1. Modelling the impact of major infrastructure projects on regional development The main goal of the project is an assessment of the impact of big infrastructure projects on regional development. We also want to verify whether the amount of financial means devoted to the big projects is adequate as compared to the real costs associated to their completion. The results of the project will allow to expand the knowledge concerning the relationship between public investment and productivity. 2. Application of regional price deflators in empirical analysis of regional wage determinants and in verification of the New Economic Geography theoretical models assumptions concerning price index. There are two main goals of the project. First, we want to verify the impact of regional price indices on the results of regional wage determinants analyses. Second, we want to verify empirically one of the main assumptions present in the NEG models concerning the price index and develop a model that takes into account new empirical findings. Here, we focus on the supposition that the core regions should have a lower price index of manufacturing goods. 3. Regionalization of national input-output tables based on non-survey methods The main goal of the project is to apply for the first time entropy econometrics into regionalization of national IO tables. Also, we want to compare the outcome of three different non-survey regionalization methods: location quotient based, RAS and entropy econometrics. Finally, we want to compute regional IO tables for Poland based on the regionalization methodology that proves to be the most accurate one.
