| Webinar aims | The webinar aims to introduce experimental statistics, that is statistics which are in the research and development phase, thus of a lower level of maturity even ifproduced in a robust statistical quality context. The practice to start publishing these statistics is rather recent, but there is a growing trend among statistical institutes to do so. The focus will be on presenting the purposes and drivers of experimental statistics. Eurostat experimental statistics on income, consumption and wealth will be used as a case study. |
| Webinar learning outcomes | To understand advantages and risks of experimental statistics. To be aware of Eurostat work and achievements in experimental statistics. To become familiar with methodological and other considerations in the case of income, consumption and wealth statistics |
