The main goal of this paper is to compare regional business activity in Poland using regional official statistics and data obtained by the RIED from business surveys conducted in the manufacturing industry (NACE D). This is the first attempt to model regional output in the Polish NUTS2 regions using RIED survey data covering the 1999-2005 period. A two-stage analysis focuses first on comparative statistics and is aimed at identifying a level and dynamics of regional economic development. Next qualitative data (RIED surveys balance statistics) is used to analyse changes of industrial output in regions. Two monthly run survey balance statistics are used: total orders and sales of the manufacturing sector (NACE D); a yearly index of manufacturing production sold, published by the Central Statistical Office, is taken as a reference variable. Time series are seasonally adjusted and smoothed. Persisting differentiation of regional business activity makes us conjecture that: (1) economically dominating regions tend to strengthen their positions, (2) output gaps between most and least developed regions are not decreasing, and (3) structural changes that have been noticed in recent years in least developed regions make one expect that a map of regional differentiation will change.
