An Analysis of New Zealand's Business Demography Database
Abstract
Given that a future linked employer-employee database may use Business Demography data as a backbone, what are the basic qualities of this dataset? What are the observed patterns in job creation and destruction in New Zealand? What are the general patterns in business growth in New Zealand? This analysis uses employer-based data from Statistics New Zealand’s Business Demography Statistics (BDS) database for the period 1994-2001.
