The paper investigates the influence of European integration on the economy and innovation ecosystem of Ukraine. It is established that the innovative component of the national economy has contracted over 2015-2020. With each year, it is becoming more primitive and de-industrialized, which necessitates a revision of the Association Agreement with the EU aimed at enhancing its positive impact on innovation processes in the national economy. Conducted analysis allows for comparisons between Ukraine’s involvement in the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme, which remains low, and that of EU member states and other associated members. Ukraine’s predicament is explained by, among other reasons, a weak national innovation ecosystem and a lack of close contact and professional ties between Ukrainian institutions and their European counterparts. The paper offers suggested solutions to these problems, namely a set of organizational and institutional measures that will broaden Ukraine’s access to EU funding and accelerate integration into European Research Area. The author emphasizes the need for planned systemic reforms in order to overcome the structural weakness of the national economy. «Natural» development of science and technology, revitalization of the industries though introduction of latest technologies, preservation and balanced development of human capital will all ensure Ukraine’s advancement through development of a competitive high-technology economy.","PeriodicalId":232319,"journal":{"name":"Issue Vol 20, No 4","volume":"221 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122526503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author’s experience of creating a Ukrainian-Moldovan cross-border cluster for wine waste processing is used to conduct a comparative analysis of the institutional framework for the creation and operation of European and Ukrainian innovation partnerships. The obtained results determine directions for development, namely creation of national platforms of innovation partnerships in target areas, integration of platforms at various levels (local, regional, national, cross-border, European), establishment of the institute of innovation brokerage and creation of permanent consulting / brokering services in the innovation sector, involvement of sectoral regional programmes and their resources in creating innovation partnerships, and development and adoption of a national concept and programme of building innovation partnerships.","PeriodicalId":232319,"journal":{"name":"Issue Vol 20, No 4","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122382502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Countries within the OECD grouping are committed to democratically elected government and market economies and fall into this category. The OECD group comprises 37 countries, including Colombia, and in 2019 accounted for 63% of real global GDP. This research focuses on the data of the thirty-seven countries over the twenty-year period of 2000-2019. Economic data is drawn from the World Bank and the IMF websites; whilst data on development indicators and income inequality is drawn from the UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) and WID (World Inequality database) websites. Analysis of the data in these countries provides insights into the factors and processes which influence economic growth and human development in economies with a democratic political regime. The estimated equation shows that economic growth in OECD countries was significantly higher when incoming investment as a proportion of the size of the economy and openness of the economy were higher, inflation, exchange rate changes and oil prices were lower. Smaller economies in the OECD also had higher economic growth. As the aim of a government is to increase not only the income but also the standard of living of its citizens, it is necessary also to assess the relationship between economic growth and the quality of life and wellbeing of its citizens. Five-year average cross-sectional regressions also show that economic growth in OECD countries is higher in the countries with lower HDI. This report further finds that economic growth has a bi-directional causality with changes in the human development index, and changes in life expectancy and a unidirectional causality with changes in the expected years of schooling (implying higher delivery of education) and changes in the standard of living. Another finding is that income inequality increases with economic growth; both in terms of the share of income of the top 10% and share of the lower 50%. Clearly investment in public goods, and social policies for education, skills training, healthcare and redistribution of wealth need more attention.","PeriodicalId":232319,"journal":{"name":"Issue Vol 20, No 4","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116796706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Taxes are one of the main sources of government revenue and are considered a strong resource for welfare state. Taxes have an impact on the development of international trade and business, as the latter chooses a more attractive location with less tax burden and costs. Nevertheless, the country’s status, competitiveness of industries, development of the infrastructure, safety and transparency are also important factors for the domestic and foreign business and investors. That is why it is necessary to study the impact of taxes on the export and import policy. In this article we study the development of export-import tendencies in the EU countries over the period from 2002 to 2018. Statistical calculations are done for EU-28 countries. The results show that values of tax revenues as percentage of GDP change slowly and diverge little from set levels. A corresponding pattern is evident in the main tax categories, however the fiscal lag for direct taxes, indirect taxes and social contributions differs. Research indicates that different export-import strategies prevail across the EU countries, as do systems of taxation. A system of two equations is basis for the model, which uses the econometric approach to assess the impact of taxes on the development of export-import tendencies in the EU. The analysis proves that if tax rates on exports are reduced in the short term, there is a positive effect on the intensity of export activities, but this may increase the dependence of the national economy on foreign markets both in the short and in the long term. Thus, reductions in import tax rates, on the one hand, help to strengthen the competitiveness of domestic producers in foreign markets, and on the other, intensify competition in the domestic market.","PeriodicalId":232319,"journal":{"name":"Issue Vol 20, No 4","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126611104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The notion of uncertainty in the competitive strategy of a united corporate structure (hereinafter referred to as UCS) in economics entails a new state of doing business when the results of economic activity (e.g., cost values) exceed the limits of given constraints. At the same time, the accounting side of business management of the UCS does not allow it to return to the previous constraints. This, therefore, emphasizes the task of creating a new branch of management for a particular process, where the result is innovative economic solutions. The paper proposes a scientific and methodological approach to finding cost management solutions in conditions of uncertainty. The approach follows principle of a closed-loop system with feedback, which, unlike others, entails a continuous comparison by subtracting the control criteria of the pre-determined and actual competitive advantages. The choice of counter-strategy is based on the obtained value and the sign of the subtraction. A set of factors contribute to determining the transition of cost changes under uncertainty and the formation of flexible management of UCS costs. These factors include production features, new types of integration, the law of learning, production and technological capacity, customer preferences, time factors for changes in storage and delivery costs, the production cycle, institutional factors of government policies for economic growth, outputs of a new product, scale of production and scale costs, interaction with suppliers, globalization of markets, and others. The paper develops a structural model of control and management of the total cost of 1t of production in the accounting and flexible areas of management, which is implemented in practice as a control software system.","PeriodicalId":232319,"journal":{"name":"Issue Vol 20, No 4","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130881134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
