dc.description.abstract | The study explores the subject of sectoral competitiveness on the example of gas sectors in different European countries. Literature review on sectoral competitiveness suggests that the concept has evolved considerably over time and that contemporary definitions of competitiveness span beyond traditional economic factors. Studies on gas sector in this context to date, however, have largely focused on export competitiveness of upstream activities. To address the research gap, a targeted approach is suggested to study and compare competitiveness of the entire national gas sectors, spanning beyond standard productivity measures. A dedicated synthetic indicator is designed to perform a comparative analysis of contemporary gas sectors, taking account of the gas price offered to the industry, institutional performance, infrastructure readiness and job creation potential. Then, the case study is presented and it examines four countries that have liberalized their gas sectors and are reliant on gas imports to a different degree. Results confirm that the application of a synthetic indicator factoring in different aspects of sectoral competitiveness is appropriate to arrive at a holistic view of gas sector’s relative performance. The significance of the institutional setup is also confirmed from the perspective of inducing investment, enhancing market liquidity, as well as creating sustainable jobs in the gas sector. | en |
dc.description.abstract | Badaniu poddane zostało zagadnienie konkurencyjności sektorowej na przykładzie sektora gazu ziemnego w wybranych krajach Europy. Literatura przedmiotu z ostatnich lat wskazuje na ewolucję definicji zjawiska konkurencyjności, które wykraczają obecnie poza zagadnienia stricte ekonomiczne. Mimo to, badania sektora gazu ziemnego w tym zakresie skupiały się dotychczas na konkurencyjności eksportu i działalności wydobywczej. By zapełnić tę lukę badawczą, Autor przeprowadził analizę obejmującą cały sektor gazu ziemnego, odwołującej się do miar spoza tradycyjnego zestawu miar produktywności. Stworzono dedykowaną miarę syntetyczną, która ma umożliwiać analizę porównawczą współczesnych sektorów gazu ziemnego, uwzględniająca ceny oferowane odbiorcom końcowym, efektywność instytucjonalną, stopień rozwoju infrastruktury oraz potencjał do kreacji nowych miejsc pracy. Następnie zaprezentowano wyniku studium przypadku obejmującego cztery kraje, które zliberalizowały sektor gazu ziemnego, a przy tym w różnym stopniu pozostają zależne od importu tego surowca. Wyniki potwierdzają przydatność miernika syntetycznego do kompleksowej analizy względnej pozycji konkurencyjnej danego sektora gospodarki. Wyniki potwierdzają również znaczenie struktury instytucjonalnej z perspektywy promowania nowych inwestycji, budowania płynności rynku gazu ziemnego oraz potencjału do tworzenia trwałych miejsc pracy. | pl |
