15.3. Coherence - cross domain | |||
When comparing data on bankruptcies and registration to data on births and deaths of enterprises, it should be noted that definitions are different. The only reason for inclusion in the bankruptcy data is decision on declaration of bankruptcy issued by a competent District Court. On the other hand, the data on the deaths of enterprises show amounts to the dissolution of a combination of production factors - it is not necessary to issue a decision of the court. In registration, the very fact of registering a legal entity is important, unlike data on the establishment of an enterprise, where what matters is whether a set of production factors has been created. In addition, data on bankruptcies and registrations refer to legal units, while data on births and deaths refer to enterprises which may consist of one or more legal units. Therefore, these figures cannot be directly compared and a detailed analysis of the definition of individual variable is necessary.
