Race Responses and Fluidity across Surveys and Administrative Records

This body of work examines changes in race and Hispanic origin responses across different contexts and over time. This research originates from the Census Bureau’s broader effort examining the use of administrative records and third party data in survey and decennial operations. One potential use is to utilize administrative records when race and Hispanic origin responses are missing. These papers investigate the level of matched race and Hispanic origin responses for different groups, data sources, collection contexts, and across time.
