This paper investigates competition and its relation to productivity growth. The results indicate that firms need time to adjust to changes in competition, raising productivity afterwards. Results...

Reininga, Ted and Gerrit Zijlmans (1992).The Dutch Quarterly Flash (QF) is, just like the regular Quarterly Accounts (QA), a fully integrated statistic based on a quarterly updated input-output...

Recently, various indicators have been proposed as indirect measures of nonresponse error in surveys. They employ auxiliary variables to detect nonrepresentative or unbalanced response. A class of...

This report describes the validity testing of a multi-item scale of global life satisfaction, namely the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). This scale has been proposed as an alternative to...

In this paper, a generalisation of the Fellegi-Holt paradigm is proposed that can incorporate various complex edit operations in a natural way. In addition, an algorithm is outlined that may be used...

Inference in official statistics is traditionally motivated from a design-based perspective, with the model-based approach being gradually adopted in specific circumstances. We take this shifting...

Statistics Netherlands is increasingly making use of administrative and other secondary data sources for the production of statistics. This approach makes Statistics Netherlands highly dependent on...

In recent years, the importance of the households sector in measuring economic welfare has increasingly been recognised, and the development of additional indicators to measure inequalities is...

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...

Assessment of selectivity of Big data sets is generally not straightforward, if at all possible. Some approaches are proposed in this paper. It is argued that the degree to which selectivity – or its...

Van Eck, R. and B. Kazemier (1986).This paper presents the results of extensive and rigorous survey research into the black labour market in the Netherlands. It reveals the quantitative relevance of...

Survey nonresponse occurs when members of a sample cannot or will not participate in the survey. It remains a problem despite the development of statistical methods that aim to reduce nonresponse. In...

This paper presents and discusses some new results on the second-order inclusion probabilities of a systematic probability proportional to size sample drawn from a randomly ordered list, also called...

Organizational change (OC) is an important complementarity factor in the process of creating business value from information technology (IT) investments.. This paper investigates complementarities...

De Haan, Mark, Steven Keuning and Peter Bosch (1993).In this paper, environmental indicators are integrated into a National Accounting Matrix including Environmental Accounts (NAMEA) and are put on a...

Economic indicators such as consumption do not develop in isolation. The basic idea underlying the conditions monitors is that developments in macro-economic indicators are driven by a relatively low...

Since design-based methods like the generalized regression estimator have large design variances in the case of small sample sizes, model-based techniques can be considered as an alternative. In this...

Nonresponse in surveys may effect representativity, and therefore lead to biased estimates. A first step in exploring a possible lack of representativity is to estimate response probabilities. This...

Mixed-mode surveys are known to be susceptible to mode-dependent selection and measurement effects, collectively referred to as mode effects. The use of different data collection modes within the...

Den Bakker, Gert P. and Jan de Gijt (1994).This paper deals with the Dutch interwar labour force data. Starting with census data the estimation of the working and non-working labour force by industry...

This paper by Floris van Ruth describes how the current stance of the business cycle can be derived from a mixed set containing a limited number of selected indicators. Using the Netherlands and the...

In all European Union countries the classification of economic activities that is used in the Business Surveys is currently rebased from NACE Rev 1.1 to NACE Rev. 2. This paper describes some of the...

Statistical processes can be very complex, and it is not uncommon that they are designed and implemented as one big tangle of statistical activities. This paper is an initiative to structure and...

Reininga, Ted, Gerrit Zijlmans and Ron Janssen (1992).Since 1989-IV, the Dutch Central Bureau of Statistics has made preliminary estimates of quarterly macro-economic figures at about 8 weeks after...

In this study, a different temporal disaggregation approach is tested for producing a monthly series from a quarterly statistic when monthly observations are lacking. Monthly realisations are...
