Abstract:
|
Small-area estimation was first studied at Statistics Canada in the seventies. Small-area estimates have been produced using administrative files or surveys enhanced with administrative auxiliary data since the early eighties. In this paper we provide a summary of existing procedures for producing official small-area estimates at Statistics Canada, as well as a summary of the ongoing research. We discuss the estimation of under-coverage in the census when small-area estimation techniques are used. We also highlight problems for producing small-area estimates for business surveys.
