“…The purpose of the System Initiative of the World Economic Forum 'Forming the Future of the Digital Economy and Society' is to contribute to the development of a common digital environment that creates trust, which is the driving force of integration, economic development and social progress. (Giannone & Santaniello, 2018) In general, digital economy is not only the relationships that are mediated by the internet, cellular communication, ICT. It changes business interaction; destroys a long chain of mediators; accelerates the progress of various transactions (loans, leases, sales, taxes, settlements, etc.…”

The paper analyzes the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI), which characterizes the development of digital economy. Based on the data of 28 European countries for 2013–2018, using the panel regression, we studied the influence of the consumption index growth by the purchasing power parity and unemployment among the active population on the structural units of DESI. It is shown that a 1% increase in the consumption index results in about 0.2 increase in the DESI, and an increase in unemployment by 1% leads to about 0.2 DESI decline. It is also shown that the 98% value of DESI is actually determined by its previous trends, and therefore it is impossible to increase this index rapidly. Some reflections and conclusions are made on the perspective of the developing states, i.e., Ukraine, that is not yet assessed in DESI ranking.

“…Th e second research area is related to a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data available from international ratings and rankings (Chung 2019;Dias 2019;Orlova et al 2019;Giannone and Santaniello 2018;Russo 2019), regardless of the fact that this available data oft en is related to previous stages of implementing digital technologies in public administration (i.e. digitization) and may not fully refl ect the outcomes from digital transformation.…”

“…While the introduction of DESI proposed a common basis for rating the progress in digital government development, some authors argue that it also diverted the focus of national digital transformation from the issues not covered by these indicators, such as network neutrality and open-source soft ware (Giannone and Santaniello 2018). Notably, digital government indicators included in DESI do not include other important eff ects of government digitalization, such as e-participation, the use of advanced digital technologies, such as the Internet of things and artifi cial intelligence in public administration, and the like.…”

Digital transformation is the modern mainstream of social and economic development promising significant digital dividends to citizens and businesses worldwide. The theory highlights the importance of digitalization for optimizing the public value of government services for citizens; however, despite the high enthusiasm about the prospects of digital transformation in public administration, there is little literature on measuring actual benefits this process might provide to all stakeholders concerned. While some recent research suggests high correlation between governance indicators and e-government development, the causality between the two is not confirmed statistically for most public administration indicators. International indices used to measure government digitalization (such as the UN E-Government Development Index) often concentrate only on e-services and are based on measuring the availability rather than the actual use or quality of such modes of service delivery; they concentrate more on measuring G2C and, to some extent, G2B interactions and often omit the effects of digitalization for the G2G and G2E dimensions. The EU Digital economy and society index (DESI) is one of the most advanced cases for measuring the progress of digitalization in the EU, but even in this case the costs of digitalization and potential risks of digital government are not fully accounted for. The paper provides an extensive review of theoretical and practical approaches to measuring government digitalization, identifies key limitations and proposes some steps for enhancing the existing practices. The paper argues that government digital transformation should not be performed for its own sake but should be a means for raising effectiveness and efficiency of public administration. Therefore, both benefits and risks of digital transformation of performing all core government functions for various stakeholders (citizens, businesses, government itself, and public officials) should be accounted for.

“…Az először 2015-ben kiadott DESI, bár megalkotásától fogva élénk szakértői viták kereszttüzében áll, és -mint később bemutatjuk -problémák azonosíthatók a számításának alapját képező felmérés módszertanával, illetve adatgyűjtési rendszereivel kapcsolatban is, az egyik legfontosabb és leggyakrabban hivatkozott mutató, amely véleményünk szerint "megkerülhetetlen" az európai digitalizáció folyamatának jellemzésekor. Az előbb említett szakértői viták színhelyei főként az EU intézményei és a tagországok kormányzatai mellett működő szakpolitikai műhelyek, fórumok voltak, a tudományos közlemények között ugyanakkor viszonylag kevés DESI-t vizsgáló munkát találhatunk (de ezek is csak a DESI más mérőszámokkal, mutatókkal való összehasonlítására irányulnak; Kotarba [2017], Moroz [2017], Giannone-Santaniello [2018], Csótó [2019]). Ismereteink szerint matematikaistatisztikai módszerekkel a DESI-dimenziókat eddig még nem vizsgálták szisztematikusan, tanulmányunkkal ezért részben ezt a hiányt próbáljuk pótolni.…”
