Abstract
The Integrated Business Establishment Survey was an establishment census conducted by the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) in 2014. IBES 2014 phase 1 collected data on 638 000 establishments in Ghana across all sectors.
Phase 2 was a roughly 5% stratified sample of the phase 1 firms undertaken in 2015 (GSS, 2017). Phase 2 contained many more questions to the firms sampled, for example their costs, revenues and assets.
GSS allowed DataFirst to release a 40% sample of the phase 2 data, through a project funded by the Project for Enterprise Development in Low Income Countries (PEDL). Thus the observations we have represent aronud 2% of the total census.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure
IBES 2014 consisted of two phases. Phase 1 was a census of non-household establishments with a fixed site and any household-based business with a sign indicating its presence within a household.
Phase 2 was a stratified roughly 5% sample of the phase I firms.
Response Rate
78% of the firms selected for re-interview in phase II were successfully interviewed.
Weighting
Design weights were provided by GSS with the phase II data. Non-response adjusted weights have been created by DataFirst.
The final weights in the data account for the fact that GSS only allowed a 40% sample of phase 2 to be released publicly.
