countries. It aims to determine whether financial policy supports economic performance and how its interaction with real interest rates amplifies or moderates its effect. Materials and methods: The research applies both static (Pooled OLS and Fixed Effects) and dynamic systems GMM estimation techniques on a panel dataset of 70 countries across 21 years (2000-2020). Results: Results indicate that domestic credit to the private sector by banks positively contributes to economic performance, with real interest rates intensifying this effect. However, real interest rates, when combined with domestic credit, show both positive and negative net effects on economic performance, especially in financially constrained economies with low and negative real interest rates. Conclusions: Notably, thresholds for real interest rates–such as 5.5%–are identified, above which the net impact on economic performance can shift from negative to positive.

    Reform of the bridging pension system – new rights and their economic consequences / Reforma systemu emerytur pomostowych – nowe uprawnienia i ich ekonomiczne konsekwencje
    (Akademia Bialska im. Jana Pawła II, 2025-04-09) Kolek, Antoni Jerzy
    Subject and purpose of work: This research aims to determine the economic consequences of making bridging pensions permanent. We predict that this will increase the number of beneficiaries and the overall cost of the program. Materials and methods: The presented study is the result of research in which the author used both quantitative methods (analysis of statistical data) and analysis of legal acts together with analysis of the legislative process. Results: The change in the regulations on bridging pensions will improve the situation of people working in difficult conditions, but is associated with a significant increase in budget expenditure and loss of revenue from contributions. Conclusions: The expiring nature of bridging pensions was the result of regulations, not case law. Although the change is in line with the recommendations of the ILO and the EC, its removal is more political and short-term in nature, burdened with long-term consequences for the state.

    (Akademia Bialska im. Jana Pawła II, 2025-04-09) Mroczek-Czetwertyńska, Agnieszka Ewa ; Marcinkowski, Jakub Mateusz ; Czetwertyński, Sławomir Olgierd
    Subject and purpose of work: The aim of the article is to determine which elements of the transport infrastructure in a resort town are considered important by respondents in assessing tourist accessibility. The study focuses on economic and spatial aspects. Materials and methods: Exploratory factor analysis was used for the analysis, based on data collected through a CAWI questionnaire from a random sample of 1,000 Poles. Results: Four key areas of infrastructure were identified: general, bicycle transport, public transport, and amenities for people with disabilities. Conclusions: The transport accessibility of a resort town is largely determined by the quality of the general infrastructure. Tourists prefer individual transport, highlighting the importance of well developed road infrastructure. Bicycle infrastructure and public transport also play significant roles, especially for tourists who prefer active and ecological means of transport. Amenities for people with disabilities are crucial for ensuring equal access to tourist attractions.

    Feminism-based rural development in India: changing perspectives and way ahead / Rozwój obszarów wiejskich w Indiach oparty na feminizmie: Zmieniające się perspektywy i dalsze działania
    (Akademia Bialska im. Jana Pawła II, 2025-04-09) Gothwal, Pooja ; Siwach, Manoj
    Subject and purpose of work: This paper reflects that change needs to be conceptualized as a process in which women are active agents or natural participants. It examines microfinance through three dimensions of social change, analyzing its role in addressing gender inequities and economic marginalization. Materials and methods: The study is based on a comprehensive review of literature on microfinance, feminism, and social change, analyzing its impact on women’s empowerment. It applies feminist theories to assess whether microfinance alleviates or reinforces gender disparities. Results: Scholars and policymakers have different perspectives on the effectiveness of microfinance programs. Proponents of microfinance see it as empowering women through economic activities, while critics argue it fosters exploitation by increasing debt burdens. Conclusion: The study concludes that the effectiveness of microfinance in empowering women depends on structural and policy frameworks, requiring feminist-informed policies to address systemic issues for sustainable social change and gender equity.

    Analysis of the impact of RCEP implementation on global trade – a simulation based on the dynamic GTAP / Model analiza wpływu wdrożenia RCEP na handel światowy – symulacja oparta na dynamicznym modelu GTAP
    (Akademia Bialska im. Jana Pawła II, 2025-04-09) Ming, Xiaoqing
    Subject and purpose of work: This paper divides the world into 10 countries or regions based on the member states of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP), and categorizes industries into 10 major sectors according to the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC). Materials and methods: Using the dynamic GTAP model, it analyzes the macroeconomic and micro-industry effects on both regional and non-member countries when import tariffs are reduced to zero among RCEP member states. Results: Imulation results indicate that after tariff reductions, member countries experience GDP growth, improved trade conditions, increased social welfare, and significant gains in member country benefits. Conclusions: Each industry in member countries is affected to varying degrees, allowing countries to leverage their industrial advantages, enhance value-added products, and shift trade from outside the region to within the region.

    The importance of corporate social responsibility (csr) for msp companies in Poland: benefits, barriers and good practice examples / Znaczenie społecznej odpowiedzialności biznesu (CSR) dla przedsiębiorstw z sektora MSP: korzyści, bariery i przykłady dobrych praktyk
    (Akademia Bialska im. Jana Pawła II, 2025-04-09) Apanel, Adrian Paweł
    Subject and purpose of the work: The subject of the study was corporate social responsibility (CSR) in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Poland. In turn, the aim of the study was to identify the benefits and barriers associated with the introduction of CSR in SMEs and to present the practices applied by such enterprises in the indicated scope. Materials and methods: A desk research analysis was carried out in this article, using data from PARP statistics, reports and scientific publications. Results: The findings address the awareness of CSR among SMEs and present examples of good practice by these companies. The role of the upcoming ESG and CSRD regulations, which are expected to influence sustainability reporting by SMEs, is highlighted. The research shows that the level of recognition of the term CSR among Polish SMEs is low. Only 21.8% of surveyed entrepreneurs were aware of the term. Nevertheless, among companies aware of the importance of CSR, the majority perceive it as an important element of business activity. Among the CSR practices applied by Polish SMEs, those related to employee health are mentioned most frequently. Many companies also engage in dialogue with employees in order to better understand their needs and adapt their activities to them. There is also a growing environmental awareness among entrepreneurs, which translates into the implementation of pro-environmental solutions. Conclusions: The low level of CSR awareness among SMEs in Poland indicates the need for further educational activities in this area. Implementing CSR in SMEs brings many benefits, such as improving the company’s image, increasing customer and employee loyalty, reducing operating costs and increasing competitiveness. However, there are barriers to implementing this strategy, such as limited funds, lack of knowledge, insufficient staff and competitive pressure, among others.

    Impact of fuel subsidies on economic growth in energy- exporting countries: analysis with panel data / Wpływ subsydiów paliwowych na wzrost gospodarczy w krajach eksportujących energię: Analiza danych panelowych
    (Akademia Bialska im. Jana Pawła II, 2025-04-09) Laissouf, Samir ; Lahouel, kamel
    Subject and purpose of work: This study aims to measure the impact of fuel subsidy on economic growth in 2010-2020. Materials and methods: The panel model was used in the study to calculate the variables of fuel subsidies as a percentage of GDP and annual GDP growth per person for 11 energy producers and exporters. Results: the study showed that fuel subsidies had a significant adverse effect on economic growth, with a 1% increase in fuel subsidies leading to a 0.19% drop in growth in the sample nations. Conclusions: The findings are consistent with previous studies results and support the view that the policy of fuel subsidies hurts economic growth channels. This study attempted to measure fuel subsidies using the price GAP approach, which allows for estimating the levels of internal energy prices and specific reference prices, such as international energy prices or the price of production cost recovery.

    Trade and FDI effects in Eurasia: the cases of RCEP and EAEU / Efekty handlu i bezpośrednich inwestycji zagranicznych w Eurazji: przypadki RCEP i EAEU
    (Akademia Bialska im. Jana Pawła II, 2025-04-09) Petrushkevich, Alena ; Rudy, Kiryl
    Subject and purpose of work: The overview of trade and FDI effects in 2019-2023 in two biggest integration communities of Eurasia: Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) with 15 members (including ASEAN) and Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) with 5 countries (including Russia). Materials and methods: The analysis of export, import, and trade balances showed asymmetric trade effects for the RCEP-countries that are focused on regional, intraregional, extra regional trade. Results: It’s proved that the signing of RCEP agreement raised attractiveness of the region for the FDI. In its contrast, the EAEU has refocused its trade effects on mutual trade with the significant role of Russia as the main FDI investor due to the decoupling from the West. Conclusions: The difference in economic scale and political effects between RCEP & EAEU reflects different motivation and the barriers for bilateral trade and investment cooperation in the future.
