Challenges and Opportunities of Computational Social Science for Official Statistics
arxiv(2022)
摘要
The vast amount of data produced everyday (so-called 'digital traces') and
available nowadays represent a gold mine for the social sciences, especially in
a computational context, that allows to fully extract their informational and
knowledge value. In the latest years, statistical offices have made efforts to
profit from harnessing the potential offered by these new sources of data, with
promising results. But how difficult is this integration process? What are the
challenges that statistical offices would likely face to profit from new data
sources and analytical methods? This chapter will start by setting the scene of
the current official statistics system, with a focus on its fundamental
principles and dimensions relevant to the use of non-traditional data. It will
then present some experiments and proofs of concept in the context of data
innovation for official statistics, followed by a discussion on prospective
challenges related to sustainable data access, new technical and methodological
approaches and effective use of new sources of data.
