This project contributes 35% to your semester mark. The submission date is Friday 21 October 2022 at 12:00. If not submitted on time, a penalty of 10% per day will be applied for submission after the due date.

 

This is an individual assignment/ project. In order to assure that each student estimates his/ her own regression, each student is assigned his/ her own unique sample of 250 observations from the overall range of 4 801 observations included in the EViews file “Data 2022”. See the Excel file “Samples2022” for specific details.

 

The research question is: “Which factors impacted on the performance of firms during the Covid-19 pandemic – particularly on their employment levels?”

 

The data for this project were obtained from the World Bank. Since the 1990s they regularly conduct firm-level surveys in representative samples of private sector firms. After the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic the standard questionnaire that has been used in recent years was amended to specifically assess how firms have coped with and responded to the virus outbreak. For more information you van visit the website at https://www.enterprisesurveys.org/en/enterprisesurveys. This specific data set contains information of 4 801 firms from 46, mostly developing, countries obtained during 2020 and 2021.

Below are the names and description of the variables to be included in your empirical analysis:
