dc.description.abstractA sustainable energy sector is crucial for a country’s stable and environmentally friendly socioeconomic development. Economic security (ES), the basis for the functioning of the state, is one of the major factors affecting the development. The objective of this article is to examine how ES influenced the sustainable development of the energy sector in the Visegrad Group countries, i.e., Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Czechia, over the period spanning from 2008 to 2020. To evaluate a meaningful relationship between the indicators (p < 0.05), we used correlation coefficients, the ordinary least squares method, and the seemingly unrelated regression model. The findings indicate that ES impacts the sustainable development of the energy sector, where positive results can be achieved by implementing coordinated macroeconomic policies. Green energy sources and renewable energy are crucial in this process.en
dc.description.abstractZrównoważony rozwój sektora energetycznego ma kluczowe znaczenie dla stabilnego i zrównoważonego rozwoju społeczno-ekonomicznego kraju, w harmonii z ochroną środowiska naturalnego. Jednym z czynników wpływających na jego poziom jest bezpieczeństwo ekonomiczne, które jest podstawą funkcjonowania państwa. Głównym celem artykułu jest ocena wpływu bezpieczeństwa ekonomicznego na zrównoważony rozwój sektora energetycznego w krajach Grupy Wyszehradzkiej, czyli w Czechach, na Węgrzech, w Polsce i na Słowacji, w latach 2008–2020. Aby ocenić statystycznie istotną zależność między wskaźnikami (p < 0,05), wykorzystano współczynniki korelacji, metodę najmniejszych kwadratów oraz model SUR. Wyniki badań wskazują, że bezpieczeństwo ekonomiczne ma wpływ na zrównoważony rozwój sektora energetycznego. Zaleca się koordynację polityki makroekonomicznej w celu osiągnięcia pozytywnych rezultatów w sektorze energetycznym. Energia odnawialna i zielone źródła energii mogą odegrać tutaj kluczową rolę.pl
