The increased interest in data on entrepreneurship and economic conditions of local character determines the need for systematic expansion of the information provided by economic statistics. The economic need to reduce the costs of creating the official statistics and the pressure to reduce burdens on business units and statistical reporting are limitations. Reconciling these expectations is not easy. On the one hand there is a need to modernize research methodology towards increasing the use of administrative systems. On the other hand, particular attention should be paid to maintaining the proper communication of official statistics with respondents and data users. These projects take on a special dimension in the short-term business statistics, due to the large number and frequency of research. This article presents the challenges and prospects for short-term statistics of enterprises against the existing rules and business conditions.

The paper presents results of a study which attempted to use spatial econometric methods in indirect estimation of certain characteristics for small, medium-sized and large enterprises in the provinces of Poland. To improve the accuracy of the estimate, the taxonomy elements were taken into account, wherein the spatial autocorrelation was used to identify groups of similar provinces. The study was relied on data from the DG-1 survey conducted by the Statistical Office in Poznan, which provides the basis for most of the short-term indicators used to describe enterprise activity in Poland.
