Different methodological approaches for identifying ICT exporting enterprises: main results from the Italian case Maria Grazia Calza Francesca Inglese ISTAT – Microsimulation Unit

Two different methodological approaches: 

Two different methodological approaches The first approach is based on the definition of ICT activities Industrial classes of the 3rd revision of the International Standard Industrial Classification The second approach is based on the definition of ICT products Prodcom (98) classification based on the work of the Nordic working group on Information Society Statistics

ICT SECTOR DEFINITION: 

ICT SECTOR DEFINITION ICT manufacturing industry DL 30 Office, accounting and computing machinery DL 31.30 Insulated wire and cable DL 32 Television and radio transmitters and communication equipment and apparatus DL 33.20 Instruments and appliances for measuring, checking, testing, navigating and other purposes, except industrial process equipment DL 33.30 Industrial process control equipment ICT services G 51.43 Wholesale of electrical household appliances and radio and television goods G 51.64 Wholesale of machinery, equipment and supplies G 51.65 Wholesale of machinery for use in industry, trade and navigation I 64.20 Telecommunications K 71.33 Renting of office machinery and equipment including computers K 72 Computers and related activities

ICT PRODUCTS DEFINITION: 

ICT PRODUCTS DEFINITION The classification includes 222 commodities, clustered in six categories Telecommunications equipment Consumer electronics Computers Electronic components Office machinery Instruments and equipment for detecting, measuring, checking and controlling physical phenomena or processes

The data sources: 

The data sources Each method implies a different use of statistical information taken from the COE database. According to the first method to define ICT sector we use statistical information grouped by individual economic traders, while to define ICT products we use statistical information referred to all goods classified by the CN8 (Combined Nomenclature) code and traded by individual economic traders ASIA database: ISTAT micro files on all active enterprises COE database: ISTAT micro files on international trade
