Abstract:
|
This paper discusses the broader implications of using integrated data sets to improve statistics and better inform policy makers. It compares and contrasts standard approaches to statistical research v the approach took in the Medicaid Undercount Study, focusing on the benefits as well as the challenges. Additionally, it discusses the need for a mechanism that inserts results such as those from the Medicaid Undercount Study into published estimates from the CPS. For example, repeating the analysis on a yearly basis could provide both the Census Bureau and policy makers with potential "adjustments" or footnotes to published estimates on Medicaid enrollment.
