Abstract

From an economic point of view, shortly digitalization will lead not only to progressive growth, but also to important transformations of jobs and to the reorganization of the way of carrying out the activity of retail, transport, and banking services. Our research aimed to identify and analyze the correlations between digitization and economic growth of EU countries in the period 2019–2021. In this paper, we use deep learning and principal component analysis as an efficient technique to improve the accuracy of classification for the set of EU countries classified according to The Digital Economy and Society Index. The used databases were Eurostat and World Bank. We selected 15 indicators on which we first trained a 2-layer neural network and we obtained a classifier with 92.52% accuracy. Then, we applied principal component analysis and reduced the original dataset to 3 principal components which retain together 78.21% of the initial variability. We train a 2-layer neural network on the score matrix given by the three retained principal components. The results revealed that the classification improved from 92.52 to 100%.
