PROINNOVATIVE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN POLAND IN THE SECOND DECADE OF THE 21ST CENTURY IN A STATISTICAL CONTEXT

Abstract

As the aim of regional research is usually a description and an assessment of sets of object, the main two research tasks, presented in many research papers, are assumed to consist of grouping and linear ordering. This paper is part of author’s series of publications devoted to the findings of the proposed original concept that allows for joint consideration of regional innovation and regional development. Proinnovative regional development is a term introduced for a certain overriding criterion enabling the author to consider the discussed multidimensional economic categories together in the mutual relationship and not, like so far, separately. The aim of the article is to present the quantification of this research area and its statistical analysis using the methods of linear ordering at the regional level in Poland.
