Abstract
The paper aims to discuss regional diversification in Poland on the basis of selected characteristics and statistical indicators and attempts to explain the diversity in GDP per capita between regions. In order to do this some data on investments and R & D activity and on social capital, among others, is analysed. The description of regional diversification is supplemented by grouping of territorial units with the Ward's minimum variance method. Ultimately selected variables were used to estimate a regression model. It explained 98 % of the variation of the GDP per capita in the regions. (original abstract)
