The main goal of the research project outlined in the present paper is to initiate systematic monitoring of the size and dynamics of the hidden economy in Bulgaria (HEM).
The project envisions conducting a series of representative surveys of the country's adult population and of the business sector at three-month intervals. This will make it possible not only to examine the dynamics of the problem, but also to collect reliable information about the differences in the attitudes of the general population and the business community to the manifestations and reasons for the development of the hidden economy in this country.
Vitosha Research conducted a research of the "hidden" economy among the business sector which encompasses 530 companies throughout the country. The fieldwork was carried out during the period November 25 - December 02, 2002. The survey method is personal standard interview.
The conference report with papers and articles
about the informal economy in the accession countries
is published in the framework of the project "The
Informal Economy in the EU Accession Countries:
Size, Scope, Trends and Challenges in the Process
of EU Enlargement". It includes papers presented
at an International
informal economy conference, organized
by the Center for the Study of Democracy on 29th
and 30th of November, 2002 in Sofia.
In the period September 28, 2002 - October 12, 2002 Vitosha Research conducted its regular survey on corruption among the Bulgarian population. This study is part of the Corruption Monitoring System of Coalition 2000.
In the period May 22-31, 2002 Vitosha Research conducted its regular survey on corruption among the Bulgarian population. This study is part of the Corruption Monitoring System of Coalition 2000.
The main objective of the IT monitoring conducted by Vitosha Research is to collect and analyze systematic information of the use of PCs and the Internet by the Bulgarian population. IT monitoring findings are based on data from national representative surveys administered by Vitosha Research in the period 2000-2002.
The report presents key findings about the level of corruption and corruption related perceptions in a cross country perspective. The analysis is based on national sample (n=1000) surveys of the population aged 18 and over in seven countries of Southeast Europe. It also includes comparative data from the 2001 survey conducted using the same methodology.
It is the first manual in its kind in Bulgarian language. The manual is to be included in a university curriculum (the New Bulgarian University) and a number of other private and state-owned universities have been approached with the same purpose.
