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.
