Enterprise Survey 2019 - Haiti

Abstract
---------------------------

This research was conducted in Haiti in October 2019, as part of the of the Enterprise Survey. The objective of the study is to obtain feedback from enterprises in client countries on the state of the private sector. The research is also used to build a panel of enterprise data that will make it possible to track changes in the business environment over time, thus allowing, for example, impact assessments of reforms. Through face-to-face interviews with firms in the manufacturing and services sectors, the survey assesses the constraints to private sector growth and creates statistically significant business environment indicators that are comparable across countries.

In Haiti, data from 149 establishments were taken from listings from three sources: UNOPS 2018, UNICEF 2018, and Haiti Business Database 2018. The survey topics include firm characteristics, infrastructure and services, sales and supplies, management practices, degree of competition, innovation, land and permits, crime, finance, mobile money, insurance, business-government relations, labor, business environment, performance, and post-interview information.

Geographic coverage
---------------------------

The entire sample is composed of four communes in Port-au-Prince Arrondissement:
- Port-au-Prince commune
- Delmas commune
- Peiton-Ville commune
- Tabarre commune

Because of safety concerns on the ground or during transit, the following communes in Port-au-Prince Arrondissement were excluded from the sample:
- Carrefour
- Cite Soleil
- Gressier
- Kenscoff

Analysis unit
---------------------------

The primary sampling unit of the study is the establishment. An establishment is a physical location where business is carried out and where industrial operations take place or services are provided. A firm may be composed of one or more establishments. For example, a brewery may have several bottling plants and several establishments for distribution. For the purposes of this survey an establishment must make its own financial decisions and have its own financial statements separate from those of the firm. An establishment must also have its own management and control over its payroll.

Universe
---------------------------

Following the standard methodological approach, the sample is comprised of businesses that employ 5 or more employees and have at least some private ownership. However, departing from the global methodology, some businesses in the professional and support services activities which are not part of the standard Universe of Inference of the ES were included in the Haiti survey.

Kind of data

Sample survey data[ssd]

Sampling procedure
---------------------------

Attempts were made to obtain quality sampling frames. However due to the lack of reliable data, the sample frame was limited to listings of firms from three sources: UNOPS 2018, UNICEF 2018, and Haiti Business Database 2018. In addition, corrections to the sampling frame were made as interviewers were in the field and new businesses were found.

The entire sample is composed of four communes in Port-au-Prince Arrondissement:
- Port-au-Prince commune - where fieldwork was determined depending on the day and level of violence on that particular day.
- Delmas commune - where fieldwork was determined depending on the day and level of violence on that particular day.
- Peiton-Ville commune - which is considered one of the wealthier communes; fieldwork was conducted during the mornings before protesters make their way there.
- Tabarre commune - which was comparatively safer when no protests were planned.

The sampling strategy from the onset began by mapping the locations of the firms in the sampling frame and determining the safety situation. As safety windows appeared, interviewers would go to areas and try to screen and conduct the interview in the business. A total of 149 firms were interviewed.

Mode of data collection
---------------------------

Face-to-Face[f2f]

Research instrument
---------------------------

Two questionnaires - Manufacturing amd Services were used to collect the survey data.

The Questionnaires have common questions (core module) and respectfully additional manufacturing- and services-specific questions. The eligible manufacturing industries have been surveyed using the Manufacturing questionnaire (includes the core module, plus manufacturing specific questions). Retail firms have been interviewed using the Services questionnaire (includes the core module plus retail specific questions) and the residual eligible services have been covered using the Services questionnaire (includes the core module).

摘要
---------------------------
本研究于2019年10月在海地开展，作为企业调查的一部分。研究旨在从客户国企业获取关于私营部门状况的反馈。该研究还用于构建企业数据面板，以便能够追踪商业环境随时间的变化，从而允许进行例如改革影响的评估。通过面对面访谈制造业和服务业企业，调查评估了私营部门增长的制约因素，并创建了具有统计显著性的、可跨国家比较的商业环境指标。
在海地，数据来自149家企业的2018年联合国开发计划署、联合国儿童基金会和海地商业数据库的列表。调查主题包括企业特征、基础设施和服务、销售和供应、管理实践、竞争程度、创新、土地和许可、犯罪、金融、移动货币、保险、商业与政府关系、劳动力、商业环境、绩效以及访谈后的信息。
地理覆盖范围
---------------------------
整个样本由太子港区四个市镇组成：
- 太子港市镇
- 德尔马斯市镇
- 皮埃顿-维莱市镇
- 塔巴雷市镇
由于现场或途中存在安全顾虑，太子港区以下市镇被排除在样本之外：
- 卡雷富市镇
- 塞特-索莱尔市镇
- 格雷西耶市镇
- 肯斯科夫市镇
分析单元
---------------------------
研究的主要抽样单元是单位。单位是指开展商业活动和工业运营或提供服务的地方。一个企业可能由一个或多个单位组成。例如，一家啤酒厂可能有多个灌装厂和多个分销单位。在本调查中，单位必须能够独立做出财务决策，并拥有与企业的财务报表分开的财务报表。单位还必须拥有自己的管理和对其工资单的控制权。
总体
---------------------------
按照标准方法论方法，样本由雇佣5人或更多员工并至少拥有部分私人所有权的企业组成。然而，偏离全球方法论，海地调查中包括了一些不属于ES标准推断总体的专业和支持服务活动企业。
数据类型

样本调查数据[ssd]
抽样程序
---------------------------
试图获取高质量的抽样框架。但由于缺乏可靠数据，抽样框架仅限于来自三个来源的企业列表：2018年联合国开发计划署、2018年联合国儿童基金会和2018年海地商业数据库。此外，在访谈员在野外时，对抽样框架进行了纠正，发现了新企业。
整个样本由太子港区的四个市镇组成：
- 太子港市镇 - 野外工作取决于当天的情况和暴力程度。
- 德尔马斯市镇 - 野外工作取决于当天的情况和暴力程度。
- 皮埃顿-维莱市镇 - 被视为较富裕的市镇；野外工作在抗议者前往之前进行。
- 塔巴雷市镇 - 与无抗议计划时相比相对安全。
抽样策略从一开始就是通过绘制抽样框架中企业的位置并确定安全状况。随着安全窗口的出现，访谈员会前往区域并尝试在商业场所进行筛选和访谈。共访谈了149家企业。

研究工具
---------------------------
使用两个问卷——制造业和服务业——收集调查数据。
问卷包含共同问题（核心模块）和分别的制造业和服务业特定问题。对合格的制造业行业使用制造业问卷（包括核心模块，以及制造业特定问题）。零售企业使用服务业问卷（包括核心模块加上零售特定问题）进行访谈，剩余合格的服务行业使用服务业问卷（包括核心模块）进行覆盖。
