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 />
