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.
