Sample design of the Monthly Restaurants, Caterers and Taverns Survey
Articles and reports: 12-001-X198000154837Description: Statistics on sales of establishments classified as restaurants, caterers and taverns have been collected since 1951. The sample has not been updated for births since 1968 and as a result, it is not representative of the current universe. This paper reports on several methodological aspects of the redesign. The sampling unit, sample design, sample size and allocation, data collection methods, edits and imputations, accumulations and calculations, frame and sample maintenance are described. The new survey will reduce manual procedures wherever possible. Collection, editing, imputation, tabulation and updating procedures will be completely computerized. Data collection will be decentralized and will take place via telephone. Issue Number: 1980001Author(s): Hidiroglou, M.A.; Bennett, R.; Eady, J.; Maisonneuve, L.Main Product:Survey Methodology
