Purpose: The purpose of this article is to present the disparities of Poland's economic development in 2000-2020 by NUTS-2 units, using selected economic indicators. Design/methodology/approach: The following methods are used in the article: critical literature analysis and statistical data analysis using selected statistical tools. Based on data obtained from the Local Data Bank of Statistics Poland (GUS), the level of regional characteristics is calculated such as: the output of production (GDP), GDP per capita and the value and share of the industrial sector in the total output. The analysis covered 16 Provinces in the period of 2000-2020. Findings: The analysis of selected variables in the analyzed years confirmed the regional disparities in Poland between Provinces, and the leading role of the Mazowieckie Province. Research limitations/implications: The research performed in the article represents only one aspect of the assessment of regional disparities. The complete research picture can be obtained by using other tools of statistical analysis and additional variables of socio-economic and environmental development. Practical implications: Knowledge of the mechanisms and regularities of regional development is the basis for the formation of policies that would ensure, on the one hand, high and sustainable development dynamics and, on the other, lead to the reduction of regional inequalities. Social implications: Regional inequalities, manifested through social inequalities, are a natural and - to some extent - acceptable phenomenon. However, excessive economic inequalities lead to conflicts and tensions in societies. Therefore, one of the objectives of economic and social policy of the state should be the reduction of regional inequalities to achieve sustainable development and improvement of the quality of life in the country. Originality/value: The analysis herein used the most recent statistical data of selected variables and statistical tools. Thus, it can be another element towards recognizing the regularities of regional disparities in the Polish economy at the regional level.

The paper examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on macroeconomic activity in the selected European countries. The studies are based on monthly and quarterly indicators of GDP, unemployment rates and key indicators of the tourism sector. To present how COVID-19 has affected these macroeconomic variables, statistic data from the three periods are compared. Namely, data are collected from the pre-pandemic period, i.e. the fourth quarter of 2019 as the reference period, the second period covers the first quarter of 2020 and means the beginning of the pandemic, and the third one covers second quarter of 2020, during which the pandemic has spread to all the analyzed countries. The following statistical techniques are used in the research: regression analysis, the hierarchical grouping of agglomerations, k-means method, and selected non-parametric tests (Kruskal-Wallis test for a selected group of countries and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for a selected pair of countries). The results show the significant impact of the pandemic on the level of gross domestic product, unemployment rate and turism sector. In most cases, a correlation between incidence of COVID-19 infections, unemployment rate and GDP is observed. The statistical techniques also allow to demonstrate the similarities and differences in the response of the economies to the COVID-19 pandemic. Central Statistical Offices of the selected countries are the main data source and for all calculations Statistica version 13.3. is used.
