The relevance of applied economic and social analysis stands or
falls with the strength of the analytical tools, on the one hand,
and the appropriateness of the underlying data framework, on the
other hand. Whereas virtually all economic and sociological
research focuses on the analytical tools, this book deals with the
design of an appropriate data framework. In many countries, it is
not so much a lack of data per se that is the problem. Official
statistics often comprise a wealth of information, laid down in
many different publications. The main difficulty then relates to
the lack of integration of these statistics, so that all kinds of
events that are interrelated in reality can only be studied in
isolation. Of course, the lack of integration of statistics applies
less to economic data, as the national accounts function as a
coordinating information system for these data. In fact, an
important aim of this book is to demonstrate that the basic
principles of national accounts can and should be extended to a
wider range of statistics, notably social and environmental
statistics. For this purpose, a so-called System of Economic and
Social Accounting Matrices and Extensions (SESAME) is designed and
applied in this book, following its announcement in the 1993 System
of National Accounts, the guidelines of the United Nations and
other international organizations.
