Summary/Abstract: This article dares to enter the internal controversial world of measurement and interpretation of economic practices carried out in violation of official regulations and rules. The article represents a brief overview of the methodological approaches applied for measuring the informal economy at European and national level and offers a „new look“ at possible research approaches in this particular area. It summarized methodological approaches, tools and especially methodological challenges when studying the image of the shadow economy among the population, employers and economically active population in Bulgaria. Elaboration of survey methodology was performed during 2010 within and for the purposes of the project „Prevention and Reduction of the Informal Economy“. Substantive survey results are subject of separate publications.
