Using a comprehensive unbalanced panel of firm-level data constructed from four surveys we test within a structural model what is known in the literature as the “weak” and the “strong” version of the...

Soft edit rules, i.e. constraints which identify (combinations of)values that are suspicious but not necessarily incorrect, are an importantelement of many traditional, manual editing processes. It...

Data quality is important for statistical institutes, not only in relation to the data they produce, but also because they use more and more secondary data sources to produce statistics. Examples of...

Inference in official statistics is traditionally motivated from a design-based perspective, with the model-based approach being gradually adopted in specific circumstances. We take this shifting...
