Micro data linking (MDL) has become an important cornerstone in the production of new statistical insights. MDL is now widely acknowledged as a strategic activity to avoid increasing the respondent burden when meeting new user demands on e.g. globalisation. MDL is a strong method in combining micro data on individual entities such as enterprises, people or in a combination of both (Linked Employer-Employee Data). MDL is one of the most powerful methods to answer urgent questions on emerging policy or research topics such as the interconnectedness of the economies and its consequences for jobs, income and growth. Not only for national purposes, where economic behavior and dynamics by enterprises can be expressed in terms of job dynamics, income and welfare for its citizens, but also from an international perspective where consistent and coherent indicators play an important role. Firstly, the article addresses the central role of the Business Register for any MDL approach related to business statistics; secondly the current official statistics based on MDL such as Trade by Enterprise Characteristics (TEC) are described. Thirdly, the most common use of MDL in terms of producing experimental statistics are described, including linked employer-employee data (LEED).
