  • 26. Standard Occupational Classification Archived
    Classification: 12-565-X
    Description:

    The Standard Occupational Classification provides a systematic classification structure to identify and categorize the entire range of occupational activity in Canada. This up-to-date classification is based upon, and easily related to, the National Occupational Classification. It consists of 10 broad occupational categories which are subdivided into major groups, minor groups and unit groups. Definitions and occupational titles are provided for each unit group. An alphabetical index of the occupational titles classified to the unit group level is also included.

  • 27. The Timeliness of Quarterly Income and Expenditure Accounts: An International Comparison Archived
    Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 13-604-M1993023
    Description:

    This paper reports the results of a survey of national Income and Expenditure Accounts (IEA) release date practices as reported by national statistical bureaus. This international survey was conducted by the author between January and March 1993 by means of a questionnaire mailed to statisticians of several countries.

    Respondents to the survey were asked on what date their preliminary IEA estimates for each of the four quarters of the 1991 calendar year were officially released. They were also asked to indicate the dates on which each of the subsequent four revised sets of estimates were released. To avoid the possibility of unwarranted generalizations from a single year's experience, respondents were asked whether 1991 was a typical year or if there were special circumstances that affected the release dates in this particular period. Finally, general information was sought on each country's official revision policy.

  • 28. Poisson-Poisson and binomial-Poisson sampling in forestry Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X199300114471
    Description:

    Binomial-Poisson and Poisson-Poisson sampling are introduced for use in forest sampling. Several estimators of the population total are discussed for these designs. Simulation comparisons of the properties of the estimators were made for three small forestry populations. A modification of the standard estimator used for Poisson sampling and a new estimator, called a modified Srivastava estimator, appear to be most efficient. The latter is unfortunately badly biased for all 3 populations.

  • 29. Stratified telephone survey designs Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X199300114472
    Description:

    Two stage random digit dialing procedures as developed by Mitofsky and elaborated by Waksberg are widely used in telephone sampling of the U.S. household population. Current alternative approaches have, relative to this procedure, coverage and cost deficiencies. These deficiencies are addressed through telephone sample designs which use listed number information to improve the cost-efficiency of random digit dialing. The telephone number frame is divided into a stratum in which listed number information is available at the 100-bank level and one for which no such information is available. The efficiencies of various sampling schemes for this stratified design are compared to simple random digit dialing and the Mitofsky-Waksberg technique. Gains in efficiency are demonstrated for nearly all such designs. Simplifying assumptions about the values of population parameters in each stratum are shown to have little overall impact on the estimated efficiency.

  • 30. Double sampling for stratification Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X199300114473
    Description:

    Double sampling is a common alternative to simple random sampling when there are expected to be gains from using stratified sampling, but the units cannot be assigned to strata prior to sampling. It is assumed throughout that the survey objective is estimation of the finite population mean. We compare simple random sampling and three allocation methods for double sampling: (a) proportional, (b) Rao’s (Rao 1973a, b) and (c) optimal. There is also an investigation of the effect on sample size selection of misspecification of an important design parameter.

  • 46. The labour market: Year-end review [1992] Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-010-X19930021570
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    By the end of 1992, a recovery appeared to be increasing its hold on the Canadian economy. A firming of employment and a pick-up in real wages helped to fuel higher household spending in the second half of the year. However, these positive developments were not enough to prevent the annual average unemployment rate from rising to a nine-year high of 11.3%

  • 1. The Distribution of GDP at Factor Cost by Sector Archived
    Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 13-604-M1993026
    Description:

    The Income and Expenditure Accounts (IEA) are structured in terms of four economic or institutional sectors, and transactors are grouped into homogeneous categories that play distinct roles in the economy. The Personal sector is concerned with individuals in their capacity as final consumers and as suppliers of labour. The Government sector centres on transactions by public authorities as they relate to taxation and public expenditure. The Profit-motivated Business sector consists of transactors producing goods and services for financial gain. The Non-resident sector shows all transactions taking place between resident economic agents and the rest of the world. Classifying transactors by similar motivation and behaviour into these broad groups is a useful tool that helps analyse the major players in the economy, their functions and interrelationships.

    The purpose of this paper is to develop quarterly estimates of gross domestic product (GDP) at factor cost in both current and constant prices for each of the institutional sectors within the IEA framework. The estimates of that will be shown, of the GDP, by sector, do not constitute a full production account, but nonetheless provide a measure of aggregate productive activity by sector of origin. They complement and extend the sector tables already available in the Income and Expenditure Accounts.
