The beginning of the XXI century is marked by the advent of the digital economy. In order to achieve the expected results from the digital revolution in economic and social terms, it is necessary to develop a mechanism for managing the digital transformation of the economy, in the implementation of which representatives of all stakeholders must take an active part: the state, business, education system, civil society. There are quite a lot of forecasts of negative consequences of the fourth industrial revolution, namely its latest technological achievements – robotics, digitalization, artificial intelligence, etc. – on the state of employment in the labor market on the scale of a single country and the entire global space. The constructive dialogue of the participants in the digital transformation should be based on the analysis of the impact of technological progress on employment in several aspects: short – term – temporary increase in unemployment due to the discrepancy between the structure of demand and the structure of labor supply; long-term-on the progressive reduction of demand for labor due to its technologization. The article focuses on the need for high-quality training of qualified personnel, demanded by the labor market and the real sector of the economy, the relevance of competencies which will be maintained in the long term. The author emphasizes that at the same time that technological progress leads to the elimination of «old» professions, it also dictates the need for the emergence of fundamentally new professions and the creation of new jobs, the effect of which can be significantly higher. The conducted research allowed to identify the prospects and possibilities of the technological transformation in the various sectors of the economy, at the same time stresses the need to undertake analysis of its economic feasibility in relation to the specific features of each company. The analysis of digital transformation of the industry has allowed to reveal new progressive business models, the axis of which are digital technologies.

Digital technologies, ubiquitous in our daily life, have radically changed the way we work, communicate, and consume in a short period of time. They affect all components of quality of life: well-being, work, health, education, social connections, environmental quality, the ability to participate and govern civil society, and so on. Digital transformation creates both opportunities and serious risks to the well-being of people. Researchers and statistical agencies around the world are facing a major challenge to develop new tools to analyze the impact of digital transformation on the well-being of the population. The risks are very diverse in nature and it is very difficult to identify the key factor. All researchers conclude that secure digital technologies significantly improve the lives of those who have the skills to use them and pose a serious risk of inequality for society, as they introduce a digital divide between those who have the skills to use them and those who do not. In the article, the author examines the risks created by digital technologies for some components of the quality of life (digital component of the quality of life), which are six main components: the digital quality of the population, providing the population with digital benefits, the labor market in the digital economy, the impact of digitalization on the social sphere, state electronic services for the population and the security of information activities. The study was carried out on the basis of the available statistical base and the results of research by scientists from different countries of the world. The risks of the digital economy cannot be ignored when pursuing state social policy. Attention is paid to government regulation aimed at reducing the negative consequences of digitalization through the prism of national, federal projects and other events.

The article examines the positive effects and negative consequences of the digital transformation of the national economy in terms of waves of technological progress and the spread of innovation. It is determined that the development of the digital economy is the most obvious result of the wave-like nature of digitalization. A three-sector model of the digital economy is proposed, where the primary sector is its core and includes fundamental innovations (semiconductors, microprocessors), basic technologies (computers, telecommunications devices), stimulating infrastructure (Internet and telecommunications networks); the secondary sector includes services based on basic digital technologies, including digital platforms, mobile applications, and electronic payment systems; tertiary – a digital economy based on a wide range of digital products and services, including e-commerce and new activities or business models that are transformed as a result of digital technologies. A system of indicators has been formed that provides a quantitative interpretation of the economic and social consequences of the process of the digital transformation of the national economy. Such an assessment will help to understand the potential impact of digital transformation on economic growth, which is often uneven, both within the country and between countries with different levels of socio-economic development. This impact was considered in several parameters, including labor productivity, gross domestic product, value-added, employment, as well as for various components of the digital economy. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the net impact on the overall economy is difficult to assess mainly due to the imperfection of existing methods of assessing the digital economy. It was found that the most threatening consequences of the digital transformation are labor displacement, as the exponential change in technology leads to the use of robots, autonomous vehicles, sensors, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, changing the workflow towards greater flexibility with the predominant use of temporary labor. The types of work organizations that are likely to be part of the working ecosystem for at least the next 10 years are described.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the activity of regional commercial banks. The purpose of this article is to identify risks and prospects for the development of regional commercial banks in the digital economy. The author explores the concept of a regional bank, analyzes the peculiarities of the activities of regional banks in modern conditions of increasing banking competition. The article analyzes the state and trends of the development of the banking regional sector from the point of view of efficiency increase of their activities. It is shown that the number of regional banks is constantly declining, and a number of constituent entities of the Russian Federation do not have any longer in the structure of their regional banking system banking credit organizations chartered in their territory as a legal entity. The authors concluded that the development of regional banks can be efficient only through the qualitative growth of each individual regional bank, since in quantitative terms this sector of the Russian banking systems will only decrease. As an example the activity of Rostov bank Tsent-Invest and the regional bank of the Republic of Tatarstan Ak Bars Bank are shown, which occupied certain niches in the Russian banking system and fully compete with foreign banks. To identify and assess the current risks of the activity of regional banks specific characteristics of the digital transformation of the banking industry are determined. As the main risks of development, the authors identified the following ones: risk of increased banking competition, on the one hand, and the risk of monopolization of the banking market, on the other; risk of underfunding of financial technologies; information risks and cyber risks; risks of insufficient financial literacy of consumers of banking products and services; risks of customer base reduction. As opportunities for the development of regional banks the use of remote banking services, allowing to attract new customers, expansion of participation in the state programs, emergence of opportunities for the introduction and development of new business models, in particular ESG-banking are identified. The Bank of Russia can provide certain support for the development of regional banks in the context of digital transformation and increasing banking competition by creating and developing nationwide banking infrastructure platforms.

The relevance of this article is due to the practical purpose of studying the foreign experience of taxation with a view to further use in the process of improving the Russian mechanism of the tax system. Existing differences in tax legislation in many countries allow international corporations to use a variety of ways to avoid paying enough taxes. The organization for economic cooperation and development (OECD) has been fighting such corporate tax crimes for several years, but has not always offered solutions that address the potential negative consequences for developing countries. To this end, the BEPS plan was developed in 2013 and finally adopted in 2015. It is a list of OECD measures to counteract the erosion of the tax base and the removal of multinational companies from taxation. The article considers international projects based on global monitoring the tax services of various States and current trends in the development and improvement of the tax administrating in accordance with the requirements of the BEPS plan and the digital economy. Those measures are presented in the article as a system for adapting the tax service to new ways of doing business based on the developing digital economy. At the same time, two issues of tax adaptation are solved. First, how to determine the tax presence in a given tax jurisdiction. Second, what is the role of the data and users and their dependence on intangible assets that characterize new digital business models, how and where the final product or service is created. In conclusion, the authors formulate recommendations for the organization of effective and efficient taxation of participants in the production process in the digital economy: it is necessary to secure taxpayers against unnecessary costs associated with tax administrating; the introduction of a fair approach to economic entities over a proportional tax burden; promote legal and regulatory certainty; comply with the principles of free competition in the absence of whatsoever protectionist measures on the part of the state; mitigate the impact on countries with weak economies.

The article examines the impact of digitalization on the labor market. The transition to the digital economy is a natural process and requires modernization of employment. Therefore, digital employment is formed, which is implemented through online platforms. The new forms of employment are evolving, due to innovative processes and transformation of the economy as a whole. The non-standard employment gains wide spread in such forms as: freelancing; tv work; borrowed employment (personnel leasing, outsourcing, outstaffing). The positive and negative consequences of such a transition for the labor market are reflected in the presented publication. The experience of mass implementation of the remote format of work during the isolation regime caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is also considered. The economy’s focus on digital development leads to the reduction and further disappearance of some specialties, accompanied by the emergence of new ones. Already, internet banking, e-government, automatic accounting programs, etc. are becoming widespread. Rapid response to technological challenges can eliminate some of the negative consequences of these changes through training and retraining of employees. Automation and robotics of production processes will undoubtedly lead to an increase in unemployment, so now it is important to develop an effective employment policy. However, professions such as engineers, actors, teachers, managers, social workers are still impossible to replace with robots. Therefore, such activities require a high level of human capital, which becomes the most important resource of economic growth. Countries should be prepared to solve problems inherent in the digital economy. Stimulating investment in information and communication technologies (ICT) and additional innovations will contribute to the growth of productivity and employment.

The digital economy is becoming a development trend in most modern countries, the basis for sustainable economic growth and living standards of the population. In this regard, it seems relevant to consider the significance of the impact of the digital economy on the welfare state. The purpose of the article is to study the influence of the digital economy on the quality and living conditions of citizens in a welfare state. Methodology. The study is based on a systemic approach, within which the digital economy has been viewed as an external phenomenon (input) that has been able to affect the welfare state system (output). Results. The hypothesis of the study that the digital economy improves the quality and living conditions of citizens in a welfare state was partially confirmed. However, it became clear that in addition to positive, the digital economy has negative consequences for people. For example, the digital economy improves the ability to solve many social problems, but at the same time creates new problems. For example, it creates new jobs, new professions, as a result of which workers in traditional professions become unclaimed. The digital economy not only solves and creates problems, but also exposes them. So, it has clearly outlined the problem of social inequality in Ukraine. Undoubtedly, the digitalization of public social services makes life easier for people, but only if they are prepared for this process. Digital illiteracy of the population, characteristic of countries lagging behind in technological development, including Ukraine, is an obstacle to the introduction of digitalization into the social sphere. At the same time, the state is not ready for the active introduction of digital technologies into the system of social policy yet due to the lack of necessary resources. Digitalization will not improve people’s lives until the state has funds for social policy. And yet, some measures are being taken in this direction.

Subject. The article examines the impact of digital transformation determinants on the consumer behavior model. Objectives. I set my own approach to adjusting the socio-economic policy of the State so as to accumulate positive effects of the digital transformation of households' consumption and create a new society of consumers. Methods. The study is based on principles of the systemic integration and cross-disciplinary approaches. Results. I substantiate the scientific concept about the origination of the digital paradigm of the modern society and transformation of the consumption and the conceptual model of the consumers' economic behavior in the digital economy so as to amplify and unfold the theory of consumption. The article indicates socio-economic and institutional mechanisms for accumulating positive effects of the digital transformation of households' consumption and create a new society of consumers. Conclusions and Relevance. The integration of brand new technologies, accelerating globalization, use of information as a key production driver are indicative of an emerging paradigm of the economic development, i.e. the digital economy. I present my own conceptual model of consumer behavior, where the consumer is concurrently viewed as the center of his/her own ecosystem and leaves a digital trial through related constituents of the digital environment. Understanding the phenomenon, I managed to describe social and economic externalities arising from the digitalization of consumption. I also formulated financial and institutional mechanisms for the national policy to eliminate negative effects and raise a new society of consumers.

AbstractThe main aim of the paper is to investigate and discuss the influence of digital transformation (DT) on the processes, tools, and outcomes of project management. It seems to be accepted that not only has the digital economy a great impact on the technologies used, but it affects the transition of strategies, business models, structures, or competences. The objective of the research demonstrated in this paper was to identify the main dimensions and scope of the impact of DT on the area of project management. The conclusions as to the multidimensionality of this impact were drawn on the basis of empirical investigations conducted on a sample of around a hundred of project managers and on the analyses of their perception of the most important aspects of DT. The crucial themes, as well as the advantages and barriers of DT, were discussed briefly.

Contemporary state of the distribution of mycoplasma diseases of cultivated crops in Ukraine was analyzed. The changes of the physiological state of plant cells under the impact of mollicutes were investigated. It was demonstrated that there is temporary increase in the activity of peroxidase, catalase, polyphenoloxidase, phenylalanine-ammonia-lyase at the early stages of interaction. The adhesive properties are changed in the mollicutes under the impact of plant lectin; there is synthesis of new polypeptides. It was determined that the phytopathogenic acholeplasma is capable of producing a complex of proteolytic enzymes into the culture me- dium. It was concluded that when plant cells are infected with acholeplasma, a number of signaling interactions and metabolic transformations condition the recognition of pathogenesis and ensure the aggregate response of a plant to stress in the form of defense reactions. It was assumed that some specifi cities of the biology of phy- topathogenic acholeplasma determine their avoiding the immune mechanisms of plants and promote long-term persistence of mollicutes.
