“…Not only the economic and social ratings and indices are gaining a special significance, but also indices that cover some aspects of the digital economy development, such as indices of the information society. For example, the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) was designed in the European Union in 2015 for the purpose of identifying priority investment areas for the creation of the digital market and helping the EU countries to improve digital productivity (Stoica & Bogoslov, 2017). For the fourth consecutive year, the Huawei company explores the trends of digital economy by its global network interaction index (Global Connectivity Index, or GCI).…”

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.

“…The index has been analysed by numerous scholars, in particular by Stoica and Bogoslov (2017). The basis of the research was to compare the values of the index or its components in different countries, or the definition of the index value for a particular country (Pilinski, 2015).…”

“…Specifically, the DESI has been used by academics to understand and compare the progress made by the groups or the individual EU Member States across different areas of the digital transformation, but also in relation to the government services, the economic, social, or cultural aspects. One of the main benefits of DESI is the possibility of monitoring the progress made by individual countries over time in relation to both EU and national strategies and activities [44]- [47]. Regional and local DESI indicators are also providing a development framework [48].…”

Measuring the digital socio-economic transformation is an essential part of good, appropriate, knowledge-based decision making. Multiple national and international indexes measure the various aspects of the digital transformation, such as the telecommunication infrastructure development, digital skills, eGovernment, eCommerce, eBusiness, etc. Focusing on the integration of the indicators that affect the digital economy and society, the European Union (EU) launched the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) in 2014 aimed to measure the progress made by the EU Member States in the progress in digital performance and competitiveness. Composed of five dimensions, DESI measures both, the impact of the digital transformation on the Digital Economy and Digital Society.As the DESI and its indicators are part of the EU Acquis Communautaire, all candidates and potential candidates for EU membership must be prepared to provide complete datasets for measuring the indicators introduced and used by the EU. Currently, all Western Balkan (WB) economies are either candidates or potential candidates for EU membership. With the digital agenda ranked high on the government agendas, this raises the questions of the level of preparedness of the WB economies in providing the complete highquality datasets required to calculate the DESI. Specifically, how is the WB economy data methodologically aligned with the DESI and other relevant EU methodologies (e.g. Survey on ICT usage in households and by individuals, Study on Broadband Coverage in Europe, eGovernment Benchmark Study, etc.)? This paper aims to assess the readiness of each WB economy to provide the complete datasets for the DESI indicators. Key findings are that WB economies are generally ready to provide methodologically align data for the DESI indicators, especially for the indicators that use data from the national databases. Key challenges in the existing domestic methodologies are generally linked to the indicators that are extracted from the Commission ad hoc studies, especially for those where the WB economies (or some of them) are not included.

“…E tanulmányok szerzői a vizsgált témától függően gyakran hivatkoznak a DESI kompozit index vagy az egyes DESI-dimenziók és -mutatók értékeire, amelyek relevanciáját, az adott terület jellemzésére való megfelelőségét viszont általában nem elemzik. Stoica-Bogoslov [2017] a DESI öt dimenziója segítségével, idősoros elemzéssel jellemzik Románia és az EU digitális versenyképességét; bemutatva, hogy Románia jelentős fejlődésen ment keresztül a vizsgált időszakban. A szerzők azonban korrelációs elemzést nem végeznek a rendelkezésre álló adatokon.…”
