Radermacher1st ed. 2020.Cham :Springer International Publishing,2020.1 online resource (xii, 158 pages)3-030-31491-X Preface -- Official Statistics - An Introduction -- Official statistics - Public Informational Infrastructure -- Science and Society: A Reflexive Approach to Official Statistics -- Official Statistics 4.0: The Era of Digitisation and Globalization -- A Confident Look into the Future of Official Statistics.This book explores official statistics and their social function in modern societies. Digitisation and globalisation are creating completely new opportunities and risks, a context in which facts (can) play an enormously important part if they are produced with a quality that makes them credible and purpose-specific. In order for this to actually happen, official statistics must continue to actively pursue the modernisation of their working methods. This book is not about the technical and methodological challenges associated with digitisation and globalisation; rather, it focuses on statistical sociology, which scientifically deals with the peculiarities and pitfalls of governing-by-numbers, and assigns statistics a suitable position in the future informational ecosystem. Further, the book provides a comprehensive overview of modern issues in official statistics, embodied in a historical and conceptual framework that endows it with different and innovative perspectives. Central to this work is the quality of statistical information provided by official statistics. The implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals in the form of indicators is another driving force in the search for answers, and is addressed here. This book will be of interest to a broad readership. The topics of sociology, epistemology, statistical history and the management of production processes, which are important for official statistics and their role in social decision-making processes, are generally not dealt with in statistics books. The book is primary intended for official statisticians, but researchers and advanced students in statistics, economics, sociology and the political sciences will find the book equally stimulating. Last but not least, it offers a valuable source of reflection for policymakers and stakeholders.Statistics Social sciencesEconomic theoryProduction managementApplied Statisticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S17000Methodology of the Social Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X17000Economic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methodshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W29000Operations Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/519000Humanities and Social Sciences, multidisciplinaryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/A14000applied sciencesengeurovocstatisticsengeurovocdigitisationengeurovocStatistics .Social sciences.Economic theory.Production management.Applied Statistics.Methodology of the Social Sciences.Economic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methods.Operations Management.Humanities and Social Sciences, multidisciplinary.applied sciencesstatisticsdigitisation519.538.08EP-CLASSRadermacher Walter J305713MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996418194103316Official statistics 4.02111546UNISA
