ENBES - The European Network for Better Establishment Statistics - is announcing the call for papers and participation for the European Establishment Statistics Workshop 2019 (EESW19), to be held on the premises of Bizkaia Aretoa building, in Bilbao, Spain, on 24-27 September 2019, hosted by the Basque Statistical Office (EUSTAT).
Under a broad heading of Using modern technology for improving establishment statistics, EESW19 welcomes contributions from methodologists, academic researchers and private sector professionals on all topics related to statistics about and for businesses and other organisational entities: sample design, data collection, response process, editing and imputation, estimation, modelling, quality assessment, data presentation and dissemination, metadata and process data for establishment statistics, cross-national statistics, and similar. However, we especially invite contributions and considerations on new developments in these overarching areas, which can contribute to addressing some emerging research questions:
To organise a session on one of these topics, or to contribute a paper for such a session, there is still time to get in touch with Mojca Bavdaž (mojca.bavdaz[at]ef.uni-lj.si), Paul Smith (p.a.smith[at]soton.ac.uk) or Arnout van Delden (a.vandelden[at]cbs.nl) to discuss its suitability for the programme. You can also contact them with other proposals for session topics and papers, or if you would like to hear about and get connected with other colleagues possibly working on a research topic that you are interested in.
To submit a formal application for presentation, please use online application form, with a deadline of March 31, 2019. At the time of registering, please also send an abstract of max. 300 words - as an attachment in pdf or doc format - to eesw[at]enbes.org, with the subject line the same as the abstract title.
Authors of all accepted abstracts will be requested to submit a draft paper (3-5 pages long), to be circulated to the participants by September 1, 2019, to aid their preparations. Template of author's liking may be used for the paper. Pdfs of final papers will be made available to general audience after the workshop, by publishing them in the ENBES scientific repository.
