| description |
The vast majority of data used for
economic research, analysis, and policy design comes from
surveys-surveys of households, firms, schools, hospitals,
and market participants, and, the accuracy of the estimate
will depend on how well the survey is done. This innovative
book is both a 'how-to' go about carrying out
high-quality surveys, especially in the challenging
environment of developing countries, and a 'user's
guide' for anyone who uses statistical data. Reading
this book will provide data users with a wealth of insight
into what kinds of problems, or biases to look for in
different data sources, based on the underlying survey
approaches that were used to generate the data. In that
sense the book is an invaluable 'skeptics guide to
data'. Yet, the broad storyline of the book is
something that should be absorbed by statistical data users.
The book will teach and show how difficult it often is to
obtain reliable estimates of important social and economic
facts, and, therefore encourages you to approach all
estimates with sensible caution. |
