The paper performs the results of analysis due to the problem of categorization and classification of digital economy in order to assess its contribution to economic growth. The evolution of approaches to understanding the concept of digital economy is noted – evolution from Internet economy to perception of digital technologies as a factor in any economic activity. We analyzed one of the models categorizing digital economy, based on assessing the need for the use of digital technologies (it includes three categories – the ICT sector, the digital economy itself, the digitalized economy), and also indicated the shortcomings of the concept, in particular, impossibility to reliably determine the critical need of using digital technologies for different types of economic activity, thus they fall into related categories according to the classification. In addition, the paper analyzes the possibility of classifying the digital economy as a knowledge economy for further more accurate definition and categorization of "digital economy" concept. Based on the results of the analysis, key features of digital economy were identified for the further development of updated concept of digital economy and possibility of optimal categorization during further research. These features include science intensity, which is, among other things, cause existing difficulties in categorizing economic sectors and attributing them to the digital sector due to the diffusion of knowledge (and specifically digital technologies as the final result of knowledge accumulation), as well as their extensive penetration into most economic processes. As a result, it is necessary to develop a toolkit that can quantify the value of science intensity (manufacturability) of a particular sector of the economy in order to most accurately categorize and assess the contribution of the digital economy to economic growth. The second key feature of the digital economy is the reduction of transaction costs of interaction between economic agents (based on the concept of horizontal, vertical and diagonal costs by J. Commons) as a result of using digital products.

The problems of the digital economy development are central, since the introduction of digital technologies in the reproduction process provides for increased efficiency and reduced production costs. This fact encourages the development of digital platforms and mechanisms that allow to accelerate the process of interaction between different actors and reduce the transaction costs of coordinating economic interests at the micro and macro levels, which will eventually lead to economic growth. In this regard, the problem of digitalization of the Russian economy and its branches is relevant.


The current economic terms and conditions stimulate investments in digital transformations. Digital technologies act as drivers, including for education and vocational training. The companies that invest in information technologies for education and HR training realize that investments in HR and the development of skills in education and vocational training are recognized as key factors of the economic growth. This article aims at analyzing the peculiarities of investing in digital learning technologies in the context of the digital economy. In the article the relevance of investing in HR has been substantiated, and the foreign experience of stimulating investments in digital learning technologies has been analyzed. Based on the expert survey, the possibilities of HR digital training have been analyzed, and the peculiarities of various forms of digital training have been defined.

The pursuit of economic growth stands out as one of the main imperatives within modern economies. Nevertheless, economies differ considerably in their competitiveness. Theories on the endogeneity of growth agree on the value of knowledge creation and innovativeness to determine a country’s capability to achieve a sustained performance and to adapt to the dynamics of changing environments and faster information flows. To this effect, national institutional regimes shape nation-specific contexts and embed individuals and firms. The resulting incentive structures shape the attitudes and behavior of individuals and firms alike, whose interactions contribute to the accumulation and flow of knowledge among the nodes of their networks. National systems of innovation (NSIs) therefore embody a concept that aims to analyze the national innovation performance of economies. It rests its rationale in the variation of national institutions that shape the diffusion of technologies through the process of shared knowledge creation and the development of learning routines. Both public and private institutions are thought to interact in a given nation-specific institutional context that essentially affects incentive schemes and resource allocation of the involved economic agents in creating, sharing, distributing, absorbing, and commercializing knowledge. To this effect, public policy plays a key role in the NSI through building bridges between these actors, reducing information asymmetries, and providing them with resources from others within the system. The different actors contributing to the creation and diffusion of knowledge within the system are needed to exchange information and provide the engine for sustained economic growth. Universities, research institutes, companies and the individual entrepreneur are in charge of shaping their economic system in a way that resource and skill complementarities are exploited to the mutual benefit.

In this paper, we try to investigate the contribution of digitalization on economic growth in both developed and developing countries over the period 1990-2020. For this end, different econometric tools are applied on a panel dataset. Overall, we show that the digital technologies seem to significantly and positively affect economic growth in both groups of countries. The digitalization impact level tends to differ across countries. Our empirical results also display that the short- and long-term relationship between information and communication technologies and economic growth is well documented. Such results can be useful for policymakers to enhance the digital economy and provide novel channels to develop adequate policies and promote new institutions. So, benefits from digitalization can lead to realize substantial economic growth.

Цифровая экономика быстро растет и развивается, особенно в России. Тем не менее, основные измерительные показатели могут расходиться в отношении других сфер, в особенности по отношению к человеческому капиталу. Целью данной статьи является оценка влияния цифровых технологий на человеческий капитал, выявление корреляционных зависимостей между факторами цифровой экономики и человеческого капитала, и описание факторов, которые оказывают наибольшее влияние на развитие человеческого капитала в различных регионах Российской Федерации. В качестве объектов анализа в ходе исследования были взяты 8 федеральных округов Российской Федерации для оценки влияния цифровых технологий на человеческий капитал путем формирования корреляционных взаимосвязей различных факторов. В качестве метода исследования применяется количественный анализ. Источником данных является база данных Федеральной службы государственной статистики. В результате проведенного исследования авторы доказали, что факторы цифровой экономики оказывают значительное влияние и способствуют развитию человеческого капитала; были выявлены факторы, которые оказывают наибольшее и наименьшее влияние и из полученных данных были выявлены регионы, где наблюдается наибольшая взаимосвязь цифровой экономики и человеческого капитала. Практический аспект данного исследования дает возможность использовать полученные результаты при внедрении цифровых технологий для повышения уровня человеческого капитала экономических агентов на всех уровнях хозяйствования. Теоретическая значимость проведенного исследования заключается в идентификации факторов цифровой экономики, оказывающих влияние на увеличение качества человеческого капитала в регионах, что может выступить основанием для поведения последующих исследований влияния цифровизации региональных социально-экономических систем на развитие человеческого капитала. The digital economy is growing and developing rapidly, especially in Russia. Nevertheless, the main scales numbers could be different in relationship to the others spheres including human capital. The major aim of this study is to estimate how digital technologies can affect human capital, glean out the correlation dependences of factors between digital economy and human capital and factors that affect the most of human capital in the different regions of Russia. During the going of this research were taken 8 federal areas of Russia and analyzed the effect of digital technologies that belong to the digital economy on human capital in the way of forming different correlation factors. The main method of research was chosen the quantitative analyze. The source of data was base of data of Federal Statistics Service. After completing the research the authors demonstrated and prove the following: there are the factors of digitalized economy that strongly influencing the level of growth of human capital and there are factors that don’t do it, and taking this factors into account authors of this research took all the regions and highlighted and put them in different categories them basing on that what impact they give at their best and their lowest. The practical aspect of this research makes it possible to use the results obtained when introducing digital technologies to increase the level of human capital of economic agents at all levels of management in the country resources. The theoretical aspect of this research is in the recognition of social and economic systems of regions, which on their level impact the growth of human capital.

The article contains a study of existing views on the economic content of big data. From among the views, within which the authors define big data, the descriptive-model, utility-digital and complex-technological approaches are formulated. Against the back- ground of the large-scale spread of digital technologies (machine learning, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, etc.), functioning thanks to big data, the study of their economic essence is becoming especially relevant. As a result, it was found that the basis of economic activity in the digital economy is big data. The definition of big data as a resource of the digital economy is proposed.

Scientific thought is constantly looking for new sources and drivers of economic development and growth. In this regard, the digital economy becomes a buzzword as a major endogenous factor stimulating economic activity of a country and its regions. Therefore, its emergence, development, and measurement become high on the agenda. The paper summarises theoretical and methodological aspects of the study of the digital economy as the major driver boosting the regional economy. The methodological basis of the research rests on the contributions by Bukht and Heeks, the English scholars of the Global Development Institute, who introduced a three-scope approach to understanding the digital economy. The research team also draws on the method to compute the business digitalisation index developed by the Russian scholars of the National Research University Higher School of Economics. As a result of the research the authors propose their method for calculating the composite indicator of the regional economy digitalisation and test it on the Ural macroregion. The method uses a set of 12 specific indicators which shows how deep the digital economy and digital technologies have spread into the region. The study revealed the following distinctive features of the digital economy developing in the subjects of the Russian Federation constituting the Ural macroregion: significant differentiation of the digitalisation levels across the subjects; finished primary stage of the digitalisation process; dissimilar potential for the digital economy development among the subjects; correlation between the level of the regional economy digitalisation and economic growth.

As a result of COVID-19, the world is experiencing shocks and the risk of increasing uncertainty affecting various sectors, like the health, social and economic sectors. In the economic sector, economic activity has decreased. Numerous companies have laid off their employees because their businesses could not survive, and there is decreased business productivity, which has resulted in reduced public consumption and reduced economic growth. In a situation like this, humans are required to be able to adapt to existing conditions, by innovating to create new business fields or trying to become entrepreneurs to encourage economic growth. The economic activity amid the pandemic’s challenges has been initiated by the government in order for the Indonesian economy to revive, and universities in Jakarta, Tangerang, and Bekasi ( Jabeka) are trying to create new entrepreneurs in the economic sector. The purpose of this research was to describe the strategy of universities in creating students as entrepreneurs amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The research subjects were the program managers and the entrepreneurs’ lecturers. Descriptive qualitative methods were used, with Miles and Huberman data. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that universities prepared students very well in terms of the curriculum, teaching, entrepreneurial activities, and soft skills that students must have before graduating from tertiary education, such as requiring students to carry out entrepreneurship activities while being students. Keywords: strategy, universities, entrepreneurs.
