=='''Big Data for Small Business'''==
 +
 
 +
"PROGRAM CHANGE:
 +
BIG DATA FOR SMALL BUSINESS ($1.9M / 9 FTE)
 +
Small businesses are a critical element of the overall economy and are often at the leading edge of
 +
risk-taking, entrepreneurship, and economic growth. Yet, unlike large corporations who have staffs of
 +
economists, advisors, and consultants to assist in interpreting and understanding the economy and
 +
guiding investments, small businesses largely depend on limited publicly-available data.
 +
Recognizing this, and the Department’s role in supporting small business growth and decision-making,
 +
as well as the need for more insight into the health of the small business sector, BEA proposes a new
 +
suite of small business data products. To inform policy, as well as Main Street decision-making, BEA
 +
proposes to expand data on small business by developing a Small Business Satellite Account including
 +
a new Small Business GDP to track the overall growth and health of America’s small business sector.
 +
This will be a key new measure, offering insight into the leading edge of the economy, as small
 +
businesses are often the first to react to growth or contraction in their sectors or regions, often reacting
 +
to changes in policy before larger corporations. Gaining such insight will also fulfill a key lesson learned
 +
from the 2008 financial crisis in terms of expanding the granularity of data on business activity.
 +
In addition to the new Small Business GDP measure, the small business satellite account will present
 +
new data on the distribution of small businesses by size of employment and sales; legal form of
 +
business, taxes, and net income; by industry; and by region of the country. This data will provide
 +
meaningful descriptions and the ability to understand trends over time regarding the changes in
 +
composition, industry, and geography of the small business sector. In addition to supporting good
 +
public policy at the national level, these data will also be of substantial value to state and local
 +
government as well as business development officials in understanding their regional economic
 +
dynamics.
 +
Coupled with BEA’s other products, such as GDP by State and Real State Personal Income, these
 +
new statistics will represent a wealth of new information to guide small business growth and policy.
 +
Beyond the public policy arena, expanding the Department’s data offerings to this essential
 +
constituency will only further enhance the ability of America’s entrepreneurs to innovate, grow, and lead
 +
successful businesses.
 +
There are no risks to the development and production of new data, and particularly not as it relates to a
 +
new satellite account focusing on small businesses. In this case, particularly given that no new data
 +
ESA - 26
 +
EXHIBIT 12 – 15
 +
collection is proposed (the new account will be built from existing, primarily administrative, data), and
 +
thus no additional burden will be placed on businesses to develop the necessary data.
 +
The opportunities presented by this proposal are considerable given the well-defined record of
 +
accomplishment of accurate, reliable, official statistical data providing the knowledge basis for
 +
economic growth as well as smart decisions in the public policy sector.
 +
Further, the benefit of this initiative to the Department goes to the heart of the Department’s role in
 +
economic policy – the Department is the primary source of actionable statistics on the state of the
 +
economy. Along with the daily provision of weather information, the weekly issuance of economic
 +
indicators is one of the Department’s most important and visible functions. Expanding the Department’s
 +
data offerings to such an important constituency is a highly valuable proposition for both the
 +
Department as well as policy and business sectors.
 +
The risk of not pursuing this proposal is perpetuating the continued lack of direct knowledge of the
 +
economic health of the small business sector and what that sector can tell us about the health of the
 +
overall economy. There is a clear need and desire for this information, as demonstrated by multiple
 +
efforts over the years by SBA and various trade associations to develop similar data sets. BEA is
 +
uniquely suited to develop this data set given its role as the custodian of the nation’s economic
 +
accounts. Further, data on small businesses published by BEA will have the official imprimatur of BEA
 +
as well as the full, symmetric, and broad access to the data that is true for all BEA data products.
 +
Also of importance is that, as a BEA data set, the Small Business Satellite Account will provide data in
 +
a consistent times series, as well as in a format and methodology consistent with all of BEA’s accounts
 +
thus allowing expanded analysis in full context.
 +
Given the role and importance of small businesses in economic growth and recovery, the addition of
 +
new and better information to assist small business decision-making and investment will only serve to
 +
support small business success. This is an outstanding opportunity for the Department to expand its
 +
service offering to this critical constituency.
 +
Costs are largely personnel in nature, with a $500k expected expenditure on data purchase.

Statement of Need and Economic Benefits
 +
The additional economic statistics resulting from the implementation of this proposal will provide policy
 +
makers, the Administration, and the Department of Commerce with key information to assess the
 +
economic health and capacity of the small business sector to engage in economic activity. Small
 +
businesses comprise a large portion of the business sector in the U.S. and are often the leading edge
 +
of economic growth and contraction; yet no current Federal statistical programs exist to provide a
 +
complete picture of the small business sector. While some features of the sector are measured in
 +
varying ways, this proposal will pull them together into a concise picture, allowing policy makers and
 +
business leaders to assess and anticipate small business economic capacity and respond accordingly.
 +
Specific economic benefits of this investment:
 +
• As has been demonstrated repeatedly since the introduction of regular, consistent, publicsector
 +
economic data in the 1930s, detailed and quality economic statistics contribute
 +
significantly to the overall stability of the economy, which itself contributes to economic growth.
 +
Specific cost savings:
 +
• While this proposal will not result in cost savings to BEA, it will result in significantly improved
 +
economic statistics. These improved and expanded statistics will provide the right information
 +
to develop policies and affect business investments that will improve U.S. competitiveness and
 +
create new jobs.
 +
 
 +
ESA - 28
 +
EXHIBIT 12 – 15
 +
Possible return on investment:
 +
• The return on investment to the Bureau, and the nation, is significant, as this initiative will serve
 +
to fill notable existing gaps in official government statistics and will provide highly valuable new
 +
detail on the small business sector, its composition, employment, and growth by region and
 +
industry. Of great value to economic policy makers, this new data will also be of high value to
 +
the business community, in particular small businesses. Major corporations have staffs of
 +
economists, advisors, and consultants assisting in interpreting and understanding the economy
 +
and guiding investments – small businesses do not.
 +
• Better statistics allow policies to be more accurately calibrated and optimized by permitting a
 +
more accurate assessment of their costs and benefits. The potential gains from this initiative
 +
will certainly far exceed the relatively small cost.
 +
Schedule and Milestones:
 +
FY16: Research and develop methodology; conduct outreach to stakeholders to gain additional
 +
information; and expand collaboration with other Federal agency stakeholders.
 +
FY17: Publish methodology papers and develop initial estimates; present and secure endorsement of
 +
methodology and initial estimates from BEA Advisory Committee
 +
FY18: Publish prototype satellite account
 +
FY19: Publish official data series

Big Data for Small Business

"PROGRAM CHANGE: BIG DATA FOR SMALL BUSINESS ($1.9M / 9 FTE) Small businesses are a critical element of the overall economy and are often at the leading edge of risk-taking, entrepreneurship, and economic growth. Yet, unlike large corporations who have staffs of economists, advisors, and consultants to assist in interpreting and understanding the economy and guiding investments, small businesses largely depend on limited publicly-available data. Recognizing this, and the Department’s role in supporting small business growth and decision-making, as well as the need for more insight into the health of the small business sector, BEA proposes a new suite of small business data products. To inform policy, as well as Main Street decision-making, BEA proposes to expand data on small business by developing a Small Business Satellite Account including a new Small Business GDP to track the overall growth and health of America’s small business sector. This will be a key new measure, offering insight into the leading edge of the economy, as small businesses are often the first to react to growth or contraction in their sectors or regions, often reacting to changes in policy before larger corporations. Gaining such insight will also fulfill a key lesson learned from the 2008 financial crisis in terms of expanding the granularity of data on business activity. In addition to the new Small Business GDP measure, the small business satellite account will present new data on the distribution of small businesses by size of employment and sales; legal form of business, taxes, and net income; by industry; and by region of the country. This data will provide meaningful descriptions and the ability to understand trends over time regarding the changes in composition, industry, and geography of the small business sector. In addition to supporting good public policy at the national level, these data will also be of substantial value to state and local government as well as business development officials in understanding their regional economic dynamics. Coupled with BEA’s other products, such as GDP by State and Real State Personal Income, these new statistics will represent a wealth of new information to guide small business growth and policy. Beyond the public policy arena, expanding the Department’s data offerings to this essential constituency will only further enhance the ability of America’s entrepreneurs to innovate, grow, and lead successful businesses. There are no risks to the development and production of new data, and particularly not as it relates to a new satellite account focusing on small businesses. In this case, particularly given that no new data ESA - 26 EXHIBIT 12 – 15 collection is proposed (the new account will be built from existing, primarily administrative, data), and thus no additional burden will be placed on businesses to develop the necessary data. The opportunities presented by this proposal are considerable given the well-defined record of accomplishment of accurate, reliable, official statistical data providing the knowledge basis for economic growth as well as smart decisions in the public policy sector. Further, the benefit of this initiative to the Department goes to the heart of the Department’s role in economic policy – the Department is the primary source of actionable statistics on the state of the economy. Along with the daily provision of weather information, the weekly issuance of economic indicators is one of the Department’s most important and visible functions. Expanding the Department’s data offerings to such an important constituency is a highly valuable proposition for both the Department as well as policy and business sectors. The risk of not pursuing this proposal is perpetuating the continued lack of direct knowledge of the economic health of the small business sector and what that sector can tell us about the health of the overall economy. There is a clear need and desire for this information, as demonstrated by multiple efforts over the years by SBA and various trade associations to develop similar data sets. BEA is uniquely suited to develop this data set given its role as the custodian of the nation’s economic accounts. Further, data on small businesses published by BEA will have the official imprimatur of BEA as well as the full, symmetric, and broad access to the data that is true for all BEA data products. Also of importance is that, as a BEA data set, the Small Business Satellite Account will provide data in a consistent times series, as well as in a format and methodology consistent with all of BEA’s accounts thus allowing expanded analysis in full context. Given the role and importance of small businesses in economic growth and recovery, the addition of new and better information to assist small business decision-making and investment will only serve to support small business success. This is an outstanding opportunity for the Department to expand its service offering to this critical constituency. Costs are largely personnel in nature, with a $500k expected expenditure on data purchase. ESA - 27 EXHIBIT 12 – 15 Targets without increase FY 2016 FY 2017 FY 2018 FY 2019 FY 2020 Score on Customer Satisfaction Survey Greater than 4.0 Greater than 4.0 Greater than 4.0 Greater than 4.0 Greater than 4.0 Complete all Major Strategic Plan milestones related to improving the economic accounts Successfully complete related milestones Targets with increase FY 2016 FY 2017 FY 2018 FY 2019 FY 2020 Score on Customer Satisfaction Survey Greater than 4.0 Greater than 4.1 Greater than 4.1 Greater than 4.1 Greater than 4.1 Complete all Major Strategic Plan milestones related to improving the economic accounts Successfully complete additional milestones specifically tied to initiative goals Statement of Need and Economic Benefits The additional economic statistics resulting from the implementation of this proposal will provide policy makers, the Administration, and the Department of Commerce with key information to assess the economic health and capacity of the small business sector to engage in economic activity. Small businesses comprise a large portion of the business sector in the U.S. and are often the leading edge of economic growth and contraction; yet no current Federal statistical programs exist to provide a complete picture of the small business sector. While some features of the sector are measured in varying ways, this proposal will pull them together into a concise picture, allowing policy makers and business leaders to assess and anticipate small business economic capacity and respond accordingly. Specific economic benefits of this investment: • As has been demonstrated repeatedly since the introduction of regular, consistent, publicsector economic data in the 1930s, detailed and quality economic statistics contribute significantly to the overall stability of the economy, which itself contributes to economic growth. Specific cost savings: • While this proposal will not result in cost savings to BEA, it will result in significantly improved economic statistics. These improved and expanded statistics will provide the right information to develop policies and affect business investments that will improve U.S. competitiveness and create new jobs.

ESA - 28 EXHIBIT 12 – 15 Possible return on investment: • The return on investment to the Bureau, and the nation, is significant, as this initiative will serve to fill notable existing gaps in official government statistics and will provide highly valuable new detail on the small business sector, its composition, employment, and growth by region and industry. Of great value to economic policy makers, this new data will also be of high value to the business community, in particular small businesses. Major corporations have staffs of economists, advisors, and consultants assisting in interpreting and understanding the economy and guiding investments – small businesses do not. • Better statistics allow policies to be more accurately calibrated and optimized by permitting a more accurate assessment of their costs and benefits. The potential gains from this initiative will certainly far exceed the relatively small cost. Schedule and Milestones: FY16: Research and develop methodology; conduct outreach to stakeholders to gain additional information; and expand collaboration with other Federal agency stakeholders. FY17: Publish methodology papers and develop initial estimates; present and secure endorsement of methodology and initial estimates from BEA Advisory Committee FY18: Publish prototype satellite account FY19: Publish official data series Deliverables: Papers, prototype data series and final official data series published on an annual basis.
