"Assessing Industry Codes on the IRS Business Master File."
Paul B. McMahon, Statistics of Income, IRS.
|
Abstract
|
An early process in the development of any business survey is the construction of a sampling frame, and a list of establishments is usually the preferred frame. The most favored sources for such a frame are records systems with lots of auxiliary information, which permit stratification, probability proportional to size sampling, calibration estimation, and other options. The Internal Revenue Service's Business Master File System is one such source. |
