There is great potential for using linked survey and administrative data for policy research by improving the accuracy of survey data and sample frames. However, limitations must be thoroughly investigated as administrative data are not public domain like survey microdata. While the data cannot be made public, documentation and research on the linked files and their limitations should be put in the public domain. Issues around sample loss, measurement error, data editing, and timely access must also be addressed to realize the benefits of linked administrative and survey data for policy research.
