Abstract

The article considers the features, trends and patterns of the development of digitalization of territorial and economic systems. IT technologies have been implemented in an integrated model for assessing the sectors of digitalization of territorial and economic systems, which are determined on the basis of the concept of “Industry 4.0” and aimed at increasing production and servicing public needs, increasing the competitiveness of the state. It is substantiated that the process of digitalization of the territorial economic system is formed on the basis of Internet economy (environment for introducing e-business) and “digital economy” ‒ a modern type of management, characterized by methods of resource management in production, distribution, exchange and consumption. The hierarchical structure and model of digitalization of territorial and economic systems are presented. Methodical approaches to the assessment of digitalization of territorial and economic systems are determined. Scenarios for ensuring the development of digitalization of sectors of territorial economic systems on an innovative basis are grouped. The analysis of the development of the Internet trade market in Ukraine is carried out. The volume of production (services) by types of economic activity in the field of digital territorial and economic systems is determined. The dynamics of the trend of financial results of enterprises in the field of telecommunications, computer programming, consulting and information services in Ukraine is presented. Forecast indicators of the development of digitalization of territorial and economic systems, including in the production of information and communication technologies, services and use of computer equipment have been calculated.

Abstract

In an age of increased competition for economic growth, attracting destination retail is becoming an increasingly popular development strategy. Local governments engage in inter-jurisdictional competition to attract large-scale retail outlets, which may also serve as a lucrative source of local government sales tax revenue. This study uses a natural experiment design to examine sales tax revenue collections in a seven county region in the state of North Carolina in the United States focusing on the entrance of the Tanger Outlet Mall in Alamance County. After its opening, the county experienced several years of increased sales tax collections, particularly for apparel, relative to the surrounding region. Our evidence suggests that destination retail may prove a desirable strategy for promoting development, though we posit that structural changes in retail and apparel markets, as well as state tax policies, may work to undermine the utility of this approach as means of generating local tax revenue.
