“…Therefore, supporting growth and development of SMEs as well as innovative policies targeted at fostering their growth should belong to the state-level priorities (Abrhám et al, 2015;Barkhatov, 2016;Barkhatov et al, 2016;Varanavicius et al, 2017). The state support is provided in financial, property, information and consulting forms and it provides one of the most important prerequisites for regional development (Brodzicki, 2016;Niño-Amézquita et al, 2017).…”

Abstract. The current state of economic development and innovations' support often brings small and medium enterprises (SMEs) at the forefront of government fiscal policy. Various policy measures targeted at SMEs' support and development necessarily include measures on promotion of innovations within small business. However, despite substantial efforts undertaken by the authorities to increased financial injections into this area, development of innovations by small businesses faces many obstacles. Statistics on the registered small and medium enterprises shows that the sharp rise of entrepreneurship observed in the early 1990s changed for the stagnation towards the end of the decade and sluggish dynamics of the present time. Unfortunately, as practice shows, measures taken so far do not stimulate significant changes in the development of small business. Moreover, differentiation of small businesses between regions is only increasing, as it is manifested through substitution of divergence for convergence. Our paper analyzes the legal framework regulating small business development as well as state of innovations within SMEs so that to identify the main indicators

“…Including Azerbaijan, the economic dependence of developing countries on developed countries is manifested primarily in the fact that developed countries are "pure" ex-porters of capital to developing countries, whereas developing countries are in fact the debtors of developed ones. In foreign trade, economic dependence is manifested not only in the overall asymmetry of exports and imports, but also primarily in their market's commodity structure (Ehrenberger et al 2015;Varanavicius et al 2017). Raw materials and semi-finished products are mainly dominated in the exports of developing countries.…”

Abstract. This paper tackles the asymmetry of economic interests and geopolitics between developed and developing countries. Currently, the geopolitics presupposes that the majority of novel technologies are devised and designed in developed countries with their subsequent transfer to the developing countries. Moreover, in the context of the global crisis, the issue of de-dollarization is relevant from the political and economic points of view. Our specific focus is on the small oil countries and the issue how to get off the oil needle in the painless way. Furthermore, the paper analyzes the rise of cryptocurrency that is envisaged as the substitute of the U.S. dollar which has been the world most dominating currency for the last several decades. This paper considers the global asymmetry which has the greatest impact on countries with economies dependent on energy exports. In the light of the diminishing returns from the sale of oil, we examine the ways for escaping this asymmetry. The authors consider the geopolitical asymmetry stemming from the dominance of the U.S. dollar, analyze the political situation and offer the pathways for the development of those economies where oil become an obstacle for economic development. The paper examines the ways of solving the above-mentioned problem by other states in detail and conduct the comparative analysis of the above issues in relation to the economy of Azerbaijan. From this case study we conduct a comparative analysis of the developed and developing countries taking into account the economic asymmetry and global economic and financial security.

“…Therefore, although there are several government incentives, the success of these green technologies depends on individuals' decisions to adopt them [10,11]. This decision is linked to behavioral traits [12], thus showing the importance of understanding investor behaviors [13][14][15]. Socially responsible consumption refers to the behavior and purchasing decisions of the investor that reduce environmental or social problems [16].…”

What is the Profile of the Investor in Household Solar Photovoltaic Energy Systems?

The implementation of energy-efficient systems in homes is of interest to many people, especially regarding the use of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy systems. Solar PV generation is essential worldwide because it is a significant source of renewable energy, wherein electricity can be stored for future use, and a cost-effective path for residential consumers. In contrast, considering the number of people who invest in PV systems versus those who do not, adherence is significantly unequal throughout society. Accordingly, predominant factors exist that increase the likelihood of residential PV solar power generation system adoption, which are seen as opportunities to increase energy efficiency. Furthermore, the literature is still insufficient regarding the exploration of variables that determine decisions around the purchase of green power generation systems. From this perspective, the current research aims to identify the socio-psychological profile of photovoltaic energy investors by applying four questionnaires, namely, psychological values, the human–nature relationship, motivation analyses, and household characteristics. The research results define the profile and motivations of green energy investors. The attitudes of potential investors are also predicted, and this research contributes to the development of the photovoltaic energy industry production chain by providing relevant information for better photovoltaic policy design and more targeted marketing strategies for companies.
