gether with the adapted model of the Polish economy W8-LW provides a tool in

nomic analysis for the Lodz region resulting from the assumptions and solutions of
the models are prezented. An attempt to quantify the impact of changing external
conditions and remedial actions for the development of the Polish economy and the
region. Accepted assumptions resulted directly from the earlier rounds of Delphi

in assumptions and taking action locally obsen/ed so far go beyond the framework
may lead to changes in growth rates and achieve different levels of development of
the region, increased its share in domestic production or growth of population
