02/23/2022 - Redesign of enterprise births calculation

Starting with the release of the Informations Rapides outlining the results for January 2022, enterprise births have been calculated according to a revised scheme. This new method of calculation broadens the scope of companies taken into account, with the aim of better covering the scope of business statistics.

As of January 2020 for outdoor accomodations and for Other Short-Stay Accomodations (OSSA), missing data for non-sampled or non-responding accomodations are imputed according to a new method, using econometric models based on the characteristics of the accomodations.

In order to be able to calculate any evolution with newly calculated data, Insee has recalculated 2019 data. These backcast series are used in the Information Rapid publications from the 2019 first quarter.

To compare the 2019 data with previous years, INSEE retropolated the data on hotels over the period 2011 to 2018. These backcast series are used in the Information Rapid publications from the first quarter of 2019.
This new method of imputing non-response tends to slightly reduce the total number of overnight stays, but has no impact on quarterly trends.
