Background. Ensuring the innovative development of the country is the main prerequisite for its survival and national security, dynamic economic growth and access to international markets. An important indicator of the development of innovative activity is the expenditure of research and development. The aim of the article is to analyze current trends in research and development expenditure in Ukraine, assess their compliance with global trends to determine the prospects for innovation and its activation Results. The dynamics of R&D expenditures in Ukraine indicates a recession in innovation in contrast to the EU, where there is a steady upward trend in these expenditures. The gap between Ukraine and European countries is deepening both in terms of total R&D expenditures and certain types of work, as well as in terms of science-intensive GDP. Practically the only source of financing the enterprises innovative activity in Ukraine is their own funds, the share of which is growing rapidly. Conclusion. Increasing spending on research and development worldwide indicates that innovation is a key factor in economic growth. The results of the analysis of the dynamics and structure of R&D expenditures in Ukraine do not correspond to global trends and give grounds for serious concern about the development of innovation. The growth of R&D expenditures in Ukraine is impossible without the development and implementation of an adequate state innovation policy.

The article considers the issue of stimulating innovative activity in construction. The purpose of our investigation is to study influence of state regulation on innovation activity in construction. The role of construction participants in the innovation process and the reasons for low innovation activity in construction are determined. The tasks of the policy of innovative development, levers of state stimulation of innovative activity were discussed. Counterfeit tenders and corruption have been identified as an important factor hindering innovations in construction. A macroeconomic model of the state's influence on the process of stimulating innovation in construction and a model of logistical relations between organizations for innovation in construction have been developed. The necessity of active realization of organizational, financial, tax, budgetary, legal, information levers of the state policy as the tool of the state stimulation of innovative development in the building sphere is substantiated.Key words: state innovation policy, construction, public policy, project organization, building contractors, innovative activity.

This chapter aims to evaluate the effects of research and development on economic growth, export, and unemployment rate in emerging economies. Within this scope, E7 countries are taken into the consideration. Additionally, annual data of these variables for the periods between 1996 and 2016 is tested by using Dumitrescu Hurlin panel causality analysis. It is concluded that research and development expenditure has a positive effect to increase the export amount for these emerging economies. On the other hand, it is also identified that there is not a causality relationship between research and development with economic growth and unemployment rate. Therefore, it is recommended that emerging economies should take necessary actions to increase research and development investment to have higher amount of export. Hence, it can be possible for these countries to minimize the negative effects of current account deficit. In addition to this issue, it can also be seen that making research and development investment plays a key role to improve the economic performance of these countries.

Problem setting. Effective innovation is possible only if the relevant subjects use the entire arsenal of innovation resources. At the same time, the issues of using the innovation potential are becoming increasingly important, especially in the context of the need to intensify innovation as a challenge to the global economy. Analysis of recent researches and publications. The work of many scientists, such as M. Bondarchuk, M. Voynarenko, V. Grishko, V. Zakharchenko, O. Ovechkina, V. Stadnyk, O. Arefieva, V. Vitlinsky, N. Goncharova, V. Medinsky and others. Article’s main body. One of the main principles of the state innovation policy is the creation of conditions for the preservation, development and use of domestic scientific, technical and innovative potential. Innovation potential is a key factor in economic growth, taking into account the priority of supporting research (which is one of the foundations of innovation potential) and creating an effective infrastructure that will facilitate the commercialization of innovation results. The concept of innovation potential is one of the key concepts of the categorical apparatus of innovation research and is a key factor of economic growth, but in modern legal and economic literature and current national legislation there is no clear definition of its concept, structure and powers of certain government agencies to ensure its development. Conclusions and prospects for the development. The effectiveness of innovation directly depends on a certain innovation potential, which in its structure is a system of interrelated factors and resources that ensure effective innovation. Therefore, to ensure the appropriate level of formation and development of innovation potential, first of all it is necessary to: create an effective innovation infrastructure that will promote the commercialization of innovation results; directing the state policy on the use of intellectual resources in order to develop high-tech industries and create favorable conditions for the intensification of innovation; improving the regulatory and legal support of innovative economic development.

The contribution of exports to GDP in MINT countries that improve substantially just after their implantation of export promotion strategy in the late 1980s raises the issue of whether the growth in these countries is led by export or not. While a good number of studies have been found investigating whether economic growth is promoted by exports for developing countries having an outstanding share of export in GDP, no study investigating the export-led growth hypothesis for MINT countries has been found until recent times. The main purpose of this study is to fill up the void. The study employs panel cointegration technique with an aim to examine whether the export is the key factor of economic growth for MINT countries employing yearly secondary data that covers the period. Results of the study imply that economic growth of these countries is considerably exports driven. Moreover, there is an indication of improvement of efficiency as exports work along with the rise capital formation. As the employment opportunity of an economy is expanded through capital formation, the emerging MINT countries endowed with large population and favorable demographics are expected to become the major exporters with strong GDP growth by being able to attract adequate foreign investment.

Abstract Entrepreneurship is recognized as one of the factors stimulating economic growth and increasing economic competitiveness. In addition, the Europe 2020 Strategy has focused its attention on entrepreneurship as a key factor of economic growth, social progress, and employment. In this context, our study examines the role of entrepreneurial performance for sustaining the development of countries, focusing on a sample of European countries. We attempt to reveal if increasing entrepreneurial performance would have significant influence on improving the economic position of countries and their future economic development. Starting from the OECD-Eurostat Entrepreneurship Indicators Programme we use a set of entrepreneurial performance indicators as independent variables and examine to what extent they can influence competitiveness and economic growth, seen as dependent variables of the models. We focus on a period of 10 years (2008–2017) and we apply panel-data estimation techniques. Because the period considered includes the period of the last international financial crisis, we also include in our analysis a dummy variable. Our results emphasize that the changes in entrepreneurial performance play a significant role in enhancing national competitiveness and economic growth. Our findings contribute to the expansion of literature in the field by providing evidence on the correlation of indicators that measure entrepreneurial performance with national competitiveness and economic growth. Moreover, our findings point out the need of the policy makers to adopt measures and policies that help and stimulate entrepreneurs to become more performant because they can generate positive effects to the economy as a whole.
