This ESRC supported event will highlight the power of administrative data and the strengths and limitations of such data for research purposes.
The conference will cover both innovative research that has used administrative data, (with examples from the fields of education, deprivation and welfare) and innovative methods for using administrative data (including Bayesian approaches to combining data, capture-recapture methods and immigration estimation). The conference will also explore new mechanisms for accessing administrative data (such as HMRC's new data laboratory and the Secure Data Service) and discuss the future for administrative data in research, with views from the government and academia.
