Details

The European Central Banks (ECB) Eurosystem requests and helps organize each country within the European Union to routinely collect statistical information via their central banks. These data frames are a subset from data collected by the Bank of Italy. Each year can be considered a cross-sectional study, although there are some people common to each year. Hence the data collectively can be considered partly a longitudinal study too.
