Description

The focus of this session is to sensitize the participants in JSM 2002 to the necessity of working on international statistics in a general context of a more and more globalised world. This session will successively deal with the contents of the concept of international statistics (definitions, global analysis, main areas of interest, ...), with the increasing necessity of establishing international statistics (globalisation, regional economic - and sometimes monetary - integration, world trade, free exchanges, ...) and the methods used to process international statistics (classifications, harmonisation, dissemination, specific areas such as the measurement of the activity of multinational firms, ...).
