The Globalisation Statistics database contains figures on foreign affiliates (inward investment) by investing country in the manufacturing sector covering variables such as number of enterprises, total employees, gross output, imports/exports, gross fixed capital formation and Research and Development expenditures and also presents data on inward and outward investment for services.

Measuring Globalisation is split into a number of datasets:

Activity of Multinationals in Manufacturing and Activity of Multinationals in services: provide comprehensive data on the industrial activity (manufacturing, service) of multinationals in OECD. It covers variables such as production, employment, research and trade, inward as well as outward investment. It also includes some international trade indicators that provide cross-disciplinary background information.

Maritime Transport Costs: this comparative table includes statistics on bilateral maritime transport costs for 43 importing countries including EU15 countries as a custom union and 218 countries of origin at the detailed commodity 6 digit level of the Harmonised System 1988. The table is further broken down by type of goods (agriculture, raw materials, crude oil, manufacturing), commodity (oil seed, vegetable, organic chemicals), transport cost measures (ad valorem transport, unit transport cost) and transport mode (containers, dirty bulk). Data are available from 1991 onwards.

Trade by Enterprise Characteristics (TEC) database: contains international annual trade data broken down in different categories of enterprises. It aims to provide a solid basis for analysts who explore in the context of globalisation the characteristics of trade actors.

These data were first provided by the UK Data Service in March 2004.

Main Topics:

The database covers:

• economic indicators
• manufacturing industries
• industrial economics
• industrial enterprises
• foreign investment
• service industries
• international economics
• economic integration

During 1998, in line with other European Union (EU) member states, the UK adopted the new European System of Accounts (ESA 95), to be used by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) for the production of financial data. In September 1998 the UK National Accounts were published for the first time using ESA95. Under this system, ONS is required to compile more detailed regional economic information than was previously the case and now produces regional Gross Value Added (GVA - formerly Gross Domestic Product or GDP, to which some series still refer), regional Household Accounts and regional Gross Fixed Capital Formation. Most Regional Accounts data are now consistent with ESA95 - users should refer to the information in the 'Main Topics' section below, and the documentation.
Regional Accounts data are compiled mainly from the UK National Accounts (Blue Book), the New Earnings Survey (NES) and the Annual Business Inquiry (ABI 2).

For the 8th edition (December 2002), data files covering Gross Value Added (GVA - formerly GDP) by GOR, Industry, Manufacturing Class and other tables were added to the dataset. On 10th December 2002, however, ONS withdrew the 8th edition GVA data files, due to errors discovered in the data.


Main Topics:

PART I: Regional Gross Value Added (GVA - formerly GDP) up to 1998/1999 - European System of Accounts 1995 (ESA95) basis.

The alphanumeric codes appearing in square brackets beside each industry title represent the Input-Output Industry Classification (IOIC) codes. The IOIC identifies both institutional sectors and industries based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The first two characters of the IOIC alphanumeric codes represent the sector. IOIC codes beginning with a BS represent business sector industries, codes beginning with an NP represent Non-Profit Institutions Serving Household (NPISH) sector industries, and codes beginning with a GS represent government sector industries.

Abstract

Data on Distributive and Service Trade is required for a variety of puroses. One of the most important is, to provide a basis for assessing trends in the economy, i.e. to examine changes in sectoral distribution and the growth of the sector itself. For this purpose, annual and more frequent survey estimates on the contribution of this sector to the national economy and the growth of the sector is crucial. More specifically, sales of goods and services within the sector, to producers/agriculture and industry and final consumers; changes in stocks, fixed capital formation /capital investment/ and wages and salaries earned in the sector would provide useful indicators on the activity, structural distribution and trends of the sector. Comprehensive data on Distributive and Service Trade broken down by activity is required in building up indexes of wholesale and retail trades, which are important indicators of business activity.

The Distributive and Service Trade Enterprise Survey was conducted to: i) Obtain information on the number and geographic distribution (i.e. at major regional capitals and other urban level) of distributove and service trade enterprise, ii) Assess the share of this sector on the economic situation of towns/cities, iii) Estimate the number of persons engaged in this sector, iv) Obtain data on the type and flow of goods and services in order to allow policy information or policy change to strengthen the sector, v) To get estimates on the contribution of the distributive trade and services to gross domestic product (GDP), vi) To make comparison with baseline survey of Distributive and Service Trade, vii) Obtain estimates of the values of the sector in terms of various economic measures (i.e. gross value of income, value added, operating surplus, investment, etc...), viii) To ger information on the effects of the existing economix policies on this sector, ix) Obtain data on the makor problems and constraints faced by the owners of enterprises/establishments in the sector, and x) Obtain data that could be helpful in formulating socio-economic plans and programmes.

Geographic coverage

The survey covered only urban parts of the country. Eleven regional capitals (including Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa), four major urban centers and seventy-three other selected urban centers were included in the survey.

Analysis unit

Enterprise (Distributive and Service Trade)

Universe

The Distributive and Service Trade Survey is confined in selected urban parts of the country.

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

Sample Design For the purpose of the survey, taking in to account of their population and expected distribution of trade and service enterprise, urban areas of the country were divided in to the following two broad categories.

Category I: Eleven regional capitals and four major urban centers of the country were grouped in this category. Each of them is considered to be the survey domain (reporting level) for which separate results for major survey characterstics were reported.

A two-stage stratified cluster sample design was used to select the sample in which the primary sampling units (PSUs) were enumeration areas (EAs). Sampling units from each domain were selected using systematic probability proportional to size; size being number of trade enterprise obtained from the 1994 Population and Housing Census. For each sampled EA a fresh list of housing units was prepared to identify trade enterprises eligible for the survey. Enterprises were further classified in to three groups,, namely, wholesale trade, retail trade and service enterprises. All wholesale trade enterprises found in the sampled EAs were covered by the survey. On the other hand in those EAs where the number of retail trade and service enterprises found were less or equal to 30, all of them were covered by the survey. However, if the number of retail trade and service enterprises of an EA exceeded 30, the survey questionnaire was administered only for 30 of them.

Category II: This category consists of eight domains (reporting levels) of urban centers that are not included in the first category, namely, i) Tigray othr urban ii) Afar other urban iii) Amhara other urban iv) Oromia other urban v) Somali other urban vi) Benishangul-Gumuz other urban vii) SNNPR other urban viii) Gambella other urban

A three- stage stratified cluster sample design was adopted to select the sample from domains in category II. The PSUs were urban centers selected using systematic probability proportional to size; size being number of trade enterprises obtained from the 1994 Population and Housing Census. The secondary sampling units were EAs that were selected using systematic probability proportional to size; size being number of trade enterprises prepared at the begining of the survey's fieldwork. Every wholesale trade, all retail trade and service enterprises (in EAs where the number of retail trade and service enterprises found is less or equal to 30) and only 30 systematically sampled retail trade and service enterprise (from the listing of each EA that have more than 30 retail trade and service enterprises) were considered lastly and the survey questionnaire administered only to them.

Besides, required samples for Harari, Dir Dawa and Addis Ababa are entirely selected from Harar, Dire Dawa and Addis Ababa urban centers, respectively. Therefore, excluding these regions eight additional domains (reporting levels for the entire region) could be defined by merging domains of the above two categories. They were, a) Urban Tigray b) Urban Afar c) Urban Amhara d) Urban Oromia e) Urban Somali f) Urban Benishangul-Gumuz g) Urban SNNP h) Urban Gambella

Including country level (total urban) all in all thirty-two domains were defined fro the survey.
