Abstract: Recently the Italian National Institute of Statistics - Istat - implemented a Business frame where several variables are collected from administrative registers. Nevertheless, these variables do not cover all statistical interests and some variables are collected only by the Small and Medium Enterprise survey – SME survey. The paper deals with the estimation of totals of variables strictly observed in Istat SME survey and proposes an estimation procedure, based on the projection estimator, exploiting the variables of the Business frame and coherent with respect to the totals of the variables in the frame. The result is an integrated output in the Business frame and a flexible tool useful for other statistical purposes. Inferential properties are shown theoretically and empirically and conditions to obtain unbiased estimates are pointed out.
