Comparative assessment system of r&d indicators

Abstract

This article is part of a general study of the numerical assessment of the country's scientific and technical development impact on its economic growth. It is included in its part, which considers the analysis of the production and the export of high-tech products dynamics in different world countries. This will give Ukraine the opportunity to use certain positive experiences and take into account negative trends in the process of restoring its own economy in the post-war period. The purpose of the article is to study the possibilities of applying the author's methodology «estimation of speed and acceleration» to conduct a comparative analysis of development indicators of the scientific and technical activity sphere. Research methodology. As a state regulation tool in the field of innovative, scientific and technical development, the author's methodology for analyzing the dynamics of scientific and technical activity indicators was proposed. It is proposed to use the phase portrait for comparisons of the indicators of different countries, and the economic content of its components is revealed. Research results. In the work, a comparative assessment of the high-tech products export was carried out, as one of the most important indicators of the scientific and technical potential realization in Ukraine, Poland, the Czech Republic and Lithuania for 2009–2020. The internal character following types of the high-tech export dynamics have been determined: smooth, sharp, spiral. Positive features in the dynamics of high-tech products export from Poland and the Czech Republic were noted, which should become benchmarks for Ukraine. It was established that in 2009, Ukraine was significantly ahead of Lithuania in the volume of export of high-tech products, and in 2021, it will be significantly behind, which is the result of a mistaken domestic science and technology policy. It is the result of an erroneous domestic research and development policy associated with the underestimation of the scientific and technical sphere as an important and necessary productive force of the country's economy and the connection with this insufficient level of its financing and stimulation for the entire period of country independence. The obtained study results will ensure the implementation of an effective state policy for the Ukraine economy recovery in the post-war period.
