Abstrakty

Praca przedstawia wyniki grupowania regionów Unii Europejskiej szczebla NUTS 2 dokonanego na podstawie struktury zatrudnienia w usługach biznesowych opartych na wiedzy, rozpatrywanej w trzech sekcjach: usługi wysokich technologii, usługi marketingowe oraz pozostałe usługi biznesowe oparte na wiedzy, w powiązaniu z poziomem PKB na mieszkańca. Analizę przeprowadzono dla lat 2008 i 2018. Do grupowania regionów z punktu widzenia struktury zatrudnienia wykorzystano aglomeracyjną metodę Warda (do identyfikacji liczby grup) oraz metodę k-średnich (dla uzyskania ostatecznego podziału). Dla oceny podobieństwa podziałów oraz związków pomiędzy strukturą zatrudnienia w analizowanych usługach biznesowych a poziomem i dynamiką rozwoju gospodarczego zastosowano miarę podobieństwa podziałów zbioru skończonego. (abstrakt oryginalny)

EN

The study presents the results of grouping EU NUTS 2 regions based on the share of employment in particular sectors (knowledge-intensive high-technology services, knowledge-intensive market services and other knowledge-intensive services), as well as GDP per capita, in 2008 and 2018. The grouping of regions was done by clustering methods (for structure data), including Ward's method to determine the number of groups and the k-means for the final partition. GDP groups were defined using a sample mean and one standard deviation. To assess the similarity of the classifications and, consequently, to evaluate correlations between the employment structures and the level and pace of economic development, the similarity measure for partitions proposed by Sokołowski was used.
