The Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS) is a joint initiative of the World Bank Group (\"WB\") and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (\"EBRD\"). The initial goal of the study is to better understand conditions for doing business in the targeted country and how they compare to other countries. The ultimate goal of the research is to advise governments on ways to change policies and practices that impose a burden on private firms and to develop new projects and programs that strengthen support for enterprise growth."},"study_info":{"abstract":"The World Bank Group and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development are implementing Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Surveys. Four rounds of the survey have been carried out so far (1999, 2002, 2005 and 2009). Furthermore, to set a benchmark for the transition countries, a survey of comparator countries was conducted in 2004-2005 covering Germany, Greece, Ireland, Portugal, South Korea, Spain and Vietnam. In Vietnam, 500 firms were surveyed. \n\nThe objective of BEEPS is to obtain feedback from enterprises in client countries on the state of the private sector. Through face-to-face interviews with firms in the manufacturing and services sectors, the survey assesses the constraints to private sector growth and creates statistically significant business environment indicators that are comparable across countries. \n\nThe survey topics include firm characteristics, information about sales and suppliers, infrastructure services, security, law enforcement, government policies, laws and regulations, financing, overall business environment, corruption, performance and investment activities, and workforce composition.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2005","end":"2005","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Viet Nam","abbreviation":"VNM"}],"geog_coverage":"National","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]"},"method":{"data_collection":{"sampling_procedure":"The BEEPS 2005 sample was drawn from the universe of firms in a broad range of economic activities.
