Overcoming Digital Divide Between Europe and Southeast Asia, EU Project, References Dataset Part1

This reference list contains publications and data sets concerning the state of digitalization and digital divide in Europe and Southeast Asia including factors affecting it. Research was carried out The creation of this list is the result of a review of literature and databases as part of the implementation by the Krakow University of Economics of tasks resulting from Task Package no. 1 included in the ODDEA project In the "ODDEA" project some Work Packages were prepared. In Work Package no 1, which is called "The state-of-the-art analysis of the underlying factors of the digital divide within the EU and within the Southeast Asia", the main objective was defined as: "To provide an overview of the literature and existing indicators on the state of digitalization and digital divide in Europe and Southeast Asia including factors affecting it".  This task is based on the literature review and on the qualitative analysis of recently published indicators (e.g., EIBIS, 2021, CIS of Eurostat, World Bank enterprise dataset) and other relevant country based surveys. This analysis will enable to identify possible economic, social, political, and technological factors that may explain the digital divide in the EU and in the Southeast Asia and formulate relevant hypotheses for individual EU countries, groups/clusters, the European Union as a whole and the Southeast Asia and project countries in that region. A deeper analysis of these clusters will also help to identify any idiosyncratic features that these countries share regarding the use of digital technologies, which will be used in the empirical study implemented within subsequent WPs.  Adopting the assumptions and objective presented in WP1, appropriate identification was made in the scope of the Literature Review in the relation to the Polish economy as a member of the European Union (EU).  Because two partners in ODDEA were from Poland – it means AGH University and Krakow University of Economics, the division of the collected bibliography into specific databases between these research centres was developed. The Krakow University of Economics was responsible for finding relevant literature from the following databases: Statistics Poland EBSCOhost (Polish language only) INFONA  Legalis (CH Beck)  Lex Informator prawno-gospodarczy (Legal and economic guide) ORBIS  SWAiD Platforma Analityczna (Analitical Platform of Statistics Poland) The preparation of the ODDEA domestic literature database (in this example for Poland) is an important component of the implementation of the objective under WP1 of this project.
