CROS
Collaboration in Research and Methodology for Official Statistics
Currently, internationally comparable data on most types of violence against women do not exist. The existing data (based on administrative data in Member States) suffer from a series of problems (such as differences in the legal and operational definitions of the crimes and the methodologies used in recording their incidence), which render comparisons between countries impossible.

Workshop on using administrative da
Workshop on access to administrative data sources (Brussels, 13-14 September 2016)
The goal of this project is to help ESS Member States to make wider and better use of administrative sources in the production of official statistics.
The project "ESSnet Statistical Methodology -- Area ISAD" (Integration of Survey and Administrative Data), consisting of the NSIs of Austria, the Czech Republic, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain, aims at promoting knowledge and application in practice of sound methodologies for the joint use of existing data sources in the production of official statistics.
The main objectives of this project are to explore the possibilities of the use of admin data for business statistics, to make best practices in this area available to the NSIs, and to prepare recommendations on the efficient ways of producing business statistics by using data that are already available in the economy.
This report presents the results from the first work package within the ESSnet titled Quality of multisource statistics (also known as ESSnet KOMUSO applying an imperfect acronym). The ESSnet is organised within ESS.VIP.ADMIN and sees participation from Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, Hungary, Austria, Ireland, Lithuania, and Italy.

Administrative data are used more and more in official statistics as a replacement for survey data.
[no-lexicon]When data sets are linked at individual level, for instance survey data with administrative data, often no unique linkage keys are available. In that case, probabilistic linkage may be used. With probabilistic linkage, linkage errors will occur. These errors may have impact on subsequent statistical analysis.
