Descripción
The main research objective was to assess the efficiency and effectiveness, in some theoretical
approaches considered as a type of efficiency, of EU financial support affecting the
entrepreneurship development in rural areas of Poland.
Descriptive and comparative analysis of basic statistics and Gini coefficient as well as the
econometric model of absolute beta convergence were applied as e research methods. The
analysis utilised the data from Central Statistical Office, Local Data Bank, for 2004-2013 for
1,529 rural counties.
General conclusion of the paper is that EU financial support had a positive and statistically
significant impact on local absolute beta convergence. Moreover, the analyses confirmed
that the higher level of support from the EU budget accelerates an increase in the number
of private enterprises, micro-enterprises and the number of the employees. It also slows
down the processes of growth in the number of the unemployed. However this is the short time
effect.
