Press release: The hidden treasure: using admin data to improve policy making in the CEE

As a legacy of centralised planned economies, post-socialist European countries share a strong tradition of extensive data collection by the state. These administrative data collected by the tax authority, pension funds and other government bodies are often quite high quality. Administrative data on individuals or firms has many advantages over survey data. It is often more accurate, especially compared to surveys asking people to remember things in the past, and it can provide large samples at a reasonable price. Also, by linking two or more databases, we can produce such amount of information on the (anonymised) individual that would be infeasible to collect in a survey.
