Outline of Final Research Achievements

The objective of this study is to create data-linkage (DL) between years or between the statistical surveys, by using the individual information in the agricultural statistics. Panel data can be created by the DL between years, and on the other hand, micro data can be mutually complimented by the DL between the statistical surveys, and either of the DL would realize the advanced use of the statistical surveys. It was revealed that the accomplishment of this study would allow the DL of multiple agricultural statistics such as rural community-based farm cooperatives (RCFC) to be conducted. It was also revealed that, as a result of creation of the link codes on the report of the survey on RCFC, those cooperatives with the maximum of 9-year duration occupied 40%, and, thus the construction of large database was possible. Also, going through the survey slip remaining situation revealed that, depending on prefectures, there may be the survey slips remaining in about 60% of communities.
