This paper details efforts to link administrative records from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to American Community Survey (ACS) and 2010 Census microdata for the study of migration among foreign-born and native-born populations in the United States. Specifically, we (1) document our linkage strategy and methodology for inferring migration in IRS records; (2) model selection into and survival across IRS records to determine suitability for research applications; and (3) gauge the efficacy of the IRS records by demonstrating how they can be used to validate and potentially improve migration responses for native-born and foreign-born respondents in ACS microdata. Our results show little evidence of selection or survival bias in the IRS records, suggesting broad generalizability to the nation as a whole. Moreover, we find that the combined IRS 1040, 1099, and W2 records may provide important information on populations, such as the foreign-born, that may be difficult to reach with traditional Census Bureau surveys. Finally, the results of our comparison of IRS and ACS migration responses show that IRS records may be useful in improving ACS migration measurement for respondents whose migration response is proxy, allocated, or imputed. Taking these results together, we discuss the potential application of our longitudinal IRS dataset to innovations in migration research on both the native-born and foreign-born populations of the United States.

美国的外国出生和本地出生的移民:来自国税局相关的行政和人口普查调查记录的证据

本文详细介绍了将行政记录从美国国税局(IRS)链接到美国社区调查(ACS)和2010年人口普查微数据的工作,以研究美国在外国出生和本地出生的人口之间的迁移。具体来说,我们(1)在IRS记录中记录我们的推论迁移策略的链接策略和方法;(2)在IRS记录中选择模型并在IRS记录中生存,以确定是否适合研究应用;(3)通过展示如何将其用于验证和潜在改善ACS微数据中本地出生和外国出生的受访者的迁移响应,来评估IRS记录的有效性。我们的结果几乎没有证据表明IRS记录中存在选择或生存偏见的证据,表明对整个国家具有广泛的普遍性。而且,我们发现IRS 1040、1099和W2的合并记录可能会提供有关人口的重要信息,例如外国出生的人口,这可能是传统的人口普查局调查难以达到的。最后,我们对IRS和ACS迁移响应的比较结果表明,IRS记录对于改进迁移响应是代理,分配或估算的受访者可能有助于改善ACS迁移度量。综合这些结果,我们讨论了纵向IRS数据集在美国本地出生和外国出生人口移民研究创新中的潜在应用。我们对IRS和ACS迁移响应的比较结果表明,对于迁移响应是代理,分配或估算的受访者,IRS记录可能有助于改善ACS迁移度量。综合这些结果,我们讨论了纵向IRS数据集在美国本地出生和外国出生人口移民研究创新中的潜在应用。我们对IRS和ACS迁移响应的比较结果表明,对于迁移响应是代理,分配或估算的受访者,IRS记录可能有助于改善ACS迁移度量。综合这些结果,我们讨论了纵向IRS数据集在美国本地出生和外国出生人口移民研究创新中的潜在应用。
