This is a final CALL FOR PAPERS
During the sixth international conference on social science methodology, Amsterdam 17-20 August 2004, a session is devoted to "Combining Data from Diffferent Sources":
The main focus of this session is the integration of registers or, more general, large databases, which contain partial information on a larger amount of the population, and sample surveys, which contain detailed information on a carefully selected sample of the population. The combination should allow an optimal use of the individual data and minimize respondents burden as well as survey costs. A new and rapidly adaptable basis for extracting statistical information shall be created. Methods and tools for a reliable combination of data from different sources are the topic of this session. The methods discussed may either concern record linkage or statistical matching procedures.
Those who want to present a paper on this topic are kindly invited to sent an abstract to Susanne R�ssler (e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) with a cc to the conference organization (e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) before March 15, 2004
