Replication data for: CSAE Ghana RPED/GMES Data. Regional Project on Enterprise Development & Ghana Manufacturing Enterprise Survey

This dataset contains comprehensive panel data set on a sample of firms within the Ghanaian manufacturing sector. This data was collected in five rounds over the period 1992 to 1998. The first three rounds were annual surveys, referred to here as Waves I – III, as part of the Regional Program on Enterprise Development (RPED) organised by the World Bank. The fourth and fifth rounds of the data each cover two year periods. The data was collected by a team from the Centre for the Study of African Economies (CSAE), University of Oxford, the University of Ghana, Legon and the Ghana Statistical Office. The original sample of 200 firms, which were first surveyed in 1992, was drawn on a random basis from firms contained in the 1987 Census of Manufacturing Activities. The firms panel was broadly representative of the size distribution of firms across the major sectors of Ghana’s manufacturing industry. These sectors include food processing, textiles and garments, wood products and furniture, metal products and machinery.本数据集包含加纳制造业部门内企业样本的全面面板数据。该数据集于1992年至1998年间分五轮完成采集。前三轮为年度调查，本文中将其称为第一至第三轮调研（Waves I–III），该系列调查作为世界银行（World Bank）组织的企业发展区域计划（Regional Program on Enterprise Development, RPED）的组成部分实施。第四轮与第五轮调研的覆盖周期均为两年。本次数据采集工作由牛津大学非洲经济研究中心（Centre for the Study of African Economies, CSAE）、加纳大学莱贡分校以及加纳统计局的联合团队完成。初始样本包含200家于1992年首次接受调研的企业，该样本从1987年制造业活动普查收录的企业中随机抽取得到。该企业面板样本能够广泛代表加纳制造业各主要板块的企业规模分布情况，涵盖食品加工、纺织服装、木制品与家具、金属制品及机械制造领域。
