Concepts
  • OUTPUT:  Output consists of the products created during the accounting period. Particular cases included are: a) the goods and services which one local kind-of-activity unit (KAU) provides to a different local KAU belonging to the same institutional unit; b) the goods which are produced by a local KAU and remain in inventories at the end of the period in which they are produced, whatever their subsequent use.
  • ENTERPRISE:  Legal entity (natural or legal person) that is an organisational unit producing goods or services, which benefits from a certain degree of autonomy in decision-making, especially for the allocation of its current resources. An enterprise carries out one or more activities at one or more locations.
  • REFERENCE PERIOD:  Period to which the information refers and which may be a specific day or a time interval (month, fiscal year, calendar year, among others).
Definition Difference between the share of negative evaluation responses ("decreased", "worsened somewhat", "very unfavourable", "probably not", etc.) and positive evaluation responses ("increased", "improved very much", "above average", "good", "yes, for sure", etc.). These calculations do not include the share of neutral responses ("perhaps", "the same", etc.) and "doesn't know".
