Ensuring the quality of statistics using scientific methods
CBS uses scientifically proven methods to guarantee the quality of its products and services.
Exploring the GK price index
The present paper is about a particular type of price index, called the GK price index (named after Geary and Khamis) and some of its variants. Some of their properties are investigated.

Methodological description of the Consumer Confidence Survey during the Corona crisis.
Small area estimation of sickness absence indicators
Discussion paper about a method to estimate detailed figures on sickness absence for the Health and Wellbeing branch
The role of causal modelling in official statistics
Causal modelling is of interest to augment the interpretation of data published by national statistical institutes. An exploration of the relevant methods as well as a case study in the domain of...
Time series modelling of mobility trends, 1999-2022
Discussion paper about a method to estimate detailed mobility trends corrected for discontinuities
CBS switches to new method for measuring business confidence
From July 2023, CBS will use a new method to measure business confidence based on the results of the Netherlands Business Survey (COEN).
A note on efficient audit sample selection
Statistical output, e.g. totals or means of a target variable, are often published for subpopulations that are defined by categorical domain variables (such as categories of educational level,...
Stochastically reconstructing business production networks
Analysing business production networks is a pioneering field for national statistical institutes. The application of network reconstruction methods are the main focus of this paper.
Synthetic data opens up possibilities in the statistical field
The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) recently released a new handbook, ‘Synthetic Data for Official Statistics’, to help get statistical institutes started in producing their own...

International reference work covers diverse business statistics expertise
A truly international reference work, with 36 chapters covering the latest state of play in all facets of business statistics production.
Helmholtz decomposition for digraphs
The present paper is about a concept from analysis, namely the Helmholtz decomposition of vector fields that can be translated into a similar concept for certain directed graphs, also called the...
SDC and special focus groups: a European perspective
Publications on small, special focus groups call for accurate application of statistical disclosure control. To that end, perturbative methods may be useful. Proper communication thereof is...

Elastic energy of networks
The paper is about invariants of networks by labeling and relabeling its nodes or arcs. These invariants can be used to classify networks as to their complexity, or to distinguish non-isomorphic...
Redistribution of mass and probabilities
Models to transport goods or matter can also be used to disaggregate probability measures defined on 2D-tables.
Ensembles of networks
About viewing a given network as a realization of a network which belongs to a certain set of networks, called an ensemble. It is comparable to viewing a population as being generated from a...
CBS and UvA in collaboration to solve social problems
It sounds like science fiction: a ‘digital twin’ of society that policy-makers can use to resolve complex social problems.
Topological anonymity in networks
