Journals and periodicals: 51F0009X
Geography: Canada
Description:
Since September 11, 2001, important changes in the financial and operating statistics of airline activities in Canada have taken place. In particular, most airline companies have seen a deterioration of their financial positions and the number of flights and of seats available have generally decreased while security measures have increased. The aim of this paper is to examine the post-September 11 aviation market in Canada with respect to one key operating characteristic: the number of flights of airline companies operating in Canada. More specifically, the following questions are addressed: Was there a recovery in airline activities in Canada since September 11? Were all losses in all sectors recovered (domestic, transborder and international)? Were all losses at all airports recovered?
This paper is divided into three sections: 1. Data sources and limitations, the scope of this research and the methodological approach used are described in the first section. 2. The second section highlights the main results obtained and discusses these results in the context of the recent trends in airline activities in Canada. 3. Lastly, some conclusions are offered, based on the evidence collected and analysed.

9. Data accuracy: how good are our usual indicators? Archived
Articles and reports: 11-522-X20010016231
Description:
This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. Its is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
In 2000, the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) conducted monthly telephone surveys in 50 American states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico: each was responsible for collecting its own survey data. In Maine, data collection was split between the state health department and ORC Macro, a commercial market research firm. Examination of survey outcome rates, selection biases and missing values for income suggest that the Maine health department data are more accurate. However, out of 18 behavioural health risk factors, only four are statistically different by data collector, and for these four factors, the data collected by ORC Macro seem more accurate.

10. Statistics New Zealand: recent developments in electronic data collection Archived
Articles and reports: 11-522-X20010016244
Description:
This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
Over the past few years, Statistics New Zealand (SNZ) has experienced an increase in the volume of business survey data supplied by e-mail. However, up until now, SNZ has not had the business processes available to support electronic collection in a way that meets both the needs of SNZ and data suppliers. To this end, SNZ has invested a lot of effort over the last year in investigating how best to approach the problems and opportunities presented by electronic data collection. This paper outlines SNZ's plans to move the e-mail supplied data to a secure lodgement facility and the future development of an internet-based data collection system. It also presents a case study of the Monthly Retail Trade Survey data currently supplied by e-mail. This case study illustrates some of the benefits of electronic data, but also examines some of the costs to the organization and the data quality problems encountered. It also highlights the need to consider the data collection methodology within the wider context of the total survey cycle.

10. Using matched census-survey records to evaluate the quality of survey data Archived
Articles and reports: 11-522-X20010016270
Description:
This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
Following the last three censuses in Britain, survey non-response on major government household surveys has been investigated by linking addresses sampled for surveys taking place around the time of the census to individual census records for the same addresses. This paper outlines the design of the 2001 British Census-linked Study of Survey Nonresponse. The study involves 10 surveys that vary significantly in design and response rates. The key feature of the study is the extensive use of auxiliary data and multilevel modelling to identify interviewer, household and area level effects.
