Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyse the correlation between public intervention in Poland within the Regional Operational Programmes and the key macroeconomic variables for the sustainable development of regions, i.e., the labour market, with particular emphasis on the unemployment rate and the level of employment; the average monthly remuneration; the residential construction market, with particular emphasis on the number of permits issued for the construction of apartments and the number of apartments under construction. The research and the analyses carried out on the basis of the above-mentioned aspects made it possible to indicate the relations between the studied macroeconomic indicators and the EU funds spending in Polish provinces, which will enable the implementation of the sustainable development policy. The capitals used in the research process are very important components of the region’s and country’s sustainable development. In the research, a calculation methodology was applied based on the analysis of time variability of the examined determinants, their correlation and regression relationships. The tools and methods of data analysis used allowed the quantification of the relationship between the macroeconomic determinants studied and the pace and value of payments made. The conducted analyses have shown a positive influence of the payments made in Poland within the framework of Regional Operational Programmes on selected macroeconomic indicators, i.e., regional economic and social-institutional capitals. The research results obtained may have a practical decision-making aspect for regional and national authorities responsible for the disbursement of EU funds.
