<span class="h2">7.6 Battery IV. Characteristics of the economic unit</span>
<br />The purpose of this battery of questions is to identify some important characteristics of the economic units, taking as a starting point the establishment in which the people who are employed perform their main job. Some of these characteristics are: name, proprietary sector, type of activity to which it is dedicated, the way in which it operates (whether or not it is registered under the Law of Corporations, in the case of private companies and businesses, or the way in which the public administration of this country operates), availability of premises and accounting records, as well as the geographic level in which it performs, in the case of private companies and businesses.</p>
<p><span class="em">Question 4</span>
<br />This question is asked to employed persons, in order to find out if the economic unit for which they work has a name.
<br />[Omitted figure]</p>
<p><span class="ital">Name of the economic unit</span>. The trade name, business name or name with which a company, institution or business advertises itself.</p>
<p><span class="em">Question 4d</span>
<br />This question is asked to those who work for government institutions (including parastatal institutions), autonomous and non-governmental organizations, to learn specifically the institutional sector to which they belong.</p>
<p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p>Conceptual clarifications:
<br />In order to answer the requirements of the National Accounts System (SCN), this question groups economic units in two columns: legal-administrative, defined based on the way in which the political constitution of our country classifies institutions, and the second, based on the functional economic plan, that is, based on the way in which the institutions obtain their resources, the way in which they are administered and on whom they depend.</p>
<p><span class="ital">1. Legal-administrative level. </span>Under this focus the economic units are divided into three powers: legislative, executive and judicial. Below, the institutions that make up each power are specified in graph form.</p>
<p>Judicial Power (federal and state). In charge of overseeing compliance with the Constitution and laws derived from it. This power is represented by the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, the Electoral Court, the collegiate and unitary circuit courts, district courts and the Federal Judiciary Council.</p>
<p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p>Legislative Power (federal and state). Its main function consists of drafting laws, discussing the country's problems (or of the state, as applicable) and overseeing the actions of the other powers. This power is expressed through the Congress of the Union, represented by the Chambers of Representatives and Senators, and by the Legislative Assembly, in the case of the Federal District.</p>
<p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p>Executive Power (federal, state and municipal). Its main function consists of promulgating and enforcing the laws issued by the Congress of the Union, directing relations with other countries, freely appointing and removing office secretaries and other employees of the Union (whose appointment and removal are not determined in any other way in the constitution and in the laws), etc. The executive power of the President of the Republic is repeated, in some way, at the level of the following two political-administrative units: state and municipal.</p>
<p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p><span class="ital">2. Functional economic level. </span>Under this perspective the economic units are divided, first, according to the proprietary sector, into public or private. Within the public sector the following are distinguished:</p>
<div class="i1">- Autonomous bodies and non-profit institutions that receive financing and are administered by the government.<br />- Institutions that, while they do receive government financing, are not administered by it.</div><p>Finally, institutions that do not receive resources and are not administered by the government, that is, private sector institutions, are also grouped in this level.</p>
<p>The following graph shows the classification indicated:</p>
<p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p>Institutions administered by the government This classification groups the federal, state and municipal governments, schools, hospitals, production and service companies, and financial organizations.</p>
<p>The general government, that is, the offices and departments of the federal, state and municipal governments dedicated to administration of the nation's resources and assets, both directly and through the regulation and legislation of the economic, social and political practices, as well as the chambers of legislators and the armed forces. These units are characterized by not working for profit and not generating income. The form of financing of this sector is through taxes, fees, duties and recovery administered and distributed among the government agencies through assigned budgets.</p>
<p>The government may assign resources to different institutions and companies that provide services. In some of the companies or institutions, the government only participates by providing financial resources, but in others it has the authority to intervene in their management, both of the resources and of the company's organization.</p>
<p>Parastatal company. These are institutions in which the federal, state or local government holds more than 50 percent of the capital stock and there is a percentage of private capital to perform the activities of producing goods, marketing merchandise or providing services. One of their characteristics is that they obtain revenues for the goods or services made or provided.</p>
<p>Institutions with autonomy of organic and administrative management. In general terms it groups three types of economic units: autonomous bodies, non-profit institutions and political parties.</p>
<p>Autonomous bodies. This type of institution is characterized by having a legal status and its own equity, technical and budgetary autonomy. While its holders are required to provide records to other levels of government, they are not appointed directly (or unilaterally) by any of the three powers, nor are they administered through their officials.</p>
<p>Non-profit institutions. This type of institution is characterized by being dedicated to fulfilling a common social purpose or for the collective benefit. It includes organizations such as churches, schools, public charitable institutions, clinics and hospitals, legal aid societies, political organizations, professional associations, volunteer service institutions, museums, research institutions. See annex 1.</p>
<p>To classify the information by institutional sectors, according to the requirements of the National Accounts System, the information recorded in the preceding questions (4, 4a and 4b) must be analyzed together; as there is not always consistency between the classification of the information entered in question 4 and that in 4d, as each one has a different purpose.</p>
<p><span class="em">Structure of the question</span>
<br />Question 4d is divided into two sections, identified with the digits 1 and 2: a government institution and an institution not administered by the government, respectively; and code 9 to classify ambiguous responses in which all that is known is that it is an institution of public interest.</p>
<p>The first section is separated into 8 response options to group the institutions that are financed and administered by the government.</p>
<p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p>The second section includes, according to the type of main activity to which it is dedicated, in general terms, five types of institutions: private sector educational and hospitals; upper level education institutions and institutions dedicated to various activities, but which are financed by the government even when they have autonomy in their organic operation and in relation to decision making; non-profit civil institutions; international organizations and political parties.</p>

<p>Instructions:
<br /><span class="ital">Priority criteria</span>
<br />Taking into consideration that there are departments that perform more than one function, it was decided to define priority criteria when classifying the information:</p>
<div class="i1">1. Courts and congresses. When the information indicates that a person works for any of these institutions, circle sub-option 1.1, regardless of the level of government involved: federal, state or municipal.<br />2. Parastatal company. When the information refers to this type of economic unit, circle sub-option 1.2, regardless of the level of government to which the institution corresponds.<br />3. Provision of welfare, formal education and health services. When the information refers to government educational, medical or welfare institutions, prioritize this type of activity over the level of government to which it pertains. That is, circle sub-option 1.3.<br />4. Institutions dedicated to providing informal education are classified according to the level of government: federal, state or municipal: 1.4, 1.5 or 1.6, respectively.<br />5. Institutions dedicated to administration and management. Classified according to the level of government (1.4, 1.5 or 1.6, respectively). Its main activity consists of performing public administration and management activities. Institutions dedicated to this type of activity are Secretariats of State, general departments, offices and agencies linked directly to the executive power: institutes, councils and commissions, whose holders are designated, precisely, by the Executive Power.<br />6. Government institutions dedicated to providing cultural and entertainment services, such as museums, libraries, archaeological sites, planetariums, classified according to the level of government (federal, state or municipal, codes 1.4, 1.5 or 1.6, respectively) to which they pertain, even when they charge for their services, as they are not incorporated as companies with legal status of the institution or department on which they depend.<br />7. Educational and research institutions. When the institutions are dedicated to research and providing educational services at the master or doctoral level, the educational activity has priority, option 1.3 or 2.1, as applicable.<br />8. Hospital and research institutions. If an institution conducts hospital care activities and also research, the hospital service activity has priority, option 1.3 or 2.1, as applicable.</div><div class="i1">9. Financial institutions. When classifying, give priority to the financial character over the level of government: federal, state or municipal, option 1.7.<br />10. Non-profit institutions. Any institution incorporated as a civil association (AC), non-profit civil institution (SC), private charitable association (ABP) or private welfare institution (IAP), regardless of where its financing comes from, should be classified based on the main activity to which it is dedicated. Annex 1 presents specific examples of the correct classification of this type of institution throughout battery of questions 4.</div><p>Based on the rules of priority, as an example, this is how ISSSTE establishments should be classified:
