Chinese paper • Development of electronic reporting underway since 1998 • Special feature: sharing data with local statistical bureaux • Currently implemented EDR for 5000 out of 180,000 enterprises (largest) • These account for 40-50% of assets and revenues • Excellent response rate: over 90% (monthly survey) • Used EDR for high priority special surveys (e.g. SARS)
EDR discussion -- conclusions • You pay for high security • Generalised approach preferable • EDR should not be “add-on” but should involve re-thinking of “questionnaire” and a multi-mode processing flow • Interruption and resumption of questionnaire completion seems important (for longer forms) – but with design trade-offs involving security, complexity
EDR discussion -- conclusions • Editing by respondents is helpful for quality – but too much of it can make EDR less user-friendly • Understanding respondent motivation is still in infancy
Questions • To all authors: • What approach to use to protect the data from interception in both directions? Experiences? • Experiences with provision of past data? • Any unreported experiences with respondent research? • Should we create an ad hoc working group on EDR?
Questions • To Austria: • Why have you restricted EDR to single business enterprises? • Do you have plans to expand EDR to other types of surveys ? • To Finland: • Why have you adopted both an in-house and a contracted approach? When do you use each? • Which one works better? • To Canada: - What are the advantages/disadvantages of adopting a highly secure “public key infrastructure” security approach? • Why do you have 2 approaches for collecting data electronically-EXCEL and Web ? • To China: what plans do you have to expand EDR to large number or respondents?
