  • 28. Innovation and Export-market Participation in Canadian Manufacturing Archived
    Articles and reports: 11F0019M2016386
    Description:

    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.

    Articles and reports: 11-522-X201700014739
    Description:

    Vital statistics datasets such as the Canadian Mortality Database lack identifiers for certain populations of interest such as First Nations, Métis and Inuit. Record linkage between vital statistics and survey or other administrative datasets can circumvent this limitation. This paper describes a linkage between the Canadian Mortality Database and the 2006 Census of the Population and the planned analysis using the linked data.

    Description:

    In this paper, we discuss the impacts of Employment Benefit and Support Measures delivered in Canada under the Labour Market Development Agreements. We use linked rich longitudinal administrative data covering all LMDA participants from 2002 to 2005. We Apply propensity score matching as in Blundell et al. (2002), Gerfin and Lechner (2002), and Sianesi (2004), and produced the national incremental impact estimates using difference-in-differences and Kernel Matching estimator (Heckman and Smith, 1999). The findings suggest that, both Employment Assistance Services and employment benefit such as Skills Development and Targeted Wage Subsidies had positive effects on earnings and employment.

  • 143. Linking Canadian Patent records from the U.S. Patent office to Statistics Canada’s Business Register, 2000 to 2011 Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-522-X201700014742
    Description:

    This paper describes the Quick Match System (QMS), an in-house application designed to match business microdata records, and the methods used to link the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) dataset to Statistics Canada’s Business Register (BR) for the period from 2000 to 2011. The paper illustrates the record-linkage framework and outlines the techniques used to prepare and classify each record and evaluate the match results. The USPTO dataset consisted of 41,619 U.S. patents granted to 14,162 distinct Canadian entities. The record-linkage process matched the names, city, province and postal codes of the patent assignees in the USPTO dataset with those of businesses in the January editions of the Generic Survey Universe File (GSUF) from the BR for the same reference period. As the vast majority of individual patent assignees are not engaged in commercial activity to provide taxable property or services, they tend not to appear in the BR. The relatively poor match rate of 24.5% among individuals, compared to 84.7% among institutions, reflects this tendency. Although the 8,844 individual patent assignees outnumbered the 5,318 institutions, the institutions accounted for 73.0% of the patents, compared to 27.0% held by individuals. Consequently, this study and its conclusions focus primarily on institutional patent assignees. The linkage of the USPTO institutions to the BR is significant because it provides access to business micro-level data on firm characteristics, employment, revenue, assets and liabilities. In addition, the retrieval of robust administrative identifiers enables subsequent linkage to other survey and administrative data sources. The integrated dataset will support direct and comparative analytical studies on the performance of Canadian institutions that obtained patents in the United States between 2000 and 2011.

  • 144. Measuring the Quality of a Probabilistic Linkage through Clerical-Reviews Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-522-X201700014743
    Description:

    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.

  • 145. On the Utility of Paradata in Major National Surveys: Challenges and Benefits Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-522-X201700014744
    Description:

    This presentation will begin with Dr. West providing a summary of research that has been conducted on the quality and utility of paradata collected as part of the United States National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG). The NSFG is the major national fertility survey in the U.S., and an important source of data on sexual activity, sexual behavior, and reproductive health for policy makers. For many years, the NSFG has been collecting various forms of paradata, including keystroke information (e.g., Couper and Kreuter 2013), call record information, detailed case disposition information, and interviewer observations related to key NSFG measures (e.g., West 2013). Dr. West will discuss some of the challenges of working with these data, in addition to evidence of their utility for nonresponse adjustment, interviewer evaluation, and/or responsive survey design purposes. Dr. Kreuter will then present research done using paradata collected as part of two panel surveys: the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) in the United States, and the Panel Labour Market and Social Security (PASS) in Germany. In both surveys, information from contacts in prior waves were experimentally used to improve contact and response rates in subsequent waves. In addition, research from PASS will be presented where interviewer observations on key outcome variables were collected to be used in nonresponse adjustment or responsive survey design decisions. Dr. Kreuter will not only present the research results but also the practical challenges in implementing the collection and use of both sets of paradata.

  • 146. A Bayesian analysis of survey design parameters Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-522-X201700014745
    Description:

    In the design of surveys a number of parameters like contact propensities, participation propensities and costs per sample unit play a decisive role. In on-going surveys, these survey design parameters are usually estimated from previous experience and updated gradually with new experience. In new surveys, these parameters are estimated from expert opinion and experience with similar surveys. Although survey institutes have a fair expertise and experience, the postulation, estimation and updating of survey design parameters is rarely done in a systematic way. This paper presents a Bayesian framework to include and update prior knowledge and expert opinion about the parameters. This framework is set in the context of adaptive survey designs in which different population units may receive different treatment given quality and cost objectives. For this type of survey, the accuracy of design parameters becomes even more crucial to effective design decisions. The framework allows for a Bayesian analysis of the performance of a survey during data collection and in between waves of a survey. We demonstrate the Bayesian analysis using a realistic simulation study.

  • 147. Statistics Canada’s Experiences in Using Paradata to Manage Responsive Collection Design for Computer-Assisted Telephone Interview Household Surveys Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-522-X201700014746
    Description:

    Paradata research has focused on identifying opportunities for strategic improvement in data collection that could be operationally viable and lead to enhancements in quality or cost efficiency. To that end, Statistics Canada has developed and implemented a responsive collection design (RCD) strategy for computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) household surveys to maximize quality and efficiency and to potentially reduce costs. RCD is an adaptive approach to survey data collection that uses information available prior to and during data collection to adjust the collection strategy for the remaining in-progress cases. In practice, the survey managers monitor and analyze collection progress against a predetermined set of indicators for two purposes: to identify critical data-collection milestones that require significant changes to the collection approach and to adjust collection strategies to make the most efficient use of remaining available resources. In the RCD context, numerous considerations come into play when determining which aspects of data collection to adjust and how to adjust them. Paradata sources play a key role in the planning, development and implementation of active management for RCD surveys. Since 2009, Statistics Canada has conducted several RCD surveys. This paper describes Statistics Canada’s experiences in implementing and monitoring this type of surveys.

  • 148. Creating a longitudinal database based on linked administrative registers: An example Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-522-X201700014748
    Description:

    This paper describes the creation of a database developed in Switzerland to analyze migration and the structural integration of the foreign national population. The database is created from various registers (register of residents, social insurance, unemployment) and surveys, and covers 15 years (1998 to 2013). Information on migration status and socioeconomic characteristics is also available for nearly 4 million foreign nationals who lived in Switzerland between 1998 and 2013. This database is the result of a collaboration between the Federal Statistics Office and researchers from the National Center of Competence in Research (NCCR)–On the Move.

  • 149. Using Administrative Data to Study Education in Canada Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-522-X201700014750
    Description:

    The Educational Master File (EMF) system was built to allow the analysis of educational programs in Canada. At the core of the system are administrative files that record all of the registrations to post-secondary and apprenticeship programs in Canada. New administrative files become available on an annual basis. Once a new file becomes available, a first round of processing is performed, which includes linkage to other administrative records. This linkage yields information that can improve the quality of the file, it allows further linkages to other data describing labour market outcomes, and it’s the first step in adding the file to the EMF. Once part of the EMF, information from the file can be included in cross-sectional and longitudinal projects, to study academic pathways and labour market outcomes after graduation. The EMF currently consists of data from 2005 to 2013, but it evolves as new data become available. This paper gives an overview of the mechanisms used to build the EMF, with focus on the structure of the final system and some of its analytical potential.

  • 150. The QU-method: A new methodology for processing scanner data Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-522-X201700014752
    Description:

    This paper presents a new price index method for processing electronic transaction (scanner) data. Price indices are calculated as a ratio of a turnover index and a weighted quantity index. Product weights of quantities sold are computed from the deflated prices of each month in the current publication year. New products can be timely incorporated without price imputations, so that all transactions can be processed. Product weights are monthly updated and are used to calculate direct indices with respect to a fixed base month. Price indices are free of chain drift by this construction. The results are robust under departures from the methodological choices. The method is part of the Dutch CPI since January 2016, when it was first applied to mobile phones.
