Spatial Microsimulation of Personal Income in Poland at the Level of Subregions

Abstract

The paper presents an application of spatial microsimulation methods for generating a synthetic population to estimate personal income in Poland in 2011 using census tables and EU-SILC 2011 microdata set. The first section presents a research problem and a brief overview of modern estimation methods in application to small domains with particular emphasis on spatial microsimulation. The second section contains an overview of selected synthetic population generation methods. In the last section personal income estimation on NUTS 3 level is presented with special emphasis on the quality of estimates.

A Spatio-Temporal Analysis of the Health Situation in Poland Based on Functional Discriminant Coordinates

“…The health of inhabitants living in the provinces belonging to cluster I is the best, while that of people living in the provinces belonging to cluster IV is the worst. All the previous studies conducted in Poland show that Western Poland is better developed in socio-economic terms than Eastern Poland (see, for instance, Szymkowiak et al [47], Marchetti et al [48], Roszka [49]). Current research shows that this division is also valid as regards the health situation.…”
