In modern survey applications, National Statistical Institutes have always the pressure to reduce costs. This task plays an important role in the next European Census round 2010/11, where some countries try to employ a register-based Census which may help to reduce costs by far. Small area estimation methods are expected to allow for high-level results for small areas and domains under the given budget constraints.

This task plays an important role in the next European Census round 2010/11, where some countries try to employ a register-based Census which may help to reduce costs by far. Small area estimation methods are expected to allow for high-level results for small areas and domains under the given budget constraints. The present article focuses on the estimation of higher educated people as example for a variable which is not overserved in the register. Based on the classical basic unit and area-level models, binomial mixed-models will be elaborated. Finally, spatial small area models will be assessed. The entire study will be accompanied by a Monte-Carlo study which will foster comparisons of all models within a realistic framework.» weiterlesen» einklappen
