Formation of state policy in the sphere of digital platforms and ecosystems

Abstract

Problem setting. The scientific work is devoted to the study of directions and measures of regulation of digital platforms and digital ecosystems. The functioning of digital platforms and ecosystems has its advantages, but citizens, businesses and the state face risks of information security, inequality of relations, loss of sovereignty. That is why in countries with a developed digital economy, the issue of state regulation of platforms and ecosystems is among the priorities. For Ukraine, which is significantly lagging behind in the application of breakthrough innovations, it is important to study world experience in order to develop its own state policy. analysis of recent researches and publications. The issues of regulation of digital platforms and ecosystems are discussed in the scientific literature. In the studies of scientists, in particular, B. Chew, M. Jacobides, B. Kyra, J. Wu, a wide range of aspects are considered, such as the complexity of developing regulatory solutions in the digital economy due to constant innovations, the specifics of protecting competition, data, and human rights in digital ecosystems, the need for regular rethinking and updating of state influence approaches, the need for big data analytics by regulators to identify patterns of behavior of subjects, the feasibility of building a national digital ecosystem of state regulation. The question of the specifics of the development and implementation of an effective state policy in the field of digital ecosystems for emerging economies remains unexplored. Purpose of the research is to substantiate theoretical provisions, analyze legislation and develop practical recommendations for the formation of a state policy for the regulation of digital platforms and ecosystems in Ukraine. article’s main body. To solve the problems of the ecosystem economy, the European Union adopted a number of regulatory documents regulating the activities of digital platforms, in particular the Law on Digital Markets and the Law on Digital Services. The regulatory requirements of the EU for digital platforms are aimed at reducing the risks of monopolization, unfair competition, security of data and operations, misuse of information. Similar requirements can and should be introduced in developing countries. It is important for all countries to ensure the security and stability of a single digital ecosystem. To measure progress in achieving the EU’s digital development goals by 2030, the EU has introduced monitoring measures. On the basis of monitoring, it is expedient for each country to form state supervision over the functioning of digital ecosystems. The systematic approach to the formation of state policy is as follows. The strategic goal of regulating digital platforms and ecosystems must be aligned with national goals. The chosen goal should be decomposed by levels and directions for systematic processing and implementation of strategic decisions. Policy tasks should be defined taking into account the goals, identified weaknesses, risks and threats. conclusions and prospects for the development. States should respond to the potential and existing dangers of the ecosystem economy through the implementation of a policy for the regulation of digital platforms and ecosystems and its systematic updating. In conditions of insufficient funding and in the case of technological lag, emerging countries can implement effective low-cost public policy by implementing regulatory requirements for digital platforms, state supervision in the field of ecosystem economy, development of regulatory measures taking into account a systemic approach. The perspective of further research is the systematic analysis of risks in digital ecosystems and the development of regulatory measures for their management.
