The CentERpanel and the DNB Household Survey: Methodological Aspects

This study presents an overview of the main characteristics of the CentERpanel as well as of the DNB Household Survey, a longitudinal database of economic and psychological aspects of financial behaviour of Dutch households run at CentERdata, Tilburg University and sponsored by De Nederlandsche Bank. Started in 1993, the survey is a very rich and valuable database for both academic research and policy oriented studies. Its flexibility in collecting the data on a wide range of topics together with limited associated costs makes the DHS a very powerful instrument for empirical analysis.
