"Survey Weighting after Imperfect Linkage to an Administrative File" by James Chipperfield
This paper proposes an instrumental variable regression estimator of population totals using a sample, a set of links between the sample units and records on an administrative file, and a set of calibration totals calculated from the administrative file. This paper proposes a survey-weighted estimator of a population total that is valid when the survey non-response mechanism is non-ignorable and false negatives occur in the administrative-survey linkage. False negatives lead to measurement error in the administrative variables that are available on the survey and will lead to biased estimates ...
