Business surveys provide a rapid means of compiling simple statistics with the results available before those of traditional statistical methods, and provide also information on areas not covered by quantitative statistics. Details provided by respondents are generally of very high quality since the questions related to subjects with which they are familiar, thus the past and future performance of their business is highly reliable. Similarly, consumers provide a very high quality information on their purchasing information and price trend. Source: DG ECFIN

商业调查是一种快速编制简易统计数据的有效手段，其成果发布早于传统统计方法的产出结果，同时还可覆盖定量统计未涉及的领域。受访对象提供的细节信息整体质量极高，因调研问题均围绕其熟悉的业务主题展开，因此其所披露的企业过往经营表现与未来展望数据可信度极强。与之类似，消费者所提供的自身采购信息与价格趋势相关内容，同样具备极高的质量水准。数据来源：DG ECFIN
