Using the Web in Collecting Data for
Business Statistics in Finland
Statistics Finland’s strategy

To offer a WEB based option in all data collections by 2007

Its is the respondent’s choice whether to use WEB or not
---> it is his / her judgement what is sufficient in data
security

Business data collections (excl. financial stats)


about 45 surveys
(excluding collections with less
than 30 respondents)

WEB -collection in use 1.5.2005: 15

by the end of year 2006: 45

The paper option remains for the
foreseeable future
--> decreases benefits
Our approach is pragmatic

Mr Fellegis questions

What approach to use to protect the data from
interception in both directions? Experiences?
--> Not a very big concern.
-- data is not super sensitive
-- the respondents decide whether to use or not
-- no experiences

Experiences with provision of past data?
--> ?? Past data is included in the response data base
and is available to the respondent

Mr Fellegis questions

Any unreported experiences with respondent research?
--> not in this area (WEB)

Should we create an ad hoc working group on EDR?
Does not seem necessary from our point of view;
possible solutions in various countries are tied with the
institutional conditions

Mr Fellegis questions

Why have you adopted both an in-house and a contracted
approach? When do you use each?
--> in 1997 we did not have in-house expertise
--> with limited in-house resources progress would be slow
--> with both in-house / contracted we can “double” the speed

Which one works better?
--> Both seem to be doing all right.
--> For short term --> in-house because must have fast response
--> can not wait for a service provider to react
