Working PaperFinding Needles in Haystacks: Multiple-Imputation Record Linkage Using Machine Learning
November 2021
Working Paper Number:
CES-21-35
This paper considers the problem of record linkage between a household-level survey and an establishment-level frame in the absence of unique identifiers. Linkage between frames in this setting is challenging because the distribution of employment across establishments is highly skewed. To address these difficulties, this paper develops a probabilistic record linkage methodology that combines machine learning (ML) with multiple imputation (MI). This ML-MI methodology is applied to link survey respondents in the Health and Retirement Study to their workplaces in the Census Business Register. The linked data reveal new evidence that non-sampling errors in household survey data are correlated with respondents' workplace characteristics.View Full Paper PDF

Working PaperOptimal Probabilistic Record Linkage: Best Practice for Linking Employers in Survey and Administrative Data
March 2019
Working Paper Number:
CES-19-08
This paper illustrates an application of record linkage between a household-level survey and an establishment-level frame in the absence of unique identifiers. Linkage between frames in this setting is challenging because the distribution of employment across firms is highly asymmetric. To address these difficulties, this paper uses a supervised machine learning model to probabilistically link survey respondents in the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) with employers and establishments in the Census Business Register (BR) to create a new data source which we call the CenHRS. Multiple imputation is used to propagate uncertainty from the linkage step into subsequent analyses of the linked data. The linked data reveal new evidence that survey respondents' misreporting and selective nonresponse about employer characteristics are systematically correlated with wages.View Full Paper PDF
