The 2001 Participation and Activity Limitation Survey (PALS) is a post-censal survey of adults and children whose everyday activities are limited because of a condition or health problem. A sample of those persons who answered "Yes" to the 2001 Census disability filter questions were included in the PALS survey population. Approximately 35,000 adults and 8,000 children living in private, and some collective, households in the 10 provinces were selected to participate in the survey. The data were collected in the fall of 2001. The survey was last conducted after the 1991 Census under the title of the 1991 Health and Activity Limitation Survey (HALS). This report presents an overview of the methodological and content changes between the 1991 HALS and the 2001 PALS. The major differences include new census disability filter questions, a new sampling plan and new questionnaire content.

Like most statistical agencies, Statistics Canada publishes three Gross Domestic Product (GDP) series. These are the output-based GDP, the income-based GDP and the expenditure-based GDP. This document is aimed at describing the concepts, definitions, classifications and statistical methods underlying the output-based GDP series, also known as GDP by industry or simply monthly GDP.

The report is organized into seven chapters. Chapter 1 defines what GDP by industry is, describes its various uses and how it connects with the other components of the Canadian System of National Accounts. Chapter 2 deals with the calculation of the GDP by industry estimates. Chapter 3 examines industry and commodity classification schemes. Chapter 4 discusses the subject of deflation. The choice of deflators, the role of the base year and the method of rebasing are all addressed in this chapter. Chapter 5 looks at such technical issues as benchmarking, trading day and seasonal adjustment. Chapter 6 is devoted to the presentation of the GDP by industry, detailing the format, release dates and modes of dissemination, as well as the need and the frequency of revising the estimates. Finally, Chapter 7 reviews the historical development of monthly GDP from 1926 to the present.

Institutions in the higher education sector usually have records of funds received by them specifically for research and development , and some can provide lists of research projects carried out by staff. The research and development expenditure estimates are based on reports of payments awarded to institutions through the annual survey of the Canadian Association of University Business Officers (CAUBO).

Gross domestic expenditures on research and development (GERD) represents total research and development expenditures performed in a country's national territory during a given year. GERD includes R&D performed within a country and funded from abroad but excludes payments sent abroad for research and development performed in other countries.

This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.

Research programs building on population-based, longitudinal administrative data and record-linkage techniques are found in England, Scotland, the United States (the Mayo Clinic), Western Australia and Canada. These systems can markedly expand both the methodological and the substantive research in health and health care.

This paper summarizes published, Canadian data quality studies regarding registries, hospital discharges, prescription drugs, and physician claims. It makes suggestions for improving registries, facilitating record linkage and expanding research into social epidemiology. New trends in case identification and health status measurement using administrative data have also been noted. And the differing needs for data quality research in each province have been highlighted.

Leslie Kish long advocated the use of the "rolling sample" design. With non-overlapping, monthly panels that can be cumulated over different lengths of time for domains of different sizes, the rolling sample design enables a single survey to serve multiple purposes. The Census Bureau's new American Community Survey uses such a rolling sample design with annual averages to measure change at the state level, and three-year or five-year moving averages to describe progressively smaller domains. This paper traces Kish's influence on the development of the American Community Survey, and discusses some practical methodological issues that had to be addressed during the implementation of the design.

"Remembering Leslie Kish" provides us with a personal view of his many contributions to the international development of statistics. One of the elements that made his contributions so special and effective was the "Kish approach". The characteristic features of this approach include: identifying what is important; formulating and answering practical questions; seeking patterns and frameworks; and above all, persisting in the promotion of good ideas. Areas in which his technical contributions have made the most impact on practical survey work in developing countries have been identified. A unique aspect of Leslie's contribution is the motivation he created for the development of a world-wide community of survey samplers.

Since 1996, the Census Bureau has been creating Web Computerized Self-Administered Questionnaires (CSAQs). These electronic questionnaires have some data quality advantages over paper questionnaires such as the availability of online help; pre-loaded data; the use of interactive edits (which allows respondents to correct their responses as they are entered); and, for establishment surveys, the ability to import data from spreadsheets. This paper provides an overview of the Census Bureau's Web CSAQs. Each of the Web CSAQ design features promoting data quality are explained, as well as the features that impose data quality obstacles. Finally, some recent, empirical, data quality results from both establishment and household surveys are presented.

Over the past few years, Statistics New Zealand (SNZ) has experienced an increase in the volume of business survey data supplied by e-mail. However, up until now, SNZ has not had the business processes available to support electronic collection in a way that meets both the needs of SNZ and data suppliers. To this end, SNZ has invested a lot of effort over the last year in investigating how best to approach the problems and opportunities presented by electronic data collection. This paper outlines SNZ's plans to move the e-mail supplied data to a secure lodgement facility and the future development of an internet-based data collection system. It also presents a case study of the Monthly Retail Trade Survey data currently supplied by e-mail. This case study illustrates some of the benefits of electronic data, but also examines some of the costs to the organization and the data quality problems encountered. It also highlights the need to consider the data collection methodology within the wider context of the total survey cycle.

This paper summarizes recent Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) methodological developments and other experiences with electronic data reporting (EDR). It deals particularly with the part of EDR loosely defined as 'e-forms', or screen-based direct collection instruments, where the respondent manually enters all or most of the data. In this context, the paper covers recent ABS experiences and current work, but does not revisit the historical EDR work or cover other developments in Australia outside the ABS.

Samples sizes in small population areas are typically very small. As a result, customary, area-specific, direct estimators of Small Area Means do not provide acceptable quality in terms of Mean Square Error (MSE). Indirect estimators that borrow strength from related areas by linking models based on similar auxiliary data are now widely used for small area estimation. Such linking models are either implicit (as in the case of synthetic estimators) or explicit (as in the case of model-based estimators). In the Frequentist approach, the quality of an indirect estimator is measured by its estimated MSE while the posterior variance of the Small Area Mean is used in the Bayesian approach. This paper reviews some recent work on estimating MSE and the evaluation of posterior variance.

This paper describes joint research by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and Southampton University regarding the evaluation of several different approaches to the local estimation of International Labour Office (ILO) unemployment. The need to compare estimators with different underlying assumptions has led to a focus on evaluation methods that are (partly at least) model-independent. Model-fit diagnostics that have been considered include: various residual procedures, cross-validation, predictive validation, consistency with marginals, and consistency with direct estimates within single cells. These diagnostics have been used to compare different model-based estimators with each other and with direct estimators.

The Sawmill Survey is a voluntary census of sawmills in Great Britain. It is limited to fixed mills using domestically-grown timber. Three approaches to assess the coverage of this survey are described:

(1) A sample survey of the sawmilling industry from the UK's business register, excluding businesses already sampled in the Sawmill Survey, is used to assess the undercoverage in the list of known sawmills; (2) A non-response follow-up using local knowledge of regional officers of the Forestry Commission, is used to estimate the sawmills that do not respond (mostly the smaller mills); and (3) A survey of small-scale sawmills and mobile sawmills (many of these businesses are micro-enterprises) is conducted to analyse their significance.

These three approaches are synthesized to give an estimate of the coverage of the original survey compared with the total activity identified, and to estimate the importance of micro-enterprises to the sawmilling industry in Great Britain.

It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.The United States' Census 2000 operations were more innovative and complex than ever before. State population totals were required to be produced within nine months and, using the coverage measurement survey, adjusted counts were expected within one year. Therefore, all operations had to be implemented and completed quickly with quality assurance (QA) that had both an effective and prompt turnaround. The QA challenges included: getting timely information to supervisors (such as enumerator re-interview information), performing prompt checks of "suspect" work (such as monitoring contractors to ensure accurate data capture), and providing reports to headquarters quickly. This paper presents these challenges and their solutions in detail, thus providing an overview of the Census 2000 QA program.

Statistics Canada's annual Economic Conference provides a forum for the exchange of empirical research among business, government, research and labour communities. The conference is also a means to promote economic and socio-economic analyses while subjecting existing data to critical assessment as part of an ongoing process of statistical development and review. This year's theme was Innovation in an Evolving Economy. At the May 6-7, 2002 conference there were 12 presentations, based directly on the analysis of Science, Innovation and Electronic Information Division (SIEID) data. These presentations were given by SIEID analysts, by Statistics Canada analysts in other groups, by facilitated access researchers and by analysts using published or commissioned estimates.
