Population and sampling frame

Sample

collected by sample survey, using stratified simple random sampling. The
population was stratified by economic activity, by number of persons employed
and by type of owner.

divided into groups by economic activity
according to the Estonian Classification of Economic Activities (EMTAK), which
is based on the NACE (Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the
European Communities).
Enterprises were
classified also by type of owner
according to shareholding interest (i.e. who holds the majority of votes in
commercial undertaking). Enterprises are considered to be in public ownership in case the
shareholding of the state or local government is 50% or more.
Enterprises are
considered to be in private ownership
in case the shareholding of the state or local government is less than 50%.
All state and municipal enterprises as well as
enterprises of private ownership with 20 or more employees are completely
enumerated. The rest of enterprises belonging to Estonian and foreign persons
in private law are sampled.
The group of respondents includes
enterprises, which had completed the questionnaire, as well as enterprises,
which had no economic activity in the reference period.
According to the Official Statistics Act
(Articles 8 and 9), Statistics Estonia is obliged to ensure the protection of
the collected data. The data can be used only for statistical purposes. The
data are disseminated and transmitted in a generalised form, all
characteristics, which permit identification of respondents, are excluded, the
data have to be grouped in at least threes where the proportion of each
respondent's data in aggregations does not exceed 90%. In case there are only
one or two enterprises in a group, the data can be transmitted or disseminated
only by the written consent of respondents.
