3.1. Data description | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Community Innovation Survey (CIS) is a survey about innovation activities in enterprises. The survey is designed to collect the information on different types of innovation, various aspects of the development of an innovation, objectives of innovation activities, sources of information, public funding or expenditure on innovation. Its aim is to measure the innovativeness of sectors and enable the analysis of the factors of innovation. The CIS provides statistics by type of innovators, economic activities and size class of enterprises. The survey is currently carried out every two years across the EU Member States, EFTA countries and EU candidate countries. In order to ensure comparability across countries, Eurostat together with the countries developed a Harmonised Data Collection (HDC) questionnaire accompanied by a set of definitions and methodological recommendations. CIS 2018 concepts and its underlying methodology are based on the Oslo Manual (2018) 4th Edition. New reviews of the CIS2018 aims to meet several objectives : 1: Reduce subjectivity and biases in the main CIS indicators 2: Improve reporting about innovation activities and capabilities in the firm 3: Ensure international comparability (including compliance with the OM4) 4: Broaden the basis CIS information on enterprise management 5: Take better account the diversity of enterprises in the EU 6: Improve reporting about external drivers and enablers of innovation 7: Improve timeliness 8: Ensure the feasibility of data collection 9: Ensure continuity with the CIS 2016 10: Improve reporting about the output and impact of innovation CIS2018 is conducted under Commission Regulation No 995/2012. This Regulation defines the mandatory target population of the survey referring to enterprises in the Core NACE economic sectors (see section 3.3.) with at least 10 employees. Further activities may be covered on a voluntary basis in national datasets. Most statistics are based on the 3-year reference period (t, t-1, t-2), but some use only one calendar year (t or t-2). Please consider CIS t to be the survey that refers to the same year of the quality report and CIS t-2 to be the previous survey e.g.: CIS 2018= CIS t then, CIS t-2=CIS 2016 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3.2. Classification system | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Indicators related to the enterprises are classified by country, economic activity (NACE Rev. 2), size class of enterprises and type of innovation. The main typology of classification of enterprises in reference to innovation is the distinction between innovation-active enterprises (INN) and not innovation-active enterprises (NINN). The enterprise is considered as innovative (INN) if during the reference period it successfully introduced a product or business process innovation, had ongoing innovation activities, abandoned innovation activities or was engaged in in-house R&D or R&D contracted out. Non-innovative (NINN) enterprises had no innovation activity mentioned above whatsoever during the reference period. |

11.2. Quality management - assessment | |||
The quality is considered to be good. The methodology used is based on the Oslo Manual recommendations and the questionnaire follows the CISt core questionnaire. For the sampling frame we used the national business register updated in November 2016. For imputation we use Banff from Statistics Canada. All variables except Expenditure and the module on Logistics innovation use Hot Deck-imputation. Expenditure use Cold Deck-imputation if possible, else mean within stratum. No imputation is made for the variables in the growth module. |

||||||||||||||||||
Relevance is the degree to which statistics meet current and potential users’ needs. It includes the production of all needed statistics and the extent to which concepts used (definitions, classifications etc.) reflect user needs. The aim is to describe the extent to which the statistics are useful to, and used by, the broadest array of users. For this purpose, statisticians need to compile information, firstly about their users and their needs. The CIS is based on a common questionnaire and a common survey methodology, as laid down in the 3rd edition of Oslo Manual (2005 edition), in order to achieve comparable, harmonised and high quality results for EU Member States, EFTA countries, Candidates and Associated countries. |
||||||||||||||||||
12.1. Relevance - User Needs | ||||||||||||||||||
User needs and requests are mostly vioced by the R&D/inovation council in Sweden (Användarrådet för FoU-statistik (scb.se)). The interest group consists of research intitutes and other organisatios that have great use for the Community Innovation Survey. Specific requestst from users are collected and thereafter judged on merits such as user demand as well as cost analysis. |
||||||||||||||||||
12.1.1. Needs at national level | ||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||
12.2. Relevance - User Satisfaction | ||||||||||||||||||
In 2012 a satisfaction survey was carried out among users of CIS and R&D statistics. The users said that metadata has to be easy to find and understand. They also requested more statistics at regional level. In order to accomodate this effort Statistics Sweden initialized publication of more regional statsitics in the form of a report, published evey second year. |
||||||||||||||||||
12.3. Completeness | ||||||||||||||||||
All mandatory indicators are included and published in national CIS as well as transmitted to Eurostat. Both regarding mandatory NACE, size classes and variables. |
||||||||||||||||||
12.3.1. Data completeness - rate | ||||||||||||||||||
Not requested. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.1. Accuracy - overall | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Accuracy in the statistical sense denotes the closeness of computations or estimates to the exact or true values. Statistics are not equal with the true values because of variability (the statistics change from implementation to implementation of the survey due to random effects) and bias (the average of the possible values of the statistics from implementation to implementation is not equal to the true value due to systematic effects). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.2. Sampling error | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
That part of the difference between a population value and an estimate thereof, derived from a random sample, which is due to the fact that only a subset of the population is enumerated. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.2.1. Sampling error - indicators | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The main indicator used to measure sampling errors for CIS data is the coefficient of variation (CV).
Coefficient of Variation= (Square root of the estimate of the sampling variance) / (Estimated value) Formula:
where |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.2.1.1. Coefficient of variations for key variables | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Coefficient of variation (%) for key variables by NACE categories and for enterprises with 10 and more employees
[1] = Coefficient of variation for the percentage of innovative enterprises (INN) in the total population of enterprises (ENT18) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.2.1.2. Variance estimation method | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Horvitz-Thompson is used for variance estimation. The sample weights Nh/nh has been adjusted with nh/nhR in each stratum. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.3. Non-sampling error | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Non-sampling errors occur in all phases of a survey. They add to the sampling errors (if present) and contribute to decreasing overall accuracy. It is important to assess their relative weight in the total error and devote appropriate resources for their control and assessment. No reports have been issued attempting to quantify the non-sampling error for CIS t=2018.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.3.1. Coverage error | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Coverage errors (or frame errors) are due to divergences between the target population and the frame population. The frame population is the set of target population members that has a chance to be selected into the survey sample. It is a listing of all items in the population from which the sample is drawn that contains contact details as well as sufficient information to perform stratification and sampling.

Not requested. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.3.1.3. Under covered groups of the target population | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
No under covered groups of the target population has been detected. To receive our frame population we used our national business register (updated in November 2018). No under-coverage is observed. There is some over-coverage in the frame population, due to enterprises have gone bankrupt. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.3.1.4. Coverage errors in coefficient variation | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The effects of coverage errors due to the found over-coverage is not incorporated in the CVs (see table in 13.2.1.1). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.3.2. Measurement error | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Measurement errors occur during data collection and generate bias by recording values different than the true ones. The survey questionnaire used for data collection may have led to the recording of wrong values, or there may be respondent or interviewer bias. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.3.2.1. Measures for reducing measurement errors | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Before sending out the survey Statistics Sweden tested the questionnaire, both the paper questionnaire and the web based questionnaire. The paper questionnaire was tested by experts on survey methodology. In the web-questionnaire there are controls that generates error messages if the the enterprises gives inconsistent answers or if they do not answer parts of questions, to reduce item non-response. In the web-based questionnaire the filter instructions are automatic depending on the answers. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.3.3. Non response error | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Non response occurs when a survey fails to collect data on all survey variables from all the population units designated for data collection in a sample or complete enumeration. There are two types of non-response: 1) Unit non-response, which occurs when no data (or so little as to be unusable) are collected about a population unit designated for data collection. a) Un-weighted unit non-response rate (%) = 100*(Number of units with no response or not usable response) / (Total number of in-scope (eligible) units in the sample) b) Weighted unit non-response rate (%) = 100*(Number of weighted units with no response or not usable response) / (Total number of in-scope (eligible) units in the sample) 2) Item non-response, which occurs when only data on some, but not all survey data items are collected about a population unit designated for data collection. a) Un-weighted item non-response rate (%) = 100*(Number of units with no response at all for the item) / (Total number of eligible, for the item, units in the sample i.e. filters have to be taken into account) |

Comparability aims at measuring the impact of differences in applied statistical concepts and definitions on the comparison of statistics between geographical areas, non-geographical domains, or over time. The coherence of statistical outputs refers to the degree to which the statistical processes by which they were generated used the same concepts (classifications, definitions, and target populations) and harmonised methods. Coherent statistical outputs have the potential to be validly combined and used jointly. |
