Objective: The purpose of this article is to determine the entrepreneurs' perception of formal institutions in Poland as a source of non-productive behaviours. Research Design & Methods: The research methodology was developed based on many years of the teams' research experience. It involved...

Long-run impact of economic growth on fertility trends is ambiguous and sensitive for in-time variations. Noticeably, over last decades, economic growth has led in many countries to significant falls in total fertility rates. However, recently, in highincome economies a kind of 'fertility...

In literature, there is ongoing discussion whether entrepreneurial activity, approximated by, for instance, changes in self-employment, tends to behave pro-cyclically, counter-cyclically or rather is a-cyclical. Thus far, both theoretical and empirical evidence, where various multiple...

This paper draft presents a novel methodological approach to the analysis of the potentially emerging relationships between the intensity of entrepreneurship – approximated by the self-employment, and business cycle. Its main objective is to determine whether the variables defined as proxies...

This paper contributes to the present state of knowledge by providing new evidence on long-term relationships between total fertility rate and its potential determinants, across 17 high-income economies, where the ‘fertility rebound phenomenon' was detected, over the period 1960-2008. First,...
