Abstract

The author reports on two EU funded projects involving various government departments and academic institutes. “DIECOFIS” assesses the issues facing modelers in developing multi-sourced micro-databases of the business sector in Italy and the UK to improve the measurement and analysis of fiscal and economic issues, particularly those relating to
competitiveness, fiscal stability, and comparative taxation. Euroky-Pia addresses the issue of establishing knowledge databases to support policy impact analysis across all areas of government. The paper focuses on the high level issues such as the assessment of user need, co-ordination of data from administrative and statistical sources, the roles and constraints affecting the organizations contributing to analysis, and the key differences
in national circumstances. Different modeling approaches are addressed.
