DNB Household Survey (Netherlands)
The DNB Household Survey (formerly known as the CentER Savings Survey/VSB Panel) is a Dutch panel survey begun in 1993. Each year, financial data are collected from households in the Internet panel of CentERdata (the CentERpanel).
The data – covering 2,000 households – contain information about work, pensions, accommodation, mortgages, income, assets, liabilities, health, perception of personal financial situation, perception of risks and other variables. Research can be undertaken on both economic and psychological aspects of savings behavior.
Tilburg University has began work on a new related panel: The Advanced Multi-Disciplinary Facility for Measurement and Experimentation in the Social Sciences (MESS), to include 5,000 households.
DNB Coverage is from 1993.
Data is updated annually.
