Innovation Survey in China
20072007 20142014 2016 & after2016 & after
 Industrial firms above designed
scale (I) by sampling
 Hard data = 2006
 Soft data = 2004-2006
 Product innovation and
process innovation only
 Separate programme
 67,000 in 300,000
 (I)
 Construction & Financial sectors (II)
 Seven other service sectors (III) by
sampling
 Hard data = 2014
 Soft data = 2013-2014
 All the 4 kinds of innovation
 Formal programme in NBS
 (I) = 378,000; (II) ≈ 20,000; (III) =52,000
Total ≈ 440,000
 (I) + (II) - Financial sectors +(III)
 Census for firms above designed
scale; sampling for under it
 Hard data = 2016

Design of the Survey
 Two sampling systems
 Census – all the firms above designed scale
industry (I)  (I)+construction+finance  (I)+construction+7 service sectors
 Sampling – firms not reach designed scale
 Two sets of questionnaires × three sectors group
 (Firm & firm owner/manager) ×(industry & construction & selected service)
 Follows CIS, change words or orders of questions
 Some CIS hard data not in this survey but in R&D survey
 Quality control report but not open
ISIC v4: B,C,D + F, (K) + G,H,J,M
