While states with different capacities and fiscal policies intervened to alleviate the effects of the crisis, results varied. This article focuses on macroeconomic developments, including public deficit and debt in the Baltic States: namely, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. The main purpose of this analysis is to examine the level of deficit and public debt between 2010 and 2015. We also seek to examine the relationship between deficit and public debt levels and GDP growth rate. We rely on statistical and comparative analyses. We compare domestic deficit and debt figures to the average among EU member states. Our statistical analysis reveals no high correlation between the growth of GDP and reduction of the budget deficit in the three countries. This largely depends on the public finance policy pursued by the government. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/6941 Tytuł: Sources of Financing Public Goods in Polish Agriculture Autorzy: Roszkowska-Mądra, Barbara; Zalesko, Elżbieta Abstrakt: The purpose of this paper is to indicate the scope of public intervention measures (Rural Development Program Funds) contributing to the fulfillment of the agricultural sector, which is an important sector of the Polish economy, not only for production but also for non-productive functions in the form of public goods and services, increasingly perceived and appreciated by the public. This constitutes a strong foundation for their support and is considered as a form of remuneration for farmers to generate positive externalities (public goods) provided to the society for which creation, the market does not reward the agricultural producers. The analyzes carried out show that, under the Common Agricultural Policy, rural development policy offers a number of measures to support the agricultural economy, agricultural practices and other investments thus contributing to the generation of public goods in agriculture. These measures support the development of rural areas and encourage the creation of public goods, both of an environmental and social nature. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z
