“…The above modus operandi is critical as after traditional barriers to trade got eliminated with the creation of the customs union, which was followed by the elimination of more advanced non-tariff barriers, including physical, technical, and fiscal barriers, when internal market was launched, the only protectionist and interventionist instrument left in the hands of the member states is state aid. Therefore, it seems that especially during crisis periods strong supranational institutions and their indispensability for the preservation of the single market make the EU competition policy a fundamental pillar of the EU economic policy [Dierx, Ilzkovitz, 2021].…”

Nieustanna ewolucja procesów w gospodarce światowej, skutki wydarzeń niewpisujących się w tradycyjne i stosunkowo łatwo przewidywane cykle, takich jak epidemia COVID-19, manipulacje na rynku gazu, imponujące tempo zmian polityki klimatycznej i środowiskowej czy w końcu dramat wojny w Ukrainie – to problemy, które nie zostały jeszcze przedstawione w pełni, niemniej nie istnieją one w próżni, stąd wiele z zawartych w niniejszej publikacji tekstów można postrzegać jako solidny punkt odniesienia do kolejnych przedsięwzięć badawczych. W tej książce uwagę kierujemy w stronę tych efektów, których badanie umożliwiają dostępne dane. Przedstawione obserwacje i analizy potwierdzają wielość oraz złożoność wyzwań, z jakimi mierzy się światowa gospodarka, pokazując jednocześnie, jak znacząco wzrósł zakres i katalog czynników determinujących występujące w niej zjawiska.

“…Fair competition stimulates economic performance (Teece, 2020), and offers consumers a wider choice of products and services that tend to correspond to better quality at more competitive prices. Therefore, it is important to correctly define the conditions, goals, and effects of different regulatory and competition policy options when comparing alternative or complementary market and non-market arrangements (Tian, 2020;Dierx, 2021). Assuming that institutions and policies affect the degree of competition in the market, it must be ensured that effective environmental policies do not affect the functioning and structure of the market-even indirectly, e.g., by reducing incentives for innovation (Charreire, 2021).…”

Governance of waste management is historically based on local issues, with different applications and rules across countries. To meet the increasing number of circular economic goals, countries worldwide are seeking to improve the efficiency of waste management markets in terms of environmental performance and cost efficiency. For this market to effectively move toward a more circular perspective, sound reforms are needed at the market design level. We suggest that a system operator should be introduced in the industry to coordinate and support the healthy functioning of the market. We develop our idea starting from lessons learned from the energy market that apply governance characteristics and environmental goals. Focusing on the industry structure, we identify tasks and duties that a waste management system operator should perform to boost the transition toward a more circular economy. Our proposal has policy ramifications, with the most important identifying an appropriate legal entity. The study has managerial implications, and we suggest that a system operator is needed for reporting environmental results, ensuring the universality of service, planning and monitoring environmental goals, and supporting local authorities, as well as other coordination activities. These activities will facilitate a move toward a more circular economy, addressing issues concerning the complexity of waste management industries, markets, and outputs.

Lockdowns imposed by the European Union (EU) Member States produced significant consequences in the form of losses to companies, which is why the Member States decided to assist businesses from public funds. This paper aims to identify and initially assess the implementation of schemes under which coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)-related state aid was granted in Poland in 2020 for different instruments and beneficiary sizes. The idea was to find out how well aforementioned schemes responded to the needs of companies affected the most by the COVID-19-inflicted crisis. To this end, statistical analysis was deployed to learn about the share of individual groups of businesses of different sizes in support instruments granted in relation with COVID-19 by type of aid. The study helped to demonstrate that Polish aid schemes approved by the European Commission in 2020 assisted mainly micro- and small-sized companies, which usually suffered from poor liquidity, by predominantly soft instruments.
