The Census Bureau makes extensive use of administrative data to produce statistics about the U.S. population and economy. The use of external data depends on our ability to link and integrate across sources including census and survey data. By integrating external data, we can reduce respondent burden and increase the scope and depth of statistics and analyses. Researchers in the Census Bureau’s Center for Administrative Records Research and Applications (CARRA) conduct innovative research to investigate how administrative records may improve decennial census and survey operations and to answer important social scientific questions. This webinar will provide an overview the Census Bureau’s data linkage infrastructure, examples of CARRA research using linked data, and how external researchers may request access to Census Bureau data.
