This article examines the main mechanisms and tools for implementing innovation policy in countries with fastgrowing economies such as China and India. The study aims to explore the causal relationship between innovation, key macroeconomicvariables and economic growth.The author applies the entropy method and adapts the Graymodel to build a system of indices for assessing the coordination of the interaction of technological innovation, financial development and economic growth. The results show that the degree of integration of the financial system into innovation processes has a significant positive impact on the success of innovation, which is measured by patent activity. Our research proves that innovation indirectly affects economic growth through quality of life, infrastructure efficiency, employment, and rade openness. The findings of the research reveal that both economic growth and innovation tend to depend on a number of conjugate variables in the long run: capital, labor, etc. The author concludes that a comprehensive analysis of technological innovation, financial development and economic growth shows that the three-factor relationship has great potential for coordinated development, as a result of which, according to the calculated forecasts, economic growth in fast-growing economies will significantly accelerate its pace in the next five years. The subject of further research may be an analysis of whether the degree of conjugation of connectivity and coordination between the three systems will maintain stable growth at high values and whether they will be able to reach the stage of transformation.

Green innovation is the technological innovation under the premise of environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction. Both technological innovation and green development need a lot of financial support. Does financial development effectively support the promotion of green innovation? This article selects 2009- 2018 panel data of nine cities in the Pearl River Delta and uses the non-radial direction distance function (NDDF) method of Data Envelopment Analysis to measure their efficiency of green innovation. Then, we use the Tobit model to verify to the effects of financial development on green innovation. The results showed that the index reflecting financial development scale of the Pearl River Delta’s cities, there is significantly negative correlation between the number of financial institutions and green innovation; the number of practitioners in financial institutions, the proportion of fiscal expenditures on science and technology, energy saving and environmental protection in total expenditures showed an evidently positive correlation between them. It indicates that financial development of the nine cities is good for the improvement of green innovation efficiency. Further, this paper uses substitution variables to conduct robustness test, and the above conclusions are still valid.
