Abstract
The objective of this paper is to describe a process through which the original information of an administrative data source (the Spanish “Continuous Sample of Working Life” -“Muestra Continua de Vidas Laborales”) can be organised in such a way as to permit the accurate study of work histories. It presents a comparison of the information obtained using the procedure we propose by linking the available samples (2004-2010 complete cumulative spells file) and that obtained using retrospectively only one sample (2010 data file) in three empirical applications. The aim of these applications is to demonstrate the sample loss and the potential biases which occur when data on spells and individuals are not processed correctly.
