GROSS VALUE ADDED IN MARITIME SECTOR OF ECONOMY

Summary

Gross value added is the value of output less the value of intermediate consumption. It can be used as the measure of the contribution to GDP made by an individual producer, industry or sector. As the maritime sector of economy is very important in European Union, there is a remarkable lack of statistical data. The paper presents the results of Gross Value Added estimation for maritime industry in Poland. It was estimated using output approach, that is as a difference between gross output and intermediate consumption. Necessary data for GVA estimation was retrieved from annual reports on incomes, costs, fi nancial results and investment outlays on fi xed assets collected by Central Statistical Offi ce. Data for 2002, 2003 and 2004 was used. Accurate and reliable information is an essential tool for the development of a strategy for the maritime industry. Without reliable information no assessing of maritime industry role in the general economic arena is possible. Research on the Value Added estimation should be continued.
