Abstract

Due to lack of resources in the economy, the issue of public subsidies into science and innovation is always acute. The existing scientific literature reflects the results of research on the topic of public subsidies efficiency, both at the national level and at the level of various state programs. In Kazakhstan, this research question has been poorly studied. This research attempts to fulfill this gap. The authors analyze the theory and practice of using indicators to assess the performance of programs of research and developments commercialization. The indicators of technology commercialization programs of Kazakhstan, such as the programs of the International bank of development and reconstruction and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Science Foundation, the National agency of technology development are studied. The analysis of the Norwegian program FORNY in developing their indicators is made. The comparative study shows that evaluation of the commercialization programs performance requires a transition to a permanent and systemic basis. Particular attention should be paid to the development and exploration of indicators of behavior additionality and involvement of local authorities in the assessment of the programs performance at the regional / local level, which will increase their level of involvement in the implementation of these programs.
