Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA)’s Research Support Unit (RSU) is hosting an information session for researchers and other interested parties who wish to learn more about the latest update to the Business Data for Research (BDR) 2022 dataset, now available within ADR Northern Ireland.
BDR is a de-identified dataset comprised of survey data from the Business Register and Employment Survey (BRES) and the Northern Ireland Annual Business Inquiry (NIABI) (including Northern Ireland Economic Trade Statistics (NIETS)). This latest release includes the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) 2014-2022, along with data for all component datasets covering the period 2014 to 2022. This update is further enhanced through the addition of detailed export data by country of destination within the NIETS.
More information can be found on the NISRA website.
