International Symposium on Linked Employer-Employee Data

会议的目的是使统计机构、经济学家和统计学家能够更好地了解经济变化对工人和企业的影响。劳动力市场立法、企业重组、贸易和技术变革对就业和收入的影响是重要的政策问题，但如果不同时考虑劳动力市场的需求和供给方面（企业和这些企业雇用的工人），就无法回答这些问题。关联数据使我们能够做到这一点。一些欧洲国家已经开始了这一进程，但由于连接相对较新，各国之间的互动并不多。这次会议有三个主要目标。它将为数据的国际可比性建立一个基础，并在参与这些问题的北美和欧洲研究人员之间建立一个网络。它将帮助北美和欧洲研究界了解如何解决联系、获取和保密问题，以便对各国之间关键就业和收入问题的研究进行比较。它将展示这些联系所增加的价值，并有助于确定现在可以调查的由此产生的问题。有许多渠道可以传播这些结果。例如，最好的学术风格论文将发表在《劳动经济学：国际期刊》的特刊上。关于这次会议的调查报告将刊登在《每月劳工评论》上。

The intention of the conference is to enable statistical agencies, economists, and statisticians to better understand the effect of economic changes on workers and firms. The employment and earnings effects of labor market legislation, firm restructuring, trade and technological change are important policy questions, but cannot be answered without looking at both the demand and supply side of the labor market (firms and the workers employed by those firms) at the same time. Linked data enable us to do this. Some European countries have begun this process, but because linking is relatively new, there has not been much interaction across countries. The conference has three main goals. It will establish a basis for international comparability of data, and a network between North American and European researchers involved in these issues. It will help the North American and European research community learn how to address linkage, access and confidentiality issues so that research on key employment and earnings issues can be compared across countries. It will demonstrate the value added from these linkages and help identify the resulting issues which can now be investigated. There are a number of outlets for disseminating these results. The best academic style papers, for example, will be published in a special issue of Labour Economics: An International Journal. A survey of the conference will be published in The Monthly Labor Review.
