Administrative register data has measurement errors that can lead to serious biases in analyses, but it is also useful for social science research. The document discusses developing statistical methods to estimate the extent of errors in administrative register data and correct analyses to reduce bias. It also mentions two PhD projects aimed at developing novel techniques to analyze register data and open up more opportunities for using register data in social science.
