Riassunto

The use of census data forms an important part of many research activities in subject areas as diverse as geography, demography, sociology, economics, politics and statistics. It is vital that the researchers know how the data was collected, which statistical techniques are useful and why, and how to model the data in order to draw inferences about the whole population. This volume meets these particular needs and is the only book available with a section devoted to showing examples of the analysis of census microdata across many different application areas.

Recensione

This book is a wonderful resource for anyone who might be drawn to or need to do cross-national research...it would be a great book to use in a graduate statistics class. (Professor B. Reskin, Department of Sociology, Harv)

This book fills a gap in the literature related to census analysis issues. The book makes a major contribution by bringing together a wide range of methods and up-to-date applications that use census microdata in a straightforward and concise way. A clear-cut and succinct information source for those interested in using census microdata for social and economic research. (International Journal of Population Geography)

I enjoyed reading the book and can recommend it to people both with and without experience with census data or register-based data. (Gerda Engholm, Statistics in Medicine)
