Combining administrative and respondent data by the monthly Survey of Manufacturing

A recent development at Statistics Canada is the availability of monthly calendarized revenue data available from its Tax Data Division (TDD) through an agreement with Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA). This information has been shown to have a strong relationship with the revenue information collected by Statistics Canada's Monthly Survey of Manufacturing (MSM). This presentation will give a brief overview of the GST and the MSM and will concentrate on how the GST data were integrated into the survey process.
