1. Sociodemographic differences in recreational screen time before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada
Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400500001
Description: Over the last several years, recreational screen time has been increasing. During the COVID-19 pandemic, recreational screen time rose among Canadian youth and adults, and those who increased screen time had poorer self-reported mental health. Using data from the 2017, 2018, and 2021 Canadian Community Health Survey, the objective of this study was to compare recreational screen time behaviours before (2018) and during (2021) the pandemic, looking at patterns by sociodemographic subgroups of the Canadian population.

2. A comparison of investments of official language minority owned businesses in rural and urban areas
Articles and reports: 11-621-M2024005
Description: This analysis compares the investment efforts of official language minority (OLM) owned businesses depending on whether they are located in a rural or urban area. The study is based on a model that uses a seemingly unrelated regression equation (SURE) system estimator to simultaneously assess the impact of determinants that explain the investment of businesses in rural and urban areas and to statistically test the differences between the two areas.

3. Impact assessment of business innovation and growth support programs on firm performance in Canada using the CDM model
Articles and reports: 18-001-X2024002
Description: This study examined the impact of federal business innovation and growth support (BIGS) programs on firm financial performance measured using revenue, profit and employment metrics. Using Statistics Canada’s Business Linkable File Environment data, the study observed the effects of BIGS on exporting versus non-exporting firms and Canadian- versus U.S.-owned firms from 2015 to 2020. Unlike previous studies that relied mainly on survey data, one significant aspect of this research was the use of a new dataset, enabling panel data structures and models to be employed. To assess the impact of BIGS and research and development spending on three interrelated measures of firm financial performance, the CDM (Crépon et al., 1998) framework was adopted.

10. Where do 15- to -17-year-olds in Canada get their sexual health information?
Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400100001
Description: Sexual health education delivered in school, provided by parents, or provided by other formal sources has been associated with increased rates of condom use and improvements in many other sexual risk behaviours. Friends and the internet are other information sources, although quality and accuracy of information are not always as high. The objective of this study is to update Canadian information about sources of sex education self-reported by adolescents and the related resource of having an adult to talk with about puberty and sexual health. Data from the 2019 Canadian Health Survey on Children and Youth were used to examine the sources typically used to obtain sexual health information by 15- to 17-year-olds, as well as the prevalence and characteristics of adolescents reporting not having an adult to talk with about sexual health and puberty.

8. QR prediction for statistical data integration
Articles and reports: 12-001-X202300200009
Description: In this paper, we investigate how a big non-probability database can be used to improve estimates of finite population totals from a small probability sample through data integration techniques. In the situation where the study variable is observed in both data sources, Kim and Tam (2021) proposed two design-consistent estimators that can be justified through dual frame survey theory. First, we provide conditions ensuring that these estimators are more efficient than the Horvitz-Thompson estimator when the probability sample is selected using either Poisson sampling or simple random sampling without replacement. Then, we study the class of QR predictors, introduced by Särndal and Wright (1984), to handle the less common case where the non-probability database contains no study variable but auxiliary variables. We also require that the non-probability database is large and can be linked to the probability sample. We provide conditions ensuring that the QR predictor is asymptotically design-unbiased. We derive its asymptotic design variance and provide a consistent design-based variance estimator. We compare the design properties of different predictors, in the class of QR predictors, through a simulation study. This class includes a model-based predictor, a model-assisted estimator and a cosmetic estimator. In our simulation setups, the cosmetic estimator performed slightly better than the model-assisted estimator. These findings are confirmed by an application to La Poste data, which also illustrates that the properties of the cosmetic estimator are preserved irrespective of the observed non-probability sample.

9. Statistical methods for sampling cross-classified populations under constraints
Articles and reports: 12-001-X202300200011
Description: The article considers sampling designs for populations that can be represented as a N × M matrix. For instance when investigating tourist activities, the rows could be locations visited by tourists and the columns days in the tourist season. The goal is to sample cells (i, j) of the matrix when the number of selections within each row and each column is fixed a priori. The i^th row sample size represents the number of selected cells within row i; the j^th column sample size is the number of selected cells within column j. A matrix sampling design gives an N × M matrix of sample indicators, with entry 1 at position (i, j) if cell (i, j) is sampled and 0 otherwise. The first matrix sampling design investigated has one level of sampling, row and column sample sizes are set in advance: the row sample sizes can vary while the column sample sizes are all equal. The fixed margins can be seen as balancing constraints and algorithms available for selecting such samples are reviewed. A new estimator for the variance of the Horvitz-Thompson estimator for the mean of survey variable y is then presented. Several levels of sampling might be necessary to account for all the constraints; this involves multi-level matrix sampling designs that are also investigated.

10. Comments by Camelia Goga and Anne Ruiz-Gazen on “Jean-Claude Deville’s contributions to survey theory and official statistics”: Jean-Claude Deville: Mathematics lover, high-flying researcher, and visionary
Articles and reports: 12-001-X202300200013
Description: Jean-Claude Deville is one of the most prominent researcher in survey sampling theory and practice. His research on balanced sampling, indirect sampling and calibration in particular is internationally recognized and widely used in official statistics. He was also a pioneer in the field of functional data analysis. This discussion gives us the opportunity to recognize the immense work he has accomplished, and to pay tribute to him. In the first part of this article, we recall briefly his contribution to the functional principal analysis. We also detail some recent extension of his work at the intersection of the fields of functional data analysis and survey sampling. In the second part of this paper, we present some extension of Jean-Claude’s work in indirect sampling. These extensions are motivated by concrete applications and illustrate Jean-Claude’s influence on our work as researchers.
