Sampling and estimation techniques for household panels
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...
Disentangling mode-specific selection and measurement bias in social surveys
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...
Quantifying the effect of classification errors on the accuracy of mixed-source statistics
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...
General approaches for consistent estimation based on administrative data and surveys
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...
Waste accounts in a NAMEA framework
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...
Structural time series modelling of the monthly unemployment rate in a rotating panel
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....
Cross your border and look around
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...
Selecting adaptive survey design strata with partial R-indicators
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,...
Automatic editing with hard and soft edits
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...
NA/11 Backward and forward linkages with an application to the Dutch agro-industrial complex,
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...
An empirical validation of R-indicators
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...
Quality reporting and sufficient quality
Modernization of official statistics leads not only to other production processes and other products but also to another way of quality approach.
Research on edit and imputation methodology; the troughput programme
This research programme focuses on methodology for the statistical process between input (data gathering and storage) and output (estimation, analysis and publication). This “troughput...
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 VAT and survey data for short term business statistics
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...
R-indexes for the comparison of different fieldwork strategies and data collection modes
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...

How to judge the reliability of provisional National Accounts
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...

Nonresponse in the recruitment of an internet panel based on a probability sample
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...
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...
Consistency and beyond - improving quality of national accounts estimates in practice
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...
NA/46 An environmental module and the complete system of national accounts
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...
