|||
11.2. Quality management - assessment | |||
- The indicator is relevant to various group of users. - Concerning accuracy, some problems are caused by misclassification; response rates are reasonable, especially at the time of revisions. - Release deadlines allow to meet requirements of both EU legislation and other users' requirements. All News releases are published on time. - There are no major problems with comparability and coherence of the indicator. |
|
|||
12.1. Relevance - User Needs | |||
1. External users: Eurostat, OECD, Ministry of Industry and Trade, Czech National Bank, professional associations, media, general public. Unmet user needs: Users would like to have more detailed data, i.e. data on sales by 4-digit CZ-NACE activity or even more detailed, geographical breakdown, absolute values of an indicator. These requests are not satisfied due to survey methodology, capacity and financial limits. |
|||
12.2. Relevance - User Satisfaction | |||
No users satisfaction surveys are carried out, however, we are constantly in contact with different groups of users, e.g. ministries, Czech National Bank, different associations (e.g. Association of small and medium sized Enterprises and Crafts of the Czech Republic), internet users etc. |
|||
12.3. Completeness | |||
The Czech Republic provides Eurostat with all data required by the STS Regulation. |
|
|||
13.1. Accuracy - overall | |||
- The sampling error in the data is not systematically measured, but believed to be negligible. |
|||
13.2. Sampling error | |||
The sampling error is estimated to be relatively small. For CV´s see section 13.3. |
|||
13.3. Non-sampling error | |||
General problems: Non-respons rate in 202209 for H+I+J+L+M+N is 12,6. Coefficient of variation in 202209 for H+I+J+L+M+N is 0,1698. |
|
|||
14.1. Timeliness | |||
Data are published approximately 40 calendar days after the end of the reference month. Data for the reference month are provisional. Final data for the whole calendar year are published in March of the following year. All questionnaires for the whole year are sent to the reporting units at the beginning of the year (January). Units are required to reply by the 20th calendar day after the end of the reference month. The survey (for the year) is closed approximately three months after the end of the reference year. |
|||
14.2. Punctuality | |||
Releases delivered on time: 100%. |
|
|||
15.1. Comparability - geographical | |||
Data are fully comparable. |
|||
15.2. Comparability - over time | |||
Time series are comparable over time. |
|||
15.3. Coherence - cross domain | |||
Data from the monthly survey can be compared with the results of the structural business survey (SBS). Differences are due to methodology, mainly because the monthly survey focuses on the y-o-y index. Coherence is assisted by use of the Business Register and a database coordinating main activity of enterprises over all surveys. |
|||
15.4. Coherence - internal | |||
There are no problems regarding internal consistence of the time series in question. |
|
|||
Turnover is surveyed on the questionnaire SP 1-12 (common with retail trade). The questionnaire is sent to a sample of aproximately 4,9 thousand service businesses. Respondent burden for services enterprises is estimated on 7,1 thousand hours per year. Costs of the CZSO for the indicator are estimated as 9,6 thousand hours per year. |
|
|||
17.1. Data revision - policy | |||
The system of regular revisions is briefly described on the CZSO website. Revision calendar is published on the CZSO website. Revised data are published on the same dates as published data. The same revision policy (for all types of revision: routine revisions, major revisions, non-scheduled revisions) is applied to data released nationally and transmitted to Eurostat. Irregular revisions (such as changing of the processing program or correction of errors) are announced at the time of release. Methodological changes are announced at the time of the change, major changes in advance. Annexes: Key documents Revision Policy of the CZSO Catalogue of Products |
|||
17.2. Data revision - practice | |||
Monthly Revisions: With the publication of data for the current month, the data for the previous month are revised (for example: when data for February of the year Y are released data for January of the year Y are revised). Annual Revisions: 1st annual revision of monthly estimates for all reference periods of the last elapsed year (Y) is released along with the appropriate Time series for January of the current year. The revisions are based on further knowledge and more accurate data acquired during the year. Data released in this revision are considered to be finalised data. The revisions between preliminary and definitive data for total services do not exceed 2 percentage point. MAR: 0,6751 MR: 0,4112 |
|
|||
18.1. Source data | |||
Type of source: combination od Statistical survey (SP 1-12) and model based on administrative data source (VAT) Frame on which the source is based: Business Register (RES) We sticked with Statistical survey (SP 1-12) for several activity (CZ NACE) for which model based on VAT didn‘t give good results. Stratified sample: Stratification by main activity (CZ NACE) and number of employees, proportional-to-sales sampling Employee size classes: 0-19, 20-49, 50-99, 100 and more. CZ-NACE strata: 56, 59, 60, 68.1+68.2, 69.1, 69.2, 74.1+74.2+74.3, 74.9, 77.11, 82.1, 82.9.
For other CZ-NACE activity we use combination of Statistical survey (SP 1-12) and model based on administrative data source (VAT) For each CZ-NACE activity we have determined threshold: all units above this threshold are included in sample of Statistical survey (SP 1-12) Remainder is modeled on base of VAT - only monthly payers are used.
Frequency of updating the sample: A new sample is drawn every year and updated every month (only exhaustive strata). |
|||
18.2. Frequency of data collection | |||
Data for the current month of the current year are collected monthly. Data for all months of the previous year are collected once at the beginning of the survey of the reference year for reporting units that were not included in the previous year’s sample (or that did not reply for the whole previous year). |
|||
18.3. Data collection | |||
Questionnaire SP 1-12 is sent to all selected reporting units in selected service activities (units that are selected for the first time in the sample or those that did not reply in the preceding year receive an additional annex – Entry Questionnaire). Data are collected by electronic, web and postal questionnaires. Non-responding units are contacted by mail, e-mail or phone and can be sanctioned. |
|||
18.4. Data validation | |||
The electronic form of questionnaire contains built-in logical controls that draw respondent's attention to possible errors. |
|||
18.5. Data compilation | |||
Missing data for the previous year are estimated from administrative data, missing data for the current year are calculated by the average year-on-year development in the stratum to which the unit belongs. Turnover is grossed-up to the population using imputation. Grossed-up results are used only to calculate indices. The year-on-year index is calculated from grossed up results and then chained to the base year. The methodology is based on a Laspeyres index. Turnover of the base year is used as the weight for each strata. The files are converted to SDMX using internally developed application. |
|||
18.6. Adjustment | |||
The Tramo/Seats method implemented in software JDemetra+ version 2.2.2. is used for seasonal adjustment. The CZSO uses manual selected models. Model are regularly reviewed once a year with a revision of the year. Values of parameters are recalculated every month and outliers are identified in the newly added observation. Each month, when publishing adjusted time series, data for the previous 14 months have been recalculated backwards. Final non-adjusted data are published following the processing of all months of the reference year, in March of the following year at the latest. Together with a revision for a year, an adjustment model is changed and therefore the whole time series is recalculated. The CZSO uses Arima and multiplicative seasonal adjustment decomposition. The critical value for outlier detection is 3,5. The filter lenght is automatically chosen. There is no seasonal breaks in series. Seasonal and working day adjustment is performed on the following series: NACE Divisions - H49, H50, H51, H52, H53, I55, I56, J58, J59, J60, J61, J62, J63, L68, M69, M71, M73, M74, N77, N78, N79, N80, N81, N82 3-digit NACE - M701, M702 We use the indirect method for seasonal and working day adjustment. We calculate other series by adding the values of their components (eg section I is formed by the sum of I55 and I56). Residual seasonality is checked automatickly by JDemetra+. Consistency among the different levels of breakdown is carried out by indirect method. For details on seasonal and working day adjustment please see the annex, which refers to the situation as in 2022. Annexes: Seasonal Adjustment Metadata Template - Services |
