This paper explores the spatial distribution of innovative activity and the role of technological spillovers in the process of knowledge creation across 138 regions of 17 countries in Europe (the 15 members of the European Union plus Switzerland and Norway). The analysis is based on an original statistical databank set up by CRENoS on regional patenting at the European Patent Office spanning from 1978 to 1997 and classified by ISIC sectors (3 digit). In a first step, a deep exploratory spatial data analysis of the dissemination of innovative activity in Europe is performed. Some global and local indicators for spatial association are presented, summarising the presence of a dependence process in the distribution of innovative activity for different periods and sectors. Secondly, we attempt to model the behaviour of innovative activity at the regional level on the basis of a knowledge production function. Econometric results points to the relevance of internal factors (R&D expenditure, economic performance, agglomeration economies). Moreover, the production of knowledge by European regions seems to be also affected by spatial spillovers due to innovative activity performed in other regions. Keywords: Innovative activity, Spatial analysis, European regions, Knowledge production function.

Chzhyshyn O.I. PROBLEMATIC ISSUES OF INNOVATION ACTIVITY IN UKRAINE: THE TAX ASPECTPurpose. The aim of the article is the determination of directions for activation of innovation activity of Ukrainian enterprises and implementation of successful market reforms taking into account the experience of developed countries on preferential taxation of innovation activity.Methodology of research. The modern general scientific and special methods of economic research are used in the article, in particular: system approach – when studying economic ties in the system of management of innovative processes of enterprises; statistical analysis – in determining the dynamics, structure and impact of the development of enterprise innovation; dialectical, abstract and logical – when conducting theoretical generalizations and forming conclusions.Findings. It has been established that for the development of entrepreneurship it is necessary to have an appropriate financial base, which, in market conditions, is expedient to form not only through direct financing methods, but also through the use of indirect levers such as taxes. It has been determined that tax incentives for entrepreneurship in Ukraine during all years of independence were not sufficiently effective and, consequently, did not bring the expected results.Originality. Attracting advanced foreign experience to stimulate tax incentives for entrepreneurship development is now a particularly important problem requiring systematic study and resolution, introducing a stimulating model of income tax with an appropriate mechanism for its administration. As an example of European countries, introduce a differential rate for profit, which reinvested in the operating and investment activities of the entity.Practical significance. The introduction of a differentiated rate of return will ensure the expansion of sources of funding not only the study and implementation of innovations according to the example of European countries, but also the training of specialists, which in turn will lead to a qualitatively new organization of the relationship between innovation structures, enterprises and government authorities.Key words: innovation activity; taxation; market; profit; entrepreneurship.

In the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan there still continues orientation towards raw materials and dependence on the world raw materials markets conjuncture. The key causes of the low level of the economy competitiveness are related to the decoupling between science and production, insufficient financing of innovation projects, absence of the efficient mechanisms of bringing scientific-technical production to the level of goods, high capital consumption.Renunciation of the raw materials model requires modernization and simultaneous transition to the innovation economy, as Kazakhstan relates its constant stable growth, first of all, to the transition to the innovation way of development. Today Kazakhstan is actively forming a new economy which is being built on the present day knowledge and competitive innovations. Besides, the purpose of institutional transformations is the establishing of the market innovative-active subjects. However, till nowadays the program of reduction of home economy dependence of on raw materials does not give the expected results and until this key problem is left unsolved, it will effect negatively economy's development, especially in case of the sharp worsening of the environment. Unconditionally, there are other domestic problems that will prevent from supporting a stable growth.Kazakhstan's transition to the innovation type of development can be conditionally divided into two stages. The beginning of the first stage is connected with adoption of the Strategy of industrial-innovation development in 2003, formation of the institutional base and the key moments of the national innovation system. In 2010, having adopted the State program of forced industrial-innovation development of the country for 2010–2014 there began the stage of accelerated building of the innovation economy, strengthening of legislative and financial stimulation of the innovation activity.At present the efforts of the state innovation policy are aimed to, firstly, the development of innovation clusters and ...

This study shows that the model of assessing the opportunities for innovation activity of enterprises is multivariate and interrelated with such macroeconomic regulators of Ukraine's development as competitive attractiveness of the country, favorable conditions for doing business in the country and innovation activity of enterprises. The use of a three-dimensional matrix of indicators to assess Ukraine's competitive attractiveness allowed us to evaluate the significant impact of changes in Ukraine's Global Innovation Index on the innovation activity of enterprises for the period 2014–2019. Moreover, the greater the value of the indicator of the state's innovation potential is, the higher the level of innovation activity in the country becomes, which significantly increases the positive image of Ukrainian entrepreneurs at the global level and acts as a "green light" for foreign investors. Given the wide range of parameters that must be taken into account in an integrated assessment of innovation activity of an enterprise, we have used the method of component analysis. The uniqueness of an integrated assessment of innovation activity of an enterprise is carried out in accordance with the concept of value formation of innovations and it is tested on the example of Ferrotrading LLC. The effectiveness of the study consists in the fact that the selected sub-indicators for assessing the innovation activity of the studied enterprise (innovation resources, innovation competencies and innovation abilities) greatly complement the assessment of the opportunities for innovation activity in the proposed model. The conducted study has theoretical and practical significance. It can be used as a basis for further research in this area and can be employed by governments to make management decisions on increasing the innovation activity of business and the state as a whole.

Promotion of innovations on the market is hampered in Ukraine by the lack of methodological approaches for analyzing the efficiency of innovative projects. The lack of appropriate methodology leads companies to refuse to innovate because of the uncertainty of final economic outcomes. The introduction of project based methods for innovation activity management allows, on the one hand, to reconcile strategic and operational objectives within the innovation process, innovation activity and general financial and economic activity of the enterprise, and on the other hand, to implement cognitive approaches to organization of company's innovation management.The research argues the possibilities of applying the canonical correlation method for structuring the causal links between the determined components of a company innovative capability, such as innovation potential, innovative business opportunities and system margin. As these components may be further assessed by quantitative indices, the method of regression analysis is also used to develop analytical tools for innovation management, which allow to reveal the interrelated impact of expenses on the results of innovation activity. The paper analyzes changes in a company innovative capability that can be provoked by increased material, depreciation, labor and information costs and discusses directions of interrelated changes. Practical testing of submitted proposals is realized based on the Ukrainian companies' statements for 2012–2017.
