Tax register and social security register as a source of additional information for business statistics – possibilities and limitations

Summary/Abstract: Market economy generates demand for various data about local economic, social or environmental conditions. This creates a need for a modification of the business statistics information system. One of the major factors that limit changes is the cost of statistical surveys. The need of the substantial reduction of sample sizes and to produce accurate estimates for small domains has increased the importance of the growing use of a greater amount of auxiliary information coming from administrative registers. The study is aimed at assessing the usefulness of available administrative sources for short-term business statistics. The paper presents the major issues involved in estimating information about economic activity e.g. incompleteness of registers, problems in data linkage, timeliness, non-homogenous distributions.
