“…Poland seems to be a "non-ICT country" just as Italy is, but this could be the result of narrow definitions of ICT capital used in these countries. The narrow definition of ICT capital in Poland was adopted because it can be assessed in this way from the supply and use tables (SUT), thanks to the structure of software services (see: Błażej, 2016 and2018a) and this technique cannot be reliably used if the ICT capital is defined widely 33 . At the same time, however, the case of Finland, where we have seen the fall of Nokia impacting the entire ICT industry in this country, suggests that there is some rationale behind the figures (after the fall of Nokia Finland became relatively a non-ICT country as can be seen on the graph).…”

The aim of the article is to present the main body of the KLEMS growth accounting recently implemented in Poland. The works on the KLEMS productivity accounting in Poland started in 2013 and focused on areas such as the development of methodology and the availability and assessment of data. These efforts enabled preparing KLEMS data sets pertaining to the Polish economy and moreover proved that unavailable data can be effectively estimated. Additionally, interesting but complex and debatable results were obtained, such as labour hoarding together with remunerations' freezing around the 2009 crisis, accompanied by a natural drop in the capital contribution growth and an increase in the MFP contribution, which most probably indicated effective reorganizations in the economy. In the years 2012−2014, increasing labour and capital contributions did not fully translate into gross value added growth, which led to negative MFP growths, as these are calculated residually. This, however, changed completely in the last two years of the time span covered by the research, namely in 2015-2016. An industry-level analysis became also possible, showing that the Polish economy was developing dynamically and undergoing intensive modernisation, which was obtained, however, with a debatable contribution of the State. To study the debatable features of the Polish economy in a greater detail, a further decomposition of the labour factor growth into four sub-factor contributions instead of two sub-factor contributions was performed. This additional analysis confirmed that labour hoarding phenomenon specific for Poland contributed to a softer impact of the 2007−09 financial crisis on this country's economy.

Evidence for Middle‐Income Trap Non‐occurrence in the Light of KLEMS Growth Accounting for Poland☆

There is an ongoing discussion that many middle-income countries are on the brink of the so-called Middle-income Trap, if not already stuck in it. The case of the Polish economy is analyzed, as an example of a Central-Eastern Europe economy, to solve whether this is actually happening. Thanks to KLEMS growth accounting datasets published by Statistics Poland an analysis on this issue became feasible, showing that for Poland the assertion of the middle-income trap threat has to be rejected after observing the growth distribution between industries, and particularly their growth decompositions into factor and MFP contributions. Extending this research to some other countries may possibly confirm that, just as for Poland, this "trap" is not taking place (or the converse). Although not solving the theoretical nexus on the middle-income trap notion, these findings can be interesting for Central-Eastern Europe economies' researchers and the possible ongoing discussion.

Objective: Tobacco production experienced a gradual growth during the first half of the 20th century, but its increase has been truncated in the last four decades. The objective of the study is to analyze the productivity of tobacco in Mexico in order to certify its importance in Mexican society and to measure its productivity. Design/methodology/approach: The article presents an analysis of tobacco’s productivity in Mexico in the 1980-2020 period, through the KLEMS methodology. Analysis of census samples from the period studied has confirmed the decrease experienced by this agricultural production. Results: The importance of production has been visibly decreased within macroeconomic factors such as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which leads to a loss of participation of this agricultural product both in the national and international context. This has resulted in the contraction, in addition, ostensibly, of the number of jobs that are directly related to this agricultural activity and the ulterior consequences that come up for the family economy. Limitations on study/implications: The statistical records from the period 1980 to 2020 were taken into account, since there were no records available before 1980. Findings/conclusions: Through the research results, the decrease experienced by the tobacco industry from 1980 to 2020 was confirmed, and also that production will disappear at the industrial level.
