The theoretical and methodological basis of the research is a systematic approach to identifying the ontological features of the modernization of the economy, an institutional-evolutionary approach to the study of the elements of institutional support of modernization transformations, a graphic analysis – to reflect the dynamics of the parameters of the innovation index. Findings. It is emphasized that the specific realities of the transitional state of the social and economic system became the ontological foundation of the modernization changes of the national economy. It was established that at this evolutionary stage, effective institutions and innovations, which in their totality form the basis for the modernization of the social and economic system, are of key importance for the national economy.

At the current stage of development, such a vector is the post-industrial model, which is based on a more advanced technological method of social production, expansion of the sphere of services, information and knowledge. Implementation of the modernization process requires optimization of regulatory influences and interaction of driving forces of transformational transformations (state, society, market). Originality. It is substantiated that regulatory institutional influences on modernization dynamics in the national economy should take into account global transformational factors: the growing role of information and communication technologies; spread of economic integration, expansion of transnational corporations, liberalization of trade relations; orientation of national economies to foreign relations, interpenetration and mutual influence of macroeconomic policies, internationalization of education and culture. In view of the task of modernization transformations, the adoption of measures to activate innovative activity through the substantiation and implementation of state support tools, the material and technical support of scientific structures with modern tools and equipment for scientific research, the formation of financial motivation for the productive work of researchers and the implementation of European norms and standards are argued organization and funding of fundamental research. Practical value. The theoretical and methodological provisions of this study deepen the practical toolkit of institutional regulation of the modernization of the national economy.
