Various procedures were conducted for data controlling and high quality. To assure consistency, answers which were not logic were checked and corrected by follow up by contact to the responding enterprises if necessary. Furthermore, an imputation on core variables was applied, the variables specified by Eurostat. A weighting procedure on 60 cells was applied (20 NACE categories and 3 size groups) in such a way that the sample was representative for the universe..
Source data
CVTS2006, CVTS2011, CVTS2016 and CVTS 2020: Data is mainly collected by a common European questionnaire translated into Danish and sent to a sample of Danish private enterprises.
