In the digital economy, the requirements of business, society and the state for the data provided by official statistics are increasing. The purpose of this study is to determine the features of statistical research in the digital economy and form, on this basis, criteria for assessing the level of development of the digital economy. There is a need for a statistical measurement of the development of the digital economy, while international standards in this area have not yet been formed. To solve this problem, it is necessary to develop a methodology for statistical observation, including for new processes and phenomena; optimize the collection and processing of primary data; to provide new forms of information presentation and the possibility of its flexible use by all interested users. The construction of an integrated system of statistical observations involves the full use of alternative data sources. To identify patterns, assess the scale and dynamics of the development of the digital economy, a systematic approach to statistics is required, which involves the development of a conceptual apparatus, the formation of a local classification and a system of statistical indicators, a statistical observation program and data collection tools. The work proposes a number of promising areas of statistical measurement of the digital economy, on the basis of which it is necessary to develop a set of corresponding e-criteria. To increase the reliability, accuracy and reliability of data, it is advisable to combine them from various sources and ensure that users are provided with appropriate information in accordance with their quality requirements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
