This paper gives an overview of the different sources of errors that occur with this methodology and presents some results on the impact of this mixed approach. The research has focused on micro-comparisons and has attempted to quantify the impact on measures of change.

This paper sets out a number of summary analyses that support the recommendation to draw a top up sample in the integration of Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) and Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) data.

This report documents the edit and imputation approach taken in processing Wave 1 income data from the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID).

This paper describes the collection method and content of the 1997 Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) income interview.

Series Description - The Nation Series (1996 Census of Population) is the first released series where basic data at a high level of geography are presented on variables collected by the 1996 Census.There are a total of 143 tables in the Nation Series which cover all census variables.The Complete Edition CDROM, Catalogue number 93F0020XCB96004 contains the cumulative set of all data tables from all Nation Series CDROMs.This comprehensive CDROM provides a full range of statistics on characteristics of the population which includes:Demographic information (100% data only for Age and Sex, Marital Status and Common-law Unions); Families (Number, Type and Structure); Structural Type of Dwelling and Household Size; Immigration and Citizenship; Languages; Aboriginal Origin, Ethnic Origin and Visible Minorities (Population Groups); Labour Market Activities and Household Activities (unpaid work); Place of Work and Mode of Transportation; Education; Mobility and Migration; Family, Dwellings and Household Information; as well as Individual and Family Income. Selected variables, such as occupation, are available to illustrate the analytical potential of the data based on cross-tabulations (i.e. sex by age and occupation).These data are national in coverage and provide information for Canada, provinces and territories and, in some tabulations, census metropolitan area levels. Some tables include comparisons with data from earlier censuses to provide an historical perspective.A variety of Nation Series data table extracts presenting social and economic characteristics of the Canadian population are available at the Statistics Canada Census Web site (www.statcan.gc.ca).

This paper discusses the use of some simple diagnostics to guide the formation of nonresponse adjustment cells. Following Little (1986), we consider construction of adjustment cells by grouping sample units according to their estimated response probabilities or estimated survey items. Four issues receive principal attention: assessment of the sensitivity of adjusted mean estimates to changes in k, the number of cells used; identification of specific cells that require additional refinement; comparison of adjusted and unadjusted mean estimates; and comparison of estimation results from estimated-probability and estimated-item based cells. The proposed methods are motivated and illustrated with an application involving estimation of mean consumer unit income from the U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey.
