Structural Business Statistics
[1] Structural business statistics (SBS) describe the structure, conduct and
performance of businesses across the European Union (EU)
Legal basis: Originally: Council Regulation 0058/1997 (and later amendments) on structural business
statistics
Many revisions and amendments over time to the SBS Regulation: Parliament and Council Regulation 0295/2008 (“recasting”)
Definitions, breakdowns, deadlines for data delivery, and various quality aspects are specified in implementing regulations
A new regulation in the works: Frame Regulation on Integrating Business Statistics (FRIBS)
SBS cover industry, construction, distributive trades and services (according to the NACE activity classification)
The main indicators within SBS are generally collected and presented as monetary values, or as counts (for example, numbers of enterprises or persons employed)
Breakdown: By sector (at a very deep detail, i.e. several hundred economic activities)
By size of enterprises
By region

Structural Business Statistics
[2] Coverage:
SBS cover the ‘business economy’ (NACE Rev. 2 Sections B to N and Division 95) which includes: Industry
Construction
Distributive trades
Services
Financial services (NACE Rev. 2 Section K) are generally kept separate
SBS do not cover agriculture, forestry and fishing, nor public administration and (largely) non-market services such as education and health
Modules: A horizontal module (Annex I), including a limited set of basic statistics for all market activities
Seven sector-specific annexes cover a more extended list of sector-specific characteristics: industry (Annex II), distributive trades (Annex III), construction (Annex IV), insurance services (Annex V), credit institutions (Annex VI), pension funds (Annex VII) and business services (Annex VIII)
Annex IX covers business demography statistics for all market activities
Size classes: A limited set of the standard SBS variables (i.e. number of enterprises, turnover, persons employed and
value added) available, at the three-digit (group) level of the NACE classification, by size class: Micro enterprises: with less than 10 persons employed
Small enterprises: with 10 to 49 persons employed
Medium-sized enterprises: with 50 to 249 persons employed
Large enterprises: with 250 or more persons employed
Actually, the European Commission Recommendation (2003/361/EC), adopted on 6 May 2003, classifies SMEs according to their number of persons employed, annual turnover, and independence

Main variables and indicators
SBS contain a comprehensive set of basic variables describing business demography and employment characteristics, as well as monetary variables (mainly concerning operating income and expenditure, or investment)
In addition, a set of derived indicators has been compiled: for example, ratios of monetary characteristics or per head values
Main variables and indicators: Number of enterprises
Local units
Turnover
Value added at factor cost
Total purchases of goods and services
Gross investment in tangible goods
Number of persons employed
Employee
Personnel costs
Apparent labour productivity
Wage-adjusted labour productivity ratio
Gross operating surplus
Gross operating rate

Why collect SBS?
SBS may be used to answer such questions as: How much wealth is created in an activity and how many persons are employed?
Is there a shift from the industrial sector to the services sector and in which specific activities is this trend most notable?
Which countries are relatively specialised in the manufacture of a particular activity – for example, the manufacture of aerospace equipment?
How productive is a particular activity, such as the chemicals sector, and how does it fare in terms of its operating profitability?
Very often, at present, aggregate answers are not enough!
Monitoring policies such as: Creating a favourable environment for business
Fostering higher productivity, economic growth, jobs and wealth
Reducing administrative burdens
Stimulating innovation
Encouraging sustainable production
Ensuring the smooth functioning of the market
Promoting SMEs’ growth

Acquisition of data
Member States may acquire the necessary data using a combination of different sources: compulsory surveys
other sources equivalent as regards accuracy and quality
statistical estimation procedures
administrative data sources and administrative data
Quality evaluation
Comparability
Use of electronic data transmission and automatic data-processing
7 Analyse de l’entreprise et performance régionaleGiovanni A. Barbieri – Tunis, 19-20 novembre 2015
SBS by region
SBS may be broken down by NUTS region
SBS are based upon data for enterprises or parts of enterprises, such as local units which are often used for regional SBS data
An enterprise can carry out one or more activities at one or more locations and may comprise one or more legal units
When an enterprise is active in more than one economic activity, then the value added and turnover that it generates, the persons it employs, and the values of all other variables will be classified under the enterprise’s principal activity; the principal activity is normally the one that generates the largest amount of value added
This is a problem in the estimate of regional SBS!

Transmission of results
The results are to be transmitted within 18 months of the end of the calendar year of the reference period: The results for the statistics are to be broken down to the NACE
Rev. 2 4-digit level (class)
Some results are also to be broken down into size classes and to NACE Rev. 2 3-digit level (group)
The results for the regional statistics are to be broken down to the NACE Rev. 2 2-digit level (division) and level 2 of NUTS
Data are transmitted, in a standard format, for the following annexes: Industry
Construction
Distributive trades
Services

The Italian experience: the
move to Frame-SBS Traditionally, Italian SBS data have been compiled by combining the estimates from
2 surveys: PMI: a sample survey on small and medium-sized enterprises with less than 100 persons
employed
SCI: a census survey on enterprises with 100 persons employed and more
Both surveys use administrative sources to integrate total non-responses
Starting from SBS2012 Istat has combined administrative sources with survey data aiming at reducing the sampling error and at improving data quality: the project is called Frame-SBS
Components: For the structural variables (number of persons employed, number of employees,
economic activity, administrative region): business register of active enterprises (Asia)
For the main economic variables (turnover, purchases of goods and services, value added, personnel costs, etc.): exhaustive administrative sources
For the other economic variables, not available from administrative sources: estimation from PMI survey data by using either weighted regression estimators or calibration (e.g. investments)
For all variables for the enterprises with 100 persons employed and more: data from SCI census survey

General remarks
The administrative sources have been analysed in terms of both coverage of the SBS
target population as listed in the Business Register, and available variables
A comparative analysis of the variables observed in each administrative source and in the
PMI survey has led to the integrated use of the relevant administrative sources according
to a specific “hierarchy”
Such hierarchy is based on how the variable definitions are close to the SBS ones and on
the reliability of the sources themselves (stability, availability, completeness…)
Target variables not available in the administrative sources estimated through massive
imputation, using a mixed approach, depending on the coverage rate of the target
variables to be estimated: Classical predictive model-based approaches have been used for estimating high coverage variables
Models based on PMI data have been adopted for estimating the remaining variables
In this way a multidimensional micro data matrix has been built (FrameSBS), containing
the Business Register variables and the economic variables for all the SBS population
units

Main features
The Frame-Sbs dataset is an array of firm-level structural and
economic information for each of the over 4 million Italian
enterprises, aligned with the Business Register
Variables are obtained as the mere sum of every single firm’s
corresponding variable:
Thus the sum of all firms’ value added gives the total official value added
of the whole business system gives the official value added of the total
business system
In the traditional sample survey procedure, variables are obtained
multiplying a sampled value by a final weight, obtaining results valid only
for programmed domains

Pros and cons
Pros: Improvement of the overall consistency and quality of
business statistics (and national accounts estimates)
Longitudinal evaluation of the performance of single production units, allowing to explore firm- and sector-level dynamics
Integration with other surveys (thanks to its exhaustive nature)
Production of very detailed estimates
More statistical analyses and indicators
Better statistical representation of some industries
Reduction of the statistical burden on enterprises
More domains in dissemination
15 Analyse de l’entreprise et performance régionaleGiovanni A. Barbieri – Tunis, 19-20 novembre 2015
Pros and cons
Cons and constraints: Methodological constraints: significance of
model-based estimates for specific variables in
small domains
Confidentiality issues
Dependence on administrative sources:
Timeliness of production and transmission
Normative changes affect availability and continuity

Regional analysis: current
situation The SBS Regulation 295/2008 provide the legal basis
for the annual collection of regional SBS (not regional business demography statistics!) Regional statistics are compiled for wages and salaries and the
number of persons employed
They are provided for NACE divisions and for NUTS level 2 regions
The statistical unit used for regional SBS is generally the local unit, which is an enterprise or part of an enterprise situated in a geographically identified place
Local units are usually classified under NACE according to their main activity
17 Analyse de l’entreprise et performance régionaleGiovanni A. Barbieri – Tunis, 19-20 novembre 2015
Regional analysis: perspectives
after Frame-SBS KAU and LKAU
The kind of activity unit (KAU) groups all the parts of an enterprise contributing to the performance of an activity at class level (4- digits) of NACE Rev. 1 and corresponds to one or more operational subdivisions of the enterprise
The enterprise's information system must be capable of indicating or calculating for each KAU at least the production value, intermediate consumption, manpower costs, the operating surplus and employment and gross fixed capital formation
The local unit is an enterprise or part thereof (e.g. a workshop, factory, warehouse, office, mine or depot) situated in a geographically identified place
At or from this place economic activity is carried out for which – save for certain exceptions – one or more persons work (even if only part-time) for one and the same enterprise
The local kind-of activity unit (local KAU) is the part of a KAU which corresponds to a local unit
The Frame-SBS makes it possible to build aggregates by adding-up microdata at the enterprise level, with maximum geographical detail
The only limits are quality and confidentiality
The move to local unit questions the economic meaning of aggregates
