dc.description.abstract	Economic issues have been a major concern for Europeans in the last few years. In this context, it is reasonable to suppose that people are aware of the main economic ﬁgures regarding Europe. But are they really familiar with them? Do they know what the rates of growth, unemployment and inﬂation are? The aim of this article is to explore the level of knowledge of these three economic indicators among Europeans. Several regression models are speciﬁed and estimated in order to identify the relationship between an individual's knowledge and their socioeconomic proﬁle, use of the Internet, perceived importance of economic issues and ofﬁcial statistics and trust in them. Cross-country differences are also assessed.	de
