• Abstract:
  Government agencies maintain data for the administration of government programs. Unlike survey data, which are collected for statistical purposes, administrative data are collected as part of a program agency’s routine operations. Through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) a program agency may share its administrative records, or a data file extract of those records, with a statistical agency (under provisions that protect data confidentiality). The extent and effectiveness of data-sharing are impeded by various barriers. One of these barriers is limited information on how to assess the quality of the data.
