A problem with using households as sampling units in the sample design of panels is the instability of these sampling units over time. Changes in the household composition affect the inclusion...

In 2011, Statistics Netherlands conducted a large-scale mixed-mode experiment linked to the Crime Victimization Survey. The experiment consisted of two waves; one wave with random assignment to one...

Estimating the effect of non-sampling errors on the accuracy of mixed-source statistics is not straightforward. Here we simulate the bias and variance of the turnover estimates in car trade due to...

National statistical institutes (NSIs) fulfill an important role as providers of objective and undisputed statistical information on many different aspects of society. To this end NSIs try to...

In this study physical supply and use tables for solid waste residuals are compiled for 2003. The motive for developing new Dutch waste accounts was the need to improve the current waste accounts and...

In this paper a multivariate structural time series model is described that accounts for the panel design of the Dutch Labour Force Survey and is applied to estimate monthly unemployment rates....

This papers analyses which determinants are relevant for catching up to the global and national technological frontier. We focus on innovation, human capital, technology transfers and competition as...

Recent survey literature shows an increasing interest in survey designs that adapt data collection to characteristics of the survey target population. Given a specified quality objective function,...

Soft edit rules, i.e. constraints which identify (combinations of)values that are suspicious but not necessarily incorrect, are an importantelement of many traditional, manual editing processes. It...

Harthoorn, R. (1985).Some industries induce production in other industries. An elegant method is developed for calculating forward and backward linkages avoiding double counting. For 1981 these...

In a previous paper (discussion paper 07002, Schouten and Cobben) we introduced so-called R-indicators. These indicators attempt to measure the representativeness of the response to a survey. In the...

Modernization of official statistics leads not only to other production processes and other products but also to another way of quality approach.

This research programme focuses on methodology for the statistical process between input (data gathering and storage) and output (estimation, analysis and publication). This “troughput...

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...

Monthly Short Term Business statistics at Statistics Netherlands can be based on survey data, VAT records or a combination of these two data sources. Both sources are incomplete when statistics need...

Many survey organisations focus on the response rate as being the quality indicator for the impact of non-response bias. However, it is not true in general that higher response rates imply smaller...

Special issue: Integration of household surveys. Design, advantages and methods

It is not only important to produce good quality statistics, but also that the users of these statistics believe that they are of good quality. Therefore, it is necessary that the subsequent...

In this paper we study the selectivity in the recruitment of respondents for one of CentERdata’s Internet panels (the CentERpanel). This recruitment is based on a probability sample. It involves...

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...

The system of national accounts shows a consistent quantitative overview of the economic process of a country. Consistency however is not a gurantee for good quality. In this paper an overview is...

Boo, Abram J. De, Peter R. Bosch, Cor N. Gorter and Steven J. Keuning (1991).A linkage between environmental data and the National Accounts is often limited to the production accounts. This paper...
