Abstract
As part of the efforts of the World Bank Group to understand the impact of COVID-19 on the private sector, the Enterprise Analysis unit is conducting follow-up surveys on recently completed Enterprise Surveys (ES) in several countries. These short surveys follow the baseline ES and are designed to provide quick information on the impact and adjustments that COVID-19 has brought about in the private sector.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure
The follow-up surveys re-contact all establishments sampled in the standard ES using stratified random sampling.
Total sample target: 760
Response Rate
65.9%
Weighting
The dataset contains thee weight variables. The baseline weights are denoted wmedian_ES and are used to compute the indicators that project to the baseline universe (e.g. exit rates). To account for non-response in the follow-up, these sampling weights are adjusted by cell of stratification (combination of size, sector, and location). The resulting variable wmedian_COVID - recommended to be used for analysis and used to compute all other indicators - assumes that businesses that could not be re-contacted (unobtainable) have exited the market. The variable wweak_COVID assumes that unobtainable businesses continue to exist. Establishments that have closed permanently are interviewed using a short questionnaire which is also available in the dataset.
