Research method – The estimation of the earnings quality was prepared basing on the analytical formulas of Putman et al., and Gullet et al. models. The exemplification research studies were conducted for public companies classified in the WIG‑DIV index of the Warsaw Stock Exchange in 2016–2020. Results – There are positive relationships of medium strength between the calculated values of the Q-Test and EQ‑Score indicators. In the analyzed research sample, the average values of the Q-Test indicators were generally higher than the average values of the EQ‑Score indicators and were characterized by a greater degree of dispersion. The EQ‑Score is statistically significantly correlated with the discretionary accruals separated using the Jones and Kasznik models, which indicates its potential for predicting the earnings management phenomenon. Originality / value / implications / recommendations – The study is the first example of empirical verification of the usefulness of the Q-Test and EQ‑Score models in assessing the quality of the financial results of public companies operating on the Polish capital market.","PeriodicalId":373923,"journal":{"name":"Optimum.

Research method – The realisation of the aim required using the method of descriptive and compa-rative analysis to assess the fairness of charging the personal income tax.Results – The results of the empirical study on the personal tax structure point to the progressive tax as the one which better fulfils the concept of tax justice. The common acceptance of the tax progression confirms the deeply rooted sense of vertical equity in the Polish society. According to this, higher taxes should be paid by the rich, while the less wealthy should be charged with lower taxes. Unfortunately, the structure of the personal income tax in Poland does not reflect this. On the basis of the evolution of the PIT tax structure, it is possible to determine flattening of the progression due to the introduction of the two-stage tax scale. What is more, one may experience frequent ethical doubts connected with tax exemptions, and especially with the rules of granting them.Originality / value / implications / recommendations – Author’s own evaluation of the personal income tax in terms of tax fairness.","PeriodicalId":373923,"journal":{"name":"Optimum.

Moreover, the aim is to verify the impact of close business‑science relations on the innovativeness of the national economy. Research method – Literature studies, surveys, FGI (Focus Group Interview) Results – The research confirms the high importance of relations and relationship management in the development of business‑science cooperation. Companies that assess cooperation with science as valuable and significant to innovation, also indicate a high level of mutual relations and related fluidity in the exchange of knowledge. On the other hand, weak relations and low levels of trust often lead to problems in the implementation of joint projects, and, as a result, in the development of innovation. Originality / value / implications / recommendations – The processes of relationship development and trust‑building are as important in business‑science cooperation as the carefully conducted technology transfer. Thus, companies and scientific units engaged in mutual cooperation should pay attention to both of these factors. In macroeconomic terms, the level of relations between representatives of business and science affects the number of innovations created by a given economy. As a result, it also determines its innovativeness.","PeriodicalId":373923,"journal":{"name":"Optimum.

Research methodology – The study uses descriptive statistics based on a quantitative survey of 120 Polish exporters from manufacturing sectors.
