Abstract:

This session's title is: Is New Emphasis on Administrative Data a Supplement to Survey Research or a 'Paradigm Shift'?

To be able to answer this question we discuss the development in the Nordic countries in Europe where administrative data have been used for statistical purposes during about 50 years. We try to explain how the production systems at the Nordic statistical agencies differ from the production systems in countries that do not use administrative data to that extent. When many registers can be linked, the register system itself is a new important factor that has great impact on the way statistics is produced. We also compare record linkage in different countries and discuss the nature of administrative data.
