Price: EUR 125.00The Journal of Economic and Social Measurement (JESM) is a quarterly journal that is concerned with the investigation of all aspects of production, distribution and use of economic and other societal statistical data, and with the use of computers in that context. JESM publishes articles that consider the statistical methodology of economic and social science measurements. It is concerned with the methods and problems of data distribution, including the design and implementation of data base systems and, more generally, computer software and hardware for distributing and accessing statistical data files. Its focus on computer software also includes the valuation of algorithms and their implementation, assessing the degree to which particular algorithms may yield more or less accurate computed results. It addresses the technical and even legal problems of the collection and use of data, legislation and administrative actions affecting government produced or distributed data files, and similar topics.
The journal serves as a forum for the exchange of information and views between data producers and users. In addition, it considers the various uses to which statistical data may be put, particularly to the degree that these uses illustrate or affect the properties of the data. The data considered in JESM are usually economic or social, as mentioned, but this is not a requirement; the editorial policies of JESM do not place a priori restrictions upon the data that might be considered within individual articles. Furthermore, there are no limitations concerning the source of the data.

Abstract: This paper describes attempts to improve the quality of data used for the dynamic econometric analysis of East European economies in their transition period from a planned to a market economy. It gives general requirements for an ‘ideal’ set of …data used for dynamic macroeconomic analysis and reflects on some particular data problems related to the modelling of the economy in transition. It exemplifies the methodology by showing the way the alternative price indices (that is covering jointly the state controlled and uncontrolled sectors of the economy) are constructed. Furthermore, it describes the approximation of the alternative annual households' incomes data. It also shows how the observable quarterly series on wages are used for the Kalman filter approximation of quarterly incomes. Show more

Abstract: This paper proposes a new method for short-term county population projections. It is based on a modification of the ratio-correlation method of population estimation. The modified ratio-correlation method can produce projections with a high potential for accuracy without requiring substantial …data and intensive intellectual labor inputs. Tests of accuracy are examined for the modified ratio-correlation method and two currently available alternatives using data from Washington state. The tests suggest that the new method performs well. Advantages of the modified ratio-correlation method are discussed, with particular attention given to the formal measurement of uncertainty. Forecast intervals are constructed and examined for the projections constructed for counties in Washington state. Given certain limitations, the forecast intervals appear to be robust in terms of providing accurate assessments of the precision associated with county population projections made using the modified ratio-correlation method.

Abstract: The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has devised an index of human development for 130 countries by combining literacy and life expectancy information with income data. The purpose of the index is to provide a measurement of development which does …not rely solely on economic indicators. The present paper improves on this notion and provides two alternative indices of human development and their corresponding development rankings. We improve on the work of the UNDP by avoiding several methodological inconsistencies of the UNDP index. Also, comparative evaluations of the three rankings are provided. Show more

Abstract: Although the 1980s were to be the era of longitudinal analysis little geographic research has taken advantage of longitudinal data. One reason is because geographers require data-sets which contain both information on residential histories and information which is geographically representative. …The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) meets both requirements and can support important geographic research.
