title = "Measuring the impact of data protection techniques on data utility: Evidence from the survey of consumer finances",
abstract = "Despite the fact that much empirical economic research is based on public-use data files, the debate on the impact of disclosure protection on data quality has largely been conducted among statisticians and computer scientists. Remarkably, economists have shown very little interest in this subject, which has potentially profound implications for research. Without input from such subject-matter experts, statistical agencies may make decisions that unnecessarily obstruct analysis. This paper examines the impact of the application of disclosure protection techniques on a survey that is heavily used by both economists and policy-makers: the Survey of Consumer Finances. It evaluates the ability of different approaches to convey information about changes in data utility to subject matter experts.",
