Оценка влияния информатизации общественного производства на экономический рост

Abstract

By the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century, the development model of a post-industrial society had practically reached the end of its capabilities, which is clearly evidenced by a series of economic crises (global and country-specific), which led to a decrease in economic growth. Meanwhile, the Okinawa Charter of the Global Information Society notes that information and communication technologies (ICT) are one of the most important factors influencing the formation of society in the twenty-first century and are capable of radically rebuilding the system of social reproduction. The article examines the impact of digital technologies, which currently underlie the vast majority of public, social and industrial processes, on changes in macroeconomic indicators, since the digital economy is becoming an integral part of the global economy, occupying an ever-increasing part of it. In this regard, it seems relevant to assess the relationship and impact of information technologies on the rate of economic growth (gross domestic product), including with the aim of understanding the role of information technologies and the degree of their impact on economic growth, which is decisive for assessing the effects of digitalization, as well as searching ways of intensive development of productive forces. The results obtained can be further used in the development of priority directions for the transformation of the national economy.
