眼下,不管是公众对房价涨跌指数变化,还是地方GDP核算数据之和大于全国的疑问,人口数据打架之类,等等,统计机构一时被推到了社会关注焦点的风口浪尖。这一方面标志着社会公众对数据、对统计的敏感和重视,其直接表现就是对数据对统计质疑,甚至批评。另一方面,客观上也显示了统计专业与社会公众存在的一些隔膜、矛盾。 Right now, regardless of the public changes in the price change index, or the sum of local GDP accounting data is greater than the national question, the population data such as fighting and so on, and so on, the statistical agency temporarily pushed to the cusp of social attention. This aspect marks the public’s sensitivity to and emphasis on statistics and data. Its direct manifestation is the questioning and even criticism of statistics. On the other hand, objectively, it also shows some gaps and contradictions between the statistics profession and the public.
