ABSTRACT

There has been increasing interest in the development of valid and reliable debt statistics around advanced countries and international financial community. Research community also tries to replace old debt statistics with several alternative debt related indicators. This study tries to examine the validity of these debt statistics theoretically and propose new measurement approach and indicators based on the social measurement theory. The author found that most debt indicators reflect part of the economic burden connoted by debt and liability. By applying social measurement theory, the author proposes the alternative debt indicator and measurement system which includes indicators for contingent and implicit liability. This study concludes that multiple indicators approach that is applicable to the multiple debt indicators systems are preferable. This system is also fit for production of various indexes, such as fiscal burden index, when one applies predetermined parameters.
