Sinossi
This Open Access book highlights the importance of access to administrative microdata sources. Administrative data presents several advantages: it often covers the entire population, it is almost measurement-error free, its cost of collection, maintenance, and update is covered by its primary use, and it can be linked to other data, including surveys.
Many stakeholders would gain from improved access: the research community would raise the quality and quantity of publications; policymakers and citizens would learn whether policies work; firms would benefit from more market transparency; trust in public institutions would improve. Nonetheless, many barriers still exist. Some of them are due to asymmetrical information between institutions and the general public about the benefits of data access. This book aims to lower this gap, with a focus on the European experience.
The book is divided into two parts. The first part analyses the experiences in the EU countries from the perspective of data users. The second part highlights the benefits for stakeholders in specific policy areas, providing examples of outcomes for individuals, firms, markets, and the environment.
The book lends itself to a three-level reading: first, it provides data users and the research community with a map on how to get access to administrative data in the European Union; second, data-holding institutions can find a host of examples on how to manage and possibly improve data access, with proper safeguards; third, policymakers at both the national and the EU level can identify specific areas of intervention to foster better access to administrative data.

Dalla quarta di copertina
This Open Access book highlights the importance of administrative microdata sources. Administrative data presents several advantages, including wide coverage, low measurement error and collection costs, and interoperability with surveys.
Improved access would benefit many stakeholders: the research community would produce higher-quality and more numerous publications, policymakers and citizens would learn whether policies are effective, firms would benefit from greater market transparency, and trust in public institutions would increase. However, many barriers still exist. This book aims to address these issues.
Focusing on the European Union, the book is organized into two parts. The first part analyzes the access regimes in each EU country. It provides data users with information on how to access administrative data and offers data holders best practices for combining access with data security. The second part documents the benefits of administrative data in key policy areas - society, the economy, and the environment - and identifies specific areas of intervention.
Administrative data are the foundation for modern policy analysis. Berton and Paruolo’s exciting new book highlights state-of-the art applications of administrative data, offering practical advice on how to use the right data to learn “what works”. It also includes a valuable country-by-country overview of the administrative data in each EU country, curated by a who’s who list of experts. A must-read for anyone looking to learn more about the prospects and potential for administrative data in the EU.David Card
