National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine: Principles and Practices for a Federal Statistical Agency, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The 8th Edition of Principles and Practices for a Federal Statistical Agency supports the essential role of relevant, credible, trusted, independent, and innovative government statistics. Since 1992, this report has described the characteristics of effective federal statistical agencies. Government statistics are widely used to inform decisions by policymakers, program administrators, businesses and other organizations, as well as households and the general public.
Principles and Practices is a concise tool to communicate the unique responsibilities of federal statistical agencies. It underscores the invaluable role that relevant, timely, accurate, and trustworthy government statistics play to inform the public and policymakers. Since 2001, an updated edition is released at the beginning of each presidential term.
This eighth edition retains the five principles and ten practices established in prior editions, including updated examples and extensive appendices to reflect the many and varied changes across the national statistical system that have occurred since the passage of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 ("Evidence Act"), the CHIPS and Science Act, and implementing regulations.
