General and New Features of the 2003 SSBF Data Set

The data set for the 2003 Survey of Small Business Finances contains information on 4,240 small businesses that were in operation during December 2003 and at the time of the interview. The interview for most firms took place between June and December in 2004. The reference date for most questions is the date of the interview; the reference date for the income statement and balance sheet information is the date of the firm's most recent fiscal year-end and can range from July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2004 (see B2_1DAY & B2_1MO).

NOTE WELL: For the 2003 release, the SSBF data set includes 5 implicates. Each implicate includes 4,240 firms. In total, the entire data set contains 21,200 observations. NOTE: Even though there are five implicates, there are still only 4,240 firm observations. Across implicates, the values of all reported variables remain constant, but the values of imputed variables may differ. The implicates are provided to allow users to adjust the estimated standard errors and confidence intervals to account for the additional variance that imputation may cause (see [6] in Survey References on page 6). Also, see Section V below for some examples.

As was true in the 1993 and 1998 databases, each questionnaire variable includes a companion or shadow variable (an "xcode") that indicates whether and how the variable might have been imputed. In all cases, the shadow variable or xcode is named "x" followed with the original variable name. Please see section III for further discussion.

Before using the data base, users should at a minimum read the following sections of the codebook: Section I: Analysis Weights; Section III: Using the 2003 Public Data Base; Section IV: Combining Data on the Use of Financial Services; and Section V: Multiple Imputation Analysis.

It is highly recommended that users consult the survey questionnaire in conjunction with the codebook. There are many instances where the skip patterns will undoubtedly affect variable construction.

NOTE: There were relatively few data problems and missing data associated with the questions in this survey. Overall, less than two percent of data values were missing and required imputation.

Every attempt was made to retain original values unless there was considerable evidence available from sources other than the telephone interview that indicated a high probability of an incorrect response. Users should examine the data carefully. It is possible that there may be seemingly inconsistent responses within some cases.

Nearly all missing values have been imputed on the public dataset. Consequently, there are few missing values other than those designated by a ".S" (not in quotes). The code ".S" indicates a legitimate skip or an inapplicable question. Other missing values that occur in a very few instances include: ".D" = don't know; ".R" = refused; ".N"= not asked (because of some error); and "." = missing. (Note: missing values on the ASCII data sets are coded differently than the SAS data set. Please consult the ASCII instructions on the website.)

In order to consolidate information, some variables were moved to new variables. These new variables, as well as questionnaire variables, follow a naming convention. In general, the variable name starts with the letter of the questionnaire section from which the information originates. For example, the variable A_TOTEMP consolidates the information from A10_1 and A10_2. The A0-variables, I-variables, and T-flags are exceptions to this rule. The A0 variables are based on information from the D&B frame or geographic location of the firm. The information in the I-variables are a copy of the information from section H. All the I variables begin with an I followed by the originating section H variable name. For example, the variable H2 is moved to IH2. Please refer to the annotated survey questionnaire for cases where variables were moved. The T-flags are variables constructed during the interview to roster the financial services used and the sources of these services. See Section I below for more information.

OVERVIEW

This codebook is the principal guide to the variables included on the public version of the 2003 Survey of Small Business Finances (SSBF). Because of the complexity of skip-patterns in the survey questionnaire, and because question wording sometimes varied by firm characteristics, it is advisable that users reference the questionnaire while using this codebook and data. To facilitate this, all variables derived from the questionnaire and described in this codebook have references tying them to specific questions contained in the questionnaire.

The public version of the 2003 SSBF excludes information that could potentially identify any particular business, its owners, or the financial sources used by the business. In particular, names of firms and financial sources, specific geographic location and exact responses to open-ended questions are excluded from the public data set. Thus, the contents of the public-use version of the data base and the questionnaire (see [1]) differ.

The codebook's introduction briefly describes the survey methodology, including sample design, data collection procedures, survey content, and analysis weights. More detailed information on the survey methodology is found in one or more of the references listed below (see, e.g., [3]). In section II, data edits and imputations of missing values are discussed. Data base and coding conventions are described in section III. This section also describes how to use the shadow variables (xcodes) to identify which values have been imputed. Section IV describes how to combine information about the use of financial services with information about the sources of financial services used by the firm. In section V, we discuss how to use the five implicates provided in the data release file.

The remainder of the codebook includes a description of each variable in the public data base. An INDEX of the variables included on the public data base is attached to the end of the data dictionary.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This survey was funded by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. As with any project of this scope, many people contributed to the 2003 Survey of Small Business Finances (SSBF). John Wolken served as the Board's SSBF project director and principal investigator. Traci Mach served as an economist, and Courtney Carter and Lieu Hazelwood served as Financial Analysts on the SSBF staff. Able research assistance was provided by Katie Wilson and John Holmes.

Numerous persons reviewed the questionnaire and provided technical advice, including staff members from the Board of Governors, members from the Federal Reserve Banks, the U.S. Small Business Administration, and the National Opinion Research Center. Particularly noteworthy are contributions by Robin Prager, Myron Kwast, Robert Avery, and various members of the Federal Reserve Board's Financial Structure and Financial Studies Sections, Ken Cavalluzzo of Wisconsin Capital Management, Gregory Elliehausen of the Financial Services Research Program at the George Washington University School of Business, Greg Udell at Indiana University, Marianne Bitler of the Public Policy Institute of California, Amir Sasson of the Norwegian School of Management, and by Charles Ou of the U.S. Small Business Administration. Arthur Kennickell of the Board of Governors graciously provided advice and software used for the imputations of missing data.

Substantial contributions were made by numerous staff at the National Opinion Research Center (NORC), including interviewers, technicians, clerical staff, and statisticians. The project was led by Nancy Potok, the Project Director, Carol Emmons, the Associate Project Director, and Bill Sherman, Senior Survey Director. Robert Bailey was the Production Manager and was assisted by Mireya Dominguez, Assistant Production Manager, and Terri Kowalczyk, Telephone Supervisor. Rachel Harter coordinated and oversaw the work of the team of sampling statisticians including Janella Chapline and Michael Yang who were also responsible for computing the weights. Phil Panczuk was responsible for all aspects of computing for the project with the able assistance of Jake Bartolone and Valeri Cooke. Michael Pergamit provided corporate oversight in addition to advising on the design of the questionnaire. Charles Smith, a Certified Public Accountant from Smith and Associates, provided NORC with helpful technical guidance.

Finally, a special note of thanks is given to the interviewers who conducted the survey interviews and recorded the responses, and to the respondents who provided their time, experience, and data. Without their able assistance, this project would not have been possible.


SECTION I: SUMMARY


Target Population

The 2003 Survey of Small Business Finances provides information about a nationally representative sample of small businesses in the United States. The survey was conducted during 2004-2005 for the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The target population is the population of all for-profit, nonfinancial, nonfarm, nonsubsidiary business enterprises that had fewer than 500 employees and were in operation as of year-end 2003 and on the date of the interview. For the 2003 survey, employment was defined as the number of employees and owners working in the firm (whether or not the employees were full or part time or paid or unpaid). This is the same calculation used in the 1998 Survey. The sample was drawn from the Dun's Market Identifier file as of May 2004.1 The public use data set contains five "implicates" of 4,240 firms, for a total of 21,200 firm-implicate observations. Five separate implicates are included to help quantify the effects that imputed values have on estimates of standard errors (see Section V below). These firms represent 6.3 million small businesses. The public data base contains weights and stratification variables (see variables FIN_WGT and A0_STRATUM) which can help to estimate population statistics for the types of businesses included in the survey, as well as implicate number and a firm identifier.


Sample Design

The sample design was a stratified random sample, with over-sampling to ensure the ability to estimate separately the reporting domains by employment size groups. Prior to sampling, the DMI frame was divided into 72 strata based on the cross-classification of three stratification variables: total employment size, urban/rural status, and census division. There were four employment-size groups (0-19, 20-49, 50-99, 100-499), nine Census divisions (East North Central, East South Central, Middle Atlantic, Mountain, New England, Pacific, South Atlantic, West North Central and West South Central), and urban or rural location. Because larger firms are a small percentage of the population of small businesses but are of special interest to researchers, the survey over-sampled larger firms (20 to 499 employees) to ensure sufficient numbers for analysis of this group. For additional information on the sample weights, see Chapter 6 in [2] and the discussion of "Analysis Weights" in section I of this document.

The stratum from which an observation was drawn can be identified from the variable A0_STRATUM. A0_MSA, A0_CENSDIV and A0_SIZECLSS are stratification variables for the main strata, including rural/urban, census division, and employment size class.

(Note: Users that wish to classify firms into urban or rural location, census division, or firm size class should use the A0_RURAL, A0_DIVISION, and A_TOTEMP which have been recoded based on updated information. In a few instances, the frame data were not correct.)


Data Collection

The survey used a two-stage data collection process, a screener interview to verify firm eligibility followed by the main interview with eligible respondents. Not all businesses were eligible (i.e., met the target-population definition). Some businesses could not be contacted, some failed at least one of the eligibility criteria (e.g., not in business, not for profit, etc.), and some had erroneous frame data. The eligibility rate of sampled businesses was about 69 percent.

After the screening interview was completed, firms that met eligibility criteria were sent an advance worksheet to encourage the use of written records in responding to the subsequent computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI). The screener (see [2a]) and main interviews (see [1]) were conducted by the National Opinion Research Center (NORC). The firms were allowed a time interval of up to two weeks to complete the worksheet and collect their financial materials, such as tax forms. The hope was that this would improve data quality and shorten the interview time. The average duration of the telephone interviews was about 59 minutes. The survey was voluntary. `


Database Content

The survey collected the following types of information from each business:

-Demographic information on the owners and characteristics of the firm, such as the primary industry in which it was engaged, age, and type of organization (sections A, B, C, and D of the questionnaire).

-Data on which materials were used by the respondents to complete the questionnaire (section N in the questionnaire).

- An inventory of the firm's deposit and savings accounts (section E of the questionnaire), capital leases, credit lines, mortgages, motor vehicle loans, equipment loans, and other loans (section F of the questionnaire), and selected other financial services (section G of the questionnaire). For each of these services, the supplier of the service was also identified and assigned to one of the various financial service flags (referred to as T-flags because each variable name begins with a T).

- Experience in the past three years in applying for credit (section MRL of the questionnaire), including the source. Financial service flags (TMRA and TMRD) identify the supplier for the denied and for the approved application supplier.

-Information on the use of business and personal credit cards, including data on the rate of interest charged on credit cards.

-Information about the characteristics of the financial service suppliers: type (e.g., bank, individual), location vis-a-vis the firm, method of conducting business, number of years the firm has done business with the supplier, and reasons for choosing the source (section H of the questionnaire and sections H and I of the codebook).

-Experience with trade credit or equity injections (sections L and M in the questionnaire).

-Information on the firm's income statement and balance sheet (sections P, R, and S of the questionnaire).

-Information on the recent credit history of the firm and its owners (section U of the questionnaire), as well as some information on home-ownership and net worth of the principal owner of the firm.

-Additional variables are made available to facilitate research. Stratification variables (A0_CENSDIV, A0_STRATUM, A0_SIZECLSS and A0_MSA), survey weights (FIN_WGT), and implicate identifier (A0_IMPLICAT) are provided to help calculate standard errors. Also included are variables describing location corrected for frame errors (e.g., A0_RURAL and A0_DIVISION), three part deposit Herfindal indices of bank and thrift deposits for the Metropolitan Statistical Area or rural county of the headquarters location of the firm (A0_HHI0, A0_HHI50, and A0_HHI100), interview date and time, the most important problem facing the firm (A0_FIRMPROB), the D&B credit score (A0_DB_CREDRK), and other firm or geographic information not collected at the time of the interview. On the public data set, these variables (other than FIN_WGT) are provided as categorical due to concerns regarding data confidentiality, and generally are identified by the `A0' variable name prefix.


Reference Period

The reference period for most questions is the date of the interview. The majority of interviews were completed between June and December, 2004. The reference period for the income statement and balance sheet is the firm's fiscal-year end. Firms whose fiscal year ended between January 1 and June 30 reported for the fiscal year ending 2004. Firms whose fiscal year ended between July 1 and December 31 reported for the fiscal year ending 2003.


Naming Conventions

Most variables' names have a letter prefix indicating the section of the questionnaire from which they were obtained or derived. Exceptions are variables prefixed with A1_, A0_, C_, CF_, T, I, or X. Variables preceded by A0_ are public use variables that were derived either from preloaded information - available from the frame - or from other sources (e.g., the most important problem variable A0_FIRMPROB was obtained from the screener, sampling strata information from the frame, etc.). An A1_ prefix is similar to A0_, but indicates information not publicly available. The prefix C_ indicates the question was derived from section C and pertains to an individual owner. The prefix CF_ indicates the variable was derived from section C and pertains to the firm. Variables beginning with I are financial sources' characteristics derived from section H and other sources, whereas variables beginning with T (T-flags) identify the institutions used for specific services. An X prefix signifies an "xcode" which is used to determine imputation status.


Analysis Weights

The SSBF does not use an equal-probability sample design. Thus, the weights and complex sample design play a critical role in interpreting the survey data. When using the survey data to construct population estimates (such as means or frequencies), the estimates should be constructed using weighted statistics that account for the stratification. Unweighted sample means and frequencies will give unbiased estimates of

the sample, but biased estimates of the population. This is especially true for variables that are likely to be closely related to firm size.

The weights included with this data set account for the sample design, eligibility and nonresponse. A detailed discussion is provided in Chapter 6 of [2]. Design weights were assigned by sampling stratum, reflecting the original sample design. After the screening interview was completed, weights were adjusted to account for eligibility and nonresponse to the screener. Eligibility adjustments were made by ratio adjusting the weights for the eligible firms to the total number of selected firms with categories determined

by the original frame data. Nonresponse adjustments were applied using a stratified propensity scoring model that held employment size groups constant (see Chapter 6 [2] for more details).

Even though eligibility was determined in the screener, a few firms were identified as ineligible (not meeting target population definition) during the main interview. Generally, the firms determined to be ineligible on the main interview were firms whose owners had not been interviewed in the screening interview (a proxy was interviewed), or whose situation had changed from what it was when the screener was initially conducted. In addition, not all firms who completed the screener completed the main interview. Weighting and adjustments for ineligibility and nonresponse at the main survey were made comparable to what was done at the screener.

The sum of the weights for the 4,240 firms completing survey is about 6.3 million, indicating that the current sample is representative of approximately 6.3 million firms that met the target population definition and were listed on the Dun's Market Identifier File in May 2004. For the sample as a whole, the weights averaged 1485. For firms with less than 20 employees, the weights averaged 2034. For firms with 20-49 employees, the weights averaged 666. The weights averaged 240 for firms with 50-99 employees and 155 for firms with 100-499 employees.


Caution: Influential Case Review

Although the weights are constructed so that weighted sums produce unbiased estimates of broad aggregates (for example total employment by nonfarm, nonfinancial, for-profit small businesses), it is important to remember that many of the variables collected in the sample have data that have highly skewed distributions. Moreover, many of the variables apply to only a portion of the sample. For internal analysis of the data, Board staff routinely review calculations for the presence of overly-influential outliers, and apply robust techniques of analysis to estimate the variance of these statistics where appropriate.

Staff carefully examined individual observations for the presence of overly-influential outliers in the sample as a whole. However, the presence of overly-influential outliers has NOT been examined in every domain that may be of interest to users of this data base.

The strategy used to investigate influential cases included the following steps. First, weighted totals for overall estimates (such as assets, liabilities, sales, loans, and other dollar amounts) were computed. Second, the contribution of each firm to the total was computed. Third, any firm that accounted for more than five percent of the weighted aggregate total was reviewed.

There were few instances in the sample where the five percent rule was violated. For these cases, returned worksheets and tax forms, information collected on re-contacts, margin notes, and open-ended and other

specify responses were all reviewed. In a few cases, this review led to a change in the specific value. Unless there was additional information to justify changing a reported value, the value was left unchanged. Hence, some values remain on the database that exceed the five percent rule. Variables for which one or two values will violate this rule include CF_OWNERS, F23_(1-3), F35_(1-3), F36_(1-3), F52_(1-3), F53_(1-3), F57_(1-3), M2, M5, P4, P12, R3, R4, R5, R6, R9, S3, S5, , and U8.


Completeness Criteria

There were three criteria that an individual interview had to satisfy in order to be considered complete. Overall, item response had to be at least 75 percent of questions asked of the respondent. In other words, no more than 25 percent of the responses could be missing (don't know or refused). Second, at least 75 percent of the items in sections P, R, and S that were asked of the respondent had to be answered with a non-missing response. In these sections, each question first asked the actual dollar amount, or if still missing then for an estimate of the amount, and if still missing, a range. For completion, estimates were treated as valid responses, but ranges in sections P, R, and S were treated as missing. The third criterion required that 8 of the 10 or 11 entrance questions to section E, section F, and section MRL be non-missing.2 (An example of an entrance question is E1: Does the firm have any checking accounts or share draft accounts?)

Several borderline cases (200) were very close to meeting these criteria and were reviewed by NORC and FRB staff. Of this number, 76 were ultimately accepted as complete interviews. The overall weighted unit response rate was about 32 percent. On average, only 1.8% of items asked were missing and the median firm had less than 0.5% missing items.


SECTION II: EDITS AND IMPUTATIONS


Data Edits: Overview

The data collected in the interviews were edited to incorporate additional information provided in the way of interviewer notes, hard-copy worksheets and tax forms when returned, follow-up calls to respondents when questions were inadvertently skipped in the interview as occurred in a few instances, and information contained in open-ended and other specify responses that sometimes informed answers to questions other than the open-ended question or other specify response. In a few instances, when there was sufficient information, responses that were inconsistent were changed. However, unless there was overwhelming information to change such a response, inconsistencies were not edited out of the data base. All open-ended and other specify answers were encoded into categorical frames. The categories for specific questions are listed in the codebook and in the survey questionnaire. There are no open-ended text responses on the public data base.

For questions concerning "reasons for using institutions," the encoded responses permitted up to three separate reasons (H3R1_(1-8), H3R2_(1-8), H3R3_(1-8), IH3R1_1-IH3R1_20, IH3R2_1-IH3R2_20 and IH3R3_1-IH3R3_20, L14R1-L14R3, MRL29R1-MRL29R3, MRL30R1-MRL30R3, and MRL31R1-MRL31R3). The first reason was imputed whenever responses to this question were don't know or refused. All subsequent reasons were set to validly missing (.S). Finally, all reported geographic information (firm location, financial institution location) were checked for internal consistency among city, state, and zip codes.


Data Edits

Edits to the data performed by NORC were limited to verification of the completeness of interviews, verification that specified response ranges and cross-item restrictions were satisfied, correction of interviewer errors, resolution of unusual situations that the Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) system was unable to handle, back-coding of the firm's industry code (SIC), the firm's most important problem, and race for the other specify responses. NORC did not attempt to resolve inconsistencies between the financial service inventory and the balance sheet, nor did it correct errors in the balance sheet or income statements.

Edits to ensure internal consistency of the data set and imputation of values for missing data were performed by the Federal Reserve project staff. The data were examined for consistency between dollar amounts in the balance sheet, income statement, and other sections of the questionnaire (e.g., the deposit and loan account sections); however, there are still some unresolved discrepancies between the loan sections (section F) and balance sheet loan totals. Note that Sections E, F, and G had a different reference date than the balance sheet information; some differences should be expected. Only if additional information was provided, such as worksheets or tax forms, were the initial responses in the balance sheet section altered. Other consistency checks included the following: ensuring consistency between source name, type, and location; verification that skip patterns were followed correctly in the questionnaire; and identification of discrepancies in balance sheet and income statement identities. In the balance sheet and income statements, inconsistencies were kept to a minimum by virtue of the method of data collection. Firms were only asked to report balance sheet totals and profit if they did not supply all of the detail. Total profit, assets, liabilities, and equity were filled in on the final data set so that they satisfy the accounting identities.

Additionally, approximately 1320 firms sent in hard-copy records (tax forms, filled-out worksheets, accounting statements, etc.) to assist in verification. (See below for additional detail on the balance sheet edits and imputation.)

Any firm replying that the Dun & Bradstreet reported SIC code was not the firm's principal activity was asked to give an open-ended response describing what it did. NORC encoded 1572 verbatim responses into the appropriate SIC codes. Of these, 667 were encoded to their original values. NORC's codings were reviewed and corrected by project staff (A0_SIC2_FIN).

There were relatively few data problems and missing data associated with the questions in this survey. Every attempt was made to retain original values unless there was considerable evidence available from other responses to indicate a high probability of an incorrect response. Consequently, there may be apparent inconsistencies in some of the reported data. Users should examine the data carefully.

All geographic information reported was verified against USPS city-state-zip code data as of April 2004 (near June when data collection began). Urban/rural status, metropolitan code, and county were derived from the firm's address.


Imputation

As is true of all surveys, there is some amount of missing data for nearly every SSBF question. An attempt has been made to impute most missing values. About 1.8% of all values collected were missing. Thirty percent of the observations had no missing values; 65 percent of all observations had less than one percent of the values missing, and 79 percent of the observations had less than 3 percent missing.

The general model used to perform imputations in the SSBF is a randomized regression model. The methodology employed is similar to that used in the Survey of Consumer Finances [3]. The data set contains a set of "xcode" variables, or shadow variables (described in section III under "xcodes"), which can be used to identify the values that have been imputed.

The imputation proceeded as follows. First, a variable was modeled as a function of other survey variables, and a variance-covariance matrix was calculated for all variables included in this imputation specification. Each element of this matrix was estimated using all available pair-wise observations for which there were reported data, even when the numbers of pair-wise observations differed from cell to cell of the variance-covariance matrix. In this way, all available and relevant survey information was utilized in each variance-covariance calculation. For most imputations, a "kitchen sink" was used along with other pertinent variables to construct the variance-covariance matrix. The kitchen sink included the following: most of the demographic information from sections A-C; number of locations information from section D; all of the entrance questions for section E, F, G, MRL, and L; the inside equity injections question from section M; indicators for the personal credit history of the primary owner; whether the MRL loan(s) were accepted and/or denied; one digit SIC code groupings for the firm; the Census division in which the firm headquarters was located; whether or not the firm was in an urban area; and some balance sheet and income statement information.

Once the variance-covariance matrix had been estimated, its elements were used to calculate regression parameters tailored to the data available for each observation with a missing value. A unique regression equation was calculated for each observation with a missing value, depending on the data available for that observation. An observation with fewer missing independent variables used a greater number of explanatory variables than a similar observation missing a larger number of independent variables. Hence, the number of independent variables included in an imputation generally differed from one observation to

the next because patterns of missing data varied across observations. From the predicted equation for each observation's missing value, an estimated regression variance is calculated, which, in turn, was used to generate a random component to add to the predicted value.

Multiple-categorical response questions (e.g., check all responses that apply) were converted to a series of yes-no responses, and then each of these yes-no responses was estimated using a randomized linear-probability model (i.e., randomized regression where the dependent variable takes on one of two values).

Not all variables lend themselves to estimation by regression. In particular, questions that evoked single discrete categorical responses (e.g., Where does the business primarily sell or deliver its products or services, variable D3) to a multiple (more than 2) category question are typically imputed using a randomized hot-deck procedure. In some instances, however, the multiple-categorical questions were imputed with a series of dichotomous linear regression models (e.g., institution type, IH2_1-IH2_20).

In order to achieve certain convergence properties, the imputation process was iterated three times. The first iteration created a fully imputed data set. In iteration two, the fully completed data set from iteration one was used as the input data set to create three new implicates. For the third (and final) iteration, the three implicates from iteration two were stacked and used as the input data to create five final implicates.

For the first round of imputation, the raw data were used to calculate the variance-covariance matrices used in estimation. If explanatory variables were missing, those observations were excluded from the variance-covariance calculation. For questions following an entrance question or major branching question, fully imputed values of the entrance questions were used to determine whether or not a given follow-up question needed to be imputed. However, raw data were still used to calculate the variance-covariance matrices for these follow-up imputations.

For the second iteration, the fully imputed data set from the first round of imputation was used to calculate the variance-covariance matrix for each imputation. This ensured that the pattern of missingness was not overly influential in calculating the imputed values. The third iteration used the combined variance-covariance matrices constructed by pooling all three implicates from the second round of the imputation to create five final implicates. The final data set includes the five implicates derived in the third imputation iteration.

A NOTE ON THE IMPLICATES: In past SSBF data releases, while a single fully imputed data set was released, the data were imputed in the same way as the 2003 survey. In the 2003 SSBF, the data release contains five implicates (see Section V below). Each implicate (identified in the data as A0_IMPLICAT) is fully imputed and contains 4,240 observations. Across implicates, all reported values (for a given firm) are identical, whereas imputed values may differ. In fact, it is this difference in imputation values that allows users to combine estimates from the separate implicates to calculate standard errors that are appropriately adjusted to include the variation from the random portion of the imputed value (see [6]).

For all imputations, size group, organizational form specific group, or data set-wide bounds were imposed on the continuous variables. When soft edits or hard edits were imposed in the interview (see questionnaire), these bounds were imposed. Values outside the bounds in the questionnaire are the result of specific comments by respondents. If respondents offered information in a comment after a `don't know,' `refusal,' or `exception,' which could be used to infer a range limitation, this information was used in the imputations, as was bounding information from the ranges or other size comparisons. Generally, dollar amounts and numbers were given bounds at the 99th (1^{st}) percentile in the data if there was no range information, no hard coded bound in the data and no logical upper (lower) bound. Additionally, some continuous value questions obtained ranges if the initial response was missing. These ranges were imposed in the imputation whenever available.

Below, we provide additional details on data edits and imputations performed in different sections of the questionnaire.


Firm and Owner Characteristics (Sections A, B, C, and D)

Sections A, B, C, and D contain information on firm and owner characteristics. Section A validates the screening questions for some firms and provides information on employment. For the first time, the survey includes some information on alternative work arrangements in this section. Section B includes information on the organizational form and industry, and section D includes questions about branches, area of operation and computer use.

Section C contains information on characteristics of owners and certain firm characteristics. Information on the owners of the firm was collected differently for the 2003 survey than it had been previously. In the past, characteristics of owners were collected only for the owner with the largest share, and respondents were asked whether a majority of firm owners were Hispanic, minority, or female. The 2003 survey followed the lead taken by the U.S. Census Bureau in its 2002 Survey of Business Owners, and collected individual demographic information on up to three owners.3 Respondents were asked to report on the individual with the largest ownership share first; if that individual did not have a controlling interest in the company (an ownership share of at least 51 percent), information was also collected on all remaining owners up to a maximum of two additional individuals.

Since the wording of the questions about firm owners and characteristics differed somewhat by organizational type, Section C of the questionnaire is originally divided up into three major subsections: proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations. Each firm goes through only one of the subsections and within that subsection, data on up to three owners is collected. To facilitate ease of use, the three major sections of three loops each (one for each owner) were collapsed during editing into one major section with three loops. For example, the question "How old are you?" is asked of proprietorships at C6_1, and C6_2; of partnerships at C16_1, C16_2, and C16_3; and of corporations at C26_1, C26_2, and C26_3. These variables have been remapped into C_AGE_1, C_AGE_2 and C_AGE_3, respectively.

Generally, variables prefixed with C_ are at the individual owner level, whereas variables prefixed with CF_ are at the firm level. In addition to the remapping of the three major sections into one common set of variables, some firm-level variables have also been created that aggregate the information from individual owners into a firm-level variable. Please refer to Appendix E for a list of the firm-level variables available

for analysis, and see examples in section "Firm Level Characteristics: Race, Gender, Ethnicity, Owner Age, Education, and Experience Variables" below.

The data collected on firm and owner characteristics were reported with few errors and few missing values. Minimal editing was required for these questions and less than 0.7 percent of items were imputed.


Financial Services Inventory (Sections E, F, G)

Sections E, F, and G collected an inventory of loans, deposits, and other financial services used by each firm. There were few missing values in these sections, although the number of missing values is greater for questions concerning dollar amounts than for other types of questions. Data in these sections (especially the dollar amounts) were edited for reasonableness, using data from this survey as well as information obtained from other sources.

Note that the information collected varies across financial services. For example, for checking and savings, only the account balances were collected. For capital leases, the number of leases and outstanding balance were collected. For lines of credit, the number, amount of line, amount outstanding, whether or not guarantees and/or collateral were required, type of collateral used, and compensating balances were collected. For financial management services (section G), only the source identification was collected. Information available for different services is described in Appendix C.

New in this survey are specific questions about the use of credit and debit card processing services (Section G). In previous surveys, information on credit card processing was collected in conjunction with information on transactions services. In 2003, credit card processing services were taken out of transactions services, but included in question G9 which asks about the use of credit card-, signature debit card- and pin debit card-processing. For more information on comparability of results across surveys, see ([8]).

Many of the questions in these sections were asked up to three times in order to identify multiple sources of financial services. For example, a firm obtaining checking accounts from three different sources would be asked a series of questions about the accounts at each source. If there were more than three sources, the information reported in the third loop would be that for all remaining sources combined. (Only 111 firms reported a checking, savings, or loan service with more than three suppliers.) When imputing missing values for these repeating questions, each financial service-source pair - including third loop cases with multiple institutions - was treated as an individual observation. Whenever multiple accounts within a single loop were possible, the average account size was imputed rather than the total account, and the product of the number of accounts and the average loan size reported in the final data. Savings balances, loan balances (except for the outstanding amounts for lines of credit) and the amount of the line of credit commitment were required to be positive. Checking accounts were allowed to have negative balances. Line of credit balances outstanding were allowed to be zero.

The imputation model specifications for variables in sections E and F include income statement and balance sheet data, the credit score of the firm, firm and source characteristics, and product characteristics. Entrance

questions ("Do you have .....") were seldom missing and in the few cases where they were missing (44 instances out of more than 12,000 firm-institution pairs), they were set to "no."


Most Recent Loans Characteristics (Section MRL)

Imputations in section MRL used the reported information there as well as information from the financial services inventory in sections E, F and G, balance sheet information, demographic information, the credit score of the firm, source information, and the prime rate at the time the loan was applied for (from the Federal Reserve Board). The prime rate at the time of the loan application was used for imputations of interest rates. Most firms who had a loan accepted applied for the same amount of loan as was approved, thus the imputations for the amount applied for and amount approved first imputed whether these amounts were the same, and then imputed an amount for the missing one(s) if they were different. Similarly, the amount of fees (MRL22) was treated as an upper bound for the implied dollar cost of points to close the loan (MRL21) and MRL21 was a lower bound for the implied interest rate from MRL22. Discrepancies from these "rules" are the result of specific responses from respondents.


Institution Characteristics (Section H of questionnaire and constructed I variables)

In sections E, F, G, and MRL the identities of the sources of financial services used by the firm (E, F and G) and the most recent loan institution(s) were collected. As firms were asked about a service (e.g., checking), they were asked to identify ALL sources of this service. When information was asked about the next service (e.g., savings), firms were asked to identify which of any of the sources mentioned earlier provided that service, and then asked to identify any additional sources not mentioned earlier. This information is stored in a "roster" or matrix of 16 services by up to 20 institutions. These financial service flags, or "T" flags, allow users to identify all (up to 20) sources used for each service.

The identities of as many as 20 sources were collected for each firm. (There was only one firm that reported as many as 20 institutions.) Once this list of sources used by the firm was constructed, information on location, method of conducting business, institution type, length of relationship and reasons for using the source was collected for up to eight sources in Section H of the questionnaire. If the firm obtained financial services from more than one source, the firm was asked to identify its primary source (see variable H1). If the firm had a recent loan application (Section MRL), information on the institution that approved and/or denied the application(s) was then collected. If the firm indicated more than five additional sources, an algorithm was used to select the next five sources for which detailed information was collected (See Appendix A).

The zip code of the most frequently used branch or office of each institution (up to eight) used by the firm was collected in Section H. In addition, if the institution was identified as a depository or "other" type of institution (H2_(1-8)), the survey attempted to obtain more precise location information with an automated institution matching utility. The institution name obtained from the respondent was used to match the institution to a file containing all branches of commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations and credit unions. The external file contained location information on the specific branches

and facilitated the calculation of distances between the headquarters office of the firm and the branch used most frequently. Depository institutions accounted for about 57 percent of all sources and of those,

approximately 95 percent were matched to the main institution and 83 percent were matched to the exact branch location. If a match was not found, the respondent was asked to provide the street address.

For ease of use, the information in section H was converted into "I-variables." The I-variables follow the format of the T-flags in that each variable is represented up to 20 times, one for each possible institution. The information in section H (e.g., H2_(1-8)) is copied into I-variables (e.g., IH2_1-IH2_20). These I-type variables, in conjunction with the T-flags can be used to identify which institutions supplied which services, and the characteristics of that institution. Additional documentation and examples are given below in section IV.

Imputations were conducted for all institutions, not just the up-to-eight sources asked about in section H. There were only 275 institutions in the raw data, out of a total of about 12,000, which did not go through section H.

Imputations for section H and I variables used an approach similar to the imputations for section E, and F variables. That is, each firm-institution pair was considered a separate observation for purposes of imputation. First, institution type was imputed. After editing, only 31 instances of institution type were imputed (out of more than 12,000 possible firm-institution pairs). When institution type was determined, the remaining variables --distance (H7_(1-8) copied to IH7_1-IH7_20), method (H8_(1-8) copied to IH8_1-IH8_20), and length of relationship (H4_(1-8) copied to IH4_1-IH4_20) were imputed for all sources, including those sources that did not go through section H. The open-ended questions about the

reason for using an institution (questions H3_(1-8)) were first encoded into up to three separate reasons (H3R1_(1-8), H3R2_(1-8) and H3R3_(1-8), and then the encoded reasons were mapped to IH3R1_1-IH3R1_20, IH3R2_1-IH3R2_20, and IH3R3_1-IH3R3_20). Most responses coded into a single reason. If the open-ended question was missing or if the institution did not go through section H, one reason was imputed (IH3R1-1-IH3R1_20)and the remaining two set to .S.


Institution type:

Extensive edits were conducted on these responses to ensure that respondents correctly identified source type. Because respondents often were unsure of the difference between a savings bank, savings and loan, and commercial bank, and because there a few cases where respondents answered 'other specify' but in the text field had indicated 'bank' or 'finance company', institution-type responses were edited for consistency with the financial institution names reported in Sections E, F, G, and MRL. Institution type was checked against every respondent supplied source name. Depository institutions were further checked against internal Federal Reserve Board files which provide institution type. These edits, in conjunction with the institution matching routines used during the interview, identified almost all of the 'other specify' institution types and corrected many misclassified institution types. Institutions were matched using the geographic information (city, state and zip code of the institution as well as the name, and whether or not the institution was in the same city). All the geographic information reported was verified to be consistent with USPS reported city, state, and zip information. In cases where only city and state or zip and state were available, matches with the Summary of Deposits (SOD) data were allowed if the names of the institutions

matched and if there was a branch of that institution in the correct city and state (or zip and state). In some cases (institution type and name missing, name not sufficiently detailed to permit classification, or institution imputed), institution type had to be imputed. These imputations used a combination of linear regression and randomized hot-deck procedure.


Distance:

If the institution zip code was not provided, firms were asked if the branch or office of the institution used most frequently by the firm was located in the same metropolitan area or county as the firm headquarters. If the institution was located in the same county or metropolitan area of the firm (as determined by the reported zip code or the response to the above-mentioned questions), the owner was asked to estimate the number of miles between the firm and the institution. When the institution was located in a different county or metropolitan area than the firm, the distance question was not asked. Instead, the distance was calculated from the firm's and institution's zip code centroids. The latitude and longitude of the zip code centroids were used to triangulate the implied line-of-sight distance between the firm and the institution. For institutions without zip codes, the centroid of the finest level of geography available (city, then town, then Census designated places, etc.) was used to calculate distance. For a very few firms that reported institutions in other countries, the centroid of the city the foreign bank was located in was used to calculate distance. (See IGEOTYPE_(1-20) for more information on the level of specificity of geography information of the institution that was used to calculate the distance.)


Trade Credit (Section L)

Section L of the questionnaire concerns trade credit. No source specific information was collected for trade credit; instead the questions are about overall use of trade credit as well as about the most important supplier. There were few missing values in this section, and although all missing values have been imputed, for some of the imputations there were very few observations on which to base the imputations.


Capital Injections (Section M)

Section M of the questionnaire consists of a series of questions regarding recent capital injections. This section was included primarily to determine the prevalence of capital injections among smaller businesses. Questions M1, M2, and M3 were asked of proprietorships and partnerships. Questions M4 through M8 were asked of corporations. Few firms reported attempting to raise equity in 2003. Consequently, the subsequent questions were answered by only a few firms. There were few missing values in this section. All missing values in this section have been imputed. However, because most firms did not attempt to raise outside capital, some of the imputations are calculated on very few observations.


Financial (Balance Sheet and Income) Statements (Sections P, R, and S)

The survey collected information on the firm's financial (balance sheet and income) statements in sections P, R, and S of the questionnaire. What differentiates these sections of the survey from other sections are the accounting identities which apply to financial data. Three identities apply to the balance sheet data. First, the equity must equal total assets minus total liabilities. Second, total assets must equal the sum of the asset detail. Third, total liabilities must equal the sum of the liability detail. Similarly, on the income statement, profit must equal to sales plus other income minus total expenses.

These identities and restrictions present formidable problems when surveying small businesses because many small business owners are not familiar with financial statements. Indeed, this is one of the reasons that the balance sheet information is tied to the tax information most firms are required to file each year. However, even tax records do not include balance sheet information for proprietorships. These difficulties were exacerbated by the fact that some respondents were providing these data without benefit of financial records. (To determine which financial records were used by the firm during the interview, see the variables N1T1-N1T6).

In the 2003 survey (as in the 1998 survey), to avoid inconsistencies in total versus sum of detail, respondents were asked a total (e.g., assets, liabilities, equity, or profit) only if they failed to report the detail completely. Complete reporting of the detail means that a dollar amount was given for each of the detail elements involved in a sum. For example, in the case of R12, total assets, respondents were asked to report R12 only if one or more of the variables R1-R7 and R9 were answered as don't know, refusal, or as a range. In the instances where all the asset elements had valid values, totals were calculated from the detail.

In addition to the survey questions, many firms (1324) sent in worksheets which included information on the firm's balance sheet and income statement. The worksheet information was useful in resolving discrepancies, and filling in missing values.

In many instances, only one of the detail elements was missing. For these cases, when one element of the detail was missing and the total reported, the missing element was calculated as the difference between the reported total and the sum of the reported detail. About 2.4% of all section P, R, and S items required imputation, compared to 1.8% of all questionnaire items. Roughly 175 firms required one or more asset item to be imputed, about 200 required an income statement item imputation, and about 80 firms required some imputation for one or more liabilities. In roughly 75 percent of instances with missing values in these sections, range information provided by the respondent was used to inform the imputation.


Balance sheet (sections R and S):

After editing, remaining missing balance sheet data were imputed using a generalized regression model. The overall strategy was to build the balance sheet from the bottom up. Each of the missing detail elements was first calculated, subject to range bounds, or bounds constructed from the total variable. Once all missing elements had been calculated, the totals were constructed from the sum of the detail (or in the case of profit from the sum of sales and other income minus total costs).

The balance sheet elements often have large mass points at zero. For this reason, a model was first run to determine if the balance sheet amount was positive. If positive, another model was run to determine the amount, subject to bounds based on reported ranges if they existed. The models included a broad set of variables describing firm and owner characteristics; several variables reflecting size, including assets, liabilities, sales, and total employment; number of financial sources; number of financial services used; information from sections E and F on the size of checking and loan accounts; and geographic information such as region and rural or urban location.

One note of caution regarding the balance sheet values. The information on total loans (S1) is often different than the amount of loans outstanding obtained by adding up the values from section F of the question. One possible reason for this possible inconsistency has to do with reference periods. The balance sheet information was collected as of the last date of the firm's fiscal year. Firms whose fiscal year ended between January 1 and June 30 reported for the fiscal year ending 2004. Firms whose fiscal year ended between July 1 and December 31 reported for the fiscal year ending 2003. Other interview data were as of the date of the interview. Most interviews took place between July and December 2004. Consequently, for a firm whose fiscal year ended July 31, 2003 but was not interviewed until December, 2004, as much as 18 months separate reference dates for the balance sheet data and for other survey data (e.g., loans outstanding in section F of the questionnaire).


Income statement (section P):

All dollar amounts in the income and expense questions reflect full year equivalents. If the question P1 (full year vs. partial year accounting) was answered yes, then the data contains the original amount. If the question P1 was answered no, the number of days the income statement covered was calculated and all amounts reported for P2, P4, P5, P5_4, P5_5, P12 and PROFIT are inflated to full-year equivalents. This makes a stark assumption about the pattern of sales having no seasonal component; however, there is little or no information available to calculate seasonality reliably.4

For income and expense questions, the primary size measure used in the editing and imputation of missing data was sales (P2). There were no entrance questions for the income and expense items of section P, however, many respondents reported zero for these items. To impute the missing values for these questions, we had to account for the large mass point at zero. We did this by creating pseudo entrance questions (coding these questions as YES if the response was nonzero and NO if zero) and, after imputing these entrance questions, we imputed the dollar amount where the entrance imputed to YES. Most of these dollar amount imputations were done in log form after the pseudo entrance questions. Some negative dollar amounts were allowed if the respondent commented that this was valid. When there was information available about the relative size of sales this year vs. last year, it was used in the imputations of P2. Once the detail of the income statement had been fully imputed, PROFIT was calculated from the sum of sales (P2) and other income (P4), less costs (P5).


SECTION III: USING THE 2003 SSBF PUBLIC DATA BASE

This section discusses the data base dictionary, codebook conventions, xcodes (used to identify which values are imputed), repeating variables, and data base conventions. The section also describes how the characteristics of individual owners were aggregated to firm level variables and how these constructed variables can be used to define firm-level characteristics such as minority- or female-owned. Information on how to identify and associate specific institutions with the information on financial services collected in sections E, F, G, and MRL by using the auxiliary T-flag and I-variables is discussed below in Section IV.


Data Dictionary Entries

The data base dictionary (see below) contains an entry for each variable in the data set. The variables are generally listed in the order in which they occurred in the CATI interview. The INDEX of VARIABLES at the end of this document lists variables alphabetically.

Each entry in the data base dictionary contains several components. The first line starts with the letter of the section of the questionnaire from which the variable is derived, followed by the variable name and the name of the corresponding "xcode" variable, if such a variable exists, and a short variable label. Underneath this line is a detailed description of the variable (which is often the questionnaire text). The codeframe for this variable, all possible values that may occur in the data base, are listed next. Finally, references to questionnaire variables or other "notes" complete the entry.

NOTE: Each entry will contain section, variable name, a short label and the codeframe of possible responses. Other parts of the entry (such as questionnaire text, note, or x-code variable name) may not be needed in all entries. For example, in some cases there is no questionnaire text because the variable was obtained outside of the interview, or constructed from other variables within the interview. Additionally, some variables do not have companion xcodes.

An example that includes all components is given below:

A A10_9 XA10_9 TYPE OF INCENTIVE

You may remember that as a token of our appreciation for your participation, we would like to send you either $50, or a package of reports for small businesses from Dun and Bradstreet, which retails for $199. Have you decided which one you would like to receive?

1: CASH

2: D&B PACKAGE

3: NEITHER

4: HAVE NOT DECIDED YET

NOTE: Asked at beginning of interview. The incentive ultimately taken is identified in the variable A0_Incentive.

Explanation: The variable A10_9 was asked in section A of the questionnaire. It has an xcode which is named XA10_9. The short label (TYPE OF INCENTIVE) is followed by the questionnaire text starting with "You may remember ...". Allowable responses for this variable include values 1 through 4. There are

no missing values for this variable. If there were missing values, they would have been indicated beneath the allowable response. Last, the NOTE indicates some additional information about this variable.

A somewhat simpler example is for variable D2:

D D2 XD2 SITES IN SAME AREA AS MAIN OFFICE

Again including the main office, how many of these sites are located in the same (metropolitan area/county/parish/borough) as the main office?

NUMBER:___________________

The variable D2 was obtained in section D of the question and has an xcode named XD2. The entry includes the question text and the codeframe. Note that there are no additional notes, and that there could be some missing values because of legitimate skips.

Please note that the QUESTIONNAIRE contains additional and complementary information about the variables that may be needed to fully understand the nature of the question. In particular, interviewer instructions, question-by-question instructions, detailed skip patterns, and specific range restrictions are fully documented only in the annotated questionnaire.


Added Variables

In general, variable names on the public data set match question numbers. There are a few situations where this is not true: (i) the variables are created by combining variables within the questionnaire (collapsed); (ii) the variables are derived from combinations of other variables (derived);(iii) the variables are moved from one place to another in order to facilitate some aspect of analysis (both the I and T variables); (iv) the variables are obtained from other sources, such as preloaded frame information; and (iv) the shadow variables (xcodes) are derived from the quality of information obtained in the interview (reported, missing, range, legitimately skipped).

In every instance where a variable is created from questionnaire variables, the data base dictionary includes a reference to the original question or questions from which these variables are derived and the annotated questionnaire includes similar information as well as information on which variables have been added, moved, or deleted from the original questionnaire data base.


Collapsed variables:

In some cases, variable names on the public data set are changed to mnemonics reflecting the variable's content. This occurred most often when the information used to form the variable originated in different sections of the questionnaire for different types of businesses (see section C variables for example). Whenever the information in the collapsed variable contained all of the information that was available in the original questionnaire source variables, the source variables were dropped. Such renaming conventions as well as moves, drops, and other changes, are described in the annotated questionnaire. Within the database dictionary, the note at the bottom of a variable entry will indicate the source of the variable(s). An example of a collapsed variable is C_BLACK_1. Its data base dictionary entry is:

C C_BLACK_1 XC_BLACK_1 OWNER 1 BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN

Is [OWNER 1] of black/African American origin or descent?

1: YES

2: NO

.S : Legitimate Skip

NOTE: Derived from C4T2_1, C14T2_1, or C24T2_1

The variable C_BLACK_1 is from section C of the questionnaire and its xcode is XC_BLACK_1. The label indicates this is owner 1's answer to the question "Is Owner 1 of black/African American origin or descent?" The codeframe includes legitimate skips and the variable is derived from either C4T2_1, C14T2_1, or C24T2_1. Although not shown in the data base dictionary, the annotated questionnaire indicates that the source variables have been dropped from the data set.


Derived variables:

There are several instances where information has been combined from several variables to facilitate data analysis. Most of these derivations occur in section C where characteristics of individuals are combined to obtain estimates for the firm as a whole. For example, up to three owners are asked about their racial background. A question about whether the firm is more than 50 percent owned by individuals of certain characteristics is never asked in the interview but can be derived from the responses of the individual owners to the race question and to the share of ownership question. An example of such a variable is CF_BLACK and its data base entry is given as:

CF CF_BLACK XCF_BLACK WGTED % OF OSHP THAT IS BLACK

PERCENTAGE : ________________%

.S : Legitimate Skip

NOTE: CF_BLACK is the sum of (2 - C_BLACK_i * C_SHARE_i) divided by the sum of C_SHARE_i (where i goes from 1 to 3). Include the ith term in both sums only if C_INDIV_i = 1.

Another class of derived variables is check-all-that-apply categorical questions. These questions are converted to a set of dummy variables, one dummy variable for each response. For example, question F14_1_1 asks about the type of collateral used for the first line of credit. There are seven possible responses and the respondent was asked to check all that applied.

These variables are converted to a set of dummy variables, one dummy variable for each response. In this example, the variable F14_1_1 would be converted to seven yes/no dummies which would be named F14_1T1_1-F14_1T7_1. This information is also contained in the annotated questionnaire.


T-flag financial service variables:

During the interview, as the financial service roster was being collected, up to 20 flags were created for each of 16 financial services (Sections E, F, G, and MRL). These flags are useful for identifying the specific services used across institutions and combining institution information with product usage information (see Section IV below). T-flags have the following naming convention: Each flag starts with a T, followed by a short mnemonic indicating the service (ck for checking, sv for savings, etc.) followed by a numerical suffix. The suffixes range from 0 to 20. The zero suffix indicates a variable that contains the number of sources used for that service. The suffix i = 1 to 20 indicates the ith institution. T-flags with suffixes between 1 and 20 can equal 0, 1, 2, 3, 30, or .S. Any positive value indicates the firm obtained the service from the ith institution; 0 indicates the service was not obtained from the ith institution; 1 (2, 3) indicates the information on the service is found in the first (second, third) loop of the service in section E or F; and a value of 30 indicates that there were more than one institution contained in the third service loop. Note, whenever there is one 30 in a set of T-flags, there must be at least one other. Whenever there are fewer than 20 institutions or sources used by the firm, all T-flags with suffixes greater than the total number of sources will be ".S". (For a list of T-flags, see the table in the example for firm QRST in Section IV.)


I-variables describing institution characteristics:

All information from section H was copied into several variables referred to as I variables. The I-variables, however, also include information on sources that did not go through section H (about 275 out of 12,000 sources). Generally, users of the data base should not have to use variables from section H. For a complete list of the I-variables, see Appendix D.

The I-variables are generally named I followed by the question number of the question in section H which is then followed by a suffix that ranges from 1 to 20. For example, institution type was collected in section H as H2_1-H2_8. The comparable I variables are IH2_1-IH2_20. The suffix of the I-variables refers to the same institution as the suffix of the T-flag variables. (Note that the suffix on the H variables - which ranges from 1 to 8 - refers to the loop number, NOT the institution number. The correspondence between institution number and section H loop number is given by HINST_1-HINST_8.) For more information on using these variables to link source characteristics, account characteristics, and the financial services supplied by a specific source, see Section IV below.


Other added variables:

Additional variables of interest that were not collected during the main interview generally have the prefix A0_. These include the firm's credit score as obtained from Dun and Bradstreet (A0_DB_CREDRK), information on the sampling strata (A0_CENSDIV, A0_MSA, A0_DIVISION, A0_SIZECLSS, and A0_STRATUM), updated information on rural (A0_RURAL) and census division location (A0_DIVISION), variables describing the date of the screening interview, beginning date of main interview, whether an incentive was used and what type of incentive was used, the most important problem facing the firm (A0_FIRMPROB), three part deposit Herfindal indices of bank and thrift deposits for the Metropolitan Statistical Area or Rural County of the headquarters location of the firm (A0_HHI0, A0_HHI50, and A0_HHI100), and of some note, the sample weight (FIN_WGT) and the implicate number (A0_IMPLICAT) (See Appendix F below).


Xcodes: How to determine whether a value was imputed

Most of the variables in the main data set have a "shadow" variable that describes the condition of the variable prior to imputation. These shadow variables are always named starting with an "X" followed by the name of the companion variable. In most cases, the xcodes reflect the state in which the original variable was collected. However, there are cases where the original value of the variable was changed due to editing, which as described above only occurred in situations where there was additional data to validate a change. The "xcode" variable name for each variable is identified on the first line of each variable's codebook entry. Users who so desire may use the shadow variable to eliminate any imputed values. Values whose corresponding xcode has a value less than 6 were not imputed. Values whose corresponding xcode has a value greater than 6 were imputed. Values whose corresponding xcode has a value between 41 and 49, between 51 and 59 or equal to 60 were imputed subject to a specific range given by the respondent. To determine the number of cases imputed for a variable, simply examine that variable's xcode distribution and count the number of instances where the xcode value is larger than 5.

The following list indicates the value of the xcode and its interpretation. (See also Appendix B.)

Xcode Explanation

Value

1 reported or edited to value- NOT missing.

5 legitimate skip. Question not asked in interview because of skip patterns.

16 conditional skip. Question not asked in interview because some earlier lead-in or entrance

question was answered as missing. If xcode = 16 and value = .S, then in effect the value was imputed to a legitimate skip.

30 don't know, refused, not asked (due to CATI problem) - imputed.

40 don't know, refused, not asked when RANGE question asked, range positive, and respondent doesn't know or refuses to answer.

41-49 first-ninth range category, range positive.

50 don't know, refused, not asked when RANGE question asked, range negative, and respondent doesn't know or refuses to answer.

51-59 first-ninth range category, range negative.

60 special range, usually obtained from notes or worksheets

Note: The ranges associated with these xcodes may differ from question to question. For more information on the ranges, consult the survey questionnaire.


Repeating Variables

Sections C, E, F, and H of the questionnaire contain questions which were asked of some respondents more than once. Section C asked information on up to three owners. In sections E and F, respondents were asked to indicate whether they use more than one source for each type of financial service, and, if so, were asked to provide information about each source (up to three). In section H, firms were asked about the characteristics of their financial service sources for up to six, seven, or eight institutions, depending on whether the most recent loan institutions were different than other institutions (see above).

Variables which may repeat are given the question number as the primary name, followed by an underscore and a suffix indicating the repetition number. For example, in section E question E3 asks about the balance of the firm's checking accounts. The balance in the firm's checking accounts at its first source would be denoted E3_1, while the balance in the firm's checking accounts at its second source would be denoted by

E3_2, and at its third source would be denoted by E3_3. Note that the third checking amount will be the sum of all other sources whenever there are 4 or more sources.


Firm Level Characteristics: Race, Gender, Ethnicity, Owner Age, Education, and Experience Variables

Information on the owners of the firm was collected differently for the 2003 survey than it had been previously. In the past, characteristics of owners were collected only for the owner with the largest share, and respondents were asked whether a majority of firm owners were Hispanic, minority, or female. The 2003 survey followed the lead taken by the U.S. Census Bureau in its 2002 Survey of Business Owners, and collected individual demographic information on up to three owners.5 Respondents were asked to report on the individual with the largest ownership share first; if that individual did not have a controlling interest in the company (an ownership share of at least 51 percent), information was also collected on all remaining owners up to a maximum of two additional individuals. The change provides additional detail on specific owners and the organizational structure of the firm. At the same time, however, questions about the firm as a whole were not asked for these topics and must be constructed from the characteristics of the individual owners.

In order to create many of the firm-level variables for these characteristics, the information about individual owners was combined (aggregated). In general, the firm-level variables for certain characteristic of the firm are a weighted average of the characteristics of the individual owners weighted by the ownership shares. These weighted firm level variables can be used to define firm characteristics, such as whether the firm was more than 50 percent owned by individuals who were female, or Hispanic.

Firm-level variables were created for race and ethnicity (CF_ASIAN, CF_AS_HA, CF_BLACK, CF_HAWAII, CF_HISP, CF_MINHIS, CF_MINOR, CF_NATIVE, CF_WHITE, CF_W_NH) and gender (CF_FEMALE). Each of these variables represent the percentage of the firm owned by individuals with that characteristic. Education (CF_EDUC), owner age (CF_AGE), and experience (CF_EXPER) are the

weighted average of the individual characteristics.6 (Note that in the 2003 survey, owners were allowed to select more than one race, thereby allowing firms to be classified as more than one race as well.) For firms where less than 100 percent of the ownership was reported, characteristics were scaled up to equal 100.

The formula used was:

Percentage of firm owned by individuals with characteristic Y =

{([(Owner #1's characteristic * Owner #1's share) + (Owner #2's characteristic *

Owner #2's share) + (Owner #3's characteristic * Owner #3's share)]/

[owner #1's share + Owner #2'2 share + Owner #3's share])*100}

where the ith term (i=1, 2, or 3) is included only if C_INDIV_i=1.

NOTE: All weighted percentages are rounded to the nearest percentage point

For example, consider a firm in which the total reported shares summed to 75 percent: the largest owner held 40 percent of the firm and was a white, non-black, Hispanic male; the second owner held 25 percent of the firm and was a white, black, non-Hispanic female, and the third owner held 10 percent of the firm and was a non-white, black, non-Hispanic male. All other race categories (e.g., Pacific Islander and Native American) are answered "no." The following table summarizes the characteristics of interest for this example:


OWNER C_SHARE C_INDIV C_WHITE C_BLACK C_ASIAN C_HISP C_FEMALE C_MINHIS C_MINOR
FIRST 40 YES YES NO NO YES NO YES NO
SECOND 25 YES YES YES NO NO YES YES YES
THIRD 10 YES NO YES NO NO NO YES YES

In this example, CF_WHITE=87, CF_BLACK=46, CF_ASIAN=0, CF_HISP=53, CF_FEMALE=33 CF_MINHIS= 100, and CF_MINOR= 46. If (minority) ownership is defined as having more than 50 percent of the firm shares owned by individuals of specific characteristics, then the firm in this example would be described as being white-hispanic-male owned. This particular firm is both white-owned and minority-hispanic-owned, but not minority-owned since not more than 50 percent is owned by individuals of minority background.

More specifically, CF_HISP was calculated in the following way:

[(1*40 + 0*25 + 0*10) * (1/75)]*100 = 53

This means that one owner with a forty percent ownership share of the firm is Hispanic, one owner with a twenty-five percent share is non-Hispanic, and the final reporting owner has a ten percent ownership share and is non-Hispanic. Since only seventy-five percent of the ownership share is reported, the value is inflated to its 100% equivalent value. This assumes that the reporting owners are representative of the non-reporting owners.

CF_MINHIS was calculated as:

[(1*40 + 1*25 + 1*10)*(1/75)]*100=100

This means that the first owner was minority or Hispanic and had a 40 percent share, the second owner was minority or Hispanic and had a 25 percent share and the third owner was minority or Hispanic and had a 10 percent share.


Assigning race, ethnicity, and other firm-level variables:

Assigning ownership types to firms based on the percentage of shares owned by individuals with certain characteristics can easily be done using the CF share of ownership variables.

Example A: Suppose one wished to construct a variable that indicated the firm was female owned whenever more than 50 percent of the firm is owned by women. Define the variable to equal one whenever CF_FEMALE>50 and zero otherwise. If instead, the definition was 50 percent or more, then define the female-owned variable equal to one whenever CF_FEMALE>=50 and zero otherwise.

Example B: To indicate which firms are "at least 50%" owned by women, flag all observations where CF_FEMALE>=50.

Example C: To indicate which firms are "more than 50%" owned by Asians/Pacific Islanders, flag all observations in the data set where CF_AS_HA>50.

Example D: To indicate which firms are "more than 50%" owned by non-whites or Hispanics, flag all observations in the data set where CF_MINHIS>50.

Example E: To indicate which firms are "more than 50%" owned by a single family, flag all observations in the data set where CF_FAMILY = 1.

Users should note that individual-level information is not available for all firms. There were 50 firms where no individual held at least a 10 percent ownership share (CF_MORE10=2) and an additional 9 firms where the largest 3 shareholders were firms rather than individuals. In these cases, CF_ASIAN, CF_AS_HA, CF_BLACK, CF_HAWAII, CF_HISP, CF_MINHIS, CF_MINOR, CF_NATIVE, CF_WHITE, CF_W_NH, CF_FEMALE, CF_EDUC, CF_AGE, and CF_EXPER are all valid skips on the data (.S).


Open-Ended Responses

There were some questions that were open-ended. For example, in section H respondents were asked why they used a particular source. All such questions (as well as all 'other specify' questions) have been recoded into categorical responses. For many of the open-ended questions, the response referred to more than one reason. Most of these questions have been coded to permit up to three responses. The naming convention for reason recodes is the question number with a suffix of R1, R2, or R3 (e.g., MRL31R1, MRL31R2, and

MRL31R3 are the recoded responses to MRL31). If only one reason was given, then the second and third reasons were coded as ".S" (legitimately skipped).

Several of the open-ended responses deserve particular note. In section R, the respondent was asked the value of all other assets not reported (R9). Then the respondent was asked to list the type (R10_R1, R10_R2, and R10_R3) and amount (R11_1, R11_2, and R11_3) of the three largest of these assets. In most cases, the encoded text response for type of asset indicated that the amount should have been reported in one of the specific asset items (R1-R7). Whenever possible, these responses were adjusted by moving the amount to the appropriate place and subtracting that amount from R9. After the recoding of these questions the amounts remaining in R11_1, R11_2, and R11_3 were checked for consistency against R9 [i.e., SUM(R11_1,R11_2,R11_3) <= R9].

A similar set of questions were asked in section S for all other liabilities (S5). After encoding the text responses for the three largest other liabilities (S6_R1, S6_R2, and S6_R3), many of the responses were recoded and the amounts (S7_1, S7_2, and S7_3) were moved to the appropriate detailed liability item. The amounts remaining were checked for consistency against the adjusted S5.


Missing Values

There is some amount of missing data for nearly every SSBF question. An attempt has been made to impute most missing values. Consequently, there are few missing values other than those designated by a ".S" (not in quotes). The code ".S" indicates a legitimate skip or an inapplicable question. Other missing values that occur in a very few instances include: ".D" = don't know; ".R" = refused; ".N"= not asked (because of some error); and "." or " " = missing. (Note: missing values on the ASCII data sets are coded differently than the SAS data set. Please consult the ASCII instructions.)


Other Conventions

Variables which have looping sections, for example E3_1, E3_2, E3_3 will be denoted as E3_(1-3) in the questionnaire. Similarly, in section H, looping variables are denoted as, for example, H2_(1-8), meaning H2_1 (loop 1), H2_2 (loop 2), ... H2_8 (loop8).

Variable names listed in the questionnaire with a period in the name have the period replaced with an underscore on the data set (e.g., F32.2_(1-3) in the questionnaire is replaced with F32_2_1, F32_2_2, and F32_2_3 on the data base).

The source characteristics collected in section H of the questionnaire were copied to section I of the data base (there is no analogous section I in the questionnaire). This has been done to facilitate the association of source characteristics with product usage, which is discussed more fully below.


SECTION IV: COMBINING DATA ON THE USE OF FINANCIAL SERVICES AND SOURCES OF FINANCIAL SERVICES


Financial Service Use and Source Inventory

The survey was designed to enable researchers to build a roster of financial services and financial service providers for each business surveyed. This enables researchers to link information about individual financial services used by the firm (e.g., checking accounts, loans, other financial services) with information about the specific sources providing those services to the firm (e.g., institution type, length of relationship). Using these data, one can determine which sources provide which services to the firm. For example, a firm might obtain a checking account and a line of credit from a commercial bank, a mortgage from a savings and loan, a second line of credit from a finance company, etc. Information about each financial service is obtained from Sections E, F, G, and MRL of the questionnaire. Information about which institutions are associated with specific service loops in Sections E, F, G, and MRL are summarized in the T-flag variables, or service roster discussed below.

Information about sources providing financial services are derived from section H of the questionnaire, and appear in the source roster (section I) of the public-use data base. Although the information in Section I is also included in part in section H, generally there is little need to consult the H variables.

Using these data, one can combine source characteristics with the list of financial services used by the firm, as well as the characteristics of those services. This enables the user to create an inventory of services and sources at the source level. Individual services can be matched with specific sources and their characteristics.


Financial Services and the Financial Service Roster (T-flags)

Data on the use of financial services are collected in sections E, F, and G of the questionnaire. The survey collected an inventory of each financial service used by each firm at each different source. For each of 14 types of financial services (checking, savings, lines of credit, capital leases, business mortgages, equipment loans, motor vehicle loans, "other" loans, transactions services, credit-related services, cash management services, pension services, brokerage services, and card processing services), the respondent was first asked whether the firm obtained that service (the entrance question) from any source. If the respondent answered yes, the respondent was asked to identify each different source from which the firm obtained that specific financial service. Additionally, firms were asked to identify the source of their most recently approved loan/line of credit application and the source of their most recently denied loan/line of credit application in the past three years. Consequently, the survey design allowed the respondent to identify up to a total of 20 distinct sources for up to 16 distinct financial services. Few firms (185) identified more than 6 sources.

The repeating questions for each service are named for the question number in the questionnaire, but with a 1, 2, or 3 appended to the name (see "Repeating Variables" above). For example, question F52 refers to the number of leases, and F53 to the amount of principal owed on the lease(s). In the data set, these questions

are named F52_1, F52_2, F52_3, and F53_1, F53_2, F53_3. The suffix (_1, _2, or _3) is the loop number, and as will be seen below, can be identified from the value of the T-flags.

For the services listed in sections E and F (checking, savings, lines of credit, capital leases, business mortgages, equipment loans, motor vehicle loans, and other loans), additional questions are asked about the service-source pair up to three times (loops). In section G, the only questions asked are the entrance questions (i.e., did the firm obtain the service, or in the case of G11.1, which type) and the identity of the source. The additional questions asked in sections E and F vary from service to service. For example, for checking and savings, the only additional information collected about checking and savings accounts is the current balance. For lines of credit, however, additional questions are asked about the number of credit lines at each source, the amount of those lines, the amount of those lines outstanding, what types of collateral were required, and whether guarantees were required. The questions asked about each service are summarized in Appendix C.

Even though firms could identify up to 20 distinct sources for each service (only one sampled firm identified 20 sources), follow-up questions were asked only for three instances. If the firm identified three or fewer sources, then follow up questions were asked about each instance in the order in which the institutions were identified in the roster. If there were 4 or more sources, the firm was asked to identify the two with the largest balances. Loops 1 and 2 asked about the largest and second largest account (source). In loop 3, the third set (loop) of questions was asked about remaining sources combined. However, the vast majority of firms reported 3 or fewer sources for each service. (There were only 125 firms that reported having more than three providers of any checking, asset, or loan service.)

For example, if the firm had leases with exactly three institutions, the first pass through the lease section (questions F52_1, and F53_1) would apply to the first lease source; the second pass (questions F52_2 and F53_2) would apply to the second lease source; and the third pass (F52_3, and F53_3) would apply to the third lease. If there were five sources, then the first loop would correspond to the source with the largest lease balance, the second to the second largest lease balance, and the third loop would contain the combined information on the leases obtained from the three sources not reported in loops one and two.


Associating institutions with Sections E, F, and G loops

This process creates the financial services roster. For each of the 16 services (the 14 mentioned above, plus most recent approved loan institution and most recent denied loan institution), a 21 element vector of T-flags, was created. The T-flags are named with prefixes of TCK (checking), TSV (savings), TLC (lines of credit), TMG (mortgages used for business purposes), TLE (capital leases), TMV (motor vehicle loans), TEQ (equipment loans), TOT (other loans), TTRNS (transactions services), TCR (credit related services) TCA (cash related services), TBK (brokerage services), TTRST (trust or pension services), TCCP (card processing services), TMRA (most recent loan approved) and TMRD (most recent loan denied). The suffix of the variable contains a number from zero to 20. The zero-th element (e.g., TCK0) contains an integer which represents the total number of sources for a service (TCK0=3 means there were 3 checking sources). The remaining elements contain information as to whether the firm obtained a specific service from the nth institution. The value contained in the nth instance of a T-flag variable also contains information about which loop of the service section to associate with the nth institution. A value of zero (or ".S") in T-flags with suffixes equal 1 to 20 means the firm did not have that service with the institution identified by the value of the suffix. Whenever there are fewer than 20 sources identified, ALL T-flags with suffixes greater

than the total number of sources will be ".S". A value of one in one of the T-flags means that the first loop of that service is associated with the institution number represented by the suffix of that variable. A value of two means the second loop is associated with that institution, and a value of three means that the third loop is associated with that institution. Finally, a value of 30 means that there were more than three sources for that service, and the sources that were combined into a single response for the third loop will all have a

30 in their service T-flag. 7 (Note: whenever there is one 30 in a service T-flag, there must be at least one additional 30). An example may be the best way to understand this coding scheme.


Example 1: Associating Institutions with Section E and F Loops

Suppose a firm had the following information for the TLC variables:

TLC0=4; TLC1=30; TLC2=0; TLC3=0; TLC4=1; TLC5=0; TLC6=2, TLC7=0, TLC8=30; and TCL9-TLC20=.S. These flags indicate that the firm used four sources for lines of credit (TLC0=4). Lines of credit were obtained from sources 1, 4, 6, and 8 (TLC#>0). Information in loop 1 of the line of credit section is associated with institution 4 (TLC4=1); loop 2 is associated with institution 6 (TLC6=2), and both institutions 1 and 8 are represented in loop 3 of the line of credit section (TLC1=TLC8=30). Institutions 2, 3, 5, and 7 did not supply lines of credit (TLC#=0). Last, because all of the entries for TLC9 through TLC20 are ".S", the firm reported a total of 8 sources of financial services. (Note: All T-flags (for all 16 series) with suffixes of 9 through 20 will be filled with ".S" in this instance.)

For TMRA1-TMRA20 and TMRD1-TMRD20, there can be only one variable in the series that is equal to one. All others will be zero or ".S". This is because there is only one source (the most recent) for which information is collected for each of these services. The suffix of the T-flag containing the one is the institution number of the most-recent approved (most recent-denied) loan institution.

T-flags for transactions services (TTRNS#), cash services (TCA#), credit services (TCR#), brokerage services (TBK#), trust services (TTRST#), and card processing services (TCCP#) simply indicate if the firm obtained the service from a source (suffix number). This section only collects information on the source of these types of services, and hence there are no loops in Section G to associate with institutions. The numbers merely reflect the order in which the institution is mentioned in the roster.

For all of the 16 series of T-flags, any value greater than zero indicates the firm obtained that service from the firm identified by the suffix of the specific T-flag.


I-Variables: Institution Characteristics and Institution Roster

To facilitate combining information about the financial services used and the sources of the financial services, a set of I-variables have been created by copying the information on institution characteristics collected in section H (along with some other derived information) to a matrix of variables referred to as I variables. This section describes how the I variables were created.

As part of collecting the information on service use in sections E, F, G, and MRL, up to 20 distinct financial sources could have been identified. As sources were identified, they were assigned a number, starting at 1. The institution number corresponds to the suffix of the T-flags described earlier.

In section H, source characteristics were asked for up to eight institutions depending on whether the firm had any recent loan applications (approved and/or denied). There were few cases where the number of sources exceeded six, seven, or eight. Only 275 sources out of a total of 12,000 sources did not pass through section H. For these 275 cases, only the name of the source and the list of services (and the account characteristics) obtained from the source were known.

In section H, the firm was first asked to identify which of the sources was its primary source (H1 and IPRIME_(1-20)). If the firm had identified more than six (or seven or eight) sources, an algorithm (see Appendix A) was used to determine which six (seven or eight) sources the respondent would be asked about.

Note: The eight loops of section H may contain the institutions in ANY order, and not necessarily in the order in which they were added to the source roster. Consequently, the loop number in section H does not necessarily correspond to the institution number. To identify the institution number for the ith loop of section H, use HINST_(1-8). For example, if HINST_1=8, then the first loop of section H contains information about institution 8, not institution 1. The information in the T-flags and I variables for this institution will be the T and I variables with "8" as their suffix.

The information on source characteristics has been moved to a set of variables beginning with "I" and ending in a number ranging from 1 to 20. If the variable is derived from a section H variable, the name following I is the name of the variable in section H (e.g., H2 becomes IH2). For a list of source characteristics and their associated variable names, see Appendix D.

The suffix of the I variables corresponds to the source number. In essence, the source characteristics are summarized in a matrix of variables where the rows are specific sources (1, 2, ..., 20) and the columns are different characteristics. Thus, the variables IH2_1-IH2_20 identify the source type for sources 1 to 20. Similarly, IH4_1-IH4_20 identify the numbers of months the firm conducted business with sources 1 to 20.

The open-ended question regarding the reasons for choosing a source (question H3) permitted up to three reasons per source. If the response was missing, the first response was imputed and the second and third set to ".S" (legitimate skip). The naming convention for these three variables is IH3R1_#, IH3R2_#, and IH3R3_#, where "#" refers to the source number and ranges from 1 to 20, "R1" refers to the first reason, "R2" to the second, and "R3" to the third. If the open-ended response only indicated one reason, then the "R2" and "R3" variables would contain a ".S" (legitimate skip).


Combining Information About Financial Services and Sources of Financial Services: An Example

The key to linking the financial services sections to the source characteristics are the financial service flags (T-Flags) and the institution roster variables (I-Variables). The suffix associated with each financial service

flag and institution characteristic variable is the institution number. The values contained in the T-flags indicate the institutions associated with loops 1, 2, and 3 of sections E and F, which institutions have financial management services (section G) and which institutions were the most recent approved and denied sources. The characteristics of a specific source are contained in the I-variables.

To obtain the characteristics associated with source 3, use the I variables ending with the character "3". To obtain a list of the financial services obtained from source 3, use the T-Flags ending in "3".

To identify which institutions are associated with the loops in sections E, F, and MRL, use the values contained in the T-Flags.

An example of a very "active" firm is provided to help to illustrate these points. (Note that in this survey, a typical firm will report two or three services and two or three sources.)

The T-FLAGS and I-VARIABLES for firm QRST are displayed on the following page. Every observation, or case, has 16*21 T-flag variables and 7*20 I-variables. For the typical firm in the data, the majority of these variables will be filled with ".S" (legitimate skip).

In the table on the next page (T-Flags (Financial Services Roster) for Firm QRST), the first column contains the institution number, which is also the suffix of each of the variables listed in columns 2-16. The first row contains the variable name prefix, which describes each of 16 products (TCK, TSV, etc.). For example, column 2, row 3 contains the value of the variable TCK1, which for this example is equal to "1".

Each row describes the products used at a single source. The value of the T-flag provides a link to the product characteristics from sections E and F of the questionnaire. The row with the zero suffixes (second row) contains the total number of sources for each product.

Explanation:

We can use this table to describe the types of products used by Firm QRST at each of several institutions.

Financial Services Used:

The second row of this table (labeled 0), contains the "0" suffixed T-flags, which are constructed to contain the total number of distinct sources for each of the 16 products. These flags show that this firm obtained the following services: Checking from 3 sources(TCK0=3), savings from 3 sources (TSV0=3), lines of credit from 5 sources (TLC0=5), mortgages from 2 sources (TMG0=2), other loans from 4 sources (TOT0=4), motor vehicle loans from one source (TMV0=1), cash services from 5 sources (TCA0=5), trust services from 3 sources (TTRST0=3), brokerage services from one source (TBK0=1), and had a most recent approved loan (TMRA0=1). QRST did not have or use a capital lease (TLE0=0), equipment loan (TEQ0=0), transactions services (TTRNS0=0), credit related services (TCR0=0), card processing services (TCCP0), or have a recently denied loan (TMRD0=0).

Number of Sources Used:

Reading down the columns of this table, we observe that all T-flags for row 12 (institution I=10) and greater are ".S". This means that the firm reported a total of 9 sources of financial services.

Financial Services Used at Specific Institutions:

Reading across any row numbered 1-20 will indicate which products were obtained from a single institution, the number of which is denoted by the suffix or row number. T-flags that have values greater than zero signify that a service was used. For example, looking at row I=1, we see that Institution 1 provided firm QRST with a checking account (TCK1=1), a business savings account (TSV1=1), a line of credit (TLC=1), and an "other" loan (TOT1=2).

Sources of Specific Service and Tying to Loops in Sections E and F:

Reading down any column of this table shows which loops in sections E or F are associated with a specific financial source. For example, reading down the TCK (checking) column, we see that TCK0=3, TCK1=1, TCK3=2, TCK5=3, TCK2=TCK4=TCK6=TCK7=TCK8=TCK9=0 and TCK10-TCK20=.S. This means that firm QRST had three checking sources (TCK0=3). Information on checking is contained in Section E, and checking balances are stored in E3_1, E3_2, and E3_3. The checking balance at institution 1 (TCK1=1) is contained in loop 1 (E3_1); the checking balance at institution 3 (TCK3=2) is stored in loop 2 (E3_2), and the checking balance at institution 5 (TCK5=3) is stored in loop 3 (E3_3) of section E.

This firm had 5 lines of credit (TLC0=5). Institutions 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 provided these lines of credit. The first loop of the lines of credit section is associated with institution 1 (TLC1=1), while the second loop is associated with institution 5 (TLC5=2). Because there are more than three sources for lines of credit, loop 3 of the lines of credit section applies to the sum of the last 3 sources, institutions 6, 7, and 8 as indicated by TLC6=30, TLC7=30, and TLC8=30.

Financial Management Services (Section G of the questionnaire):

Continuing with the first table, information on which sources provided financial management services differs somewhat from the other T-flags. No service-specific information was collected on the

amounts or balances for these products from any of the sources, and consequently there are no loops in Section G with which to associate these flags. The financial management service flags are listed in the T-

flag columns labeled TTRNS (transactions services), TCA (cash services), TCR (credit services), TBK (brokerage services), TTRST (trust and pension services), and TCCP (card processing services). Any of these T-flags with a value that is greater than zero indicates the firm obtained the service from an institution whose number equals the suffix of the T-flag variable. Other than signifying the firm obtained a service from a source, the value of these T-flags has no additional significance. For example, firm QRST obtains cash services from five sources (TCA0=5), including source 2(TCA2=1), source 4 (TCA4=2), source 5 (TCA5=30), source 7 (TCA7=30), and source 8 (TCA8=30). (The 30's for the section G T-flags have no special significance other than indicating the firm obtained the service from a specific institution given by the suffix of the T-flag variable.)

Example continued:

The next table (I-variables (Selected Characteristics of Sources of Financial Services for Firm QRST) summarizes institution characteristics. The first column (I) contains the institution number, which is also the suffix of each of the variables listed in columns 2-9. The first row contains the variable name prefix, which describes selected institution characteristics (IH2,IH4, IH7, etc.). For example, column 2, row 2 of the second table contains the value of the variable IH2_1, which for this example is equal to "1".

Each row describes the characteristics of one source. By combining information from this table and the previous T-flag table for QRST, one can link institution, product, and firm characteristics.

Institution Characteristics:

Information on the institution characteristics are summarized in the above table for firm QRST. (Recall from the previous T-flag table for QRST that QRST obtained checking (TCK1=1), savings (TSV1=1), line of credit (TLC1=1), and other loans (TOT1=2) from institution 1.) Reading across the second row, which is institution 1's row, we see that institution 1 is a commercial bank (IH2_1=1) and is located 2 miles from the headquarter's office of firm QRST (IH7_1=2). The firm usually conducts business with this source in person (IH8_1=1). The firm has been doing business with this bank for 60 months (IH4_1=60). Reasons that the firm used this institution were: 1) Low fees or price (IH3R1_1=41), 2) Local Bank (IH3R2_1=32), and 3) Service availability (IH3R3_1=20). This source was also the firm's primary institution (IPRIME_1=1).


SECTION V: OBTAINING ESTIMATES FROM THE 2003 SSBF


Introduction

Users of the 2003 SSBF should keep in mind that the data have been produced through complex survey methods. These methods need to be accounted for when making inferences based on the data. Ignoring the survey aspects of the data will generally lead to incorrect point and parameter estimates and generally underestimated estimated variance and standard errors, sometimes substantially so.

This section discusses two particular features of the 2003 SSBF as they relate to estimation using the 2003 SSBF data: (l) the sample observations are NOT drawn from a simple random sample; and (2) missing values on the data set have been multiply imputed. Both of these features affect the calculation of estimates (means, regression coefficients) and their standard errors and variances. Below, some examples using SAS are provided. The discussion is intended to illustrate how the multiply-imputed 2003 SSBF data can be used. The discussion is not exhaustive, nor is it meant to provide an endorsement for SAS. There are many estimation softwares that offer the ability to incorporate design parameters and multiply imputed data when analyzing survey results.

Please note that the 2003 SSBF data set contains 4,240 cases. The database consists of five implicates, each of which contains 4,240 cases and can be identified by the variable A0_IMPLICAT. Although there are 5 * 4,240 observations in total, there are still only 4,240 separate firms. Values of variables that were reported in the interview have the same value on each implicate. Values of variables that were missing in the interview and have been imputed may have different values on each implicate. The examples below illustrate how to account for survey design characteristics in estimation and how to combine estimates from each implicate to account for the additional uncertainty due to imputation.


Sample design and estimation

The sample design of the 2003 Survey of Small Business Finances was a systematic stratified random design with oversampling of the larger employment size classes (firms with 20 or more employees). Sample weights have been produced to account for disproportionate sampling and unit nonresponse. The data set also includes the original stratification variables. These design features potentially affect the calculation of both population estimates and their variances. 9 As succinctly put in the STATA manual, "it is important to use sampling weights in order to get the point estimates right. We must consider the weighting, clustering, and stratification of the survey design to get the standard errors right."10


Multiply-Imputed data

As is true in virtually any survey, there is some amount of missingness in the survey variables. As described earlier, virtually all missing values in the 2003 SSBF data set have been imputed. Generally, the imputations involved fitting a model to predict the missing value, and then adding a random term to the predicted value. The 2003 release contains five copies or implicates of the data set, each containing survey information on the same 4,240 firms. Reported data values do not differ across implicates; in contrast, however, imputed values may differ across implicates. By providing users with separate implicates, estimates from each implicate can be combined so that valid statistical inferences that properly reflect the uncertainty due to missing values can be obtained.11


General Procedure

Regardless of the specific software, the method of estimation using multiply imputed data involves first estimating the parameters of interest separately for each implicate, appropriately adjusting for sample weights and sample design. (In the 2003 SSBF data, there are five implicates.) Once the separate implicate estimates are derived, the second part involves estimating the between-imputation variance of each parameter and then combining the between-imputation variance with sampling variance to obtain an overall (sample and imputation) variance.12

This basic strategy is implemented somewhat differently across software platforms. In SAS, a minimum of two procedures must be run: first the estimation procedure (e.g., PROC SURVEYREG) is run on each implicate and estimates from the procedure are outputted to data sets. Second, MIANALYZE is run to combine the estimates from separate implicates into overall estimates that account for sample design and imputation uncertainty. Tests are then conducted on the results from MIANALYZE. Below, samples are provided using SAS.


Examples

Two types of examples are considered: estimation of a population mean and estimation of a simple regression. For the mean example, F6_2 (the interest rate charged on the most frequently used business credit card) is used. This variable was chosen in part because it was one of the most extensively imputed variables, having approximately 20 percent of all values imputed.13 The regression example models the principal owner's net worth in millions of dollars (U8) as a linear function an intercept, profit of the firm in millions of dollars (PROFIT) and the age of the principal owner (C_AGE_1).

For purposes of this discussion, assume that the data set has been created in advance of the estimation. The data set contains all five implicates for a total of 21,200 observations (5 * 4,240). It contains the analysis

variables (including F6_2, U8, PROFIT, and C_AGE_114), the final weight variable (FIN_WGT), the stratification variable (A0_STRATUM), a case or firm identifier (SU_ID), and a variable identifying the implicate (A0_IMPLICAT), or in SAS, _IMPUTATION_. 15


Example 1: Estimation of population mean of F6_2 using SAS.16

1.1. Prior to running the PROC SURVEYMEANS, sort the data set by _IMPUTATION_.

PROC SORT DATA=TEST OUT=TEST;

1.2. Calculate means and standard errors of F6_2 by implicate.

Run PROC SURVEYMEANS using FIN_WGT as the sample weight, A0_STRATUM as the stratification variable, and _IMPUTATION_ as the BY variable.

4 F6_2 2273 12.159292 0.143679
5 F6_2 2274 12.142286 0.144081

A couple of observations: Both the point estimates and the estimated standard errors vary across implicates. The means range from 12.14 to 12.22, and the standard errors from 14.31 to 14.41. The sample sizes also differ across implicates (F6_2_N). This is because the question about business credit card use (F4) was sometimes missing and the resulting imputation for this variable differed across implicates. Whenever a firm that failed to answer the business credit card use question was imputed to have used credit cards, the interest rate paid on its business credit card was also imputed.

1.3. Run PROC MIANALYZE to calculate the overall standard error for the mean of F6_2.

PROC MIANALYZE DATA=MEANF6_2 EDF=4240;

MODELEFFECTS F6_2_MEAN;

STDERR F6_2_STDERR;

RUN;

MIANALYZE combines the means and standard errors from each of the separate implicate estimates, calculates the between imputation variance, and produces the overall mean and standard error of the mean for F6_2. Note that the input data set is the same as the output data set from the

PROC SURVEYMEANS above. EDF is set to the full sample size of 4240 for this example. The model effects in this example are for the mean of F6_2. The STDERR indicates the name of the standard error estimate (F6_2_STDERR) from the output data set of the PROC SURVEYMEANS. The SAS output is given below:

The "Multiple Imputation Parameter Estimates" table displays the estimated mean and standard error, as well as a 95% confidence interval for the mean and a t statistic with the associated p-value for testing the mean is equal to zero. The table also displays the minimum and maximum parameter estimates from the various implicate data sets. Note that the estimated mean (12.175) falls between the minimum and maximum estimate from the implicates. In this example, the standard error estimate (.148422) is larger than any of the standard errors estimated from the individual implicates, reflecting the additional uncertainty due to imputed values.


Example 2: Estimation of regression parameters using SAS

2.1. Obtain regression estimates using PROC SURVEYREG.

The example estimates the parameters of the equation U8=a+b(PROFIT)+c(C_AGE_1). As with the mean example, the weight variable is FIN_WGT and the stratum variable is A0_STRATUM. The BY _IMPUTATION_ instructs SAS to obtain separate estimates for each implicate.18 The COVB option on the model statement is required to output the covariance estimates. Two data sets are created - MYPARMEST contains the parameter estimates and MYCOV contains the covariance estimates. (Note: The covariance estimates are needed if multivariate tests on parameters are needed.)

Summary

This chapter has illustrated how to use information on the sample design of the 2003 SSBF (weights and strata) together with the multiply imputed survey data to estimate population means and regression parameters. Today, many statistical estimation packages have procedures that account for sample design and account for multiply-imputed survey.

The examples in this chapter only examine the basic procedures. Once estimates from multiply-imputed data are calculated, they can then be used with other procedures and routines to test hypotheses, analyze results and generate predicted values. But those tasks are beyond the scope of this codebook. Researchers interested in learning more about the views on using survey data are encouraged to consult the underlying articles and read the information contained in the software documentation.


APPENDIX A


ALGORITHM USED TO SELECT SECTION H INSTITUTIONS

In section H, questions about up to eight institutions or sources are asked. If there are more than eight sources, then these sources are prioritized in the following way:

1 The primary institution or source as determined by respondent (H1)

2 The approved loan institution

3 The denied loan institution

4 Institutions or sources with checking/savings, loans, and other services

5 Institutions or sources with checking/savings and loans

6 Institutions or sources with other services and loans

7 Institutions or sources with loans only

8 Institutions or sources with checking/savings and other services

9 Institutions or sources with checking/savings

10 Institutions or sources with other services

Within each priority level, ties are broken by the sum of the balances of accounts or debts within the services described at that level, then by the number of other services at the institution or source. If a balance refers to multiple ("all other") institutions, the balance at the institution in question is considered to be the aggregate amount divided by the number of institutions represented. Generally, six institutions can pass through section H. If the Most Recent Approved (MRA) or Most Recent Denied (MRD) source is unique, then the firm was asked about seven sources. If both the MRA and MRD were unique, then the firm was asked about eight sources. The institution numbers (which correspond to the suffixes of the T-Flags and the I-Variables) for each of the eight loops of section H are contained in the variables HINST_(1-8). The primary institution number is contained in the H1 variable, or is the institution for which IPRIME_(1-20)=1.

Value Description

1 "good-no imputation"

5 "good- legitimate skip"

16 "impute maybe - conditional skip"

30 "impute- .D, .R, .N"

40 "impute - positive range"

41 "impute - (positive) range=1"

42 "impute - (positive) range=2"

43 "impute - (positive) range=3"

44 "impute - (positive) range=4"

45 "impute - (positive) range=5"

46 "impute - (positive) range=6"

47 "impute - (positive) range=7"

48 "impute - (positive) range=8"

49 "impute - (positive) range=9"

50 "impute - negative range"

51 "impute - (negative) range=1"

52 "impute - (negative) range=2"

53 "impute - (negative) range=3"

54 "impute - (negative) range=4"

55 "impute - (negative) range=5"

56 "impute - (negative) range=6"

57 "impute - (negative) range=7"

58 "impute - (negative) range=8"

59 "impute - (negative) range=9"

60 "impute - special range"

There is a correspondence between the values of variables and the xcode. If the variable has a value of .D, .R, or .N. the xcode must be 30. Valid non-missing values can only have a xcode of 1. Generally, variables that have values equal to .S denoting legitimate skips will have xcodes of 5 or in a few cases 16 (skip conditional on entrance imputation and entrance imputed to "No."). Special ranges generally were obtained from interviewer notes and returned worksheets, tax forms or financial statements.

This factor is the number of days the income statement covered divided by 365 and was calculated using information on the start date of the reporting period (P1_1MO, P1_1DAY and P1_1YR) and the end date of the fiscal year (B2_1MO, and B2_1DAY).
