  • 1. From the Vine to the Glass: Canada's Grape and Wine Industry Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-621-M2006049
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This study analyzes the evolution of the production and market of grapes and wine in Canada from 1993 to 2005. Exports of Canadian wine as well as provincial data on consumption of domestic and imported wines are highlighted.

  • 2. Conceptualizing and Measuring Business Incubation Archived
    Articles and reports: 88F0006X2006006
    Description:

    This paper conceptualizes business incubation and translates theoretical ideas into measurable metrics. Specifically, it explains and develops the concept, discusses the influence of major economic and technological events on its evolution, identifies different models and explains how business incubators create value. It then explains how these concepts have been implemented in Statistics Canada's first survey of business incubators.

  • 3. Characteristics of Business Incubation in Canada, 2005 Archived
    Articles and reports: 88F0006X2006007
    Description:

    This paper highlights business incubators in Canada. A business incubator is a business unit that specializes in providing space, services, advice and support designed to assist new and growing businesses to become established and profitable. The survey covered information on business incubator affiliation; infrastructure; sources of funding; policies; clients and activities; services; impact; management; and barriers

  • 4. On calibration estimation for quantiles Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X20060019255
    Description:

    In this paper, we consider the estimation of quantiles using the calibration paradigm. The proposed methodology relies on an approach similar to the one leading to the original calibration estimators of Deville and Särndal (1992). An appealing property of the new methodology is that it is not necessary to know the values of the auxiliary variables for all units in the population. It suffices instead to know the corresponding quantiles for the auxiliary variables. When the quadratic metric is adopted, an analytic representation of the calibration weights is obtained. In this situation, the weights are similar to those leading to the generalized regression (GREG) estimator. Variance estimation and construction of confidence intervals are discussed. In a small simulation study, a calibration estimator is compared to other popular estimators for quantiles that also make use of auxiliary information.

  • 5. Design effects for multiple design samples Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X20060019256
    Description:

    In some situations the sample design of a survey is rather complex, consisting of fundamentally different designs in different domains. The design effect for estimates based upon the total sample is a weighted sum of the domain-specific design effects. We derive these weights under an appropriate model and illustrate their use with data from the European Social Survey (ESS).

  • 6. A nonresponse model approach to inference under imputation for missing survey data Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X20060019257
    Description:

    In the presence of item nonreponse, two approaches have been traditionally used to make inference on parameters of interest. The first approach assumes uniform response within imputation cells whereas the second approach assumes ignorable response but make use of a model on the variable of interest as the basis for inference. In this paper, we propose a third appoach that assumes a specified ignorable response mechanism without having to specify a model on the variable of interest. In this case, we show how to obtain imputed values which lead to estimators of a total that are approximately unbiased under the proposed approach as well as the second approach. Variance estimators of the imputed estimators that are approximately unbiased are also obtained using an approach of Fay (1991) in which the order of sampling and response is reversed. Finally, simulation studies are conducted to investigate the finite sample performance of the methods in terms of bias and mean square error.

  • 7. Canada's Global Cities: Socio-economic Conditions in Montréal, Toronto and Vancouver Archived
    Articles and reports: 89-613-M2006010
    Geography: Census metropolitan area
    Description:

    This report paints a statistical portrait of socio-economic conditions in the Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs) of Toronto, Montréal and Vancouver. It highlights trends in population growth, suburban growth, commuting, employment, unemployment, immigration, income and low-income and socio-economic conditions among immigrants, Aboriginal People, and others. It uses data from the 1981 to 2001 Censuses of Canada, the 2005 Labour Force Historical Review, and Income in Canada, 2004.

  • 8. Merging area-level census data with survey data in Statistics Canada research data centres Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-002-X20060019254
    Description:

    This article explains how to append census area-level summary data to survey or administrative data. It uses examples from datasets present in Statistics Canada Research Data Centres, but the methods also apply to external datasets. Four examples illustrate common situations faced by researchers: (1) when the survey (or administrative) and census data both contain the same level of geographic identifiers, coded to the same year standard ("vintage") of census geography; (2) when the two files contain geographic identifiers of the same vintage, but at different levels of census geography; (3) when the two files contain data coded to different vintages of census geography; (4) when the survey data are lacking in geographic identifiers, and those identifiers must first be generated from postal codes present on the file. The examples are shown using SAS syntax, but the principles apply to other programming languages or statistical packages.

  • 9. Learning disabilities and child altruism, anxiety, and aggression Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-008-X20060019197
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This paper uses Canadian data from the 2002 and 2003 National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth to examine the levels of altruism or prosocial behaviour, anxiety or emotional disorder, and physical aggression or conduct disorder for children aged 8 to 11 with and without learning disabilities, controlling for characteristics of the child, the family and parenting style. Children were identified as having learning disabilities if they were diagnosed as having this long-term condition by a health professional.

  • 10. Unemployment since 1971 Archived
    Articles and reports: 75-001-X200610513164
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Between 1971 and 2005, Canada's labour force became more educated in line with the increased credentials of new entrants, while the aging of the workforce shifted the experience profile upwards. However, this was not reflected in unemployment rates, which were for the most part slightly higher in 2005 than in 1971. What factors are at play? The article looks at specific age-education combinations to yield a more nuanced long-term perspective on current labour market conditions.
