“…In these areas, however, representatives of the Federal Statistical Office in Germany have complained of a lack of skills and education, especially among economists who have recently left the university (see Rendtel 2008). Specifically, it is said that young economists aren't familiar with the important surveys in official statistics, that they don't know the framework of survey methodology, and have limited experience handling empirical data -for example in dealing with item nonresponse or coding errors.…”

“…The decision in favour of either model depends on the individual preferences and composition of local faculties. An empirical analysis of the economic curricula in various faculties was presented by Rendtel (2008). This study compared 117 BA degree programs at economic faculties in universities and universities of applied sciences (Fachhochschulen).…”

“…7 Ein Beschreibung -durchaus typische -des Statistik-Lehrangebotes an einem wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Fachhochschul-Studiengang beschreibt Löwenbein (2008). Empirische Befunde zum StatistikLehrangebot an Universitäten und Fachhochschulen finden sich bei Rendtel (2008b), S. 16. Zusammenfassend lässt sich konstatieren, dass offenbar nur wenige Universitäten die Chance ergreifen, ihr Lehrprofilüber eine breitere empirische Grundausbildung von dem typischen Statistik-Lehrangebot an Fachhochschulen abzugrenzen.…”

“…Dementsprechend sind dann wesentliche Unterschiede zum Lehrangebot der Fachhochschulen nicht mehr festzustellen. 8Ä hnliche Erhebungen beschreiben auch Rendtel (2008b) sowie von der Lippe u. Kladroba (2008), wobei der Erhebungszeitpunkt in beiden Fällen rund ein Jahr vor der hier beschriebenen Erhebung liegen dürfte. In beiden Artikeln werden auchähnliche Schwierigkeiten wie die hier beschriebenen bei der Datenerhebung erwähnt.…”

The availability of well-educated researchers is necessary for the fruitful analysis of social and economic data. The increased data offer made possible by the creation of the Research Data Centers (RDCs) has resulted in an increased demand for PhD students at the master's or Diplom levels. Especially in economics, where we find intense competition among the various individual subjects within the course of study, survey statistics has not been very successful in laying claim to a substantial proportion of the coursework and training. The situation is more favorable in sociology faculties. This article argues that the creation of new CAMPUS Files would help foster statistical education by providing public use files covering a wider range of subjects. It also presents some suggestions for new CAMPUS Files along these lines. Additionally, it argues for the establishment of master's programs in survey statistics to increase the availability of well-trained statisticians. An outline of such a master's program is presented and current PhD programs are evaluated with respect to training in survey statistics. Training courses are also offered outside the university that promote the use of new data sets as well as expanding the knowledge of new statistical methods or methods that lie outside standard education. These training courses are organized by the RDCs, (i.e. the data producers), the Data Service Centers, or by GESIS (Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences). The current tendency to strengthen ties and collaborate with universities should be supported by making it possible to earn academic credit for such courses.
