OBJECTIVE: This study has two main goals. The first one aims to determine how the European Union countries are clustered according to The Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) 2020 data. The second one aims to determine whether there is a similarity between the DESI cluster of the European Union countries and the social welfare regime classification. METHODS: In the research, the cluster method was used in accordance with DESI 2020 data. RESULTS: Technological and digital investments and initiatives of countries have clustered the European Union countries in 4 different groups. The countries clustered according to DESI data are shaped for investments and spending for digitalization within the scope of sub-dimensions of DESI. In this context, the welfare regimes applied by the countries affect the spending for digitalization. CONCLUSIONS: According to The Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) 2020 data has proved that there is a similarity between the classification of the European Union countries according to their welfare regimes and digitalization.

DİJİTAL EKONOMİ VE TOPLUM ENDEKSİNİN (DESI) KÜMELEME ALGORİTMASİ İLE ANALİZİ

Öz

AMAÇ: Bu çalışmanın iki temel amacı bulunmaktadır. İlki, Avrupa Birliği ülkelerinin Dijital Ekonomi ve Toplum Endeksi (DESI) 2020 verilerine göre nasıl kümelendiğini belirlemek. İkincisi, Avrupa Birliği ülkelerinin DESI kümelenmesi ile refah rejimi sınıflandırması arasında bir ilişki olup olmadığını tespit etmek. YÖNTEM: Araştırmada DESI 2020 verilerine göre kümeleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. BULGULAR: Ülkelerin teknolojik ve dijital yatırım ve girişimleri, Avrupa Birliği ülkelerini 4 farklı grupta toplamıştır. DESI verilerine göre kümelenen ülkeler, DESI'nin alt boyutları kapsamında dijitalleşme için yatırım ve harcamalara göre şekillenmektedir. Bu bağlamda ülkelerin uyguladığı refah rejimleri dijitalleşme harcamalarını etkilemektedir. SONUÇLAR: Dijital Ekonomi ve Toplum Endeksi (DESI) 2020 verilerine göre Avrupa Birliği ülkelerinin refah rejimlerine göre sınıflandırılması ile dijitalleşme arasında benzerlik olduğu kanıtlanmıştır.
