Purpose: The aim of the study is to develop a methodological approach to the classification of digital economies by the criterion of environmental efficiency and sustainability.

The purpose of this chapter is to study the fundamental provisions of the concept of knowledge economy. The authors use the systemic and dynamic approaches to studying socio-economic phenomena and processes. Also, the method of analysis of causal connections, the method of comparative analysis, induction, deduction, formalization, etc. are used. The authors conduct comparative analysis of knowledge economy and other types of economy, study the essence of the process of transition to knowledge economy through the prism of evolution of modern economic systems, and present a conceptual model of knowledge economy. As a result, the authors substantiate the evolutional point of view that treats knowledge economy as a pinnacle of the evolutional path of modern economic systems. The authors show that uniqueness of knowledge economy consists in the fact that it places human capital into the center of economic system, which allows satisfying public material needs and implementing the existing human potential (labor, intellectual, and innovational) of development, thus satisfying non-material needs of employees. This takes knowledge economy to the pinnacle of the evolutional path of modern economic systems.

The purpose of the work is to determine the top-priority directions of implementing the new Internet technologies on the territories of rapid economic development by the example of modern Russia. In order to determine the effectiveness of application of financial tools for stimulating the growth of territories of rapid economic development, the authors use the classical method of evaluation of effectiveness, which supposes finding the ratio of results to expenditures. The indicators of the result include the volume of manufactured product in the territories of rapid economic development and the volume of taxes paid into state budgets of these territories, and the indicator of expenditures is the volume of investments into territories of rapid economic development. The authors come to the conclusion that financial tools (investments) of stimulating the growth of territories of rapid economic development are peculiar for low effectiveness, as they lead to high load on the federal budget. Non-financial tools – including Internet technologies – have wide perspectives and high effectiveness in the sphere of stimulating the acceleration of growth rate of territories of rapid development. The authors determine top-priority directions of implementation of new Internet technologies on the territories of rapid development and develop the mechanism of activation of growth of the territories of rapid economic development on the basis of implementing the new Internet technologies by the example of modern Russia.

The purpose of the work is to develop the concept of economic stimulation of creating highly-efficient jobs from the view of a modern human by the example of modern Russia. The authors determine the level of modern human’s interest in creation of highly-efficient jobs through the prism of three various roles in socio-economic system of Russia. The information and analytical basis of the work consists of the materials of the sociological survey performed by the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center in 2016, the materials of the report by the United Nations Development Programme on Human Development Index and the INSEAD, WIPO, Cornell University on innovational development of economy, as well as the materials of the International Monetary Fund and the Federal State Statistics Service for 2016. The data are processed with the help of the systemic, logical, dynamics (trend), and comparative analysis, as well as general scientific methods of the research, such as synthesis, deduction, induction, formalization, etc. The authors prove the thesis that the process of economic stimulation of creating the highly-efficient jobs in the economic system, studied by the modern science from the positions of entrepreneurial structures, should be viewed through the prism of human – both within and outside of these structures. The authors determine the key barriers on the path of successful economic stimulation of creation of highly-efficient jobs in modern Russia and offer practical recommendations for overcoming them, on the basis of which the concept of stimulation of creating the highly-efficient jobs from the point of view of modern human is created.
