Dobór zmiennych diagnostycznych służących analizie poziomu rozwoju województw jako gospodarek opartych na wiedzy

Abstract

One of the most important issues connected with the knowledge-based economy (KBE) phenomenon is its measuring. There is no one universally accepted definition of KBE so there is no internationally agreed framework for measuring the extent to which an economy or society is knowledge-based. The aim of this article is to propose and try to assess the value of the indicators, which can be used to measure the knowledge economy in Polish regions (Voivodships). In the first section of the paper the formal criteria of choosing indicators are described. In the second part the definitions and the most popular methodologies of KBE measuring are presented. And in the last part the author proposes the indicators, which can be used for the measurement of the regions based on knowledge level.
