Abstract:
|
Linking survey and administrative data is an attractive option for substantive researchers interested in studying complex phenomenon and for survey methodologists who utilize such data to study data quality issues and reduce data collection costs. However, there several barriers to linkage that can potentially reduce the quality of the linked data,
including the effects of non-consent bias and matching errors among others. This roundtable aims to promote and discuss the joint use of administrative and survey data with a focus on linkage issues, including biases in linked data sets, methods of asking for linkage consent, and
direct and indirect matching methods. Results from observational and experimental linkage studies will be provided using multiple data sets
from the U.S. and Germany.
