  3. Background • NA need to be exhaustive • Starting the 2010 ESA revision illegal activities are included • Other non-observed economic activities were already covered in the Dutch National Accounts

  4. Non-observed economy Scope is arbitrary. Five sub-categories: • Underground production • Illegalproduction • Informal sector production • Household productionforownfinaluse • Production missed due to deficiencies in data collection program

  5. Methodology For underground and white spots built upon the existing methodology, estimates for illegal are completely new after revision. Activity specific method. Based upon many ad hoc research findings and additional assumptions. During the integration phase corrected for double counting.

  6. Methodology – example prostitution The consumption is estimatedusing: • Number of prostitutes -> 25.000 in 1999 • Number of working weeks a year -> 40 • Averageprice per visit -> € 50 in 2008 • Number of clients per week -> 20 Consumption in 1995 = 520 mlneuros Consumption in 2013 = 869 mlneuros Adjustements are made forimports and exports, and estimatesforintermediateuse are calculatedfollowingpreviousmethods.

  7. Results – prostitution activities

  8. Results - sensitivity

  9. Results Table 4.1 Estimates for various underground activities, 2010

  10. Results Table 4.3 Estimates white spots, 2010
