Statistical Database 구축에 관한 연구(SOCIO-ECONOMIC 관점에서)

Abstract

The objective of this study is to construct a statistical data base in order to keep track of the time serial movement in it and to process and analyze them using computer simulation methods, so that the results can serve as a basic data in making social and economic policies.

In Korea, there has been made no efforts in this area, although in advanced countries such as the U.S. and Germany the statistical data base is utilized as a fundamental database for national policy-making.

From the academic point of view, the study includes constructing a so-called socio-economic panel and further installing the interactive support system for method Oriented data exploration.

The socio-economic panel provide representative longitudinal data on income, transfer payments, labor market experience changing family composition, and housing for individuals, families and households.

In addition, it will allow representative cross-sectional analysis.

As panel studies concentrating on the questions about above mentioned subject, the methods of formulation of questionairs is studied in the first part of this paper.

In the second part the interactive support system for the method-oriented data exploration for the casual and experienced user. The inter face provided between software packages containing methods for data analysis and manipulation and data base system usually allows only for a data access from these methods. This however may only be considered as a first step towards an integrated system for interactive data analysis. A more sophisticated system should also support the user in selecting the appropriated method of analysis and the data sets for a given problem. This paper describes a method secelction routine that allows for user input of descriptors by which a method can be selected. Pascal and Cobol have been used for design and implementation respectively.
