Doc: 06/2011
The Spanish NSI works in several alternatives in order to reduce the statistical burden in business surveys. One of them is the use of sampling coordination techniques to reducethe overlap between samples of different surveys.
The use of the same sampling frame for business surveys (the Central Business Register) has allowed to obtain coordinated samples using the Permanent Random Number (PRN)technique. A statistical burden function is defined and used to coordinate the samples obtained each year. .
