Government Statistical Agencies and the Politics of Credibility

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Who decides how official statistics are produced? Do politicians have control or are decisions left to independent statistical agencies? Interviews with statisticians in Australia, Canada, Sweden, the UK and the USA reveal that the power over statistics is distributed differently across countries, and this book explains why.
