Abstract:
The feasibility of using an alternative approach to assessing the digital conditions for the development of the economies of EU countries has been substantiated in order to parameterize their digital environment. Within this framework (taking into account the availability of statistical data and the logic of the study for forming an integral index of the development of digital conditions in EU countries), a set of indicators has been proposed, the application of which is economically feasible and substantiated. It is based on aggregating financial, institutional, business, and social digital indicators in the form of an integral index of the development of digital conditions. It has been demonstrated that using a stable system of indicators for 2018–2024 ensures the methodological comparability of results, allows avoiding limitations, and creates an analytical basis for further inter-index analysis. In this context, a theoretical and methodological approach has been developed to model the configuration of statistically significant relevant interconnections of the influence of digital environment formation trends on the level of development of the green economy. This approach is based on establishing a synectic-correlational relationship between the integral index of green economy development and the integral index of digital conditions development, allowing the identification of dominant channels of digital influence on the structural components of green development in EU countries. Correlation analysis has shown that, under current conditions, digitalization is not a universal catalyst for green development, but acts as a multidimensional transformational factor whose impact is synectically differentiated and determined by national economic, institutional, and technological development characteristics. The variability in the strength and direction of the relationship between digitalization and the individual components of the green economy has been demonstrated, confirming the absence of a linear, universal effect of digital transformation. The environmental component is the most stable channel of interaction, while the institutional component plays a key role in generating a synergistic effect. Based on the assessment of the synectic-correlational effect, three groups of EU countries have been identified depending on the nature of digitalization’s impact on the development of the green economy, providing a foundation for adjusting the strategic priorities of economic policy. It has been found that in countries with a positively dominant effect, digitalization strengthens green development through the combination of economic, institutional, and innovative mechanisms. Countries with mixed effects are characterized by fragmented digital integration and a lack of sustainable synergy, whereas in countries with inverse effects, a structural mismatch is observed between the pace of digital transformation and the adaptation of green economy mechanisms, which limits its transformational potential.

Keywords: digitalization, green economy, digital environment, composite index, synectic-correlational effect, digital transformation, institutional component, environmental efficiency.
