DIGITALIZATION OF THE VALUE REPRODUCTION OF THE PUBLIC PRODUCT
The article summarizes approaches to the analysis of the cost processes of social reproduction in the digital economy. It is emphasized that digital platforms, the architecture of their construction transform the formation order of both the entire set of parameters and individual components of the value of the total social product. Along with the labor theory of value, the digital theory of value begins to take shape in the socio-economic reality. It is proved that in the conditions of the digital economy, the components of the total social product penetrate much deeper into the initial and subsequent processes of forming the components of the product value. There is a significant difference between the digital environment of reproduction processes and the corresponding socioeconomic environment in the conditions of the analog economy. It is argued that the economy digitalization also contributes to the establishment and calculation of macroeconomic indicators of the system of national accounts, based on a new technological level of construction. With the help of certain end-to-end digital platforms, it is possible to separately detail various reproduction processes of tools, objects of labor, labor resources, digital technologies and other material and intellectual factors of production at the macro level. Increasing the transparency of economic activity on the basis of digital platforms will reduce statistical discrepancies and reduce the possibility of the emergence of informal economic activity in the society.
Keywords reproduction of the public product, digital platforms, digital value, information technologies, value added, system of national accounts. Highlights:
♦ the reproduction process in the conditions of the economy digitalization requires the development of an appropriate theoretical and scientific-methodological base that provides competent practical steps for the development of network forms and methods of regulating the socioeconomic development;
♦ the essence and content of economic theory determine the need for an adequate reflection of digital transformations in the political and economic aspect of reproduction relations in the society;
♦ in the conditions of the digital economy, the components of the total social product penetrate much deeper into the initial and subsequent processes of forming elements of value, which allows us to have more advanced forms and methods of state regulation of the socio-economic development of the society;
♦ digital transformation of the economy contributes to the establishment and calculation of macroeconomic reproduction indicators of the system of national accounts, based on a new technological level of construction, which reduces possibilities of the shadow economy, expands the analytical apparatus of competent economic and mathematical modeling of socio-economic development.
