Studies on internationalisation using integrated micro-data: The MICRONOME database at Statistics Netherlands

The traditional statistical system of national statistical offices is set up along the historical division of political areas of interest and is limited to the description of national economie which makes it difficult to study the major effects of globalisation and internationalisation on national economies. Much of the required statistical information can be found in dispersed micro-data files of the national statistical offices. The MICRONOME database of Statistics Netherlands contains micro-data from different surveys and administrations, combined on the level of both enterprise and enterprise groups. In this paper the methodology of this database as well as the research on globalisation is described.
