Addressing Data Gaps: Four New Lines of Inquiry in the 2017 Economic Census
Addressing Data Gaps: Four New Lines of Inquiry in the 2017 Economic Census
Working Paper Number CES-19-28
Abstract
We describe four new lines of inquiry added to the 2017 Economic Census regarding (i) retail health clinics, (ii) management practices in health care services, (iii) self-service in retail and service industries, and (iv) water use in manufacturing and mining industries. These were proposed by economists from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Center for Economic Studies in order to fill data gaps in current Census Bureau products concerning the U.S. economy. The new content addresses such issues as the rise in importance of health care and its complexity, the adoption of automation technologies, and the importance of measuring water, a critical input to many manufacturing and mining industries.
