Abstract

"The database of "" Chinese Annual Survey of Industrial Firms” has become one of the most important data sources in micro research on enterprise economic behaviors. Based on the matching between the data structure of this database and the research category of enterprise economic behaviors, by systematically reviewing the latest application in research on enterprise economic behaviors, such as production, innovation, international trade, employment, survival and growth of enterprise, this paper points out that this database has some limitations, such as the limited index types and the singleness of some category indexes, impeding the further study in some fields. In this view, this paper argues that more and more micro-databases will be used to be merged with the database of "" Chinese Annual Survey of Industrial Firms”, and using the merged data to study will be one of the most important directions in future research. Therefore, it reviews the latest applications of the merged data for the first time and puts forward some relative new perspectives in future extended application of this database."
