DESCRIPTION:In this seminar we investigate if generating synthetic data ca
 n be a viable strategy to provide access to detailed geocoding information
  for external researchers without compromising the confidentiality of the 
 units included in the database. This research was motivated by a recent pr
 oject at the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) that linked exact geo
 codes to the Integrated Employment Biographies\, a large administrative da
 tabase containing several million records. Based on these data we evaluate
  the performance of several synthesizers in terms of addressing the trade-
 off between preserving analytical validity and limiting the risk of disclo
 sure. We propose strategies for making the synthesizers scalable for such 
 large files\, introduce analytical validity measures for the generated dat
 a and provide general recommendations for statistical agencies considering
  the synthetic data approach for disseminating detailed geographical infor
 mation.
