Structural assessment of the industry of Ukraine and Poland

Abstract

In the article research the structural estimation and exposure of comparative advantages of Ukrainian and Polish industry. The methodical basis of research the structural indexes of producing, gross value added and export of gross value added served as. It is educed at results undertaken a study, similar and excellent structural and quality lines of Polish and Ukrainian industry. The results of the study made it possible to state that Ukraine has comparative advantages in the raw materials sectors of industry, while Poland is in the processing industry, which focuses on the largest industrial innovation, investment resources and human capital. Significant comparative advantages of the Polish processing industry are due to the fact that processing industries with a low share of gross value added in production (food production, wood production, paper, printing and duplicating and metallurgical production) predominate in Ukraine's processing industry. Instead, the Polish processing industry holds a significant share in the processing industry with a higher share of gross value added (production of basic pharmaceutical products and pharmaceuticals, production of rubber and plastic products, production of other non-metallic mineral products, production of finished metal products, except machinery and equipment, production of motor vehicles, trailers and semitrailers). Therefore, the further development of the Ukrainian processing industry and industry in general requires sectoral and innovative development (construction of organizational and economic mechanisms for the comprehensive modernization of certain industrial enterprises). The revealed differences between the Ukrainian and Polish industries are the basis for building mutually beneficial Ukrainian-Polish economic relations in international trade, investment and innovation activities.
