Abstract: Characteristic of today, dominated by the health crisis generated by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, is the strong rise of the digital economy, as a result of the interaction between the need, possibility and capacity of economic actors to cope with this crisis. The digital economy has the advantage that it is based on seemingly simple but at the same time complicated things: the internet, the laptop / computer (in its various more or less sophisticated forms) and telecommunications. As a consequence of the pandemic, in order to avoid physical contact, new business models such as e-commerce, e-banking, e-business were forced to replace the classic forms, adapting to online work on the go.

Keywords: computer; computerization; digital economy; informal economy; e-banking; e-business; e-commerce; infrastructure; internet; online. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
