Index of the tolerance of population to “shadow economy” (Shadow Economy Tolerance Index)
This index will be developed within the framework of the current project and will be the first of its kind – there is no analogue in either European or Bulgarian practice. Its periodic calculation will be done once every two years and the necessary information will be collected through a specially designed online survey among the population. In order to ensure the information is representative and comparative, the survey will be completed by the same panel of respondents. The first data collection will be completed within the project lifetime: the envisaged within this project national representative survey, which will gather contact information and will estimate the possibility of seeking the same respondents for further completion of the online survey.
