Abstrakt

Głównym celem artykułu jest porównawcza ocena jakości rządzenia w krajach członkowskich UE w latach 2004–2020 oraz zbadanie jego związku z napływem zagranicznych inwestycji bezpośrednich (ZIB). Badanie podzielono na pięć etapów. Pierwszy, oparty na Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI), jest próbą identyfikacji krajów o podobnym poziomie jakości rządzenia. Na podstawie tego kryterium, stosując statystyczne metody grupowania, podzieliliśmy państwa członkowskie UE na 4 grupy. W drugim etapie wykorzystaliśmy syntetyczny wskaźnik do porównania poziomu jakości rządzenia wśród państw członkowskich UE. Następnie przeanalizowaliśmy napływ ZIB do krajów członkowskich UE. Ze względu na znaczne różnice w tym zakresie podzieliliśmy je również na cztery grupy uszeregowane rosnąco pod względem skumulowanej wartości ZIB w relacji do PKB. W czwartym etapie zbadaliśmy związek między napływem ZIB a zagregowaną wartością jakości rządzenia. Na koniec zbadaliśmy znaczenie sześciu zmiennych częściowych jakości rządzenia dla napływu ZIB do krajów członkowskich UE.

Badanie wykazało, że państwa członkowskie UE różnią się istotnie pod względem jakości rządzenia, mierzonej wskaźnikiem WGI. Wyniki analizy statystycznej dostarczyły podstaw do pozytywnej weryfikacji hipotezy o pozytywnym związku pomiędzy jakością rządzenia a napływem ZIB. Stosunkowo największe znaczenie można przypisać jakości wprowadzanych regulacji.
