Abstract:
Combining data from different sources has become essential for social scientists and policy makers to take full advantage of the data deluge in an increasingly digitalised society. While we see many attempts at using a single approach (big data sources) with mixed results, the most exciting projects rely on a combination of different data, some of which are still collected through traditional modes. In this talk, Professor Kreuter will highlight a few approaches and provide a framework enabling researchers to think about creating new data products.
Professor Kreuter will use several examples from economic research, with a specific focus on the IAB-SMART research project to discuss privacy issues and approaches deployed to create high-quality combined data sources (read more here). The IAB-SMART study uses innovative data sources, such as administrative records, surveys, and digital traces from smart phones, to measure the effects of long-term unemployment on social integration and social activity. Using the case study from different countries, the talk will demonstrate how to handle potential coverage bias and biases due to non-response and measurement errors, while being cognisant of privacy norms.
The Webinar is jointly organized by UN-ECLAC Statistics Division and Inter-Secretariat Working Group on Household Surveys. It will be held on 1 July 2021, 10:00am-12:30pm (EDT). Register for connection details.
