50 Years of the Conference of European Statisticians 1 UNITED NATIONS STATISTICAL COMMISSION and UNITED NATIONS ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE 5O YEARS OF THE CONFERENCE OF EUROPEAN STATISTICIANS Conceived by Carlo Malaguerra with contributions by Bodin J.-L., Garonna P., Griffin T., Ivanov Y., Kelly J.J., Korolev M., Malinvaud E., Moser C., Olenski J., Sokolin V., de Vries W., Whitworth J. UNITED NATIONS Geneva, 2003 Conference of European Statisticians Statistical Standards and Studies – No. ST/CES/54 ISBN 92-1-116855-4 Foreword The Conference of European Statisticians is an important Principal Subsidiary Body of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. It celebrated its 50th anniversary plenary session in June 2002. The Conference has achieved a great deal during the past 50 years, and some of these achievements are summarized in the different chapters of this publication. One of the Conference’s major achievements has been the way in which it served as a “bridge” and meeting point throughout the Cold War period for statisticians in Eastern and Western Europe working in the field of Official Statistics. Despite the important differences that characterized market economy countries and centrally planned economy countries and the different approaches they used to measure economic and social phenomena, the statisticians from both groups of countries met regularly in Geneva. Under the auspices of the Conference they discussed and approved statistical standards, exchanged data and collaborated together to improve the international comparability of their national statistics. The development and adoption by the Conference of the Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics in 1991 and their endorsement by the Economic Commission for Europe in 1992 is another major achievement. The United Nations Statistical Commission also subsequently adopted these Fundamental Principles in 1994 as an international standard at the world level. The Conference has also made important advances in drawing up different sets of internationally agreed concepts, definitions and classifications and in coordinating international statistical work carried out by the various international organizations working in the ECE region. Tribute is paid in the chapters of this volume to all these and other accomplishments of the Conference. The publication does not restrict itself to looking into past achievements, for it also discusses some of the important challenges that the Conference of European Statisticians will face in the future. Some of these challenges will undoubtedly be hard to meet, but based on the experience of the last 50 years, I am confident that the Conference will confront them successfully and that it will achieve further impressive successes in the years to come.

Eriksen, Tore Jørgen Hanisch1, Arild Sæther The Rise and Fall of the Oslo School2 Abstract In 1931 Ragnar Frisch became professor at the University of Oslo. By way of his research, a new study programme and new staff he created the ”Oslo School”, characterised by mathematical modelling, econometrics, economic planning and scepticism towards the market economy. Consequently, detailed state economic planning and governance dominated Norwegian economic policy for three decades after WWII. In the 1970s the School’s dominance came to an end when the belief in competitive markets gained a foothold and the economy had poor performance. As a result a decentralized market economy was reintroduced. However, mathematical modelling and econometrics remain in the core of most economic programmes. JEL classification: B23, B29,B31, B59, O21, P41, P51 1. Introduction The main purpose of this presentation is to tell the story of how Ragnar Frisch founded the so-called Oslo School in economics, and secondly, to outline the main features of this School and investigate its major influence on the Norwegian post-war economy.

  • Statistics Making an Impact
    John Pullinger J. R. Statist. Soc. A (2013) 176, Part 4, pp. 819–839 Statistics making an impact John Pullinger House of Commons Library, London, UK [The address of the President, delivered to The Royal Statistical Society on Wednesday, June 26th, 2013] Summary. Statistics provides a special kind of understanding that enables well-informed deci- sions. As citizens and consumers we are faced with an array of choices. Statistics can help us to choose well. Our statistical brains need to be nurtured: we can all learn and practise some simple rules of statistical thinking. To understand how statistics can play a bigger part in our lives today we can draw inspiration from the founders of the Royal Statistical Society. Although in today’s world the information landscape is confused, there is an opportunity for statistics that is there to be seized.This calls for us to celebrate the discipline of statistics, to show confidence in our profession, to use statistics in the public interest and to champion statistical education. The Royal Statistical Society has a vital role to play. Keywords: Chartered Statistician; Citizenship; Economic growth; Evidence; ‘getstats’; Justice; Open data; Public good; The state; Wise choices 1. Introduction Dictionaries trace the source of the word statistics from the Latin ‘status’, the state, to the Italian ‘statista’, one skilled in statecraft, and on to the German ‘Statistik’, the science dealing with data about the condition of a state or community. The Oxford English Dictionary brings ‘statistics’ into English in 1787. Florence Nightingale held that ‘the thoughts and purpose of the Deity are only to be discovered by the statistical study of natural phenomena:::the application of the results of such study [is] the religious duty of man’ (Pearson, 1924).

  • Royal Statistical Society Duties of Council Members Council Is The
    Royal Statistical Society Duties of Council members Council is the governing body of the Society and its members are elected by the Fellowship. Council sets the long term strategy, the business plan and oversight of all the RSS’s many activities including financial matters. Council members are elected to serve for a maximum term of office of 4 years. Members attend the RSS Council which meets 5 times a year at Errol Street in London to conduct its formal meetings. These meetings are from 11am-4pm and are in: January, April, July, October and December. New members are invited to attend the December meeting prior to the session for which they have been elected. Members usually become involved, as a Council representative, in other areas of the RSS for example, by serving on a standing committee, section committee, working party or theme. Some members, who already serve the Society in another capacity, may not have the time to take on a further role but usually many do. Involvement in other areas does not necessarily require attendance at meetings. Each of the 12 themes (which support the delivery and development of the RSS’s activities) are developing support or consultation groups which members are encouraged to join and often this is conducted by email. Council members are not only trustees of the Society but are ambassadors for furthering the Society’s aims. Members of Council are sometimes asked to represent the President at formal functions or other events and all Council members are invited to get involved in specific activities such as: • Joining the media contacts list; • Promoting membership of the Society to colleagues; • Talking to students or school children about statistics.

  • Quality Work Within Statistics
    ▲ EDITION 1999 Quality Work and Quality Assurance within Statistics EUROPEAN THEME 0 COMMISSION 0Miscellaneous 2 FOREWORD Statistics & quality go hand-in-hand Quality of statistics was the theme of the annual conference of presidents and directors-general of the national sta- tistical institutes (NSIs) of EU and EEA countries, organised in Stockholm on 28-29 May 1998 by Statistics Sweden in collaboration with Eurostat. Quality has always been one of the obvious requirements of statistics, although the notion of 'quality' has changed over the years. Nowadays a statistical 'product' has to exhibit reliability, relevance of concept, promptness, ease of access, clarity, comparability, consistency and exhaustiveness. While all these features form part of the whole prod- uct, individual users will attach more or less importance to each one. When statistics - gross domestic product or inflation, for example - have a financial impact, accuracy and comparability are vital. But if the same data are being used by someone interested in short-term trends, then the speed with which they are made available is the key feature. It is for users to decide. They are the people who determine quality criteria. Statisticians are no longer 'number freaks' in a world of their own, but have become managers of statistics, in constant touch with those who make decisions. Such a transformation is possible only if the whole production process is ready for change, because, as a rule, sci- entists such as statisticians tend not to pay much attention to the needs of people outside their own world. Scientists prefer to talk to other scientists. Now that the need for change is understood, how to bring it about? This question is being addressed by most of those in charge of national statistical institutes.
