Information on the thesis

The aim of dissertation research is to investigate the impact of ITT upon
economic growth. The evolution of classic and modern views on the formation
and development of ITT was illustrated. A model of the decision to purchase the
technology was offered. The theoretical and methodological approaches of eco-
nomic  growth  and  the  place  of  ITT  for  economic  growth  were  identified.  The
classification of factors affecting economic growth was offered.
Analyzing the relationship between the level of FDI in Ukraine from dif-
ferent  countries  and  the  labor  productivity  in  these  countries  were  studied  the
technology transfer in Ukraine. It was found that the most productive partners of
Ukraine  (including  geographical  proximity)  are  EU  countries  (Austria,  Poland,
Italy and Germany), so most logical is technology transfer from these countries
and less productive partners are Russia and USA. The impact on the efficiency of
ITT  and  a  high  level  of  well-being  in  different  countries  using  economic  and
mathematical models of production function analysis was defined. The analysis
classified  countries  into  4  groups  –  “advanced  passive”,  “advanced  active”,
“backward  active”  and  “passive  backward”,  according  to  involvement  in  the
processes ITT and the achieved level of economic development.
The  results  of  the  comparative  analysis  of  the  marginal  productivity  of
capital of different origin to Ukraine, Hungary, Israel and the United States (rep-
resenting  different  4  groups)  shows  that  in  the  case  of  Ukraine,  Hungary  and
Israel foreign capital is clearly better performance than internal, whereas in the
case of the US is not can make such conclusions. Therefore Ukraine should be
active recipient of international technology, as it has made Hungary and Israel,
while the United States can take “passive” position because of its internal tech-
nology is not inferior to foreign capacity. Methodical and practical recommenda-
tions for Ukraine in the field of regulation of ITT were suggested.
