3.1. Data description | |||
The purpose of the industrial survey is to provide data on short term economic development of the industrial productions. The MONSTAT industrial survey collects data on quantities of finished products and goods and services, number of employees and number of hours worked for the reporting month. The data which compiled with this survey can be used for research of current trends and conditions market, from the viewpoint of changes in the industrial production, and seasonal and other changes. The industrial production index measures the changes of the volume of production for industry (excluding construction activity). |

Reporting units are enterprises (companies) and KAU whose main activity is industry and who are in the Central Register of the Commercial Court to the classification of economic activities registered in the section B (Mining and quarrying), C (Manufacturing) and D (Electricity, gas, steam and air condition supply). |
|||
3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions | |||
The main aim of IPI is to measure volume of production with the theoretical purpose to provide measurement for value added. In Montenegro, the index of industrial production index is calculated from changes in volume of industrial production on the product level, in the reporting month compared with the average of reference year. Finished production is presented as the quantity of the finished goods in the reporting month. Number of employees - defined as the total number of employees who work in the observation unit (including working proprietors, partners working regularly and unpaid family workers). Gross salaries -Total defined as gross salaries, which include net earnings and taxes and contributions if the salary paid. Hours worked including working hours which employees are held in operating activities during the reporting month. |

18.1. Source data | |||
Data are collected on a basis of all KAU with 5 and more employees of reporting units including Statistical Business Register (SBR) in MONSTAT which are registered in the section B-Mining and quarrying, C-Manufacturing and D-Electricity, gas, steam and air-conditioning supply. Nace Rev. 2 classification. The industrial production index measures the changes of the volume of production for industry excluding construction activity, quantity and value of stocks of finished production. |
|||
18.2. Frequency of data collection | |||
Monthly. |
|||
18.3. Data collection | |||
Data are collected through questionnaires (by post, email or fax). We also contact the reporting units by the phone or email continuously. |
|||
18.4. Data validation | |||
At national level, editing involves studying data from respondents with the aim of identifying (and eventually correcting) errors. Not all errors can be identified and the aim is to detect the errors that have a significant influence on the results. Rules to assist in identifying errors may flag possible errors that require further investigation to determine where there really is an error as opposed to an unusual result or they may identify definite errors. Editing involves checks for completeness, that values are within given ranges and that values for related variables are coherent. Data editing may take place during or after data entry. In order to improve the quality of data we check that the coverage and response are as required; checking the illogicalities (large increase or decrease in value of construction works, a large change in the new contracts compared to the previous quarter) and ect. We contact the reporting units if it’s necessary. |
|||
18.5. Data compilation | |||
Data are collected from reporting units which represent the movement of the physical volume of industrial production, and therefore the results of research are the monthly assessment of realized production. In the some special case, we do imputation on the field level and at the level of the questionnaire. Imputation on the field: missing variable imputed take average production from previous period. Imputation on at the level of questionnaire: imputed data based on previous period (average value of each variables). After the entering we used Laspeyres type of index for calculation IPI. |
|||
18.6. Adjustment | |||
We started to working days adjusting and seasonally adjusting data through jDemetra+ from 2021. The working days and seasonally adjusted data are transmitted to Eurostat. |
