1. Moving Forward on Well-being (Quality of Life) Measures in Canada
Articles and reports: 11F0019M2021006
Description:
The overall objective of this paper is to provide an overview of selected approaches to measuring and reporting well-being in Canada and internationally, and to identify opportunities to move forward with new and enhanced measures to address current social, economic and environmental issues facing Canada that may impact the well-being of its population. This report highlights six trends and proposes a range of data development and measurement activities to advance well-being measurement in the following key areas: digitization, affordability and economic uncertainty, the quality of jobs, social cohesion, neighbourhoods and the built environment and climate change.

2. Estimation of domain discontinuities using Hierarchical Bayesian Fay-Herriot models
Articles and reports: 12-001-X202100100008
Description:
Changes in the design of a repeated survey generally result in systematic effects in the sample estimates, which are further referred to as discontinuities. To avoid confounding real period-to-period change with the effects of a redesign, discontinuities are often quantified by conducting the old and the new design in parallel for some period of time. Sample sizes of such parallel runs are generally too small to apply direct estimators for domain discontinuities. A bivariate hierarchical Bayesian Fay-Herriot (FH) model is proposed to obtain more precise predictions for domain discontinuities and is applied to a redesign of the Dutch Crime Victimization Survey. This method is compared with a univariate FH model where the direct estimates under the regular approach are used as covariates in a FH model for the alternative approach conducted on a reduced sample size and a univariate FH model where the direct estimates for the discontinuities are modeled directly. An adjusted step forward selection procedure is proposed that minimizes the WAIC until the reduction of the WAIC is smaller than the standard error of this criteria. With this approach more parsimonious models are selected, which prevents selecting complex models that tend to overfit the data.

8. Retail e-commerce and COVID-19: How online shopping opened doors while many were closing
Stats in brief: 45-28-0001202000100064
Description:
The COVID-19 pandemic triggered decisions at all levels of government to try and minimize its spread, including shutting down non-essential retail establishments. This led to an abrupt shift in the Canadian retail environment, to which many industries had to adapt. This paper examines the impact of COVID-19 on retail e-commerce as a method of doing business during the first months of the pandemic.
Release date: 2020-07-24
9. Price trends and outlook in key Canadian housing markets
Stats in brief: 45-28-0001202000100053
Description:
This article examines key housing markets in Canada prior to COVID-19 and offers an outlook of the impacts of the pandemic on the real estate market over the next few months. Price trends for four property types, such as new houses, new condominiums, resale houses and resale condominiums are explored. Prior to COVID-19, the price of condominium apartments increased at a faster pace than singles, semi-detached and row homes. The global pandemic may cause a shift of preferences for larger homes instead of condominiums as future home buyers may prefer larger homes in the suburbs as working from home becomes more prevalent.

Price trends for four property types, such as new houses, new condominiums, resale houses and resale condominiums are explored. Prior to COVID-19, the price of condominium apartments increased at a faster pace than single, semi-detached and row homes. Since the beginning of the pandemic, many changes have been impacting the real estate industry, from virtual tours to a change in preference towards larger homes in the suburb. We offer an outlook of the impact of those new realities on the real estate market going forward.

Articles and reports: 82-003-X202000300002
Description:
The purpose of this study was to assess the risk of non accidental and cause specific mortality associated with long term exposure to PM2.5 among immigrants after they arrived in Canada, and to assess how this risk compares with that of the non immigrant population. Using the Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort, this study also sought to determine the influence of several immigrant specific variables on the PM2.5 -mortality association, including duration in Canada, country of birth, age at immigration and neighbourhood ethnic concentration.

7. Robust variance estimators for generalized regression estimators in cluster samples
Articles and reports: 12-001-X201900300001
Description:
Standard linearization estimators of the variance of the general regression estimator are often too small, leading to confidence intervals that do not cover at the desired rate. Hat matrix adjustments can be used in two-stage sampling that help remedy this problem. We present theory for several new variance estimators and compare them to standard estimators in a series of simulations. The proposed estimators correct negative biases and improve confidence interval coverage rates in a variety of situations that mirror ones that are met in practice.

8. Estimation of level and change for unemployment using structural time series models
Articles and reports: 12-001-X201900300005
Description:
Monthly estimates of provincial unemployment based on the Dutch Labour Force Survey (LFS) are obtained using time series models. The models account for rotation group bias and serial correlation due to the rotating panel design of the LFS. This paper compares two approaches of estimating structural time series models (STM). In the first approach STMs are expressed as state space models, fitted using a Kalman filter and smoother in a frequentist framework. As an alternative, these STMs are expressed as time series multilevel models in an hierarchical Bayesian framework, and estimated using a Gibbs sampler. Monthly unemployment estimates and standard errors based on these models are compared for the twelve provinces of the Netherlands. Pros and cons of the multilevel approach and state space approach are discussed. Multivariate STMs are appropriate to borrow strength over time and space. Modeling the full correlation matrix between time series components rapidly increases the numbers of hyperparameters to be estimated. Modeling common factors is one possibility to obtain more parsimonious models that still account for cross-sectional correlation. In this paper an even more parsimonious approach is proposed, where domains share one overall trend, and have their own independent trends for the domain-specific deviations from this overall trend. The time series modeling approach is particularly appropriate to estimate month-to-month change of unemployment.

9. Examining the incomes of veterans using tax data: Now and in the future
Articles and reports: 75F0002M2019008
Description:
The primary objective of this study is to describe the general income trends pre- and post-release for veterans released from the regular forces since 1998. It also provides some directions for future work. This study is part of the Life After Service Studies (LASS) research program. LASS is a partnership between Veterans Affairs Canada, the Department of National Defence and Statistics Canada. For this income study, information on veterans was linked to the T1 Family File (income data on tax filers and their family) produced by Statistics Canada.
