Abstract

The combined use of administrative data and sample surveys has become increasingly important in statistical applications. In this paper, we focus on the combination of administrative tax records and sample survey data collecting information on household expenditures. Our purpose is to create a new dataset containing information from both data sources following an almost-exact matching approach.

Notes

  1. 1.

    ICFM stands for “Indagine sui Consumi delle Famiglie nel Comune di Milano”.

  2. 2.

    AMeRIcA (“Anagrafe Milanese e Redditi Individuali con Archivio”) has been managed by the Statistics Department of Milan-Bicocca University on the behalf of Milan Municipality.

  3. 3.

    In this linkage exercise, possible link occurs when one record in the ICFM dataset is linked to many records in the AMeRIcA dataset; namely, there exists a one-to-many type of link.
