The Study of Administrative Data was designed to examine the differences between reported 1982 Economic Census data and administrative record data for economic censuses tabulations. A report by Burns (1986) treats that comparison in a wider context; the part of the study covered in this document deals only with examination of photocopies of Census questionnaires and photocopies of the associated administrative records (Forms 941, 104OC, 1065, 1120, 1120s) for the same establishments, all of which were in certain Standard Industrial Classifications (SICs) within the state of Nebraska. The possibility existed that complete paper documents could show handwritten notes or scratchwork which might shed light on reporting discrepancies. Keying errors might also have had some impact. Statistical probability sampling was not used to select the 306 establishments examined. Staff members from the economic areas supplied Statistical Research Division (SRD) with a list of SICs that were of particular interest; these were SICs 50-Wholesale Durable Goods, 52-Retail Building Materials and Mobile Homes, 422-Public Warehousing Service, and 862-Professional Organizations Service. For convenience, all establishments were selected from one state, Nebraska, and thus their IRS forms were filed at a single IRS regional office. Cost dictated the number of establishments for this exploratory venture at about 300.
