HomeHow to use administrative data for European Social Funds counterfactual impact evaluations
A step-by-step guide for managing authorities
Publication metadata
This document is a step-by-step guide for managing authorities and other evaluators of European Social Fund (ESF) interventions to help them build capacity on the use of administrative data for counterfactual impact evaluations. Administrative data are systematically collected by governments or other organisations for administrative purposes. Due to their accuracy and low cost, administrative data can be very useful for evaluations. The advantages of using administrative data also include the possibilities to link the data to survey data and to update them. In some cases, administrative registries alone contain the information needed for the entire evaluation exercise. However, most of the time the preferred option would be to link administrative data to survey data as the two types of information are complementary. Survey data, for instance, give insights into areas such as perceptions and detailed household expenditures. This type of information cannot be measured by administrative data. This document will focus only on the use of administrative registries for evaluation purposes.
