Digital Economic Networks in the Context of Global Transformations

Theoretically, the digital economy (DE) is the core of the modern networked economic system, and in practice - a growing sector of national and world economies. The essential features of information technologies (IT) as a new phenomenon in the socio-economic system are complemented on an interdisciplinary basis by the epistemology of information and computer sciences, electronic technologies and platforms. This refers to the widespread use of margins (marginal costs, marginal capital, marginal labor, etc.) and concepts such as institutions, trust, risk, security, etc. The purpose of the study is to investigate the trends of economic digitalization, theoretical and methodological changes and applied vision of economic processes. Analysis, comparison, and generalization were used in the study. The study considers the current trends of digitalization of the economy, which cause significant theoretical and methodological changes and a new applied vision of economic processes. In the current conditions, the actual economic laws of IT are determined by the prevailing concepts and doctrines - neoclassical and neo-institutional. It was concluded that the synergistic synthesis of the categorical framework of the economic mainstream and computer sciences allows for the development of complexity economics, which is characterized by fundamentally new dimensions and parameters.
