Note: [1] Jacob Ryten is Assistant Chief Statistician of Canada, in charge of Business and Trade Statistics at Statistics Canada, Ottawa. Educated at the London School of Economics (1954–59), Mr. Ryten has worked in the statistical offices of both the OECD and the United Nations in addition to holding a variety of positions within Statistics Canada since 1969. In addition to his line responsibilities, Mr. Ryten is also in charge of an agency wide project to overhaul Canadian business surveys starting with a reorganization of the Canadian business register.
Abstract: Large and complex business units exert an influence on economic aggregates, entirely out of proportion to their numbers. Business registers, however, tend to treat all business in much the same fashion, irrespective of size. In order to record adequately the structure and scope of large business, special profiling procedures are required. These procedures suggest that business legal and operating organizations must be carefully maintained and up-dated. In Canada, this point was not fully appreciated until recently but current inquiries suggest that this may be at the root of data problems in business surveys. Moreover, as large and complex business are subject to more than one survey, their returns are often inconsistent, making integration of related data almost impossible. Indications are that to make data more amenable to integration within resource constraints, it may be necessary to split registers into two files one of which should be devoted to large and complex business.
