can diaries help in improving agricultural Production Statistics evidence from uganda
Journal of Development Economics, 2012Co-Authors: Klaus Deininger, Calogero Carletto, Sara Savastano, James MuwongeAbstract:Although good and timely information on agricultural Production is critical for policy-decisions, the quality of underlying data is often low and improving data quality could have high payoff. We use data from a Production diary, administered concurrently with a standard household survey in Uganda to analyze the nature and incidence of responses, the magnitude of differences in reported outcomes, and factors that systematically affect these. Despite limited central supervision, diaries elicited a strong response, complemented standard surveys in a number of respects and were less affected by problems of respondent fatigue than expected. The diary-based estimates of output value consistently exceed that from the recall-based Production survey, in line with reported disposition. Implications for policy and practical administration of surveys are drawn out.

deriving european tantalum flows using trade and Production Statistics
Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2018Co-Authors: Sebastiaan Deetman, Lauran Van Oers, Ester Van Der Voet, Arnold TukkerAbstract:Even though tantalum has a high economic importance and is associated with armed conflict, the use of tantalum throughout the supply chain of importing economies is not well understood. This article adds to existing qualitative descriptions of the tantalum supply chain by performing a quantified substance flow analysis (SFA) of tantalum for Europe in the year 2007. The exercise is meant to show how readily available statistical information could be used along with simple and transparent assumptions on product composition and allocation, to yield an enabling and visual representation of the supply chain for critical materials. The case of tantalum shows some surprising results. First of all, this study shows that tantalum in computer hard disks and artificial joints may be more relevant than found in previous studies. Further, we find that the tantalum consumption in Europe may be larger than expected based on geological survey reports, attributed to a high fraction of tantalum being imported in subcomponents and final products. Further research is needed to substantiate this claim, but what is clear is that a detailed SFA provides valuable insights into the consumption of tantalum as a critical material, throughout the stages in the supply chain related to the Production and use of tantalum†containing products. The exercise also allowed Production of waste generation profiles and enabled identification of e†waste as an important focus group in order to improve tantalum recycling rates and eventually to reduce society's dependence on scarce or conflict†related raw materials.

295 ergonomic exposure assessed by Production Statistics
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2013Co-Authors: C B BrauerAbstract:Objectives To assess ergonomic exposures in a historical cohort study on musculoskeletal disorders among baggage handlers using Production Statistics from the airport and the involved handling company. In historical cohort studies information on exposures is typically based on self-reports or assumptions of previous exposures. This may lead to misclassification of cumulative exposures. We analysed Production data from the participating companies to improve the exposure assessments of the individual workers. Methods Data from 1990–2012 regarding the number of flight operations was provided by Copenhagen Airport. The handling company provided data from 1998–2012 on total baggage weight, number of operations and number of baggage handlers on duty. Additionally, information existed back to 2002 on type of aircrafts, percentage of wide-bodied aircrafts (where some of the baggage was loaded in containers) and weight of manually handled baggage. It was possible to receive information about the dimension of the baggage compartments, which is decisive for the postures adopted in the hold (standing, stooping, squatting, kneeling and sitting). Information also existed on the time of introduction of technical lifting gear. Results Although the number of passengers almost doubled during the past 20 years, the number of flight operations decreased as the number of passengers per flight increased. However, the weight of manually handled luggage out on the ramp decreased, probably because the number of wide-bodied aircrafts increased. Seasonal and daily variations existed. Because of the detailed Production Statistics it was possible to create a job exposure matrix by job tasks and calendar periods. This information will be combined with individual information on job tasks back in time. Conclusion Although Production Statistics cannot provide information on individual factors such as the worker’s lifting technique and his use of lifting gear, Production Statistics may be a valuable tool in exposure assessments in epidemiological studies.
