资源简介：
We introduce a
new rule-based linking method for historical Census records. We augment earlier
algorithms based on name, age and place of birth (Abramitzky, Boustan, Eriksson,
2012, or “basic ABE”), with five matching characteristics – middle initial,
county of residence, and spouse and parents’ names. Relative to basic ABE, ABE-Extra
Information (“ABE-EI”) greatly increases match rates, improves accuracy and is
similarly representative of the population on most attributes, with geographic
mobility being one important exception. Relative to machine learning
algorithms, ABE-EI has somewhat lower match rates, greater representativeness,
and offers full replicability. We also create
the first ABE-based links for women.
