An Evaluation of Company Performance Using the Fay-Herriot Model
Journal Title: Argumenta Oeconomica Cracoviensia - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 16
Abstract
Information about monthly characteristics of the small business sector is currently provided mainly by sample surveys conducted, among others, by the Central Statistical Office. Sample size enables parameters of interest to be estimated with acceptable precision only at the country or voivodeship level or by NACE section. The growing demand for reliable estimates at a low level of aggregation is the motivating force behind research into the application of indirect methods of estimation based on auxiliary sources of information. Hence, the article seeks to evaluate the possibility of applying the Fay-Herriot model to estimate one of the basic economic variables that characterise small business, i.e. revenue, based on information collected in administrative registers maintained by the Ministry of Finance.
