Evolution of formal and informal institutes in new economy conditions

The features of institutional changes caused by the formation and development of new economy are considered in thearticle. The rate of the informal sector's growth during the development of new economy and under the influence of globalisation isaccelerated: new flexible forms of employment appear; the system of accounting which does not reflect the market cost of Internet resourcesof the enterprises (according to the Russian law) becomes imperfect; the law maintenance of using electronic document circulationlags behind, a problem of protection of information from unapproved perusal, in the field of electronic (both internal, and international)commerce arises. In new economy the objective conditions for development informal institutes and relations that is caused by itsraised dynamism, social role and multiple aspects are created. Being in the condition of high mobility, the subjects of economic relationspass from one functional-professional group to another, which, on the one hand, allows them to adapt in due time to changing endogenousand exogenous factors; it, certainly, is their advantage; and, on the other hand, there are problems connected with the ambiguity oftreatment of informal rules, and, as a result, there is an occurrence of discrimination in those relations or in other social groups. It isnoticed that development of informal sector of new economy in the absence of an accurate regulation of relations of managing subjects(because of its advancing development and simplifying social communications), as a matter of fact, should lead to strengthening thespontaneous self-organizing of managing subjects. At the same time, development of new economy is accompanied by strengtheningof processes of organized inter-subject interaction, which is reflected in new methods and forms. The objective requirement of transitionfrom spontaneous-competitive to a purposeful (adjustable) mode of self-organizing is defined by features of the information as a basicindustrial resource, and also by necessity of constant competition for innovations. Information as a manufacture major factor of neweconomy helps to reduce uncertainty in achieving these goals and reduce transaction costs in finding contractors, contracting, expandingthe number of consumers. Besides the transformation of objects and types of competition, the emergence of new types of businesses andnew strategies of interaction between them, as well as new elements and forms of ownership assignment, led to the transformation of theorganization of the economic space: from a market of imperfect competition to a socially regulated, coherent competitive market, a feature,which is in the transition from the unpredictable behaviour of its competitors agreed to their interaction, which suggests the transformationof spontaneous self-organization of the economy to a regulated or organized self-organization.
