Updating Goals of Providing Economic Security in Conditions of Platform Economy

Abstract

The goal of the present research is to study the problem of transforming conceptual foundations of the system providing economic security. Its acute nature is stipulated by high dynamics of social and economic relation development taking place under the impact of digitalization and arising of their new forms. Findings of the research include identification by analytical way of features of platform economy, elaboration of the author’s approach to distinguishing such notions as ‘economy of platforms’ and ‘platform economy’ and corroboration of the hypothesis about the link between the degree of platform economy development and the level of economic security of state, business entity and personality, which testifies to the complex impact of transformation processes taking place in economy. The basic principle worked-out in elaboration of the new approach to distinguishing the broad and narrow interpretation of the notion ‘platform economy’ was the use of the feature of staging of platformization processes and the assumption about the necessity to split practical and theoretical spheres in using the conceptual framework. Apart from that, during the research the list of goals dealing with state policy in the field of providing economic security adjusted to conditions of platformization was supplemented. The authors have introduced two more goals, i. e. to improve favorable competitive climate on home markets and to raise the level of regulation responsiveness.
