Abstract:	We describe an emerging synthesis of ideas surrounding the appropriate ways to combine data of different kinds. First, we build a framework in which we describe the typical pitfalls in using such data for research and program evaluation purposes, and how statistical models can be used to "calibrate and augment" one data source with another. Next, we describe several application areas, and illustrate the potential for pitfalls (and use of calibration) in such initiatives. Finally, we point to a potential new applications in the future. We conclude by proposing new uses of multiple data sources for policy-relevant information.
