Abstract

The paper describes the results of the quality analysis behind the process of integration and harmonization of administrati ve data with sample survey of small and medium-sized enterprises (SME). The integration process involves both Structural Business Statistics (SBS) and National Accounts (NA) to reduce the distance from the different estimates. The quality analysis considers a study of the coverage of administrative data, the harmonization of definitions and comparison analysis among administrative and survey data with a subsequent analysis of the distribution of differences in critical domains to verify the absence of systematic errors. The final quality analysis explores separately the impact of the new sources on the SME estimates by decomposing the difference in two parts: (1) the source effect due to the use of administrative data and (2) the sampling effect due to the passage from the sample to census estimations.
