THE INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL OF POLISH COUNTRYSIDE AND THE LEVEL OF LIFE IN RURAL AREAS

Journal Title: Roczniki Naukowe Stowarzyszenia Ekonomistów Rolnictwa i Agrobiznesu - Year 2015, Vol 17, Issue 6

Abstract

The article was aimed to answer the question of whether there is a relationship between the intellectual capital of the countryside inhabitants and the level of living in rural areas. The analysis was carried out for Polish provinces in 2013. All empirical data were derived from public statistics. Due to the complex nature of both categories, the evaluations of their levels were based on the synthetic variables. Because some distributions of variables have been asymmetrical, the positional models of Hellwig’s development measure were used. The measures of development for both categories were highly diversified so they formed the basis of the typology. Based on the synthetic measure of development the rankings of regions were created. Then the provinces were also divided and classified into similar groups. In order to test the hypothesis about the relationship between the intellectual capital and the level of living in rural areas, the correlation between the values of measures of development was analysed. The concordance of rankings was verified as well. None of the studies confirmed no statistically significant relationship between the considered categories.<br/><br/>
