Abstract: Purpose - This paper aims to introduce the history and major achievement of the Chinese private enterprise survey (CPES), which is one of the most enduring large-scale nationwide sample surveys in China, providing important micro firm-level data for understanding and studying the development of Chinese enterprises and entrepreneurs over the past 26 years. Design/methodology/approach - The main body of this paper is based on a bibliometric analysis of all literature using CPES until 2017. Findings - This paper discusses problems that users may encounter during data mining. By doing so, it can assist other researchers to get a better understanding of what has been done (e.g. journals, topics, scholars and institutions) and do their research in a more targeted way. Research limitations/implications - As members of the survey project team, the authors also take a prospect of the future data design and use, as well as offer some suggestions about how to use the CPES data to improve high-quality development and business environment evaluation in China. Originality/value - This paper is the first to provide an overall picture of academic papers in China and abroad that have used the CPES data.
