Economics Letters, 2020, vol. 188, issue C

Abstract: The paper suggests the use of data envelopment analysis (DEA) and Malmquist productivity index for keeping up with the trends in digital economy development effectiveness in the European countries. We show that Central and Eastern Europe countries converge to the EU average concerning the level of digital economy development, while digital divide exists between the EU and the Western Balkan countries.
