Support for 6th International Conference on Establishment Statistics; June 15-18, 2020; New Orleans, LA

第六届机构统计国际会议（ICES-VI）将于2020年6月15日至18日在路易斯安那州新奥尔良举行。一个国家的官方统计数据直接受到其商业、经济和农业调查数据质量的影响。与社会和人口调查的情况不同，这些调查的共同接受和实践方法太少。造成这种情况的最重要原因是，机构调查面临着更困难的设计和执行问题，而关于解决这些问题的战略的出版物要少得多。设立国际企业调查会议是为了解决这一问题，为研究人员提供一个场所，分享他们在企业统计新领域的专门知识，并思考最新的方法，企业调查国际会议提供了一个论坛，介绍目前用于企业、农场和机构调查的方法;提供新的或改进的技术，以解决与这种机构调查有关的独特问题;并通过为世界各地的研究人员提供讨论他们的工作和交流思想的机会来促进国际思想交流进行跨学科和跨国研究。自上次会议以来的四年里，调查界继续发生变化。电子通信的可能性增加，答复率降低，统一国际数据的机会增加。在这次会议期间，领先的专家和新兴的研究人员将有机会讨论这些及时和重要的主题。会议网站是：https://ww2.amstat.org/meetings/ices/2020/index.cfm.This奖反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

The International Conference on Establishment Statistics-VI (ICES-VI) will take place June 15-18, 2020 in New Orleans, Louisiana. A nation's official statistics is directly affected by the quality of the data derived from its business, economic and agricultural surveys. Unlike the situation for social and demographic surveys, there are too few commonly accepted and practiced methodologies for these surveys. The most important reasons for this situation are that establishment surveys face much more difficult design and execution problems and that far less is published on strategies to solve these problems. ICES was created to address this situation by providing a venue for researchers to share their expertise in new areas of establishment statistics and to reflect on state-of-the-art methodologies.The International Conference on Establishment Surveys (ICES) provides a forum to present current methods being used for surveys of businesses, farms, and institutions; to offer new or improved technologies for solving the unique problems associated with such establishment surveys; and to promote international interchange of ideas by providing an opportunity for researchers around the world to discuss their work and to exchange ideas for interdisciplinary and cross-country research. The survey world has continued to change in the four years since the last conference. There are increased possibilities for electronic communication, reductions in response rates, and greater opportunities to harmonize international data. During this conference leading experts and emerging researchers will have an opportunity to discuss these timely and important topics.
