Financial And Non-financial Factors Motivating Individual Donors To Support Public Benefit Organizations Waniak-Michalak, Halina; Zarzycka, Ewelina This study is aimed at determining how the financial data of public benefit organizations (PBOs) affects donations received by them and if the donors use financial and non-financial information in order to donate. In order to achieve our aim we used different methods of research: quantitative research (econometric model and survey) and qualitative research (laboratory test). The research allowed us to draw the conclusion that Polish donors make very limited use of PBOs’ financial statements in the donation process and that non-financial information plays greater role for donors in making decisions to give charitable donations. The most important information is the organization's goals and descriptions of its projects. At the same time, many donors stated that they donated under the influence of people they knew. This article fits into the scope of world research on PBOs and uses the concept of civil society.

Reflections On Employment Protection Legislation: An International Comparison Amine, Samir In Europe, as in the rest of industrialized countries, reforms of the labour market have generally concerned employment protection legislation (EPL). One of the main missions of this legislation is to insure security for workers, particularly in case of redundancy. The object of this article is to compare the strictness and the degree of rigidity of EPL in two different economies, namely, Canada and France. This choice is justified by the fact that the labour market policies in both countries do not have the same orientation and are based on different ideological references.

Modelling Of Eco-innovation Diffusion: The EU Eco-label Kijek, Tomasz The aim of this article is to carry out a theoretical and empirical analysis of the process of eco-label diffusion. Eco-labels allow consumers to identify products and services that have a reduced environmental impact during their life cycle. Thus, they are aimed at diminishing the information gap between sellers and buyers. The results of the estimation using the Bass model indicate that the diffusion of the EU eco-label has been most dynamic in countries such as Hungary, Poland, Denmark, Germany and France. In turn, the scope of diffusion (absolute saturation level) reached the highest value for companies in France and Italy. In addition, the results of the study confirm the stimulating impact of the scope of eco-label diffusion on consumer awareness of environmental issues. This finding points to the need for environmental education among consumers, which could in turn encourage firms to undertake pro-environmental actions.

The Impact Of The Global Financial And Economic Crisis Convergence Process In OECD Countries Greta, Marianna; Lewandowski, Krzysztof This paper analyzes the issue of convergence in OECD countries and tries to assess the effect of financial crisis on the process of convergence. In other words it will consider whether the global financial crisis pulled the economies of the organization together or pushed them apart. It tries to show whether the present crisis has had a similar effect on the convergence process as the Great Depression had 80 years ago. It will analyze the most important macroeconomic data from the period 2007–2012 and use a simple econometric model to establish the relationships and, in conclusion, compare the similarities and differences between these two economic events.
