Context: activity code as a general reference

Reference in statistics

Reference outside statistics: insurance companies, banks, etc. use it to organise their fields of activity

Activity code used as general reference: marketable value in Switzerland

1. Elaborating the Swiss national version of NACE Rev. 2

National consultations (national and regional government, professional associations, partners, clients), first, on NACE Rev. 2 structure, then, on national 6th digit

Discussions and analysis: according to which criteria should a further specification at the level of the 6th digit be granted or refused? Number of enterprises, employment, turnover, information available…

• Automatic recoding of all units having a 1: 1 relation between NACE Rev. 1.1 and NACE Rev. 2

• Manual recoding of all units having a 1: n or n: m relation based on survey questionnaires filled in by active enterprises during 2005 Enterprise Census (no additional survey conducted)

development of a weighted conversion matrix based on the manual recoding (for each unit there is a NACE Rev. 1.1 code and a NACE Rev. 2 code)

• Automatic recoding of all deleted, fictitious or inactive units found in the 1: n or n: m NACE Rev. 2 relation groups, based on weighted conversion matrix

• Specific quality controls for units in this category

• Business register’s switch: June 14 2007

• Double-coding during a few years to allow NACE Rev.2 implementation in all statistics as well as time series calculations

• For collaborators and partners: specific training, coding handbook (practical auxiliary rules), coding assistance tool

3. Implementation in the statistics

• Approximately 30 statistics (structural business statistics, short term statistics, synthesis statistics) are involved. Coordination must be assured to guarantee a coherent system (NACE Rev. 2 implementation will be carried out from 2008 until 2011, coordinated with the National Accounts)

• Plan time needed to recalculate survey plans• Evaluate back-casting strategies and their costs• Develop global publication plan (data will be published

according to two different classifications)

Conclusion

Classification changes do make a difference(an entirely different structure)

Communication and coordination: important assets before and during the project

After the project: analyse impact on statistics results (dissemination of changes) and explain it to users
