A Study of Effective Utilization for Agricultural Household Survey

本研究的目标是在《统计法》修订后，为进一步利用与农业统计有关的问卷信息奠定基础。它特别将农业普查以及农场管理和经济统计调查作为农业统计的例子。更具体地说，这项研究有以下三个具体目标：1)了解农业统计数据二次利用的现状；2)分析农业普查数据与农场管理和经济统计调查数据相联系的方法；3)研究农业统计数据存档的方法，包括私营部门汇编的农业部门统计数据，以及收集和组织元数据。这项研究通过分析将农业普查与农场管理和经济统计调查联系起来的具体方法，包括从1970年代起每年追溯联系的方法以及合并这两种农业统计数据的方式，成功地为高级使用农业统计奠定了基础。在农业普查方面，研究建立了面板数据，采用按年联系的方法，从而分析了农业经营变化对管理结构和行为的影响。
