Release date: 2016-12-16 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2016386Description:
This paper asks whether research and development (R&D) drives the level of competitiveness required to successfully enter export markets and whether, in turn, participation in export markets increases R&D expenditures. Canadian non-exporters that subsequently entered export markets in the first decade of the 2000s are found to be not only larger and more productive, as has been reported for previous decades, but also more likely to have invested in R&D. Both extramural R&D expenditures (purchased from domestic and foreign suppliers) and intramural R&D expenditures (performed in-house) increase the ability of firms to penetrate export markets. Exporting also has a significant impact on subsequent R&D expenditures; exporters are more likely to start investing in R&D. Firms that began exporting increased the intensity of extramural R&D expenditures in the year in which exporting occurred.

This study reports on the trends in the labour force participation rate (LFPR) of prime-aged women (25 to 54) in both Canada and the United States. The paper examines the population groups that have been behind the rising divergence in the LFPR between the two countries over the past two decades.

- 6. Women in scientific occupations in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-006-X201600114643Description:
This article provides information on women aged 25 to 64 in natural and applied science occupations in Canada (i.e. scientific occupations), using data from the 1991 and 2001 censuses and the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS). The employment conditions of men and women in these occupations are also examined, based on data from the Labour Force Survey (LFS).
Release date: 2016-06-24 - 7. A comparison between nonparametric estimators for finite population distribution functions ArchivedArticles and reports: 12-001-X201600114541Description:
In this work we compare nonparametric estimators for finite population distribution functions based on two types of fitted values: the fitted values from the well-known Kuo estimator and a modified version of them, which incorporates a nonparametric estimate for the mean regression function. For each type of fitted values we consider the corresponding model-based estimator and, after incorporating design weights, the corresponding generalized difference estimator. We show under fairly general conditions that the leading term in the model mean square error is not affected by the modification of the fitted values, even though it slows down the convergence rate for the model bias. Second order terms of the model mean square errors are difficult to obtain and will not be derived in the present paper. It remains thus an open question whether the modified fitted values bring about some benefit from the model-based perspective. We discuss also design-based properties of the estimators and propose a variance estimator for the generalized difference estimator based on the modified fitted values. Finally, we perform a simulation study. The simulation results suggest that the modified fitted values lead to a considerable reduction of the design mean square error if the sample size is small.

The Provincial and Territorial Culture Indicators (PTCI) are timely economic estimates of culture and sport in Canada. The PTCI are an extension of the more comprehensive Provincial and Territorial Culture Satellite Account and measure the economic importance of culture and sport in terms of output, gross domestic product and employment across Canada for reference years 2010 to 2014.
Release date: 2016-05-11 - Articles and reports: 11-522-X201700014743Description:
Probabilistic linkage is susceptible to linkage errors such as false positives and false negatives. In many cases, these errors may be reliably measured through clerical-reviews, i.e. the visual inspection of a sample of record pairs to determine if they are matched. A framework is described to effectively carry-out such clerical-reviews based on a probabilistic sample of pairs, repeated independent reviews of the same pairs and latent class analysis to account for clerical errors.

Release date: 2016-03-24 - 10. Epidemiological observatory on Brazilian health data ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X201700014757Description:
The Unified Brazilian Health System (SUS) was created in 1988 and, with the aim of organizing the health information systems and databases already in use, a unified databank (DataSUS) was created in 1991. DataSUS files are freely available via Internet. Access and visualization of such data is done through a limited number of customized tables and simple diagrams, which do not entirely meet the needs of health managers and other users for a flexible and easy-to-use tool that can tackle different aspects of health which are relevant to their purposes of knowledge-seeking and decision-making. We propose the interactive monthly generation of synthetic epidemiological reports, which are not only easily accessible but also easy to interpret and understand. Emphasis is put on data visualization through more informative diagrams and maps.
