Abstract—

The article examines the model of the supply of innovations and their further diffusion in various sectors of the economy through research and comparative analysis of the evolution of innovation systems and their relationship with the sectors of the economy, based on the cluster (network) system of innovation policy in the EU countries in 1970–2018. Empirical results show that the properties of a cluster innovation network can be strictly predicted due to the network stimulation of both forward and reverse flows, while there are several other elements that have a significant and more complex impact on the formation of these nodal connections: these are primarily competencies, knowledge, and economic interdependences.

Notes

  1. The Erdős–Rényi model on the evolution of random graphs allows one to solve two problems: to construct a graph similar in properties to the data obtained experimentally, and to study its properties. The main advantage of the model is that it allows you to test and compare the quality of various algorithms on entire families of random graphs and compare the results obtained with those predicted theoretically. The theory of random graphs began to develop actively after the publication in the late 1950s of joint articles by P. Erdős and A. Rényi.
