Retail Trade Survey data source contribution and response rate

Retail trade survey data source contribution and response rate The Retail trade survey uses a combination of survey and administrative data sources. We can see how the contribution of these sources to our estimates change over time, and how much we’ve had to rely on imputation in any given quarter to estimate missing data, which helps us understand the quality of our retail estimates. The measures below show for each quarter: the contribution that administrative data has made to the value of sales, regardless of whether it was from a response or imputed. the value of sales that has come directly from responses (eg. Data that is not imputed), regardless of the data source (ie. Whether it is from a survey or administrative source). The measures are based on Total retail trade (NZSIOC level 1 GH, which is a combination of the two ANZSIC06 divisions G and H) sales values. These measures are a reflection of the contribution and response rate to sales value as at the time results were first published for the reference quarter. They are not revised if updates are later implemented.
