Three-layer confidentiality protection in<br />

QWI (I)<br />

■ Layer 1: Multiplicative noise-infusion at the establishment<br />

level, with three very important properties<br />

1. every establishment-level data item is distorted by some<br />

minimum amount<br />

2. distortion amount and direction are time-invariant: data<br />

are always distorted in the same direction (increased or<br />

decreased) by the same percentage amount in every<br />

period.<br />

3. when estimates are aggregated, the effects of the<br />

distortion cancel out for the vast majority of the estimates<br />
