British Business Census of Entrepreneurs, 1851-1911

<p>The British Business Census of Entrepreneurs, 1851-1911 (BBCE) is a quality-controlled, consistent, and integrated database that is as complete as feasible for all British business proprietors in the period 1851-1911, and aligned to modern definitions used up to the 2011 census. It covers England and Wales for 1851-1911, and Scotland for 1851-1901. It includes as fully as possible all: <strong><em>Employers </em></strong>(those who employed others); <strong><em>Sole proprietor own account</em></strong> self-employed (those who employed no-one else); and <strong><em>Directors of corporations</em></strong> (Limited Companies). BBCE mainly derives from the <em>Integrated Census Microdata (I-CeM)</em> Project (see SN 7856), to which BBCE is linked via individual RecID; but BBCE also infills missing or truncated data in I-CeM using census transcripts from S&N and coding from CEBs, and also provides entrepreneur data for 1871. BBCE makes available employment status codes for all years 1851-1911, occupational coding to main occupation and portfolios, coding of partnerships and directors, and extracts workforce size where given by employers over 1851-81, and for farmers the acreage occupied. There is data linkage and coding of individuals identifiable in the census who were directors of corporations, together with information on their companies.</p> <p>Further information may be found on the <a title="BBCE" href="https://www.bbce.uk/">BBCE</a> project website.</p> <p>Publications, working papers and presentations are also regularly updated at the Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure <a title="Drivers of entrepreneurship and small business" href="https://www.campop.geog.cam.ac.uk/research/projects/driversofentrepreneurship/">Drivers of entrepreneurship and small business</a> project website.</p> <p>The original data producers and copyright holders of I-CeM are Professors K.

<p>1851-1911年英国企业家商业普查（British Business Census of Entrepreneurs, BBCE）是一套经过质量管控、标准统一且整合完备的数据库，尽可能完整收录了1851至1911年间所有英国商业所有者的相关信息，并贴合截至2011年英国人口普查采用的现代定义。该数据集覆盖1851-1911年的英格兰与威尔士，以及1851-1901年的苏格兰。其收录范围尽可能涵盖全部三类主体：**雇主（雇佣他人的经营者）**、**个体独资自雇经营者（未雇佣他人的自雇人士）**以及**企业董事（有限责任公司）**。BBCE主要源自整合人口微观数据（Integrated Census Microdata, I-CeM）项目（编号SN 7856），二者通过个体RecID进行关联；此外，BBCE还利用S&N的普查转录数据与CEBs的编码信息补全了I-CeM中缺失或不完整的数据，并补充了1871年的企业家相关数据。BBCE提供了1851-1911年所有年份的就业状态编码、职业编码（含主要职业与职业组合）、合伙关系与董事信息编码，还提取了1851-1881年间雇主填报的雇佣规模数据，以及农户占用的耕地面积信息。此外，数据集还对普查中可识别的企业董事个体进行了数据关联与编码，并附带其所属企业的相关信息。</p><p>更多相关信息可访问BBCE项目官网：<a href="https://www.bbce.uk/" title="BBCE">https://www.bbce.uk/</a>。</p><p>相关研究成果、工作论文与演示文稿会定期更新于剑桥人口与社会结构史研究小组的**企业家与小企业驱动因素**项目官网：<a href="https://www.campop.geog.cam.ac.uk/research/projects/driversofentrepreneurship/" title="Drivers of entrepreneurship and small business">https://www.campop.geog.cam.ac.uk/research/projects/driversofentrepreneurship/</a>。</p><p>整合人口微观数据（I-CeM）的原始数据生产者与版权持有者为K.
