Selected papers from the 2016 Conference of European Statistics Stakeholders : special issue : 2017 edition

The Conference of European Statistics Stakeholders (CESS) brings together European stakeholders, such as official statisticians, methodologists, private data producers/providers and data users. The conference, held biennially, gives participants an opportunity to discuss user needs and exchange good practices in statistical production and outreach. It is also an opportunity to illustrate innovative ways of visualising and communicating statistics and promote new methodological ideas in data conception, collection and analysis. This special statistical working paper (SWP) issue presents selected papers from CESS 2016, held in Budapest on 20-21 October 2016. The papers highlight many of the current and future themes for ensuring good quality statistics fit for use.
