Rivista di statistica ufficiale, 2008, vol. 10, issue 2, 33-63

Abstract: This work presents a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) for Italy including, for the first time, an economic account of the non-profit sector (or “third sector”). The year it refers to is 1999. In the first part of this article I address statistical definition of the non-profit sector and how I include it in the SAM framework. I then go on to set out the main results of my analysis. Two kinds of results will be considered, referring respectively to comment on the principal descriptive coefficients of the SAM, and to a simple simulation analysis to test the impact of fiscal policy (public expenditure and public transfers) on the level of employment generated within and through the third sector activity.
