Rozwoj sektora B+R a wewnatrzgałeziowa specjalizacja handlowa

The Polish economy is a semi-developed one with a real chance to reduce the distance to highly developed countries. For this to happen, however, an efficient R&D model is among the crucial prerequisites. R&D makes it possible to accelerate structural modernisation and, as a consequence, contributes to increased international competitiveness. This, in turn, in the time of globalisation, can ensure constant economic growth. Nowadays, most countries with a high level of international competitiveness rely on intra-industry specialisation. It seems that Poland has also reached the limit of inter-industry trade expansion, and thus it needs to enhance intraindustry trade. These changes can only be achieved with the help of R&D institutions.
