Abstract: | In this article the authors discuss some elements of the structure of an overall integrating system of economy-related statistics. First of all attention is paid to the core of such a system. Next, the various types of modules which could supplement this core are described. Modules with a social connotation are discussed with the help of the Socio-economic Accounts which have been developed recently in the Netherlands. Finally, the link between the Socio-economic Accounts and the National Accounts Core System is addressed and numerically illustrated. |
