  • Comment: The overnight amendments are helpful, good work. I also note, and appreciate, that this is a translation from the [original page on German Wikipedia]. However I am still not seeing how the draft meets WP:NORG? Again, it would be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:NORG criteria #3, because XXXXX").

  • Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:NORG) but presently it is not clear that it does.
    As you may know, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’.
    Please note that many of the references are not from sources that are considered reliable for establishing notability.
    Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link).
    Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements, then please make the necessary amendments before resubmitting the page. It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject.
    It would also be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:NORG criteria #3, because XXXXX").
    You may also wish to leave a note for me on my talk page and I would be happy to reassess. Cabrils (talk) 04:42, 3 July 2024 (UTC)


The Swiss Society of Economics and Statistics (SSES) (German: Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Volkswirtschaft und Statistik (SGVS); French: Société suisse d'économie et de statistique (SSES); Italian: Società svizzera di economia e di statistica (SSES)) is a a Swiss learned society for economics and statistics and an association comprising all Swiss universities with Faculties of Economics.[1] The association, which is governed by Swiss law, is based in Zürich,[2] and its secretariat has been significantly supported by the Swiss National Bank since 2001.[3]

The primary goal of the SSES is to facilitate the advancement of economic research within Switzerland and to foster collaboration among researchers, both domestically and internationally.[1] The society is particularly focused on supporting and promoting the success of early-career economists by providing them with opportunities to showcase their research findings to a scholarly audience.[1][4]

The current president is Kurt Schmidheiny from the University of Basel.[5] The society is a member of the Swiss Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences.[6]

The SSES publishes the Swiss Journal of Economics and Statistics (German: Schweizerische Zeitschrift für Volkswirtschaft und Statistik), an open-access peer-reviewed academic journal.[7][8]

In addition, the society organizes congresses[9] and conferences.[10]

History

[edit]

The society was founded on July 19th, 1864[11][12] under the name Swiss Statistical Society (German: Schweizerische Statistische Gesellschaft, SSG). In 1937, it changed its name to Swiss Society of Statistics and Economics (German: Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Statistik und Volkswirtschaft).[13][12] In 2001, the name was slightly altered to Swiss Society of Economics and Statistics (German: Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Volkswirtschaft und Statistik).[14]

The Swiss Statistical Society was established during a period of increasing global interest in the promotion of statistics. Its establishment was influenced by the formation of the Royal Statistical Society (London, 1834), the American Statistical Association (Boston,1839) and the Société de Statistique de Paris [fr] (Paris, 1860).[15] Early projects of the society included compiling comprehensive Swiss statistics, standardizing statistical practices, and ensuring uniformity in statistical reporting across different Swiss cantons.[16] The society played a role in shaping official statistics by acting as a bridge between private statistical initiatives and governmental bodies.[17]

The society significantly contributed to the development of Swiss social security and insurance mathematics by conducting essential surveys, advocating for state regulation, and providing expert input on legislative processes.[18]

The society advocated for the application of statistical methods in various fields, including economics and public administration. In 1937, it expanded its activities to include economics and officially changed its name to Société suisse de Statistique et d'Economie politique (English: the Swiss Society of Statistics and Economics), reflecting the close relationship between statistical data and economic phenomena.[12] The expansion of this second field progressively overshadowed statistics, leading to a situation where statisticians from public offices joined Schweizerische Vereinigung für Statistik (SVS) (English: Swiss Statistical Society (SSS)), an organization established in 1988 by academic statisticians.[19]

The Swiss Society of Statistics and Economics published the "Zeitschrift für Schweizerische Statistik" (Journal of Swiss Statistics), which served as an important platform for disseminating statistical knowledge and research. This journal, originally focused on statistics produced by the society, evolved to include a broader range of topics and was later renamed the Swiss Journal of Economics and Statistics to reflect the society's expanded focus.

A l'instar de la Royal Statistical Society, fondée à Londres en 1833, et de l'American Statistical Association, créée à Boston en 1839, se formaient notamment dans les années soixante, et dans le monde entier, de nombreuses sociétés destinées à promouvoir la statistique. L'une des plus brillantes d'entre elles, celle de Paris, vit le jour en 1860. La fondation de notre Société suisse, en 1864, était donc, en quelque sorte, « dans l'air ». [It is also worth recalling that, in both the old and the new worlds, statistics enjoyed a genuine enthusiasm at that time. Similarly to the Royal Statistical Society, founded in London in 1833, and the American Statistical Association, created in Boston in 1839, numerous societies aimed at promoting statistics were formed in the 1860s and around the world. One of the most brilliant of these, the one in Paris, was established in 1860. The founding of our Swiss Society in 1864 was, in a sense, "in the air."]

In dieser Linie liegt dann auch der von der Gesellschaft ausgegangene Vorschlag, in jedem Kanton aus dem Inhalt des Jahresberichts das statistische Material durch einen Statistiker extrahieren, sichten und in übersichtliche Form bringen zu lassen, und zwar allmählich in allen Kantonen nach einheitlichen Formularen, um so zu übereinstimmenden, vergleich baren Tabellenwerken zu gelangen.

Sein Interesse an den Sozialversicherungen stand in enger Verbindung mit seinem Engagement für die Schweizerische Statistische Gesellschaft, die er 1864 mitbegründete und der er zwischen 1877 und 1886 vorstand. Auch in der Statistisch-volkswirtschaftlichen Gesellschaft in Basel war er aktiv. 1870 und 1880 war er für die Volkszählung in Basel verantwortlich. Im Auftrag der Schweizerischen Statistischen Gesellschaft verfasste Kinkelin 1868 und 1887 zwei wichtige Erhebungen über das private Hilfskassenwesen in der Schweiz und deren Versicherungsmodelle, insbesondere im Bereich der Kranken-, Alters- und Invalidenversicherung. Die Ausführungen Kinkelins zeigten verschiedene versicherungstechnische Schwächen des privaten Hilfskassenwesens auf und argumentierten für eine stärkere staatliche Regulierung dieses Versicherungssektors (Kalkulationsdebatten um 1900). [His interest in social insurance was closely linked to his commitment to the Swiss Statistical Society, which he co-founded in 1864 and of which he headed between 1877 and 1886. He was also active in the Statistisch-Volkswirtschaftliche Gesellschaft in Basel. In 1870 and 1880 he was responsible for the census in Basel. On behalf of the Swiss Statistical Society, Kinkelin wrote two important surveys in 1868 and 1887 on the private auxiliary fund system in Switzerland and its insurance models, especially in the area of health, old age and disability insurance. Kinkelin's remarks pointed out various actuarial weaknesses of the private auxiliary fund system and argued for stronger state regulation of this insurance sector (calculation debates around 1900).]

Die erste Berufsvereinigung, die Schweizerische Statistische Gesellschaft, wurde 1864 aus der Taufe gehoben, wobei Hermann Kinkelin eine führende Rolle zukam. Sie befasste sich mit der Erhebung von Daten und erweiterte sich 1937 zur Schweizerischen Gesellschaft für Statistik und Volkswirtschaft (seit 2001 Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Volkswirtschaft und Statistik). Dieses zweite Gebiet verdrängte die Statistik zunehmend, sodass sich 1998 die Statistiker der öffentlichen Ämter der Schweizerischen Vereinigung für Statistik (heute Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Statistik) anschlossen, die 1988 von universitären Statistikern gegründet worden war. [The first professional association, the Swiss Statistical Society, was founded in 1864, with Hermann Kinkelin playing a leading role. It was concerned with the collection of data and expanded in 1937 to become the Swiss Society of Statistics and Economics (since 2001 the Swiss Society of Economics and Statistics). This second field increasingly displaced statistics, so that in 1998 the statisticians of the public offices joined the Swiss Statistical Association (now the Swiss Statistical Society), which had been founded in 1988 by university statisticians.]
