FINANCING INNOVATION ACTIVITY IN UKRAINE: REALITIES AND PERSPECTIVES by Nataliia Marynenko, Iryna Fedyshyn, Natalia Garmatiy, Iryna Kramar

“…The correlation between the influence of the total amount of expenditures for financing innovation activity of industrial enterprises and gross domestic product of Ukraine in actual prices is calculated and forecasting of these expenditures by applying the theory of Markov chains is carried out. The research on the basis of correlation-regression analysis between the total amount of expenditures for financing innovation activity of industrial enterprises and gross domestic product of Ukraine in actual prices for the period of 2013-2017 made it possible to establish a sufficiently strong correlation between the indicators (the correlation coefficient is 1), which indicates that the positive dynamics of the increase in the total amount of expenditures for financing innovation activity of industrial enterprises will lead to a positive dynamics of Ukraine’s gross domestic product in actual prices. …”

Day-Ahead and Intraday Economic Optimization Models of the Stackelberg Game Considering Source-Load Uncertainty by Ning Li, Weibo Liu, Xiaodong Wan, Xiu Ren, Haining Yu

“…In order to enhance the demand response rate on the demand side and the wind power accommodation rate on the supply side, as well as to curtail the operational cost effectively, this paper formulates a day-ahead and intraday economic dispatch model predicated on Stackelberg game theory. Within this model, specific attention is given to the influence of source-load uncertainties on energy prices, and the concept of the net load is incorporated during the intraday phase to meticulously calibrate intraday prices. …”
