Title

Digital economy: technological, organizational and cultural contexts for the development of cooperation in Europe


Abstract

This study aims at assessing the influence of Digital Economy on socio-economic contexts in Europe. Specifically, the assessment of this relationship was developed by performing a statistical regression analysis and by considering, on the one hand, for digital aspects, the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI), and on the other hand, four socioeconomic indexes (Social Progress Index, Corruption Perception Index, Global Innovation Index, Doing Business). The study measures the potential existence of a correlation between DESI and its dimensions and every of the four socio-economic indexes also evaluating the characteristics of those correlations. Additionally, the analysis identifies the foremost influential DESI dimensions to supply the digital leverage within which to focus so as to reinforce socio-economic position. The results showing the correlations and therefore the intensity between the variable considered, highlight the influence of a number of them because the most effective digital levers that European countries should address so as to aspire the achievement of satisfactory leads to the socio-economic context.
