Forthcoming events
27 September 2004
Linking survey responses and administrative records
Royal Statistical Society, 12 Errol Street, London
Linkage of survey responses with administrative data records is
increasingly being done in the UK. It can potentially provide a route
to
reducing respondent burden, collecting additional information and
reducing measurement error. A number of issues need to be addressed
in the data linkage, e.g. what should the matching variable(s) be?
Since
linkage typically requires explicit consent from respondents, are
those
who give consent a representative sample?
