Analysis Of The Impact Of Digital Technologies On Economic Relations In Society

Abstract

The paper focuses on the problems connected with the economic slowdown, which lasted up to the beginning of a new global crisis, and with the strengthening of economy digitalisation processes. The authors examine published data on the growth of crime mostly related to cybercrime. Remote work and the need to independently organise a digital workflow as well as an enormous increase in the volume of online commerce, information technologies and export services against the background of a lack of money changes the specifics of economic crimes, increases the share of fraudulent transactions and the number of shadow economic schemes. The research proves this dependence while working out a regression equation. The authors introduce results of their analysis of factors which were obtained through a system of digital indicators and have a major impact on the formation and development of the shadow economy in times of crisis. They also give analysis of illegal international trade, identify disadvantages and problem areas of digitalisation of all market institutions and explore threats from cybercrime and losses from the shadow economy sector. In conclusion, the researchers describe electronic cybercrimes and shadow schemes which come forward with the strengthening of the role of the Internet in the economic relations of society.
