This paper explores new methods for improving economic statistics by combining survey responses with administrative and third-party data. By leveraging these linked data sources, researchers can reduce reporting burdens, enhance accuracy, and uncover insights not visible in surveys alone. The study highlights both the opportunities and challenges of using integrated data, from technical hurdles to the importance of protecting privacy. Ultimately, it points to a future where economic measurement is more efficient, detailed, and reflective of real-world conditions .
