收集和整合数据的新能力为科学家和决策者了解影响国家重点工作的因素提供了更大的潜力。然而，由于这种能力的增加，经济数据的收集者和生产者面临两项重大挑战。第一个问题是，如何在保密的情况下使用从大量人类数据流中获得的信息？第二个问题是优秀科学的本质：社会如何才能最好地提供和促进对丰富而敏感的数据的获取，从而使经验结果得以推广和复制？本文首先讨论了当前的保密保护技术，并举例说明了经济学家进行的典型类型分析的一些后果。然后，它描述了由于技术进步而出现的挑战，并开发了一个简单的经济框架。论文最后提出了一个研究议程。
New capacities to collect and integrate data offer expanded potential for scientists and policy-makers to understand factors contributing to key national priorities. However, two substantial challenges face collectors and producers of economic data as a result of this increased capacity. The first is how can the information derived from vast streams of data on human beings be used while protecting confidentiality? The second is the essence of good science: how can society best provide and promote access to rich and sensitive data so that empirical results can be generalized and replicated? This paper begins by discussing current confidentiality protection techniques accompanied by illustrations of some consequences for the typical type of analyses performed by economists. It then describes the challenges that are emerging as a result of technological advances, and develops a simple economic framework. The paper concludes with a suggested research agenda.
