| description |
Researchers have decried the limited
supply of objective, comparable firm-level data from
developing countries. The author describes a new database
that helps fill this information gap. The database has
detailed records on 4000 firms operating in Indonesia, the
Republic of Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand.
A comparable survey instrument and sampling methodology was
used in each country, and all five studies were carried out
simultaneously. The data cover three years (1996-98),
allowing for measurements of firm performance before and
immediately after the East Asian financial crisis. The
questionnaire focused on measuring the impact of the
regional financial crisis at the microeconomic level and
understanding the longer-run determinants of productivity,
employment practices, and financial structure. This
database--the first step in the important Firm Analysis and
Competitiveness Surveys initiative that the World Bank is
spearheading--will be joined by additional country
databases. The aim is to fill the gap in much-needed
microeconomic evidence using comparable instruments. |
