  11. Use case 1: Data Aggregator IHS Markit maintains databases of economic time-series data across all countries StatsSA is one of the government statistical agencies that we cover Data users are lazy The IHS Markit systems allow them to update the data with the click of a button Emphasis is on productivity

  12. EconoStat Time-series Different sources Various publications Across Countries Different frequencies Various release schedules Standardised Cleaned Quality control

  13. Data easy accessible in Microsoft Excel

  14. The Global Link Model (GLM) • The Global Link Model (GLM), a powerfultool to understand changes in the world economy • The model isdesigned: • For forecasting and for scenario analysis… • Over short, medium and long term horizons (2, 5-10 and 30 years)

  15. What is important for an Aggregator? Good relationship with sources Open communication • Schedule and structural changes; sufficient advance notification • Technical support for resolving data issues Data format and consistency • Unique identifiers for each series (codes, mnemonics) Timeliness and Quality Historical revisions • structural breaks; access to archives • linking series, long histories

  16. Use case 2: Statistical Modelling People ask us for data all the time • The easy questions are passed on to StatsSA – when this could be answered from one of the released publications. • The more difficult questions • data does not exists • forward-looking (forecasts, projections) • conflicting numbers • something better than nothing

  17. Question What is the expected population of Ekurhuleni in 2020? CS 2016 Census2011 2020 ? 3.18m 3.38m 3.55m Historical growth +1.2% 3.75m Latest provincial growth

  18. Another question 396k Pop Census 311k QLFS 516k QES 517k DMR How many people were employed in the mining industry in South Africa in 2012?

  19. Making Assumptions Detailed understanding of the underlying meta-data • Reference date • Quality – undercount; response rates • Sample design • Different technologies (CAPI vs PAPI) Geographic boundary changes over time Comparison with other possible sources? Potentially employ proxy variables Academic scrutiny by other researchers Definition challenges

  20. Statistical modelling Bespoke basis • Store/branch placements for brand-owners, financial-institutions • Market dynamics and sizing Standard Product • ReX: Socio-Economic database on Local Municipal level • Based on the latest (ever-changing) Local Municipal boundaries • Wide range of variables: Demographic, Development, Household services, Income & Expenditure, Industry, Labour, Economic, Fiscal

  21. Final remarks Quality of administrative data is increasing Technology is making surveys cheaper, and by implication better. Emphasis on using the once in a 5-10 years Population census as the benchmark source of data is shifting Aerial Photography and Satellite Imagery is getting better and cheaper We hope that initiatives like the Dwelling Frame will help solve the problem of continuous changing boundaries. The urban landscape of South Africa is still rapidly changing
