Thus, significant increases of the average value of the researched indicator were observed in the period 2020-2021, as well as a strong, direct link between the independent variables and the dependent variable, the analyzed phenomenon being explained in a proportion of 30,05% by the dynamics of the indicators used in the analysis.
