Abstract
In current economic studies on enterprises carried out in ISTAT (the Italian Statistic Institute) the selection of the domain of interest is mainly based on the Classification of Economic Activities (ATECO’91), which is an official classification.
In this paper we analyse the coherence of the ATECO’91 in representing microdata which concern economic variables. Then we determine the statistical information, expressed by the coefficient CI, corresponding to different levels of details of the above classification and to different characters.
For this purpose we consider a set of data collected by the survey on Economic Account of the Enterprises, including both structural and economic variables.
