Chinese Industrial Enterprise Data, established by the National Bureau of Statistics, stands as one of the most frequently used and crucial economic datasets in academia. The data is aggregated from quarterly and annual reports submitted by sample enterprises to local statistical bureaus, covering all state-owned industrial enterprises and non-state-owned industrial enterprises above designated size, with statistical units at the corporate legal entity level. The "industrial" statistical scope here includes three categories from the "National Economic Industry Classification": "Mining", "Manufacturing", and "Production and Supply of Electricity, Gas, and Water", with manufacturing constituting the predominant sector (over 90%). The "above designated size" threshold requires enterprises to have annual main business income (i.e., sales revenue) of 5 million yuan or more, which was raised to 20 million yuan or more in 2011.
Numerous domestic and international scholars have utilized this dataset for academic research, with findings published in prestigious journals such as American Economic Review, Quarterly Journal of Economics, and Economic Research Journal. These studies span diverse fields including industrial organization theory, enterprise theory, corporate finance, international trade, income distribution, and labor supply.
The CnOpenData Industrial Enterprise Information Change Dataset provides historical industrial and commercial change records for enterprises above designated size, encompassing six modules: Shareholder Change (股东变更), Key Personnel Change (主要人员变更), Enterprise Information Change (企业信息变更), Operational Change (经营变更), Capital Contribution Change (出资变更), and Other Changes (其他变更). It details change dates, modified items, and pre- and post-change specifics, offering robust data support for researching the development and evolution of Chinese industrial enterprises, as well as structural changes in China's market economy.
