2 1. Indicator profile Metadata Description Name of the indicator Domain Economic domain Theme Socio-economic development Area Economic development Definition The sum of the absolute differences between regional (NUTS 3), and the national value of GDP per capita, weighted with the share of the population of each region, expressed as a percentage of national GDP per capita. The value of regional differentiation of GDP per capita is zero if the value of regional GDP is the same in all regions of the country and shows an increase if the differences between the values of regional GDP per capita among regions increase, ceteris not changed. Eurostat calculates and publishes the indicator on the basis of regional GDP per capita in PPS (Purchasing Power Standard). Available dimensions Unit of measurement % Page 2

3 Methodological explanations Gross domestic product presents the final result of activities of all entities of the national economy in the given year. It can be defined in three ways: - from the production side it is equal to the value added of all institutional sectors or all sections of the Polish Classification of Activities (PKD) of domestic production units increased by taxes on products and decreased by subsidies on products, - from the distribution side GDP is calculated as the sum of domestic demand, i.e. consumption and accumulation and trade balance with other countries, - as the sum of expenditures on the generation of income account of the total economy (that is, compensation of employees, taxes on production and imports less subsidies, gross operating surplus and mixed income of the total economy). Purchasing Power Parity is a kind of exchange rate, which is used to convert economic indicators expressed in national currencies to a common contractual currency. It eliminates the impact of differences in price levels between countries participating in the survey, and thus allows a direct comparison of the volume of GDP and its components. Purchasing Power Parity is calculated, among other, within the international comparisons program conducted by the European Union. A common contractual currency accepted in the European Union is the Purchasing Power Standard). The value of 1 PPS is equal to the number of units of a country's currency equivalent to 1 euro on the domestic market, taking into account country's relative prices to the prices of other countries participating in the comparison. The indicator is presented according to the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistical Purposes (NTS), elaborated on the basis of the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics, obligatory in European Union countries. NTS classification is based on three-tier division of the country. NTS divides Poland into 5 levels (of which levels 1-3 are regional levels, while levels 4-5 are local levels): level 1 regions, level 2 voivodships, level 3 subregions, level 4 powiats and cities with powiat status, level 5 gminas. Strategic documents; monitored goals National Strategic Reference Framework : Objective 5. Increase of the competitiveness of Polish regions and preventing their social, economic and territorial marginalization (horizontal objective) Significance for sustainable development Dispersion of regional GDP per capita reflects a diversity of economic development between the subregions (NUTS 3). Reducing regional disparities in economic development is the core of sustainable development and is a challenge for the EU. Reference to sustainable development principles included in the Rio Declaration. The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development Principle 5 All states and all people shall cooperate in the essential task of eradicating poverty as an indispensable requirement for sustainable development, in order to decrease the disparities in standards of living and better meet the needs of the majority of the people of the world.
