New commercial behaviour as a reason of social and economic changes of divided towns on the Polish-German and Polish-Czech borders by Katarzyna Kulczyńska, Roman Matykowski, Elżbieta Bilska-Wodecka

“…This process involves, among other things, a heavy outflow of inhabitants, primarily young and better educated, to western lands and a steep slump in the total fertility rate. Still, the most important changes observed in the split towns over the last two decades have been consumer behaviour patterns determined, among other things, by differences in prices in the neighbouring states. …”
