DDI_NPL_2009_MS_v01_M_WB Antonina Redko <_value> NADA Version 01 Micro-Enterprise Survey 2009 MS 2009 NPL_2009_MS_v01_M_WB World Bank NADA World Bank Enterprise Survey [en/oth] An Enterprise Survey is a firm-level survey of a representative sample of an economy's private sector. Firm-level surveys have been conducted since 1998 by different units within the World Bank. Since 2005-06, most data collection efforts have been centralized within the Enterprise Analysis Unit. Enterprise Surveys are conducted every three to four years across all geographic regions and cover small, medium, and large companies. Data are used to create indicators that benchmark the quality of the business and investment climate across countries. In some countries, unregistered businesses and firms with a small number of employees make up a large part of the economy. Micro-Enterprise Surveys target registered establishments with one to four employees, while traditional Enterprise Surveys focus on businesses with five or more workers. Sampling techniques and questionnaires are similar for Micro-Enterprise and Enterprise Surveys. This research of registered businesses with one to four employees was conducted in Nepal from March 8 to June 15, 2009, at the same time with 2009 Nepal Enterprise Survey. Data from 118 establishments was analyzed. Micro-Enterprise Survey topics include firm characteristics, gender participation, access to finance, annual sales, costs of inputs/labor, workforce composition, bribery, licensing, infrastructure, trade, crime, competition, capacity utilization, land and permits, taxation, informality, business-government relations, innovation and technology, and performance measures. Over 90% of the questions objectively ascertain characteristics of a country's business environment. The remaining questions assess the survey respondents' opinions on what are the obstacles to firm growth and performance. Nepal National The primary sampling unit of the study is an establishment with one to four employees. The whole population, or the universe, covered in the Enterprise Surveys is the non-agricultural economy. It comprises: all manufacturing sectors according to the ISIC Revision 3.1 group classification (group D), construction sector (group F), services sector (groups G and H), and transport, storage, and communications sector (group I). Note that this population definition excludes the following sectors: financial intermediation (group J), real estate and renting activities (group K, except sub-sector 72, IT, which was added to the population under study), and all public or utilities sectors. Sample survey data [ssd] Solutions Consultant Pvt. Ltd. The sample for Nepal was selected using stratified random sampling. Two levels of stratification were used for the Micro-Enterprise Survey: industry and region. Industry stratification was designed at three levels: the universe was stratified into manufacturing, retail, and other services industries. Other services were further divided into tourism and non-tourism as the World Bank wanted to oversample tourism firms. Regional stratification was defined in terms of the geographic regions with the main cities of economic activity in the country. Western Nepal included Butwal, Dhangadhi, Nepalgunj, and Pokhara; Central Nepal included Banepa, Bhaktapur, Bharatpur, Birgunj, Hetauda, Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Simara; Eastern Nepal included Bhadrapur, Biratnagar, and Itahari. 120 micro establishments were targeted for interviews. Initially a sample frame was sought from the Government of Nepal and from appropriate trade associations; but the lists that were obtained were deemed incomplete and potentially out of date. In consultation with the contractor, the World Bank decided to undertake block enumeration, i.e. the contractor would physically create a list of establishments from which to sample from. In total, the contractor enumerated 6,755 establishments for the survey fieldwork. Detailed information about block enumeration strategy can be can be found in "Description of Nepal Implementation 2009" in "Technical Documents" folder. Face-to-face [f2f] The current survey instruments are available: - Core Questionnaire + Manufacturing Module [ISIC Rev.3.1: 15-37] in English with Nepali translation - Core Questionnaire + Retail Module [ISIC Rev.3.1: 52] in English with Nepali translation - Core Questionnaire [ISIC Rev.3.1: 45, 50, 51, 55, 60-64, 72] in English with Nepali translation - Screener Questionnaire in English The “Core Questionnaire” is the heart of the Enterprise Survey and contains the survey questions asked of all firms across the world. There are also two other survey instruments - the “Core Questionnaire + Manufacturing Module” and the “Core Questionnaire + Retail Module.” The survey is fielded via three instruments in order to not ask questions that are irrelevant to specific types of firms, e.g. a question that relates to production and nonproduction workers should not be asked of a retail firm. In addition to questions that are asked across countries, all surveys are customized and contain country-specific questions. An example of customization would be including tourism-related questions that are asked in certain countries when tourism is an existing or potential sector of economic growth. Micro-Enterprise Survey topics include firm characteristics, gender participation, access to finance, annual sales, costs of inputs/labor, workforce composition, bribery, licensing, infrastructure, trade, crime, competition, capacity utilization, land and permits, taxation, informality, business-government relations, innovation and technology, and performance measures. Over 90% of the questions objectively ascertain characteristics of a country’s business environment. The remaining questions assess the survey respondents’ opinions on what are the obstacles to firm growth and performance. Private contractors conduct the Enterprise Surveys on behalf of the World Bank. Due to sensitive survey questions addressing business-government relations and corruption-related topics, private contractors are preferred over any government agency or an organization/institution associated with government, and are hired by the World Bank to collect the data. The survey was implemented following a two-stage procedure. In the first stage, a screener questionnaire was applied over the phone to determine eligibility and to make appointments; in the second stage, a face-to-face interview took place with the Manager/Owner/Director of each establishment. The relevant information for the sampled firms had already been collected during the block enumeration stage. The data collection team started the study by verifying the information required in the screener. The verification was typically conducted over the phone. More than 85% of the firms were called in for appointments. However, some of the establishments in the sample did not have correct phone number, or had no phone number at all. In such cases, the team had to visit these businesses and make an appointment with a potential respondent. Micro-Enterprise Surveys are conducted in the local languages. Complete information regarding the sampling methodology, sample frame, weights, response rates, and implementation can be found in "Description of Nepal Implementation 2009" in "Technical Documents" folder. Since the sampling design was stratified and employed differential sampling of the strata, individual observations should be properly weighted when making inferences about the population. Under stratified random sampling, unweighted estimates are biased unless sample sizes are proportional to the size of each stratum. With stratification the probability of selection of each unit is, in general, not the same. Consequently, individual observations must be weighted by the inverse of their probability of selection (probability weights or pa in Stata, which is equivalent to the weighted average of the estimates for each stratum, with weights equal to the population shares of each stratum). Weights for each cell were computed this way: universe cell estimates are divided by the achieved cell counts. Data entry and quality controls are implemented by the contractor and data is delivered to the World Bank in batches (typically 10%, 50% and 100%). These data deliveries are checked for logical consistency, out of range values, skip patterns, and duplicate entries. Problems are flagged by the World Bank and corrected by the implementing contractor through data checks, callbacks, and revisiting establishments. Complete information regarding the sampling methodology, sample frame, weights, response rates, and implementation can be found in "Description of Nepal Implementation 2009" in "Technical Documents" folder. Confidentiality of the survey respondents and the sensitive information they provide is necessary to ensure the greatest degree of survey participation, integrity and confidence in the quality of the data. Surveys are usually carried out in cooperation with business organizations and government agencies promoting job creation and economic growth, but confidentiality is never compromised.
