The design of a stratified simple random sample without replacement from a finite population deals with two main issues: the definition of a rule to partition the population into strata, and the allocation of sampling units in the selected strata. This article examines a tree-based strategy which plans to approach jointly these issues when the survey is multipurpose and multivariate information, quantitative or qualitative, is available. Strata are formed through a hierarchical divisive algorithm that selects finer and finer partitions by minimizing, at each step, the sample allocation required to achieve the precision levels set for each surveyed variable. In this way, large numbers of constraints can be satisfied without drastically increasing the sample size, and also without discarding variables selected for stratification or diminishing the number of their class intervals. Furthermore, the algorithm tends not to define empty or almost empty strata, thus avoiding the need for strata collapsing aggregations. The procedure was applied to redesign the Italian Farm Structure Survey. The results indicate that the gain in efficiency held using our strategy is nontrivial. For a given sample size, this procedure achieves the required precision by exploiting a number of strata which is usually a very small fraction of the number of strata available when combining all possible classes from any of the covariates.

This paper summarizes the results of several research studies conducted by the Micro-economic Analysis Division of Statistics Canada that investigate the impact of advanced technology use on business performance. These studies combine establishment-level survey data on advanced technology practices with longitudinal data that measure changes in relative performance. Together, these studies provide strong evidence that technology strategies have considerable bearing on competitive outcomes after other correlates of plant performance are taken into account. Advanced communications technologies warrant special emphasis, as the use of these technologies has been shown to be closely associated with changes in relative productivity.
Release date: 2007-12-05 - 5. Holistic response management of business surveys ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X20050019440Description:
For a number of years, Statistics Canada has been taking incremental steps to improve its survey programs through the use of tax data substitution, content fine tuning and earlier data releases. The approach is to focus survey collection and analysis on the large, complex enterprises where tax data is insufficient to meet the needs of the Canadian statistical system.
Release date: 2007-03-02 - 6. Progress in collecting business data ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X20050019457Description:
The administrative data project has helped reduce the response burden of small and medium-sized business. We are continuing this work and expanding our objectives to maximize the use of administrative data. In addition, by exploring the single window reporting method, we plan to decrease the response burden of complex enterprises while ensuring consistent data collection. We will have to overcome some major challenges, some of which may be methodological in nature. Let's see what the future holds!
Release date: 2007-03-02 - Articles and reports: 11-522-X20050019465Description:
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.

The paper examines the possible explanations for deviations from purchasing power parity (PPP) between Canada and the United States in the 1980s and 1990s and investigates both the productivity effect and the underlying PPP assumption for tradable goods.
Release date: 2002-05-30 - 10. Larger cinemas outperform smaller ones ArchivedArticles and reports: 87-004-X20010015784Geography: CanadaDescription:
The precarious financial condition of cinemas has been much in the press in recent months. Canada's largest cinema chain - Cineplex Odeon Canada - filed for bankruptcy protection this year and plans to close many of its low performing theatres in Canada. The bankruptcy protection filing will help the company restructure by allowing it to break or renegotiate many of its expensive leases.

- 1. Unified Enterprise Survey Information Package ArchivedSurveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 68F0015XDescription:
The purpose of this paper is to provide some general background and describe the methodology of the pilot year Unified Enterprise Survey (UES). It also illustrates the role of the Unified Enterprise Survey Program (UESP) within The Project to Improve Provincial Economic Statistics (PIPES) program. This information package is targeted toward external clients, for example the Provincial Focal Points, enabling them to assess future data releases planned by industry sector. The scope of this information package will be expanded as subsequent data releases over the next six months or so provide more industry specific details for the seven new pilot industries included in the 1997 UES. This document is approximately twenty-two pages in length and is to be offered at no charge to callers requesting information on the UES.

The Unified Enterprise Survey (UES) incorporates several annual business surveys into an integrated survey framework. It aims to ensure Statistics Canada receives consistent and integrated data from many types and sizes of businesses, with enough detail to produce accurate provincial statistics. This year, 17 industry surveys are included in the UES, as well as two cross-industry surveys of large enterprises.
