Internet Data Reporting CES 13.6.2005 Using the Web in Collecting Data for Business Statistics in Finland
Statistics Finland’s strategy • To offer a WEB based option in all data collections by 2007 • Its is the respondent’s choice whether to use WEB or not ---> it is his / her judgement what is sufficient in data security Ilkka Hyppönen
about 45 surveys (excluding collections with less than 30 respondents) Our approach is pragmatic WEB -collection in use 1.5.2005: 15 by the end of year 2006: 45 The paper option remains for the foreseeable future--> decreases benefits Business data collections (excl. financial stats) Ilkka Hyppönen
Mr Fellegis questions • What approach to use to protect the data from interception in both directions? Experiences?--> Not a very big concern. -- data is not super sensitive -- the respondents decide whether to use or not -- no experiences • Experiences with provision of past data? --> ?? Past data is included in the response data base and is available to the respondent Ilkka Hyppönen
Mr Fellegis questions • Any unreported experiences with respondent research? --> not in this area (WEB) • Should we create an ad hoc working group on EDR? Does not seem necessary from our point of view; possible solutions in various countries are tied with the institutional conditions Ilkka Hyppönen
Mr Fellegis questions • Why have you adopted both an in-house and a contracted approach? When do you use each?--> in 1997 we did not have in-house expertise --> with limited in-house resources progress would be slow --> with both in-house / contracted we can “double” the speed • Which one works better? --> Both seem to be doing all right. --> For short term --> in-house because must have fast response --> can not wait for a service provider to react Ilkka Hyppönen
