Identification of types and properties of electronic money in the digital economy on the basis of interdisciplinary integration of knowledge

摘要

An attempt is made to identify types and properties of electronic money on the basis of interdisciplinary integration of knowledge. Main levels of interdisciplinary knowledge integration are distinguished: level 1 - individual links between disciplines; level 2 - bi-and versatility polydisciplinary; level 3 - interdisciplinary; level 4 is transdisciplinary, and the most appropriate ones are identified for this study. Definition of electronic money in a broad sense is proposed and brief description of their types is presented: on the basis of maps; on the basis of networks; on the basis of distributed registry of digital transactions. Hypothesis has been put forward about the source of electronic money intrinsic value - i.e. about costs associated with production of energy which is ensuring their existence and functioning. Ideas about the scale of prices, properties of homogeneity, standard nature, and recognition of electronic money are grounded. Demand to continue research related to retrieval and elaboration of indicators of electronic money turnover on the basis of distributed register of digital transactions within the national payment system is indicated.
