Regarding the removal of this link:
It was commented as "rm workforall.net linkspam by User talk:81.242.58.154" but I do not see any discussion about the quality of the link on the user's discussion pages. It looks like the user spams all possible WP articles with the link but I do not see how it proves its low quality. Can you please enlight me? (I do not defend its quality because I do not know the site; but I would like to see a reason/proof.) :-) --Ioannes Pragensis 16:46, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Workforall is a leading think-tank in Brussels. Their contributions provide information on a great number of socio-economic subjects, some of which have indeed political sensitive implications conflicting with mainstream economic thought. The information they provide is high quality, well researched and well documented, and their posts were a positive contribution to Wikipedia's quality and pluralism.
One or two of their posts would indeed better suite under a different subject. However the indiscriminate mass destruction for this sole reason of all the valuable information they provided has destroyed lots of highly valuable subjects.
Such hasty random destruction without thorough investigation is causing much collateral damage and looks more like vandalism than it helps to fight spam. Such hit-or-miss random destruction in a couple of minutes has the ultimate effect of lowering the overall quality of Wikipedia.
The last thing the Wikipedia community needs is censureship. Wikipedia does not need censors from big media to validate the quality of information. The visitors of Wikipedia are competent enough to evaluate the quality of information provided. Once big media censors take over it will be the end of the unique Wikipedia concept. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.201.26.155 (talk • contribs)

The proposal is at Talk:Economic statistics#Proposal to merge Economic statistics with Economic data in a month. Please comment there (if desired) to keep the discussion in one place. The name of this article would remain unchanged. Thank you. --Thomasmeeks (talk) 16:48, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Original
For time-series data, reported measurements can be hourly (e.g. for stock markets), daily, monthly, quarterly, or annually. Estimates such as averages are often subjected to seasonal adjustment to remove weekly or seasonal-periodicity elements, for example, holiday-period sales and seasonal unemployment.[5]
Comments to change For time-series data, reported measurements can be tic by tic (e.g. for stock markets), hourly daily, monthly, quarterly, or annually.
Original Many methods can be used to analyse the data. These include, e.g., time-series analysis using multiple regression, Box-Jenkins analysis, seasonality analysis. Analysis may be univariate (modeling one series) or multivariate (from several series). econometricians, economic statisticians, and financial analysts formulate models, whether for past relationships or for economic forecasting.[8] These models include both partial equilibrium microeconomics aimed at examining particular parts of an economy or economies, or they may cover a whole economic system, as in general equilibrium theory or and in macroeconomics. Economists use these models to understand past events and to forecast future events, e.g., demand, prices and employment. Methods have also been developed for analyzing or correcting results from use of incomplete data and errors in variables.[9]
Comments to changeEconometricians, economic statisticians, and financial analysts formulate models for past relationships as well as economic forecasting.[8]

Dr. Lippi has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:
Extremely generic and confused (I am not an English mother tongue but even the language seems very sloppy). For example: "With the complexity of modern economies and the lags inherent in macroeconomic policy instruments, a country must have the capacity to promptly identify any adverse trends in its economy and to apply the appropriate corrective measure. This cannot be done without economic data that is complete, accurate and timely." Even saying such platitudes the author is sloppy: "adverse trends cannot be identified "promptly". Trends are long term movements of economic magnitudes.
We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.
