Innovations and Productivity: the Empiric Study of Barriers to Advancement through Longitudinal Analysis by A. V. Trachuk, N. V. Linder

“…The received results have shown the following: 1) the barriers of innovative activity are various: at the level of creating the innovations the greatest negative effect spreads over the factors of insufficient liquidity, attraction complexity of investment resources for innovative activity financing, as well as the complexity of the commercialization, insufficient demand for innovative production and the lack of risk assessment procedures and return of investments, as for the stage of innovations commercialization the factors of experts shortcoming, capable to be engaged in innovative activity have the greatest value, a lack of experience of the heads in innovative projects implementation; 2) the assumption that the influence power of innovative activity barriers effects will be various in different sectors of manufacturing industry, is confirmed; 3) relations between innovation investments and productivity growth are not linear and have a steady positive interrelation only after a certain critical mass of investments in research and design and experimental works is reached; 4) the companies of low-technology branches have negative investments elasticity in innovations and productivity that is connected with the influence of unprofitability effect into investments innovations (appropriability effect), i. e. the additional investment profit is not really essential.…”
