“…Based on the work of Keuning and Timmerman (1995) and Keuning (1998Keuning ( , 2000, the concept of SESAME was elaborated and implemented. SESAME goes beyond the SAM concept as it provides theoretical and practical linkages between monetary and non-monetary phenomena.…”

“…(European Commission et al, 1993) Below we list the features of the SAM are identified to be the most important: First, it efficiently contributes to combining growth indicators, income allocation and poverty in one consistent framework; Second, SAM is a preferred means for adjusting various data sources and bridging the gap in information received from various statistical sources of data; Third, SAM is useful integrated statistical database for preparation and implementation of macroeconomic models, thus contributing to more efficient analytically based decision making process in the national economies (Kjosev, 2012). SESAME (System of Economic and Social Accounting matrices and Extensions) approach SESAME (System of Economic and Social Accounting matrices and Extensions) is a statistical information system in matrix format, from which a set of core socioeconomic and environmental macro-indicators is derived (Keuning, 1998).…”

The Social Accounting Matrix (SAM), together with the SESAME approach, proved highly useful in providing the basis for in-depth analyses of all the socio-economic flows in the developed economies. The aim of this paper, after initial explanation of the theoretical foundations of these methods for the development analysis, is to contribute to raising the awareness of the urgent necessity for developing and implementing these methodological approaches in the Republic of Macedonia. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the current situation related to the readiness of the national statistical system to provide all the necessary statistical data and logistical support for a more efficient preparation and implementation of these methodological approaches in the national economy. The paper analyses in detail the data describing particularly important aspects of the position of workers on the labour market aimed to be used as a basis for the SESAME approach. A comparative analysis with reference to the EU countries has been performed. The paper concludes by presenting practical recommendations which should, in our opinion, lead to preparation and implementation of the SAM and its extension (SESAME) in the Republic of Macedonia. The named should be used for the successful decision-making process related to creation and implementation of efficient macroeconomic and development policies in the country.Keywords: Macedonia, macroeconomic policies, SESAME, Social Accounting Matrix, sustainable development. Acknowledgments: We dedicate this paper to our families, for their continuous support and understanding.

“…The next step of the national accounts approach to statistics was taken by Keuning. He argues that an extended national accounts framework should be used as the framework for all economic, social and demographic statistics ( Keuning , 1997; Kazemier , Keuning and van de Ven 1999) and for all structural indicators of the EU ( Keuning , 1998; de Haan , Leunis and Verbruggen , 2002).…”

Since the start of modern national accounting in the 1930s, the Netherlands has played a dominant role in the development of the national accounts. This paper discusses the origins and development of the Dutch national accounts. This includes the surprisingly slow start of political arithmetic in the Netherlands, the views of van Cleeff and Tinbergen on planning and national accounting, the role of Derksen and Oomens as fathers of the Dutch national accounts, the Dutch School of National Accounting, the interaction with national statistics and the role of the international guidelines and the European Union. The paper also takes a look into the future. The major challenges are to bridge the gap with data users and to increase relevance by, e.g. extended accounts, long‐term time series on government finance and modules on education, health care and social security.

“…In Chapter 6 of Kendrick's book, Jonathan Levin notes the SNA's inconsistency in valuing non-market output by the government and non-profit institutions at input cost, while valuing the same output by other institutional units at equivalent market prices. Keuning (1998) argues that the former valuation method is preferable in all instances, provided that the cost of the use of the financial assets involved is included. Levin also points to the serious under-valuation of governmcnt output by excluding interest payments as an input cost.…”
