How to alleviate the pressure of resources and the environ-ment and to achieve the sustainable development of the economy has become a global agenda.China' s economy growth has been rapid for decades since the reform and opening up policy,but this has also been a great drain on China' s resources and the environment, which is an ur-gent problem to tackle. In recently years, the Chinese government has launched many environ-mental policies in the hope of encouraging technological innovation to guarantee the sustain-able development of the economy. However, research suggested that technological innovationis negatively correlated with environmental policies in most scenarios. In some cases, the num-ber of technological innovation decreases after policies take effect and increases after a whilelike a U - curve. In order to solve this problem, I decided to analyze the panel data from 80provinces in China between 2008 and 2014 and conclude that local governance can implementenvironmental regulations while having a positive impact on the technological innovation inenterprises. In the conclusion, suggestions are given to local governments on how to better en-force environmental policies.展开更多

This article discusses and criticizes such attitude as the strategic methodological platform. The theoretical backgrounds of the presented analysis lay in the Schumpeterian innovation theory of economic development and the Neo-Schumpeterian approaches concerning decisive value of structural and technological change for economic growth. It gives arguments for standpoint that a follow-up economic development can be successful if a country will be able to have expansion of new modem sectors and more innovative structure of production, as investments in the process of innovation must guarantee a permanent structural reform of the national economy on a new technological basis. One of the main means of realization should be the diversification of the organizational forms of the national economy, ensuring the cooperation of small, medium and large companies within the innovation "science-technology-production" cycle. Conclusion that in transitive countries and in Ukraine the contemporary innovation policy should provide effective mechanisms of investing into large-scale structural changes for the benefit of the sectors of the fifth and sixth technological paradigm.展开更多
