In this third edition of Register-Based Statistics, the authors introduce new sections and topics with a wider geographical coverage not explored in the previous editions. As registers define a new area in survey methodology, this edition explores how the relationship between register-based statistics and Big Data can be used to full potential.

New topics explored include:

  • How statistical institutes can work on long-term projects to improve administrative systems
  • Estimation methods to improve the quality of statistical estimates based on registers with quality problems
  • How to improve how register-statistical issues are introduced
  • How to create population registers

Based on their teaching experiences in twelve countries, the authors offer suggestions on how to improve register-statistical issues.

Register-based Statistics: Registers and the National Statistical System, 3rd Edition is a must for anyone teaching or working official statistics and survey methodology. The book addresses both introductory and advanced levels - no prerequisite technical knowledge is required, but an understanding of statistics production and related survey methods and quality issues will be helpful.
