Abstract
Thanks to extraordinary and exponential improvements in data storage and computing

capacities, it is now possible to collect, manage, and analyze data in magnitudes and in

manners that would have been inconceivable just a short time ago. As the world has

developed this remarkable capacity to store and analyze data, so have the world’s

governments developed large-scale, comprehensive data files on tax programs, workforce

information, benefit programs, health, and education. While these data are collected for

purely administrative purposes, they represent remarkable new opportunities for expanding

our knowledge. This chapter describes some of the benefits and challenges associated with

the use of administrative data in education research. We also offer specific case studies of

data that have been developed in both the Nordic countries and the United States, and offer

an (incomplete) inventory of data sets used by social scientists to study education questions

on every inhabited continent on earth.
