Population aggregates from administrative data samples-how good are they?

Researchers regularly use administrative micro-data samples to approximate subgroup aggregates from the full population.

I also discuss the effect of statistical disclosure control on the aggregated data and how researchers can reduce bias resulting from censoring.
