For this purpose the district [Kreis] should be a problem adequate reference on the observation level. This is owed to the functional demarcation of the [German] districts and data availability at this level.

Especially for such data which are not collected primary in the districts [for this specific statistical purpose] respectively if enterprises are acting multiregionally.Download Info
