Measuring Protection-Induced Errors in Earnings Outcomes from PSEO

Andrew Foote

CES Technical Notes Series from Center for Economic Studies, U.S. Census Bureau

Abstract: The Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes were originally released by Census in March 2018. As discussed in other publications (Foote et al. [2019]), the earnings data are protected using differential privacy methods. This protection method is more robust than alternatives, and more accurate than other DP methods, there is still error induced by the protection system. The purpose of this short technical note is to provide estimates of the error induced by the protection method.
