AB - The use of administrative data, or big administrative data, for evidence-based policy research has been rapidly spreading, from Nordic countries at the beginning to other countries in Europe and North America. Although Korea ranks high in international assessment of e-government and open access to government data, the use of administrative data in social sciences and policy research has been very limited. Linking multiple sources of administrative data and survey data and constructing a comprehensive high-quality population data is extremely difficult and hardly achieved. In this paper, we discuss the value of utilizing administrative data for evidence-based policymaking and social science research. We examine how the issue of privacy protection has been addressed in relation to the use of linked administrative data in Scandinavia, the UK, and the US. In conclusion, we urge Statistics Korea to construct a panel dataset of register-based Census and a full-population register-based quality dataset of incomes and assets in collaboration with National Tax Service and other public agencies. Social scientists should take the initiative in launching large research projects using linked administrative data, and National Research Foundation of Korea and National Research Council for Economics, Humanities and Social Sciences need to actively promote such projects.
