Study on the changing pattern of consumers' behavior of Polish and Lithuanian citizen after the accession to EU

本研究的目的是在波兰和立陶宛这三个国家发现加入欧盟三年来(2004年5月1日)消费者行为的变化模式。即农民的农产品种植行为、消费金融和住房贷款行为，以及短期和长期的出国务工行为。即使在我们开始研究之前，我们就预计消费者行为的变化规模会相当大。经过3年的研究，加入欧盟后消费者行为的变化程度变得非常沉浸式和动态化。在农业领域，波兰和立陶宛的农民每年都会灵活地改变他们的产品，调整欧盟的价格-成本状况。波兰发放给波兰的住房贷款从2002年的740亿兹罗提增加到2006年的2800多亿兹罗提。波兰和立陶宛的汽车贷款也大幅增加。5月1日，英国和爱尔兰向欧盟国家的外国工人开放了劳动力市场。从5月1日到7月31日，英国接收了65,525名外国工人，其中波兰人为35,710人。2004年，波兰出现了中短期移民的巨大热潮。其结果是，波兰和立陶宛出现了高素质工人的严重短缺。据我们所知，这三个事实确实是我们项目的独创性。

The purpose of this project is to find the changing pattern of consumers' behavior in 3 years after the accession to EU (1st, May, 2004), in Poland and Lithuania on 3 fields. i.e. farmer's behavior of cultivation of agricultural products, consumer finance and housing loan, and short-term and long-term labor outside his country.Even before the beginning of our research we expected the scale of change of consumers' behavior will be quite large. As a result of 3 years' our research the extent of the change of consumers' behavior after the accession to EU becomes very immerse and dynamic.In the filed of agriculture the farmers of Poland and Lithuania every year changed their products elastically adjusting the price-cost situation in EU.The housing loan delivered to Polish grew from 74 billion zloty in 2002 to more than 280 billion zloty in 2006. The automobile loan also drastically increased in Poland and Lithuania.On 1st of May England and Ireland opened her labor market to foreign workers from EU countries. From 1st of May to 31st of July England accepted 65,525 foreign workers, in which the number of Polish was 35,710. Tremendous boom of short and medium term emigration had happened in Poland in 2004. As a result of it the serious deficit of high-qualified workers had happened in Poland and Lithuania.These three fact findings are, as far as we know, indeed our originality of our project.
