Digital economy: theoretical and applied aspect
ABSTRACT ▼
The article considers current trends of digitalization of the economy, which cause significant theoretical and methodological changes and a new applied vision of economic processes. Theoretically, the digital economy (DE) is the core of the modern networked economic system, and in practice, it is a growing sector of national and global economies. In current conditions, properly economic laws of DE are determined by the prevailing concepts and doctrines (neoclassical and neo-institutional ones). We are talking about the widespread use of marginal indicators (marginal costs, marginal capital, marginal labor, etc.) and concepts such as institutions, trust, risk, security, and others. The essential features of IT as a new phenomenon in the socio-economic system are complemented on an interdisciplinary basis by the epistemology of informational and computer sciences, and electronic technologies and platforms. Combination of the categorical apparatus of economic mainstream and informational and computer sciences, and their synergistic synthesis give grounds to state the emergence of complexity economics, which is characterized by fundamentally new dimensions and parameters.
Keywords:digital economy, paradigm, blockchain, logic, mechanism, cost, platform, complexity.
