The delta between our prior extract and the current includes new concepts and geographies. Units vary. Series dates vary, as early as 2005 and as late as 2016. Geo coverage is 147 individual countries. Not all concept-geo combinations exist; there are 121 to 226 concepts per geo, and 81 to 147 geos per concept.
The dataset resides in the historical catalog (Cross-Country Datasets » World Bank » Enterprise Surveys) and includes, for example:
- WBEICFRMFCHARCAR1UA.IAFG = Age of the establishment, (Yr.) - for Afghanistan
- WBEICFRMOBSOBST14UA.IARM = Firms choosing tax rates as their biggest obstacle, (%) - for Armenia
- WBEICFRMTRDTR11UA.IARG = Firms using material inputs and/or supplies of foreign origin, (%) - for Argentina
Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.

About our extract:
- For backwards compatibility we have preserved the prior mnemonics as aliases. For example, WBEICFRMTRDTR11UA.IARG was previously WBKESTR11A.IARG.
- Our concept codes embed the source's identifier, sans dot separators. For example, WBEICFRMTRDTR11UA.IARG is our copy of IC.FRM.TRD.TR11.
- We notate the source identifier in square brackets in the "source" metadata.
