Institute for Structural Research

Welcome

Welcome to the website of the Institute for Structural Research (IBS) - an independent research foundation, which aim is to conduct and support research in the fields of economy, mathematics and applied IT.

We encourage you to take a look at our activities and read about the projects we carried out.

Analysis of the impact of investments in social infrastructure on Silesia voivodeship's economic growth

The report from the research Analysis of the impact of investments in social infrastructure on Silesia voivodeship's economic growth is available here.

Varmia and Masuria 2020 - growth scenarios and prognostic simulation tool kit

Within the project two reports were prepared: Analysis of the condition and SME's section development directions in the Varmia and Masuria voivodeship and Analysis of the changes in the macroeconomic environment of the Varmia and Masuria voivodeship in the period of 1995-2008

With the paper Changes in the new pension system vs public debt and deficit - problem identification and ways out, prapared by PhD Maciej Bukowski, PhD Agnieszka Ch³oń-Domińczak and Professor Marek Góra we inaugurate the series of short papers dedicated to particular problems of socio-economic policy and formulating well-considered, precise suggestions of their solution.

In practice, Poland's public debate often lacks the moment of deeper thought on a particular issue as well as systematized consideration of its possible solutions. Works from the IBS Policy Papers series assume taking up difficult topics which solutions should be the subject of social agreement and which complexity precludes from formulating simple, universal formulas. We hope that the series will provide not only with objective problem diagnosis but the solutions suggested by us become the sources of inspiration for all the readers.

Be welcome to read the first of the papers from the series, dedicated to ardently discussed lately changes in the pension system.

Impact of cohesion policy realization on forming main indicators of strategic papers - National Development Plan 2004-2006 and National Cohesion Strategy 2007-2013 as well as other chosen macroeconomic indicators at regional and country's level

The first part of the annual report within the project Impact of cohesion policy realization on forming main indicators of strategic papers - National Development Plan 2004-2006 and National Cohesion Strategy 2007-2013 as well as other chosen macroeconomic indicators at regional and country's level came out.

Identification and delimitation of problematic and strategic intervention areas in Poland

A report summarizing the research project that has been realised together by the Institute for Structural Research and Department of Supra-Regional Programmes of the Ministry of Regional Development was publicized. Within the work a diagnosis of Poland's regional diversity was presented as well as an original author's idea to separate probematic and strategic intervention areas. Results of the analyses will constitute crucial substantial contribution to the currently emerging Country's Regional Development Strategy for 2010-2020.
