  2. Chapter 13 - structure • Pros and cons of using administrative data • Summary of what energy administrative data individual countries use and for what purposes? • Reconciliation between top-down survey results and bottom up admin data • Where can administrative data be sourced? • Importance of designing policies with a focus on monitoring and evaluation • What is data matching • What are the benefits and challenges of data matching? • Examples of what countries doing

  3. Chapter 13 – issues to consider • Agree on chapter differences between aggregate administrative data (should this be wholly within chapter 5) and individual consumer admin data (used for chapter 13). Coverage of reconciliation between the two? • Legal issues – use of data & implications will vary between countries … level of generalisation / specifics? • “Protocol” issues – linking with data from other Government departments • Approach where not all data is available at individual consumer level. • Consider missing variables and households (coverage) • Coverage of wider data / statistical / policy benefits of data matching

  4. Chapter 13 – issues to consider • Approach where not all data is available at individual consumer level. • Consider missing variables and households (coverage) • Should designing control groups be included in section 13.5 when referring to evaluation – or just refer to theory. • Applicability of lessons for countries with different legal issues / types of admin data? • Should chapter 13.2 also give details of countries that do have some individual level admin data, but don’t use it … and why?
