Abstract
This dissertation provides three examples of how using naturally occurring datasets, data collected independent of the consideration of researchers, can answer important research questions. These types of data are called "administrative records" or "organic data" and include sources as diverse as W2 tax filings, stock prices, and Google searches (see Groves, 2011).
