Purpose of the chapter
 describe the units to be maintained in the SBR
whatever the country
 do it both conceptually and operationally
 make clear distinction between units (metadata):
statistical / observation / reporting
 keeping close to Administrative Registers
 linking the (types of) units:
=> administrative / statistical (conceptually and operationally)
=> monitoring the links (operationally)

The proposed list of units
to be maintained in the SBR
 Statistical units: the objective for publication
Global:
enterprise group / enterprise
/
National or by geographical zone:
(truncated) enterprise group / (truncated) enterprise / establishment
 Observation units: used for most direct collection
legal unit / local legal unit
 Reporting Units
as well previous units answering on behalf of others (a legal unit
for an EG), as external bodies (e.g accountants)

Questions / Problems / Issues / Solutions
 a solution: the definition of the enterprise as distinct from its legal units
observations
 a dilemma: (see next slide) what unit at the local level?
establishment (local kind of activity unit) / local unit of enterprise / …
 an issue: links and linkages; more and more necessary for building
and using consistent macro and micro data
 a question: how create and monitor “unique” Ids ?
 a problem: what if thresholds ?

Dilemma about the statistical local unit
 from enterprise to local units:
Partition by Location
Partition by
Economic Activity
No
Yes
No
Enterprise
Local Unit
Yes
Kind of Activity Unit
Establishment
 “local” is clear if reffered to an address; not so clear if different !
 do we stick to the business model or do we introduce the
homogeneity criterion (according to the official ISIC) ?
 in practice, most countries rely on local units, with exceptions for a
few very specific cases (breakdown by activity);
 statistical “local” unit should be of enterprises

 SPEs
 Head Offices & Holdings
 Franchise

Definition of the enterprise [proposed by Eurostat; provisional]:
The Enterprise is an organisational market oriented unit which benefits from sufficient degree
of autonomy in decision-making. An enterprise carries out one or more activities at one or more
locations [1].
The Enterprise can correspond either to
- a single legal unit not controlled by any other legal entity=independent legal unit,
- an enterprise group as a set of legal units under common control, or
- an autonomous part of an enterprise group.
Organisational means: for the economic activities in which the enterprise is engaged, a
planned and formal structure is identified. This structure is able to govern the whole production
processes managing the whole productive means.
Market-oriented means: the enterprise sells in its own will goods and services to an
independent buyer and the exchanges are made on the basis of commercial consideration only,
called at “arm’s length” (at economically significant prices.). If not all of the exchanges are made
at arm’s length, the 50% criterion has to be used: the unit is market oriented if more than 50%
of its total cost is covered by exchanges made at arm’s length.
Sufficient autonomy in decision-making means: the enterprise has the control of the use
(may not be the owner from a legal point of view) of nearly the whole productive means,
processes and outputs of the economic activities in which it is engaged.
[1] The enterprise corresponds to the institutional unit contributing to the Gross Domestic Product identified in ESA 2013 as
market producers (sectors S11, S12, S141 and S142) with the exclusion of the institutional units that in S14 are “producing for
final use only”
