A program of estimates covering eight classes of nursery products and four selected out flowers grown in 5 States was undertaken in late 1956 by the Fruit and Vegetable Statistics Branch of the Agricultural Estimates Division, AMS. The initial survey was an almost complete enumeration with...

This paper examines the magnitude of error associated with linear approximations of nonlinear variables based on Taylor's Series. Little attention has been given to the error term in previous empirical studies. This paper presents the mathematical technique for the single-variable and...

The 1963 input-output table is aggregated into a 20-sector table and additional sectors for flue-cured and burley tobacco are developed using different sources of data. Farm budget data are used to develop input vectors for flue-cured tobacco production at eight different levels of technology....

In 1950 the Bureau of the Census changed its method of enumerating college students. In the census of that year the students were counted as residents of the localities in which they were attending college. This change makes comparisons between 1940 and 1950 census reports on population...

This research demonstrates the need and the procedure for testing sector programming models It compares the model estimates of endogenous variables to carefully selected base period parameters It uses an operational, static, deterministic, and highly aggregate programming model of Philippine...

Assumptions underlying use of survival ratios in population studies have been examined repeatedly, but some uncertainty remains as to the best ratio for specific problems and as to the advisability of attempting to correct ratios for variations in mortality, in racial or ethnic composition, in...

Although many statistical surveys and experimental studies have been and are being conducted for many segments of the economy, including agriculture, standard errors are seldom computed. Estimates of these errors are frequently needed to evaluate survey results and for the planning of future...
