Digital Shadow

Abstract Although during the past few years the scopes of shadow economy in Lithuania have slightly decreased, different forms of this phenomenon, in particular digital shadow activities, still generate a significant part of the overall value added. As no constant estimations of the scope of digital shadow economy have been made in Lithuania, alleviation of this problem is based on consequence fighting rather than reason elimination. Digital shadow economy poses a significant challenge for law enforcement agencies concerning its investigation and prevention. Hence, it is purposeful to research both theoretical and practical aspects of digital shadow economy prevention in order to identify the measures that could be used for the efficient reduction of the scope of this phenomenon. The aim of this research is to identify the measures of digital shadow economy prevention and compare the attitudes of governmental institutions and consumers towards the efficiency of these measures. The results of the empirical research showed that both consumers and experts agree that the level of tax morale has to be raised not only by using the measures of self-education but also by introducing long-term educational programmes; second, public authorities should ensure business friendly environment, actively implement the principles of justice and officially acknowledge and announce the concept of digital shadow economy; finally, for more efficient detection of the cases of digital shadow activities, it is necessary to reinforce current labour resources that should be specially trained to be able to disclose revenue hiding and tax evasion schemes, employed in e-trade.

Digital Shadow

The purpose of this article is to define the concept of digital shadow economy and identify its determinants and channels from consumers’ position. In order to fulfil the defined purpose, the method of snowball sampling was employed. The results of the research revealed that consumers interpret digital shadow economy as an illegal operation in the Internet space, which generates illegal money flows for commodity/service providers or purchasers, and deprives legal traders/service providers from the revenue that could be officially accounted, calculated and declared. E-shops, social networks and websites are the channels, most commonly engaged for acquisition of goods/services in digital space; the categories of goods/services acquired by these channels include clothing and footwear, trips and entertainment, cosmetics and perfume. Purification of the concept of digital shadow economy from consumers’ position allowed to define the concept of digital shadow economy, which is a significant contribution to the evolution of the theory of digital shadow economy, and can enable to develop an instrument for measuring the scopes of digital shadow economy in further research.

Digital Shadow

The article is devoted to the shadow digital economy as part of the shadow economy. The authors believe that, unlike the traditional shadow economy, the digital shadow economy is aimed not only at making a profit, but also at getting access to valuable digital, financial resources and/or databases. This topic is poorly studied in Russia, while foreign research centers have already started a serious analysis of statistical data on the digital shadow economy for commercial purposes. Most of the sources of this study are foreign publications, which indicates the international nature of the analyzed phenomenon. The lack of consensus of the world community on the shadow markets and cryptocurrency as products of the shadow digital economy leads to the lack of joint and more effective international cooperation in combatting financial cyber-crime, as well as international criminal syndicates engaged in the sale of illegal products. The authors give arguments about the relevance of this phenomenon to the realities of the Russian Federation, offer their own scientific definition of the shadow digital economy and give appropriate recommendations to combat this phenomenon.

This article is aimed at the ascertainment of whether the determinants of digital shadow economy are included in the methods of traditional shadow economy estimation. The results of the research have disclosed that the methods of shadow economy estimation consider general economic, monetary, money turnover, electricity and energy consumption, labour market, taxation, legal, and societal variables. However, the determinants of digital shadow economy are not included in the methods of shadow economy estimation, which not only impedes understanding of the real scopes of this phenomenon, but also complicates development of the measures aimed at digital shadow economy investigation and prevention.

Digital Shadow

The virtual environment is a phenomenon that has grown exponentially in recent years, changing the way the economy evolves. Through e-commerce, social media platforms, online stores, or websites, financial resources are rolled both legally and illegally. Thus, some transactions are not accounted for or taxed, and also the concept of the digital shadow economy, defined as economic shadow activities conducted in electronic space, with no physical contact is increasingly present today. This paper aims to review and systematically analyze, through bibliometric analysis, using the Web of Science scientific platform and the VOSviewer software, the notion of digital shadow economy, determining the current state of knowledge in the field. Also, a comparative research was performed between digital shadow economy and the traditional shadow economy. The main findings reveal that digital shadow economy has a novelty character that refers to an economy based on digitized services and products, which escapes the official estimates of the GDP and the main research tendencies concern the conceptualization of the term and its main activity channels, aspects that distinguish it from traditional shadow economy. Furthermore, a thematic cluster, containing links to the digital shadow economy term can be noticed to be around cybercrimes.
