All enterprises (including those under 10 employees), in accordance with section 2 of the annex of the Commission Regulation No 1450/2004 on innovation statistics. The target population includes also NACE 01,02,05, 45 -50, 52-55, 70-71, 73, 74.1, 74.4-74.8, 75-93.
Source Of Sampling Frame
The sample was drawn from the frame population that was up-to-date in November 2006.
Sampling Design
combination of stratified sampling and census
- random sampling within strata
Sampling Method
The sample design is a stratified simple random sample. Enterprises were stratified using four indicators: number of employees (4 size classes); NACE group (53 groups); region (2 regions: city Riga or others); activity-in-innovation identification in innovation and R&D in 2005. Number of strata is 343. Number of samples is 1.
All big statistical units (employees>249 in size groups 4 and 5) are included in the sample. Statistical units with activity-in-innovation identification (information from survey of R&D and innovation in 2005)-all included in the sample.
Other statistical units are included using stratified simple random sampling method. Sampling sizes mh in strata h with population Nh are determined by Neyman optimal allocation. If activity-in -innovation identification then mh=Nh.Enterprises with 250 and more employees were 100% included in the sample. Enterprises which have had innovation in the three-year period from 2002 to 2004 or R&D in the year 2005, were 100% included in the sample.

Weighting: Method
Used the inverse of the sampling fraction as the weights Nh / nh, where Nh is the population in stratum h and nh is the number of enterprises in the realised sample in stratum h, assuming that each unit in the stratum had the same inclusion probability. This will automatically adjust the sample weights of the respondents to compensate for unit non-response. If the size group is 4 or 5 (number of employees 249+ ), then always weights=1 in the sample and in the realised sample.

Sampling Method
All units with 50 employees or more were included in the survey (cut-off.) Exception for NACE 45, 51and 60; out of all enterprises within with 50-99 employees, a sample of 35 per cent were drawn, due to the large number of enterprises in these NACE-classes.
A representative sample were drawn for enterprises with 5-49 employees, stratified by 2-digit NACE, size class and region (90 regions). The strata by size were as follows:5-9 employees, 10-19 employees and 20-49 employees.Total size of this sample was decided to 4500 enterprises. Allocation of the sample was made proportional by the number of enterprises in the target population with the following modifications:
- Minimum 20 enterprises in all strata (or all)
- For larger industries, i.e. industries with many enterprises, a smaller percentage of the units were drawn. Specifically for NACE 45, 51 and 60 the sample rate for enterprises with 5-19 employees was 10 per cent and 15 per cent for enterprises with 20-49 employees.
- For NACE 72 the proportional factor was 50%
- For all other NACE/ industries the sample rate for enterprises with 5-49 employees was approximately 35 per cent.If a particular stratum has less than 6 enterprises, then all the enterprises in this stratum were selected for the survey.
