We consider density functionals for exchange and correlation energies in two-dimensional systems. The functionals are constructed by making use of exact constraints for the angular averages of the corresponding exchange and correlation holes, respectively, and assuming proportionality between their characteristic sizes. The electron current and spin are explicitly taken into account, so that the resulting functionals are suitable to deal with systems exhibiting orbital currents and/or spin polarization. Our numerical results show that in finite systems the proposed functionals outperform the standard two-dimensional local spin-density approximation, still performing well also in the important limit of the homogeneous two-dimensional electron gas.
