Assessing the impact of blockchain technologies on the national economy: Methodological approaches and their testing
Despite the very high interest from international and national financial institutions, and also enterprises from the real sector of the economy demonstrated in the distributed data storage technology, studies on the problems of assessing the use of the blockchain platform potential in the socioeconomic environment, and their theoretical understanding can be met vary rarely. As a rule, existing works reveal either the technical side of the study object or the regulatory or legal aspects of the applicability of blockchain technologies in the national economy. In this regard, this work attempts to overcome this conditional vacuum of understanding in order to make up for conditions with questions revealing other aspects of the research subject, for example, such as the economic and social effects of introducing blockchain technologies into the activities of business entities. A formalized assessment and scenario modeling of the dynamics of GDP growth in the new institutional business environment is carried out on the basis of the emerging effects assessment caused by the integration of distributed data storage technologies into the system of business operations.
