     View Summary

    In this research project, we have studied statistical and institutional aspects of various important issues of economic statistics and in particular official statistics. We have also studied some recent important statistical methods for economic statistics. We have obtained many new results on these issues, and have published many academic papers and given presentations at academic meetings. As for research topics concerned, for micro-statistics, we have studied design of survey questionnaires, effects of data anonymization and risks of disclosure of private information and so forth. For macro-statistics, we have studied population forecasts and their implications, methods for improvements in accuracy of GDP or consumption data and so forth. We also considered consistency among various official statistics. For analytical methods, we have obtained some new results on statistical methods for panel data models, and volatility analysis of financial data.

     View Summary

    This research project has been concerned with some important issues of economic statistics, in particular official statistics. We have studied statistical and institutional aspects of official statistics. The project members have published many academic papers and given presentations at various academic meetings. For micro-statistics, notable topics we have studied are analytical problems of estimating small-area statistics, design of a survey questionnaire, concealment of information and risks associated with disclosure of private information, and improvements of income and expenditure surveys. For macro-statistics, we have studied estimation of GDP statistics, and modelling of mortality forecasts associated with population estimates. Finally, we have made some progress on consistency of micro and macro statistics, for example, various benchmark problems of an aggregated data with its components.
