What does this dataset measure?It measures the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on firms in Bolivia during 2020–2021, collecting economic, financial, and health information from a representative sample of companies. Who produced the survey?It was produced through a collaboration between the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) as part of their joint work on employment. Which firms does the survey focus on?It focuses on micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), while also covering medium-sized firms, in order to characterize them and measure the pandemic's impact. What time period does the data cover?The data cover the period 2020–2021. What kinds of information were collected?The survey collected economic, financial, and health information from the participating companies. What file formats and documentation are provided?The firm-level pseudo-panel is provided in CSV and Stata (.dta) formats, with a data dictionary (CSV) and a results file (XLSX). The questionnaires for medium-sized enterprises and for MSMEs are provided as PDFs. What is a pseudo-panel?A pseudo-panel is a dataset structure that allows analysts to track outcomes over time by grouping comparable units, supporting comparative analysis across the period covered even when the exact same firms are not followed individually. Who can use this dataset?Researchers, policymakers, labor-market analysts, journalists, and students can use it to characterize MSMEs in Bolivia, assess the pandemic's economic, financial, and health effects on firms, and study employment dynamics during the crisis.
