Algorithms for correcting some obvious inconsistencies and rounding errors in business survey data
This paper describes methods for automatically detecting and correcting two systematic errors that are found in data collected for structural business statistics. It also discusses a simple heuristic...
Van GEKS naar de cycle methode
The GEKS method and several generalizations are discussed, including the cycle method
Scale Adjusted Volume Measurement of Educational Services
This exploratory paper presents a new method to measure the output of government-provided secondary education in the Netherlands. Transferred knowledge and skills, and not pupil-hours, are used as...
A framework for project architecture in the context of enterprise architecture
Dit paper van Ralph Foorthuis en Sjaak Brinkkemper beschrijft verscheidene architecturen op project niveau, indien geconformeerd wordt aan Enterprise Architecture. Onder de beschreven architecturen...
The creation and application of a new quality management model
This paper gives introduction to the OQM model, discusses its characteristics and advantages, and describes the applications of the model up to now.
Automatic editing with soft edits
The object of this paper is to present a new formulation of the error localisation problem which can distinguish between hard and soft edits
Measuring and Relating Aggregate and Subaggregate Productivity Change without Neoclassical Assumptions
This paper by Bert M. Balk considers the relation between (total factor) productivity measures for individual production units and those for aggregates. It avoids the making of all kinds of...
Imputation of numerical data under linear edit restrictions
A common problem faced by statistical offices is that data may be missing from collected data sets. The typical way to overcome this problem is to impute the missing data. In this paper we describe...
Representativity of the LISS panel
The analysis in this paper shows that certain groups are underrepresented in the LISS panel. Especially single person households, households with a high average age and households with first...
Design-based analysis of embedded experiments with applications in the Dutch Labour Force Survey
In this paper, design-based analysis of embedded experiments is generalized to experimental designs in which clusters of sampling units are randomized over the different treatments. Furthermore, test...

Productivity effects of innovation modes
This paper is a collaboration of Michael Polder and George van Leeuwen (CBS) with Pierre Mohnen and Wladimir Raymond (UNU-MERIT and University Maastricht). It investigates the effect of ICT and R&D...
Service lives and discard patterns of capital goods in the manufacturing industry, based on direct capital stock observations, the Netherlands
This paper presents methods and results with regard to the estimation of service lives and discard patterns, based on directly observed capital stock data and on discard surveys in the manufacturing...
Estimating accuracy for statistics based on register and survey data
In this paper, we consider the situation where data are collected from both registers and sample surveys. We show how the bootstrap resampling method can be applied in this situation, in order to...
Market structure, productivity and scale in European business services
Labour productivity in business-services industry tends to lag behind the rest of the economy. This paper investigates whether labour productivity in European business services is affected by...
Quality procedures for survey transitions, experiments and discontinuities
Surveys are often kept unchanged as long as possible. When a change is proposed, it is important to minimise the impact so as to minimise the inconvenience for users. This paper sets out the steps in...
Direct measurement of continuous job flows
In this paper we present how we can measure directly continuous creation and destruction flows for emplyee jobsfrom the Social Statistical Database (SSD), and how the flows are related with the...
Bootstrapping Combined Estimator based on Register and Sample Survey Data
This paper describes how the bootstrap resampling method may be used to assess the accuracy of estimates based on a combination of data from registers and sample surveys. We consider three different...
Sampling and estimation techniques for the implementation of new classification systems; the change-over from NACE Rev. 1.1 to NACE Rev. 2 in business surveys
This paper describes some of the methodological problems encountered with the change-over from the NACE Rev. 1.1 to the NACE Rev. 2 in business statistics. Different sampling and estimation...
Offshoring and productivity (growth) in Dutch manufacturing and service industries: An empirical asessment
In this paper the authors analyze the effect of offshoring on productivity (growth) while explicitly accounting for the presence of imperfect competition in the output market. The analysis suggests...
On the asymptotic error of a bivariate normal approximation with an application to simple random sampling
This paper gives a formula for the limiting error of the central limit theorem for the bivariate case. Insight this type of error simplifes the proofs of central limit theorems in probability...
Intangible capital in the Netherlands: A benchmark
This paper comprises a first attempt to provide a comprehensive measure on spending on intangible capital in the Netherlands. We replicate the approach pioneered by Corrado, Hulten and Sichel (2004,...
Deductive imputation with the deducorrect package
Numerical and categorical data used for statistical analyses is often plagued with missing values and inconsistencies. In many cases, a number of missing values may be derived, based on the...
