Abstract: This work is part of a project studying the performance of model based estimators in a small area context. We have chosen a simple statistical application in which we estimate the growth rate of accupation for several regions of Spain. We compare three estimators: the direct one based on straightforward results from the survey (which is unbiassed), and a third one which is based in a statistical model and that minimizes the mean square error.

Keywords: Borrowing strength; empirical best linear unbiased prediction; mean square error; synthetic estimation (search for similar items in EconPapers)
