DDI_BLR_2008_ES_v01_M_WB Antonina Redko <_value> NADA Version 01 Enterprise Survey 2008 ES 2008 BLR_2008_ES_v01_M_WB World Bank European Bank for Reconstruction and Development NADA World Bank European Bank for Reconstruction and Development Enterprise Survey [en/oth] Firm-level surveys have been conducted since 1998 by different units within the World Bank. Since 2005-06, most data collection efforts have been centralized within the Enterprise Analysis Unit. Earlier data from differing survey instruments have been matched to an older standard instrument for dissemination on the website. This survey is part of the fourth round of the Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS IV), a joint initiative of the World Bank Group ("WB") and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development ("EBRD"). This study is an enterprise survey whose objective is to gain an understanding of firms' perception of the environment in which they operate. The survey was until now administered three times at three years interval. This has added an important element of dynamics in the study of business environment in transition countries. The 2008 survey was restructured to improve cross-country comparability and to make it compatible with the Enterprise Surveys the Enterprise Analysis Unit of the World Bank has been implementing in the past two years in other regions of the world. The objective of the survey is to obtain feedback from enterprises in client countries on the state of the private sector as well as to help in building a panel of enterprise data that will make it possible to track changes in the business environment over time, thus allowing, for example, impact assessments of reforms. Through 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. The standard Enterprise Survey topics include firm characteristics, gender participation, access to finance, annual sales, costs of inputs/labor, workforce composition, bribery, licensing, infrastructure, trade, crime, competition, capacity utilization, land and permits, taxation, informality, business-government relations, innovation and technology, and performance measures. Over 90% of the questions objectively ascertain characteristics of a country’s business environment. The remaining questions assess the survey respondents’ opinions on what are the obstacles to firm growth and performance. The mode of data collection is face-to-face interviews. Belarus National Regions covered are selected based on the number of establishments, contribution to employment, and value added. In most cases these regions are metropolitan areas and reflect the largest centers of economic activity in a country. The primary sampling unit of the study is the establishment. An establishment is a physical location where business is carried out and where industrial operations take place or services are provided. A firm may be composed of one or more establishments. For example, a brewery may have several bottling plants and several establishments for distribution. For the purposes of this survey an establishment must make its own financial decisions and have its own financial statements separate from those of the firm. An establishment must also have its own management and control over its payroll. The manufacturing and services sectors are the primary business sectors of interest. This corresponds to firms classified with International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC) codes 15-37, 45, 50-52, 55, 60-64, and 72 (ISIC Rev.3.1). Formal (registered) companies with 5 or more employees are targeted for interview. Services firms include construction, retail, wholesale, hotels, restaurants, transport, storage, communications, and IT. Firms with 100% government/state ownership are not eligible to participate in an Enterprise Survey. Sample survey data [ssd] Centre of Political and Social Research The sample for Belarus was selected using stratified random sampling. Three levels of stratification were used in this country: industry, establishment size, and oblast (region). Industry stratification was designed in the way that follows: the universe was stratified into 23 manufacturing industries, 2 services industries -retail and IT-, and one residual sector. Each sector had a target of 120 interviews. Size stratification was defined following the standardized definition for the rollout: small (5 to 19 employees), medium (20 to 99 employees), and large (more than 99 employees). For stratification purposes, the number of employees was defined on the basis of reported permanent full-time workers. This seems to be an appropriate definition of the labor force since seasonal/casual/part-time employment is not a common practice, except in the sectors of construction and agriculture. Regional stratification was defined in 7 regions. These regions are Minskaya, Vitebskaya, Brestskaya, Mogilevskaya, Gomelskaya, Grodnenskaya, and Minsk. Given the stratified design, sample frames containing a complete and updated list of establishments for the selected regions were required. Great efforts were made to obtain the best source for these listings. However, the quality of the sample frames was not optimal and, therefore, some adjustments were needed to correct for the presence of ineligible units. These adjustments are reflected in the weights computation. The source of the sample frame is from the Ministry of Statistics and Analyses and an electronic database "register-Belarus Enterprises-January 2008." The quality of the frame was assessed at the onset of the project. The frame proved to be useful though it showed positive rates of non-eligibility, repetition, non-existent units, etc. These problems are typical of establishment surveys, but given the impact these inaccuracies may have on the results, adjustments were needed when computing the appropriate weights for individual observations. The percentage of confirmed non-eligible units as a proportion of the total number of contacts to complete the survey was 16% (116 out of 1013 establishments). Face-to-face [f2f] The current survey instruments are available: - Core Questionnaire + Manufacturing Module [ISIC Rev.3.1: 15-37] - Core Questionnaire + Retail Module [ISIC Rev.3.1: 52] - Core Questionnaire [ISIC Rev.3.1: 45, 50, 51, 55, 60-64, 72] - Screener Questionnaire The “Core Questionnaire” is the heart of the Enterprise Survey and contains the survey questions asked of all firms across the world. There are also two other survey instruments - the “Core Questionnaire + Manufacturing Module” and the “Core Questionnaire + Retail Module.” The survey is fielded via three instruments in order to not ask questions that are irrelevant to specific types of firms, e.g. a question that relates to production and nonproduction workers should not be asked of a retail firm. In addition to questions that are asked across countries, all surveys are customized and contain country-specific questions. An example of customization would be including tourism-related questions that are asked in certain countries when tourism is an existing or potential sector of economic growth. The standard Enterprise Survey topics include firm characteristics, gender participation, access to finance, annual sales, costs of inputs/labor, workforce composition, bribery, licensing, infrastructure, trade, crime, competition, capacity utilization, land and permits, taxation, informality, business-government relations, innovation and technology, and performance measures. Over 90% of the questions objectively ascertain characteristics of a country’s business environment. The remaining questions assess the survey respondents’ opinions on what are the obstacles to firm growth and performance. Private contractors conduct the Enterprise Surveys on behalf of the World Bank. Due to sensitive survey questions addressing business-government relations and corruption-related topics, private contractors are preferred over any government agency or an organization/institution associated with government, and are hired by the World Bank to collect the data. The Enterprise Surveys are implemented following a two-stage procedure. In the first stage, a screener questionnaire is applied over the phone to determine eligibility and to make appointments; in the second stage, a face-to-face interview takes place with the Manager/Owner/Director of each establishment. Sometimes the survey respondent calls company accountants and human resource managers into the interview to answer questions in the sales and labor sections of the survey. All Enterprise Surveys are conducted in the local languages. Complete information regarding the sampling methodology, sample frame, weights, response rates, and implementation can be found in the document "Description of Belarus implementation.pdf" Complete information regarding the sampling methodology, sample frame, weights, response rates, and implementation can be found in the document "Description of Belarus implementation.pdf" For some units it was impossible to determine eligibility because the contact was not successfully completed. Consequently, different assumptions as to their eligibility result in different universe cells' adjustments and in different sampling weights. Three sets of assumptions were considered: a- Strict assumption: eligible establishments are only those for which it was possible to directly determine eligibility. The resulting weights are included in the variable wstrict. b- Median assumption: eligible establishments are those for which it was possible to directly determine eligibility and those that rejected the screener questionnaire or an answering machine or fax was the only response. The resulting weights are included in the variable wmedian. Median weights are used for computing indicators on the www.enterprisesurveys.org website. c- Weak assumption: in addition to the establishments included in points a and b, all establishments for which it was not possible to finalize a contact are assumed eligible. This includes establishments with dead or out of service phone lines, establishments that never answered the phone, and establishments with incorrect addresses for which it was impossible to find a new address. The resulting weights are included in the variable wweak. Note that under the weak assumption only observed non-eligible units are excluded from universe projections. Data entry and quality controls are implemented by the contractor and data is delivered to the World Bank in batches (typically 10%, 50% and 100%). These data deliveries are checked for logical consistency, out of range values, skip patterns, and duplicate entries. Problems are flagged by the World Bank and corrected by the implementing contractor through data checks, callbacks, and revisiting establishments. Complete information regarding the sampling methodology, sample frame, weights, response rates, and implementation can be found in the document "Description of Belarus Implementation.pdf" Confidentiality of the survey respondents and the sensitive information they provide is necessary to ensure the greatest degree of survey participation, integrity and confidence in the quality of the data. Surveys are usually carried out in cooperation with business organizations and government agencies promoting job creation and economic growth, but confidentiality is never compromised.

FOLLOWING TO THE RESPONDENT BEFORE PROCEEDING. The goal of this survey is to gather information and opinions about the investment climate in this country. Ultimately, the information gathered here will help to develop new policies and programs that enhance employment and economic growth. The information obtained here will be held in the strictest confidentiality. Neither your name nor the name of your business will be used in any document based on this survey. 2) READ OUT THE FOLLOWING INTRODUCTORY SENTENCE ONLY IF A7 = 1 (yes): The first few questions apply to the firm which your establishment is part of. 3) SHOW CARD What is this firm‘s current legal status? If answer is 3 then SKIP TO B.2 A firm's legal status is information well known for the target respondent: CEO, General Manager or owner of the firm. ENUMERATORS DO NOT NEED TO KNOW THE DEFINITION OF EACH TYPE OF LEGAL STATUS. A firm's legal status is first determined by whether participation on ownership is by shares (first 2 options) or not (options 3 and 4). The fifth option is a combination of the previous ones. If a firm's shares are publicly traded, it is a shareholding company with shares traded in the stock market. If the shares are not traded or they are traded only privately it is a shareholding company with shares traded privately. A shareholding company with shares traded privately is a firm that is owned by partners or shareholders for whom their claims over the firm are not publicly traded. They may or may not be traded privately. In both of these categories firms have limited liability. A sole proprietorship is a business owned and operated by one individual natural person. A natural person is a real human being, as opposed to an artificial legal entity such as a corporation or organization that the law treats for some purposes as if it were a person distinct from its members or owner(s). A firm's legal status defines the extent of the liability which defines the level of responsibility of the owner over the firm's obligations. Under limited liability each owner is only responsible for the proportion of his/her shares. A partnership allows two or more people to share profits and liabilities, with or without privately held shares. In a partnership, the parties could be individuals, corporations, trusts, other partnerships, or a combination of all of the above. The essential characteristic of this partnership is the unlimited liability of every partner. Limited partnership is a legal form that includes one or several general partners and one or more limited partners who invest capital into the partnership, but do not take part in the daily operation or management of the business. The limited partners limit their amount of liability to the amount of capital invested in the partnership. The general partners personally shoulder all debts and obligations of the partnership. Business operations are governed, unless otherwise specified in a written agreement, by majority vote of voting partners. Limited liability partnerships are separate legal entities that provide liability protection for all general partners as well as management rights in the business. Cooperatives and state owned firms should be designated as Other. When other is chosen, the actual form of legal status must be specified in writing by the enumerator on the survey instrument. 273 -9 don't know 1 publicly listed company 2 privately held, limited liability company 3 sole proprietorship 4 partnership 5 limited partnership 6 other b1x.other (specify) b1x.other (specify) b1x.other (specify) b1x.other (specify) b1x.other (specify) What is this firm's current legal status?

INTERVIEWER: for European Union countries ask for goods exported directly outside the EU In fiscal year 2007,when this establishment exported goods directly, how many days did it take on average from the time this establishment's goods arrived at their main point of exit (e.g., port, airport) until the time these goods cleared customs? Clearing customs for direct exports. The purpose of this question is to determine the efficiency of customs in clearing goods for export. Main point of exit is the last domestic location (e.g. port, border crossing, airport, or internal custom) from which the goods leave the country. Whenever different ports of exit are used this question refers to the port where “most goods” exit defined in terms of consignment value (not physical units). Goods cleared customs They refer to the time it takes to obtain all clearances required from the moment the goods arrived at their point of exit until the moment they satisfy the requirements of the clearance procedures at the customs office. This includes transit procedures. Average number of days to clear customs. Prompt the respondent to think of all shipments sent to the main point of exit and estimate an average time it took from the time the shipments arrived to the time they left that point of exit. 54 219 -9 don't know -7 does not apply 1 less than one day 2 3 4 7 10 14 45 Sysmiss % consignment value dir. exports lost in transit due to theft/breakage/spoilage % consignment value dir. exports lost in transit due to theft/breakage/spoilage % consignment value dir. exports lost in transit due to theft/breakage/spoilage % consignment value dir. exports lost in transit due to theft/breakage/spoilage % consignment value dir. exports lost in transit due to theft/breakage/spoilage In fiscal year 2007, what percentage of the consignment value of the products exported directly was lost while in transit because of theft, breakage or spoilage? Theft, breakage or spoilage for direct export. The purpose of this question is to determine the extent of losses that stem from theft, breakage or spoilage as goods are transported for export, independently of whether the cost is borne by the establishment or a third party that is hired to transport the goods. Consignment value is the value paid when goods are delivered to the receiver. Theft refers to robbery that occurred outside the premises of the establishment. Breakage refers to the inoperability or usability of the good. A broken good is inoperable or unusable in its current state. 54 219 -9 don't know 1 15 Sysmiss in what year did this establishment first export directly or indirectly? in what year did this establishment first export directly or indirectly? in what year did this establishment first export directly or indirectly? in what year did this establishment first export directly or indirectly? in what year did this establishment first export directly or indirectly?

The purpose of these questions is to measure the efficiency of customs clearance of imports. Goods cleared customs includes all clearances required from the moment the goods arrived at their point of entry (e.g., port, airport) until the moment they satisfy the requirement of the clearance procedures at the customs office and can be picked up. It does not include time spent on transportation to reach the point of entry. Average number of days to clear customs. Prompt respondent to think of various shipments destined to the establishment that originated from abroad, and to estimate an average of the time it took when the shipment arrived to the country's point of entry to the time the establishment was allowed to claim them and begin domestic transport. 30 243 -9 don't know -7 does not apply 1 less than one day 2 3 4 5 7 10 14 15 45 Sysmiss when you receive your most key input, how many days of stock is available? when you receive your most key input, how many days of stock is available? when you receive your most key input, how many days of stock is available? when you receive your most key input, how many days of stock is available? when you receive your most key input, how many days of stock is available? At the present time, when this establishment receives delivery of its most important input, on average, how many days of inventory, measured in days of production, does this establishment keep? INTERVIEWER: IF RESPONDENT REQUIRES CLARIFICATION, DEFINE AS STOCK ON HAND Days of inventory of main input. The purpose of this question is to assess the efficiency in the supply chain. When firms have to maintain a high level of stock, because they cannot rely on a predictable supply of inputs, this is a source of economic inefficiency. Inversely, if supplies of the main input can be relied upon to be easily available, firms will keep low levels of stock on hand. The main input is the input that accounts for the highest value among all inputs. It is not the input for which stock is maintained the longest. For example, if a company makes shirts, the most important input is the cloth, not the buttons and thread, though the establishment may actually keep a 90 day supply of buttons on hand and only a 30 day stock of cloth. Days of inventory should be calculated as the number of days of normal production capacity before running out of stock. 84 189 -9 don't know 1 2 5 6 7 10 12 14 15 17 20 22 25 30 31 45 52 60 90 100 120 180 288 Sysmiss av. number of days of inventory on hand after receving sales item av. number of days of inventory on hand after receving sales item av. number of days of inventory on hand after receving sales item av. number of days of inventory on hand after receving sales item av. number of days of inventory on hand after receving sales item At the present time, when this establishment receives its main sales item, on average, how many days of inventory measured in days of sales, does this establishment keep? INTERVIEWER: IF RESPONDENT REQUIRES CLARIFICATION, DEFINE AS STOCK ON HAND Days of inventory of main sales item The purpose of this question is to assess the efficiency in the supply chain. When firms have to maintain a high level of sales items in stock, because they cannot rely on a predictable supply, this is a source of economic inefficiency. Inversely, if supplies of the main sales can be relied upon to be easily available, firms will keep low levels of stock on hand. The main sales item is the item that accounts for the highest percentage of sales among all items that the establishment sells. It is not the item for which stock is maintained the longest. Days of inventory should be calculated as how many days it would take, under normal sales conditions, to deplete the main sales item held in supply at the establishment's premises. 126 147 -9 don't know 2 3 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 14 15 16 17 18 20 21 22 25 26 30 35 37 40 45 50 55 60 71 90 115 134 180 Sysmiss how much of an obstcle is: transportation of goods, supplies, and inputs? how much of an obstcle is: transportation of goods, supplies, and inputs? how much of an obstcle is: transportation of goods, supplies, and inputs? how much of an obstcle is: transportation of goods, supplies, and inputs? how much of an obstcle is: transportation of goods, supplies, and inputs?

Local - main product sold mostly in same municipality where establishment is located National - main product sold mostly across the country where establishment is located International - main product sold mostly to nations outside country where establishment is located If answer is 3 or Don't Know then GO TO QUESTION E.6 The purpose of this question is to get the establishment to define what it considers to be its main market. The main product is defined by the output that generates the highest proportion of sales. The establishment's main market is defined by the market that generates the most sales for the main product as defined above. It could be the case that an establishment's main product is sold in smaller proportions in a greater number of markets and that the main product is never the greatest total annual share of revenue in any one market. For example, 51 percent of revenue comes from selling nails, but that is distributed equally in the local, national, and international markets, 33 percent in each. Bolts make up 49 percent of total annual revenues. However, half of the revenue for bolts comes from selling in the international market and half in the local market. It is clear that bolts sell more in its respective market with respect to nails, but does not generate as much revenue as nails do for the establishment. In such a case, nails should be used as the main product. Whenever local, national and international markets have equal shares choose the national market and do not follow the skip pattern. 84 189 -9 don't know 1 local - main product sold mostly in same municipality 2 national - main product sold mostly across the country 3 international - main product sold mostly to nations outside Sysmiss how many competitors did this establishment’s main product/product line face? how many competitors did this establishment’s main product/product line face? how many competitors did this establishment’s main product/product line face? how many competitors did this establishment’s main product/product line face? how many competitors did this establishment’s main product/product line face?

Machinery, vehicles, and equipment This question is designed to ascertain the market value of the establishment's assets. Data on equipment is the most important. You can ask the manager to estimate the market value if all of the equipment, land and buildings were sold on the open market. If the respondent states that there is no market, ask how much the respondent would be willing to pay for the capital, knowing what it can produce in its current condition.
