Abstract:

The first portion of this report provides a review of major administrative report files pertaining to individuals and to businesses. Major statistical uses of administrative records are outlined, including: (1) direct use of the records to obtain statistics and to supplement existing data via expanding coverage or content; and (2) technical uses of the data for constructing sampling frames, quality control, improving on procedures, and data evaluation. New developments in data from business establishment reporting and a number of potential uses of administrative records for data linkage are described. Technical problems in the statistical use of administrative records, including coverage, comparability, error and timing of data are discussed. The final section of the report covers various legal issues in accessing administrative records for statistical purposes. While much statistical use of administrative records is currently made in Federal agencies, this report is intended to inform managerial and technical staffs of the vast potential as well as difficulties entailed in augmenting current uses of administrative records for statistical purposes.
