Since 1993, CentERdata annually collects economic data through a panel that consists of some two thousand households. The purpose of this DNB Household Survey (formerly known as CentER Savings Survey) is to study the economic and psychological determinants of the saving behavior of households. The data are collected through the CentERpanel, which collects data every week on various topics.
Not all Dutch people have computers with Internet access, nor do the panel members. Households without a computer and/or Internet access are given the use of a simple computer and Internet access.
