The article describes the original empirical research, which is based on the actual topic regarding the impact of innovation on economic development. The relevance of this topic is reinforced by the fact that the global economic downturn influenced the choice of many countries which economic sectors should form the fundament of economy. Choices are different, but the common opinion is that the economic development should be based on knowledge-intensive and high technology sectors which form the basis of an innovative economy (for example, strategy “Europe 2020” and its initiative “Innovation Union”). Making choice in favour of innovation can be justified by the essence of the new endogenous growth theory, as well as on the research findings that according to the Russian economist Kondratiev’s big cycles of conjuncture the modern economy is in its fifth stage of development meaning that the economic growth should be based on the technology, knowledge, intellectual capital and productivity.
